Logitech Introduces New Cross-Platform Keyboard with Easy-Switch Bluetooth Technology

Logitech has expanded its keyboard lineup with the Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810. Compatible with Windows, iOS and Android devices, and with a layout designed for Windows 8, this rechargeable keyboard uses Logitech’s easy-switch Bluetooth technology to pair with up to three devices simultaneously, letting you easily switch between devices and even platforms. Your keyboard can be connected to your PC, tablet and smartphone and you can easily switch among them with the push of a button.

Other ‘key’ features include:
• Stylish design: The keyboard is thin with a real brushed-aluminum finish and low profile keys that are made to complement your PC, tablet or smartphone.
• Illumination: The keyboard’s backlit keys feature sharp illumination that automatically adjusts to any light in the room.
• Rechargeable: It recharges through USB and can charge even while you’re using it. A single charge gives you 10 days of power and it has an On/Off switch to save power.

“It’s increasingly common for people to use more than one device over the course of the day, and we saw an opportunity to help ease the transition among screens with the Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard,” says Mike Culver, vice president of brand development for consumer computing platforms at Logitech. “Using Logitech’s heritage of high quality and reliability, this keyboard combines the functionality and design people expect with simultaneous multi-device pairing, which they will appreciate.”

This thin keyboard is designed to look at home next to all your devices with its real brushed aluminum and sleek lines, regardless if you re working on a Windows 8 PC, Apple iPad or Android smartphone.

To increase the keyboard’s usability in low-light conditions or at night, auto-adjusting illumination ensures the laser-etched key characters are always bright and easy to read. The keyboard also uses proximity detection to turn on the lighting when your hands approach it, and automatically dims or brightens, depending on the amount of light in the room.

This keyboard is USB rechargeable with 10 days of battery life on a full charge (based on varying user and computing conditions). Thanks to the easy-to-use USB cable, you can even use your keyboard while it s recharging. The keyboard also features an On/Off switch, and its battery-indicator light helps you manage power so you know when it’s time to recharge. The Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810 has specific keys to help you easily navigate the new Windows 8 operating system, expected to be available later this month. For example, its Windows 8 Start key provides a quick and easy way to get back to your Start Screen, while the App Switching function key allows you to quickly switch among your open apps.

The Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810 is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in October and November 2012 respectively, for a suggested retail price of $99.99. For more information, visit:
