Mouse galore from Logitech

MANILA, Philippines - Logitech recently launched its Christmas special to make shopping for essential peripherals easier during the holidays.

Until Dec. 31, Logitech is also giving free a S150 digital USB speaker headset for every purchase of Logitech wireless mouse M325 or wireless combo MK220, or free Logitech USB headset H390 for every purchase of Logitech anywhere mouse M905 or wireless solar keyboard K750.

It will also give away Logitech stereo Z110 for every purchase of Logitech couch mouse M515 and Logitech ultra flat keyboard Dark Shine for every purchase of Logitech wireless mouse M505.

Founded 30 years ago in Switzerland, Logitech is the world’s leading provider of personal peripherals. This Christmas, the company will only be too happy to assist tech shoppers buy what they want.

“We always seek to enhance our customers’ shopping experience,” said Prasenjit Sarkar, South Asia director of Logitech. “By having a Christmas promotion, we are able to give our customers a chance to own Logitech peripherals.”

Logitech wireless mouse M325

The Logitech wireless mouse M325 features a precision scroll wheel with up to four times as many ratchets as a standard scroll wheel for smoother scrolling.

Based on the contoured shape of the best-selling Logitech wireless mouse M305, the M325 helps make everything users love to do online even better.

“Our newest mouse is all about making surfing the Web easier,” said Sarkar. “With our newest scroll wheel design, we’ve brought another new innovation to market — one that leverages a micro-ratchet — to make scrolling your Facebook shopping on Amazon or reading a New York Times article easier.”

Most standard mice have a scroll wheel with 18 to 24 ratchets. Each ratchet corresponds to about one line of scrolling. When you quickly scroll down a page, skipping from line to line, moving from one ratchet to another, the on-screen motion will appear choppy. 

You can reduce that choppiness by moving in smaller increments.

The M325’s precision scroll wheel contains 72 tiny, rugged ratchets. As a result, the ratchets are small enough so the wheel spins smoothly. And users will have the precise control they need for websites, spreadsheets, slideshows and other presentations.

A true wheel for the Web, the precision scroll wheel not only makes surfing smoother; when tilted to the right or left, it also moves you backward or forward from one webpage to another.

The Logitech wireless mouse M325 also includes Logitech Advanced Optical Tracking, so users can forget about their laptop touchpad. Instead, they enjoy precise clicking and pointing while navigating all their favorite websites.

The Wireless Mouse M325 works with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, as well as Mac OS X 10.5 or later and Linux kernel 2.6.

Logitech couch mouse M515

Logitech couch mouse M515 delivers easy navigation from soft surfaces like the couch, bed or a pillow. It features a sealed bottom case that makes gliding on fabric easy and worry free, and a hand-detection sensor so the mouse is only active when the user wants it to be. 

With its hand-detection sensor, the Logitech couch mouse M515 is active only when the user is gripping it — the mouse is only active when he wants it to be, and it stays asleep when he doesn’t.

A sealed bottom — so fabric fuzz won’t collect in the sensor opening — gives the user cursor control no matter what surface he is using your mouse on. And the easy-gliding base makes mousing around on couches (and blankets, cushions, clothing, carpets, even desks) easy.

Also featuring effortless Logitech Hyper-Fast Scrolling, the M515 mouse lets users coast smoothly through long blogs or social networking feeds. And they can switch to click-to-click mode when they need more control. 

Logitech’s newest mouse also offers up to two years of battery life, helping users save time and money by eliminating the need to change batteries frequently.

And users will enjoy plug-and-forget wireless connectivity, thanks to the tiny Logitech Unifying receiver. The receiver stays in the laptop so it’s less likely to be lost, and gives them a reliable connection with virtually no delays or dropouts. Plus, they can easily add other Unifying-compatible mice and keyboards to the same receiver.  

Logitech anywhere mouse M905

With Logitech Darkfield Laser Tracking, users can utilize their mouse virtually anywhere they want — including clear glass and high-gloss surfaces. This new technology is available in the Logitech anywhere mouse M905, giving them the option of a full-size mouse or a more compact, notebook mouse.

Logitech research showed that 40 percent of people have a glass surface in their home. This, coupled with the increase in the popularity of laptop computers, means that people are moving around and coming into contact with a multitude of surfaces — like granite and lacquered wood — that challenge the tracking capabilities of standard mice.

A pioneer in the development of the computer mouse in the 1980s, Logitech has enthusiastically driven nearly every major innovation in mouse technology - persistently refining this ubiquitous interface between people and their digital experiences.

From laser tracking to hyper-fast scrolling to the Plug-and-Forget Nano-receiver, Logitech has dedicated itself to creating ways to help users get more out of their computing experience. The latest in this line of innovations, Logitech Darkfield opens up new possibilities for when and where they can use your mouse.

Regular laser tracking technology relies on the ability of the mouse’s sensor to detect the textural details of the surface. The more irregularities a surface exhibits, the easier it is for the sensor to identify reference points that it can use to accurately measure motion. However, because high-gloss surfaces such as glass are almost completely flat, there are not enough details for a typical laser mouse’s sensor to detect.

To track on glass (that’s at least 4-mm thick), Logitech Darkfield uses dark field microscopy to detect microscopic particles and micro-scratches on these surfaces, rather than tracking the surface itself. Similar to the way in which the eye sees the clear night sky, the mouse’s sensor sees the clean areas of glass as a dark background with bright dots — the dust. Then, the sensor interprets the movement of these dots to track exactly where a user moved the mouse.

With the Logitech wireless mouse M505 users get the just-right combination of form and features to help them get more done, more comfortably, in more places.

There’s more battery life so users can stay productive. The laser sensor lets them use it on more surfaces. There’s a more convenient wireless receiver that they can plug and forget — and pair with their other favorite peripherals. And there’s the ergonomically designed shape and soft rubber grip for more comfort.

Logitech wireless mouse M505 gives 15 months of battery life, virtually eliminating the hassle of changing batteries as well as the hassle, expense, and waste that go with it.

The On/Off switch saves power. And a battery-indicator light eliminates surprises. It also has laser tracking delivers smooth, responsive, precise cursor control on surfaces that cause problems for optical mice, such as polished or wood-grain tables. 

And the Logitech Unifying receiver stays in the notebook. There’s no need to unplug it when a user moves around, so the keyboard is always connected. Plus, he can easily add a compatible wireless keyboard or number pad, or even another mouse — without the hassle of multiple USB receivers.

Its ergonomically designed shape with soft rubber grip conforms to the hand to be naturally comfortable, yet is small enough to easily take along.

It has Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, giving users the reliability of a cord plus cordless convenience and freedom — fast data transmission, virtually no delays or dropouts, and 128-bit AES encryption.
