Logitech's Wave keyboard gets reviewed
ExtremeTech, known for getting down to the nitty gritty, has just given the Logitech Wave a thorough review -- and they kind of like what they see. The comfort-minded keyboard with the cheapo price point might be what you need, but only if your requirements for "ergonomics" aren't too serious. The Wave's keys are arranged in a U-shape design, and the heights of individual letters are higher or lower in an attempt to match hand placement (taller for shorter fingers and vice versa), but that's about it. So while the Vista-approved input device gets decent marks from ET on feel ("soft and cushy" "high-end"), they say the actual comfort factor isn't all that noticeable. Logitech also offers a Desktop bundle which includes the LX8, an ambidextrous mouse that ExtremeTech says is good in most respects, but can't match the feel of a right- or left-hand specific mouse.

Logitech unveils curvalicious Wave keyboard, Cordless Desktop
Logitech's certainly been on a hot streak of late, and the firm's latest duo of input peripherals prove that the heat is still on full blast. The Cordless Desktop Wave and Wave keyboard both feature an innovative "wave key-frame design, a U-shaped constant curve, and a cushioned, contoured palm rest" in order to elevate your level of comfort whilst banging out those month-end reports. Moreover, the units are compatible with both Windows and OS X, and sport an array of programmable hot keys to launch those heavily use applications with a single button press. The Cordless Desktop Wave keyboard / laser mouse combo is expected to be available worldwide late next month for $89.99, while the corded Wave keyboard will be out on its lonesome for $49.99 this October.

Logitech gets Vista-fancy with Cordless Desktop Wave
Just when you think you've witnessed every possible keyboard / mouse permutation from the likes of Microsoft and Logitech, here comes the latter with a spankin' new Vista-friendly setup, the Cordless Desktop Wave. Logitech hasn't officially announced the combo yet, but we're fairly sure our pals at the FCC, who spilled the beans on this one, wouldn't be pulling our leg. In addition to the usual media playback controls, the wireless keyboard includes dedicated buttons for Vista Gadgets, Photo Gallery, Windows Media Player, Media Center and Flip3D. The mouse also has the capability of activating Flip3D by clicking the scroll wheel. Not exactly earth shattering, but the gently curved Wave keyboard and comfortable-looking laser mouse should both do their thing just fine. Naturally no word on price or release date, but we'll let you know when such information turns up.[Via TG Daily]
