New Logitech Illuminated Keyboard Makes Typing Easy - Night or Day

Logitech Also Introduces Logitech diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks,
Logitech Cordless Desktop S520
FREMONT, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
To help you find the keyboard that best matches your needs - and
style - Logitech (SWX:LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI) today introduced three new
keyboards, including the Logitech(R) Illuminated Keyboard, which
offers an optimized backlight experience, Logitech PerfectStroke(TM)
key system and Logitech's thinnest design ever. Also unveiled today,
the Logitech(R) diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks is designed for laptop
owners who use a notebook mouse to improve comfort and need a keyboard
to complete their setup, while the Logitech(R) Cordless Desktop(TM)
S520 offers a keyboard-and-mouse combination that matches a wide
variety of computer setups.

"Style - specifically the ability to choose the style that fits
one's tastes - is increasingly driving purchase decisions," said Denis
Pavillard, vice president of product marketing for Logitech keyboards
and desktops. "Our three newest keyboards address this trend, as well
as various usage scenarios, from working in low light to being more
comfortable when working on a laptop."

Logitech Illuminated Keyboard

The Logitech Illuminated Keyboard makes typing easy - even in the
dark. To optimize existing backlight technology, Logitech combined
microlens reflectors, a multilayer painting process and laser etching
- creating a backlight experience that is brighter, sharper and easier
to read. Whether you're typing an e-mail or chatting with a friend,
the adjustable backlight gives you just the right amount of light.

With its transparent frame, the ultra-thin Illuminated Keyboard
(.37 inches or 9.3 mm from base to frame) adds an elegant touch to any
desk. Balancing form and function, the keyboard offers a full-size key
layout (including a number pad), soft-touch palm rest and a full row
of F-keys, as well as media- and volume-control keys for instant
command of your entertainment.

PerfectStroke Key System

The Logitech Illuminated Keyboard and the diNovo Keyboard for
Notebooks feature the Logitech PerfectStroke key system, which
provides a typing experience that's comfortable, fluid and silent.
PerfectStroke is designed to create longer key travel - 3.2 mm
compared to 2.2 mm - than that of typical notebook keyboards; as a
result, the distance your fingers have to travel to activate a key is
optimized for your comfort. Micro-scissors distribute force evenly
across key surfaces - even if you strike the edge of a key, the key
stroke still feels the same.

Logitech diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks

While notebook computers have become the platform of choice,
people often have to compromise comfort and functionality in exchange
for convenience and portability. Logitech has developed a range of
peripherals, including notebook mice and a line of Alto(TM) notebook
stands, that maximize the benefits and minimize the challenges posed
by the notebook. The first Logitech keyboard designed specifically for
the notebook PC, the diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks offers a full-size
layout, complete with number pad, and the optimized key feel of
PerfectStroke. By using the diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks with the
Logitech(R) Alto(TM) Connect or Logitech(R) Alto(TM) Express notebook
stands, you can transform your setup into a comfortable place to work
and play, as well as protect yourself from laptop heat.

Based on Logitech's distinctive line of diNovo(TM) keyboards, the
impressively thin (.87 inches or 22.10 mm from base to key caps)
diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks has a glossy black finish and
brushed-aluminum palm rest that look great with any notebook PC.

Because you often use your notebook PC in busy wireless
environments, Logitech's advanced 2.4 GHz wireless technology
dramatically reduces interference, effectively eliminating delays and
dropouts. And by optimizing the power management system, Logitech's
improved wireless technology enables an impressive 3-year battery life
for the keyboard.

Logitech Cordless Desktop S520

With its matte-black and grey palette, its rounded edges and
gently curved palm rest, and the straight lines of its full-size
layout - the contemporary, yet compact, S520 keyboard complements a
wide range of computers. Plus, the high-performance cordless laser
mouse delivers exceptional precision and smoother tracking, compared
to optical mice.

The new Logitech keyboard-and-mouse combination provides the
convenience of up to eight months of battery life for the mouse and 15
months for the keyboard. With one-touch access to Word(R), Excel(R)
and your Internet browser - you can instantly get to your favorite
applications. Four additional programmable F-keys let you customize
your keyboard the way you want it and a full set of media and volume
controls make managing your media, photos and music easy (after
installing software available at no additional charge from
www.logitech.com/downloads).
