Wobbly keyboard for World Wide Wibbling

Mmmm... melty

OUR FAVOURTIE PERIPHERAL company has just added another keyboard to its range, this time with the added bonus of the appearing to have been left in the sun for rather a long ime.

The cordless Ware Pro is an update to the wave, launched late last year also with the same overheated appearance. It’s an ideal choice for hot environments, so you can’t really tell if the keyboard’s about to go up in flames or it’s just made that way.

It’s been reworked with the same ergonomic philosophy of before, although they’ve dropped the e-word and thrown in comfort instead. Obviously after a decade or so of trying to convince the world that ergonomically sound environments are the new black, everyone has given up... and rightly so too.

What gives it the look of a tarmac road on a summer’s day is the u-shaped keyboard wave frame that’s apparently designed to cradle your hand and fingers for typing. As this still keeps with the standard keyboard layout, it’s been said to eliminate the learning curve associated with e-word keyboards.

Unlike the Vole's Natural 7000 which we’ve used before and almost destroyed in a microwave as it was so cumbersome to use.

Logitech has also bundled in the MX1100 cordless mouse, once again designed for comfort of use and just to round off the package.

The Logitech cordless desktop wave pro should be shipping in the States at the start of October, Europe beginning of November with only the dollar pricing so far of $129.99. µ

Horrid software

*spits* You can only like Logitech hardware if you've never had to depend on their software. Their forums are filled with people who spend hundreds on multiple button, super-hyped, feature filled rodents and end up with entry level two button affairs because the software simply doesn't work.
