Logitech Introduces "Wave" Keyboard Design

Logitech unveiled its new groundbreaking keyboard design that veers away from the traditional "straight" keyboard.
The new "wave" design allows users to comfortably use their keyboards without having to change the way they type. The two new keyboards styles released are the Logitech Wave Keyboard and the Cordless Desktop Wave, featuring the Logitech Comfort Wave Design.
The aspects of the new keyboards that set it apart from the rest are the three new features. They each sport a wave key-frame design, a U-shaped constant curve, and a cushioned, contoured palm rest. According to Logitech, users will not have to retrain their hand for typing, unlike other contour keyboards on the market.
“With the increased awareness and demand for comfort in our day-to-day lives, Logitech’s new products offer a timely solution,” said Denis Pavillard, vice president of product marketing for Logitech’s keyboards and desktops. “According to a study at Harvard, for Logitech, the average person types approximately 2 million keystrokes every year. That’s equal to 200 hours of typing. The Logitech Wave Comfort Design will delight people by offering the perfect balance of comfort and usability.”
The new keyboards also offer larger, easy to see and use hotkeys which can be mapped to launch certain desktop items. Also, the new accessory features a type-speed indicator and an error-rate tracker that calculates the number of time a user hits the backspace key.
The Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave keyboard-and-mouse is to be expected to be available beginning in late August for $89.99. The corded model will be released at the beginning of October for $49.99.
