14 DAY TRIAL // Logitech unveiled the world?s first mouse to receive and process wireless communication from the PC. The Logitech MX 610 Laser Cordless Mouse?s 2.4 GHz digital cordless technology and sophisticated on-board microprocessor give the mouse this smart capability.
Other cordless mice can only send information in one direction: to the computer. Because Logitech?s newest mouse is capable of two-way communication with the computer, the mouse offers new conveniences to the user.
It can tell people when their mouse battery is low, and notify them when they receive an important e-mail or instant message. The Logitech MX610 Laser Cordless Mouse knows when the computer is on or off - and it can save power by turning itself off when the PC is dormant.
The Logitech MX610 Laser Cordless Mouse has an expected battery life of up to three months with regular use, a significant accomplishment considering its powerful Logitech MX Laser engine.
The mouse achieves this long battery life by mimicking the power status of the computer to which it is connected. As it sends and receives wireless signals, the mouse can sense when the PC has gone into sleep mode or is shut down, and the mouse powers down accordingly. Also, when the mouse battery level is low - less than 10 percent of full charge - an indicator light on the mouse illuminates. Logitech has found that many cordless mouse owners have thought their cordless mouse was broken when it ran out of battery power. They simply forgot that the mouse used batteries. The indicator light and advanced power system help solve this problem.
The Logitech MX610 Laser Cordless Mouse includes a USB micro-receiver that connects instantly with the mouse when it is plugged into a desktop or a notebook PC. As the mouse and wireless receiver send information back and forth, the mouse periodically may sense a wireless interruption or interference. In a matter of moments, the mouse seamlessly shifts the wireless channel until it finds one that is interference-free. The micro-receiver eliminates clutter created by larger corded receivers.
Sculpted for the right hand, the Logitech MX610 Laser Cordless Mouse delivers a comfortable fit to go along with its versatile and stylish design. The mouse features 10 buttons, including volume up, down and mute buttons for controlling music on the PC.
The reset button is noticeably absent, because once the receiver is plugged in, the mouse and receiver are perpetually connected.
The mouse includes Logitech?s Tilt Wheel Plus Zoom scroll wheel, which allows people to effortlessly scroll left, right, up and down, and zoom in and out of images, Web pages and open documents. The mouse?s key plate is coated with a brilliant chrome finish, while a cool black display panel and matte black soft-touch grips help to create a sleek, modern styling that blends with the d?cor of today?s sophisticated flat-screen monitors.
The Logitech MX610 Laser Cordless Mouse will be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in October. The mouse has a suggested retail price of $59.99 in the U.S.
