An Alternative to Touchpads

Logitech’s M570 and other devices set to deliver a different level of comfort and control

KUALA LUMPUR — 20 September 2011 —Logitech has unveiled a series of devices that would suit those looking for an alternative to their touchpads. The M570, N600 and MK220 are all that would interest those that wouldn’t mind an added touch to their PC or laptop.


For tracking purposes
Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 is delivering a different level of comfort and control. If you’re searching for an alternative to touchpads or traditional mice, the Wireless Trackball M570 is uniquely designed for all-day comfort and features the leave-in Logitech® Unifying receiver.

For those who haven’t tried a trackball, one of the many benefits is that it stays put – you don’t have to move your arm to move your cursor. As a result, it’s a great space saver if you have a small or cluttered desk and, unlike a traditional mouse, you can keep your arm stationary.

Plus, the sculpted shape supports your hand comfortably all day long.

The Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 also delivers precise cursor control wherever you want so hard tables, comfy sofas and lumpy beds are all no problem. The laser tracking sensor uses the ball, rather than a surface, to guide movement – so you can use it almost anywhere.

Logitech’s newest trackball also has a convenient scroll wheel and easy-to-reach Back/Forward buttons that make computing simple, whether you’re surfing the Web with your laptop or desktop computer, or watching shows on your home-theatre PC.
For your convenience, the Wireless Trackball M570 uses the tiny Logitech® Unifying wireless receiver. It stays in your laptop, so there’s no need to unplug it when you move around, and the advanced 2.4 GHz wireless means a robust connection with no dropouts from up to 30 feet away.

Plus, you can easily add a compatible keyboard, number pad or additional mouse to the same receiver so you don’t fill up all your USB ports. To reduce the hassle of changing batteries, you can go for up to 18 months without replacing the included AA battery – and the convenient battery indicator ensures that you’ll never be caught off guard. (Battery life may vary based on user and computing conditions.)

For your scrolling needs
So you can browse comfortably right from your lap Logitech has unveiled the Logitech Touch Lapdesk N600, featuring a large touchpad that makes it easier than ever to point, scroll and swipe your way through the Web. The Logitech Touch Lapdesk N600 features a 5-inch, retractable touchpad with multi-touch navigation.
You can move the pointer with one finger, scroll using two, and swipe through pages or pictures with three. The multi-layer, heat-shielding design of the lapdesk protects you from laptop heat so you can browse in cool comfort, and the anti-slip surface helps keep your laptop in place. To get started, you just plug the tiny Logitech Unifying receiver into the USB port and start navigating. For your convenience, Logitech’s newest lapdesk offers up to six months of battery life.

Smaller but longer
The MK 220 keyboard is about 36% smaller than standard keyboards but still has all the standard keys—so doing the things you love is as easy as ever. So you can work or play in more places—like your comfy couch—the wireless connection virtually eliminates delays, dropouts and interference and gives you a range of up to 10 meters (33 feet). It helps protect your information by encrypting data transfer between the keyboard and receiver with one of the highest levels of data encryption available. A 24-month keyboard and 5-month mouse battery life mean you can go for months without the hassle of changing batteries. The keyboard’s minimalist design not only blends in with your décor—it serves a purpose. No extra space between the keys makes it compact as well as sleek.
Setup couldn’t be easier—you simply plug the wireless receiver into a USB port on your computer and start tweeting, blogging and IMing right away without software. The keys barely make a sound, so you can hear the song you’re listening to—instead of the sound of typing.
