New Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard Keeps You Connected to the Windows, iOS
and Android Devices You Type On
NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Today Logitech (SIX: LOGN)(NASDAQ: LOGI) announced the expansion of its
keyboard lineup with the Logitech®
Bluetooth® Illuminated Keyboard K810. Compatible with Windows, iOS
and Android™ devices — and with a layout designed for Windows 8 — this
rechargeable keyboard uses Bluetooth connectivity to pair with up to
three devices simultaneously. Your keyboard can be connected to your PC,
tablet and smartphone and you can easily switch among them with the push
of a button.

"It's increasingly common for people to use more than one device over
the course of the day, and we saw an opportunity to help ease the
transition among screens with the Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated
Keyboard," said Mike Culver, vice president of brand development for
consumer computing platforms at Logitech. "Using Logitech's heritage of
high quality and reliability, this keyboard combines the functionality
and design people expect with simultaneous multi-device pairing, which
they will appreciate."
This thin keyboard is designed to look right at home next to all your
devices with its real brushed aluminum and sleek lines, regardless if
you're working on a Windows 8 PC, Apple iPad® or Android smartphone.
To increase the keyboard's usability in low-light conditions or at
night, auto-adjusting illumination ensures the laser-etched key
characters are always bright and easy to read. The keyboard also uses
proximity detection to turn on the lighting when your hands approach it,
and automatically dims or brightens, depending on the amount of light in
the room.
Further addressing your need for convenience and productivity, this
keyboard is USB rechargeable with 10 days of battery life on a full
charge (based on varying user and computing conditions). Thanks to the
easy-to-use USB cable, you can even use your keyboard while it's
recharging. The keyboard also features a convenient On/Off switch, and
its battery-indicator light helps you manage power so you know when it's
time to recharge. The Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810 has
specific keys to help you easily navigate the new Windows 8 operating
system, expected to be available later this month. For example, its
Windows 8 Start key provides a quick and easy way to get back to your
Start Screen, while the App Switching function key allows you to quickly
switch among your open apps.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810 is expected to be
available in the U.S. and Europe in October and November 2012
respectively, for a suggested retail price of $99.99. For more
