Logitech touchpads and mice to control Windows 8
Just a week after we talked about the new peripherals that will accompany Windows 8 at its release, Logitech has confirmed the news that we had and has introduced three new devices. All three, two mice with classic shapes and a multi-touch touchpad, designed to work with the new operating system and take advantage of its new forms of control.
Among the three peripherals, the Logitech Wireless Rechargeable Touchpad T650 stands out Under such a long name we find a multi-touch touchpad for our desktops similar to the Magic Trackpad that has been popularized by Apple.It has a glass touch surface that promises a pleasant touch and that allows us to control our Windows 8 through a series of gestures Supports up to thirty of them that can also be customized and of which you can see a good example in the video below.
As its name suggests, this is a wireless touchpad that has a rechargeable battery via USB. Those of Logitech ensure that the duration of each charge extends up to a whole month. The Touchpad T650 is available for pre-order from the Logitech online store at a price of €79.99
The rest of the offer is completed by two mice with tactile capabilities but with important differences. The Touch Mouse T620 dispenses with buttons and features touch pad across the top This extends to the edges, so that it can support more gestures taking advantage of its full extension.The mouse is wireless and promises up to six months of battery life by using two AA batteries. It is already available for reservation at the price of €69.99
The third in contention is the Zone Touch Mouse T400 In this case we have a typical mouse with the exception of its middle button, which replaces the scroll wheel with a touch zone prepared for some of the gestures required with those to handle Windows 8. It also has a rubbery touch side cover available in various colors that promises to be pleasant in daily use. Like the rest, the mouse is wireless and has a battery life of up to 18 months. The most accessible of the three peripherals stays at 49.99 € and can be reserved online like the rest.
