  Logitech Keyboard Makes Waves

By Mendelson Tiu | Thursday | 06/09/2007

Logitech aims to change the way a user types with its new Cordless Desktop Wave Laser – a keyboard that sports a design to enhance comfort without requiring people to change the way they type.

According to Logitech, the Desktop Wave Laser sports an innovative wave key-frame design, a U-shaped constant curve and a cushioned contoured palm rest. In comparison to ergonomic keyboards, people can use a Wave keyboard immediately as there is no learning curve need.

Logitech's Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand, Marco Manera said, "According to a study at Harvard, for Logitech, the average person types approximately 2 million keystrokes every year. That's equal to 200 hours of typing. The Comfort Wave Design guides hands and cradles fingers to create a naturally comfortable, ergonomically sound typing experience."

Product features are as follows:

Naturally Cradling People's Fingers
As fingers naturally vary in length, the new Comfort Wave Design cradles them with a gradual wave-shaped contour regardless of size. The Wave keyboard 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.

A Constant Curve
The U-shaped constant curve, compared to other curved keyboards, features consistently sized keys that let people type with confidence and comfort. The subtle 5-degree curve allows people's hands to open up and take a natural position instead of forcing the wrists to bend. Each key is the same size and the same distance from one another, the learning curve is minimal; people can start using the keyboard right away. The space bar, the most frequently hit key, also incorporates the wave and curve design and its increased size makes it easy to hit.
