Logitech combined three elements in its new design to enhance comfort without requiring people to change the way they type: an innovative wave key-frame design, a U-shaped constant curve and a cushioned, contoured palm rest. The Comfort Wave Design guides hands and cradles fingers to create a naturally comfortable typing experience.

The Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave features a cordless keyboard with the Comfort Wave Design and a cordless laser mouse. The ambidextrous laser mouse is designed to complement the striking curved style and comfort of the Wave keyboard. The mouse also features pixel-precise laser tracking and a comfortable, soft rubber grip. Both mouse and keyboard feature a battery indicator light that alerts when battery power is low.

The wave design has been developed keeping in mind the fact that finger length varies, for example, pointer fingers are longer than pinky fingers. So here’s how the wave design works; its gradual wave-shaped contour, cradles the fingers with a shape that supports their actual, varied length.

The keys are highest at the A and Enter keys, which are typically hit by the little fingers. Moving inward toward the pointer fingers, the keys decrease in height until reaching the D and K keys, which are typically hit by the longer middle fingers. The keys move up again in height to accommodate the pointer fingers at the G and H keys. The maximum distance between the keys' peaks and troughs, the lowest and highest keys, is 4 mm. The space bar, the most frequently hit key, also incorporates the wave and curve design - and its increased size makes it easy to hit.

To enhance ease of use, the keyboard offers large and easy access hot keys. Be it Mac or PCs, with the Logitech software installed, you can map hot keys to launch folders, Web pages, or applications, such as photo galleries and music applications. For Windows Vista users, shortcut keys activate Flip 3D as well as Windows Sidebar and gadgets. Logitech developed new Vista gadgets: a status indicator for caps lock, num lock and scroll lock; a typing-speed indicator; and an error-rate tracker that calculates the number of times the user hits the backspace key. For Mac users, the default assignment for the Media Center hot key is Front Row.

This feature-packed Cordless Wave keyboard and mouse is priced at Rs 4,995 with a 3-year warranty. This keyboard and mouse is available with Rashi Peripherals, Logitech distributors in India.
