Logitech Introduces Wireless Wave Keyboard

by , 8:35 AM EDT, July 26th, 2007

Logitech introduced its new ergonomic Wave keyboard on Thursday. The company claims the Wave allows users to hold their hands in a more natural position while typing without having to relearn how to use a keyboard.


Logitech's Wave Keyboard

The Wave positions the keys in a U-shape, and varies the key height to accommodate finger lengths -- keys near shorter fingers sit higher, like A and Q; and keys near longer fingers, like K and D, are lower. The keyboard also includes a built-in padded wrist pad, and programmable hot keys.

The Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave should be available in late August. It will include a cordless laser mouse, and will be priced at US$89.99. The corded USB Wave Keyboard will be available in October for $49.99.

It looks great, but all the images have the Windows command-key layout. I wonder if there will be a version with Macintosh command keys on it. (?)

After years of arguably solid support, followed by a few years of waning support for the Mac OS, Logitech starts to have a clue again.
I've had a key/mouse combo of theirs for over 5 years. When I searched for a replacement, they didn't offer anything for Macs except for one specialty keyboard, which wasn't suitable. (Actually, I'd love Bluetooth, but that's another story.) I just don't understand why they wouldn't want to write a driver for the Mac OS and open up their market to another X% of the population. I can't imagine it would take that much to write drivers for all of their keyboards and mice.
The reason I was looking for a replacement was for my dual boot MacPro. I wanted 100% support in both environments (WinXP and MacOS). This offering looks like what I was looking for. The ergo design makes it even more attractive.

If you look at where the Apple and Option keys should be, you will see the subscript for the apple commands.


Check again. There are no such subscripts on the keyboard. Click on the Image Gallery to see larger pictures.

I hope the have a true Mac version as well. It's certainly a handsome keyboard. I love my Logitech S530, but I am sick of white.

BTW, was that your penultimate post gslusher?

If 'twere, this would be my last post, but (I hope!) it won't be, ergo, that wasn't my penultimate post. I probably won't know which post will be my penultimate.
