Logitech K830 Keyboard With Illuminated Keys Announced

Logitech K830 Keyboard With Illuminated Keys AnnouncedWe all use our computers in a variety of different settings. Some of us like using our computers in brightly lit rooms, while some pretty dimly lit rooms, but either way it comes down to personal preference in the end. Now if you’re the type that uses computers in dimly lit rooms, you might be interested to learn that Logitech has recently announced its Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard K830.

The keyboard while perfectly functional in any situation, has been designed with the living room in mind, particular those who have HTPCs setup and use it to watch movies or stream videos onto the television. This is thanks to the fact that the keyboard itself is wireless meaning that you will be able to sit back on your couch and use it to type in URLs, navigate websites, without being tethered to the CPU.

The K830 is actually an upgrade over the K400 which is its cheaper counterpart. The main difference is that not only does the K830 come with backlit keys, but will also feature a light sensor that will be able to adjust the lighting on the keyboard depending on how much light is available in the room.

There is even an integrated trackpad that allows you to use it to navigate websites as a mouse so that you won’t need to attach another wireless mouse which not be very convenient if you’re planning on surfing from your couch in the living room. The Logitech K830 will be released in the US and Europe later this month where it will be priced at $99.99.

Logitech X100 Bluetooth Speaker Adds a Splash of Color to Your Tunes

Logitech has rolled out a new portable wireless speaker with a playful design. The X100 speaker is able to connect to your smartphone or other device wirelessly using Bluetooth. While it’s small enough to fit in the palm of you hand, Logitech says it “delivers rocking sound” which I have to assume means it’s loud for its size.

The X100 is offered in five color including black, teal, blue, purple, and navy. At least that is what I would call those colors. Power comes from an internal rechargeable battery.

    logitech-harmony-smart-kbThe folks over at Logitech has done it again, announcing yet another keyboard for those who want to improve their workflow efficiency process. The Logitech Harmony Smart Keyboard would be able to delivers the power of Harmony universal remotes, albeit coming in a keyboard form factor, where it will also be accompanied by a touchpad to boot, making it a specially designed peripheral for couch potatoes who spend more time in the living room compared to any other room in the home.

    After all, more and more folks have moved on to streaming content in the living room, regardless of whether it is from their computer, streaming-media device like the Apple TV, Roku or game console like the Xbox One and Sony PS3. These devices tend to deliver unlimited entertainment options, but their corresponding remote controls do have an issue when it comes to text entry that is more often than not compulsory when it comes to performing a search for selections.

    With the Logitech Harmony Smart Keyboard, searching for programs become fast and easy, where its integrated touchpad would make navigating through convoluted menu systems a cinch, not to mention making it a most natural manner of surfing the Web, as though one were sitting in front of the PC itself.

    This particular keyboard will integrate buttons like “Guide,” “Pause,” “Play,” and Channel up or Down, in addition to game console navigation buttons. Apart from that, it will also feature the Harmony Hub, which will transform signals from the keyboard or your smartphone via the Harmony App into commands that your entertainment devices are able to figure out. This makes it play nice with over 225,000 home-entertainment devices and more than 5,000 brands – and counting. Hence, once you have the Logitech Harmony Smart Keyboard within vicinity of the living room, there should not be any more need for extra remotes.
