Logitech MX 1100 Mouse Makes Cordless Wave Desktop Reach Pro Level

Logitech is updating one of its most popular mouse and keyboard sets, the Wave Cordless Desktop with a slightly touched up Wave wireless keyboard—new paint and a longer, ridiculous three-year battery life—and a whole new mouse, the MX1100, which is a mutant hybrid of the oooold MX1000 and the more recent Revolution mice.

Logitech Buys Ultimate Ears for $34 Million

Logitech has just announce its purchase of high-end headphone maker Ultimate Ears for a cool $34 million. Ultimate Ears specializes in in-ear headphones with prices ranging from the cheap to the insane ($900 for custom headphones molded to the listener's ears). It appears that Ultimate Ears will retain its branding, as on the website the graphics all say "Ultimate Ears, a Logitech Company." Logitech's only headphones before the acquisition were Bluetooth headsets. We'll see what UE does with Logitech's sizable marketing and distribution resources. [Crave]

Logitech's V550 Nano Wireless Mouse Docks With Your Laptop's Top

Many laptop users prefer mice instead of trackpads. The promise of the laptop is untethered portability, and in that spirit Logitech has a new wireless mouse that helps keep your busy hands free, attaching to a dock mounted on your laptop when not in use so you can more easily take it from place to place. The mouse comes with a small dongle for your USB port, that means you don't have to wrap twelve inches of plastic around your wrist. Even if this doesn't solve all your problems it will solve the lack of pockets you must have. [Logitech]

Logitech Makes Wireless DiNovo Edge Keyboard for Macs Too

Logitech's diNovo edge keyboard, originally billed as "the most advanced keyboard in the world" has only been available in Windows versions, but today Logitech are releasing a version for Macs. Just like the original it's got multimedia keys, "PerfectStroke" keys and a touchpad-like touchdisc, but this time it's also got Mac-specific keys for launching apps like Mail and Safari. Plus it's got a power button, so you can switch off your Mac by remote. It connects through Bluetooth, comes with a charger base/stand and will cost you a jot under $160. Press release below. More »

Logitech Making Premium Guitar Hero Instruments

Logitech's just partnered up with Activision to release some official "premium" instruments for the upcoming Guitar Hero World Tour game. There aren't a whole lot of details in the release, but Logitech will provide a guitar for each of the four platforms (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2) that the game's coming out for. Why are we interested? Because Logitech actually has been known to do some pretty good peripherals, and their racing wheels are always quality. Since there is no photo of the guitar to go along with this release, well, I just had to make my own. Enjoy. [Kotaku]

Logitech Announces Wireless Keyboard for the Wii

If you use your Wii to surf the web because you really miss your WebTV and want to relive the frustrations of using the internet on your television, this new Logitech Cordless Keyboard for Wii was designed with you in mind. It broadcasts using 2.4 GHz wireless technology and works from up to 30 feet away. Designed with the Wii in mind, it comes with dedicated buttons for Zoom In/Out, Forward/Back, Quit and OK. If it was really designed with the Wii in mind, you'd be able to move forward and back by swinging the entire keyboard around, but alas, that feature isn't included. No word on a release date, but it'll set you back $50 when it drops. [Product Page via CrunchGear]

Logitech Rolls Out Driving Force Wireless Gaming Wheel for Playstation

It's missing the built-in shifter and faux-carbon of the Driving Force GT, but it does offer force feedback and, of course, the ability to play Gran Turismo unencumbered by realism-killing wires—a first for Logitech. It'll work with both PS2 and PS3 for $100. [Product Page]

Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro Webcam For Macs, Like iSight but Better

Remember the old Apple iSight: auto-focus, built to last, clip-on and generally fantastic? Well, Logitech is trying to take us back to the days when you snapped a cam onto your machine to do your video-calling, and has released the QuickCam Vision Pro Webcam for Macs. It's got Carl Zeiss optics, a voice-coil motor for smooth auto-focus, a 2-megapixel sensor and can record video in 720p resolution. Sure it's not quite as sleek as the old iSight and you can't use it for iChat video effects, but it seems a tad better than Apple's built-in cams. Available July for $129.99. Press release below.

Dealzmodo: Logitech Harmony 1000 Universal Remote For $249 (50% Off)

Still undecided about what to get for Father's Day? It doesn't look like you would get the Logitech Harmony 1000 shipped in time, but with a beautiful 3.5-inch touchscreen that can be used to control just about everything in your home, I'm sure he won't mind you being a little late. And the $249 price tag is hard to beat. [Amazon]

Logitech Adds to Pure-Fi Speaker Range With Bluetooth Mobile Version

Logitech's Pure-Fi Mobile will apparently "transform your low-fidelity mobile-phone audio into high-fidelity, stereophonic sound." You leave your cellphone in your pocket while streaming music over Bluetooth to the speaker module, using A2DP protocol for higher-fidelity sound. With four speakers it should be able to pump out an appreciable volume, and it also has dual mics (one for ambient cancellation, one voice) so works as a speakerphone too. There's also a standard line-in jack for lower-tech connectivity and its rechargeable batteries will give 12 hours of tunes, with USB power as backup if that's not enough. Available June for $149.99. Full press release below. More »

3DConnexion's 3D SpaceNavigator Mouse For Laptops

Big week for 3DConnexion, a Logitech company, as they update their twisting/rotating desktop SpaceNavigator mouse for laptops. We're not sure what differentiates this laptop version from the desktop version (which also works with Second Life), but it's got a "new cap design" and is smaller than the desktop version. It also looks quite nice in a knob sort of way. [BusinessWire]

SpaceNavigator 3D Mouse Gives Full Range of Motion to Second Life Avatars

3Dconnexion's SpaceNavigator, a rubber-capped multi-axis metal dial meant mainly for 3D design, has been put to even better use as a pan-dimensional controller for Second Life. The video says it all: watch as Beast, one of the "Lindens" who works at Second Life's founder company, demos movement of his avatar on both land and in the air, and even use SpaceNavigator side by side with a mouse. It's perhaps even cooler in build mode, where you can twist, push, pull and tilt—basically have free range of motion—when doing heavy construction. The SpaceNavigator is already available for $60, and works with Google Earth, Adobe Photoshop and a bunch of CAD and GIS apps. It will be available in Second Life at release 1.20. More detailed info below. More »

CNet Gives Logitech Squeezebox Duet the Ol' Editor's Choice Stamp

Logitech has been dying to get into wireless whole-house audio like Sonos and not a whole lot of others. Now that CNet has favorably reviewed the $400 Squeezebox Duet we told you about at CES, it may well have a shot. In living video, our buddy John Falcone explains the Wi-Fi-powered system, and notes that, aside from DRM protected content, the Squeezebox Duet gets at "any music, anywhere" including stuff from Rhapsody, Slacker, and Pandora, plus internet radio and podcasts.

Logitech Wireless Stereo Headset is an Uncommon But Useful PC Accessory

Logitech's ClearChat Wireless PC headset might seem unremarkable, but a quick scan of Amazon shows there aren't really any non-bluetooth wireless stereo headsets on the market. There are plenty of wireless headphones without mics, one speaker 2.4 GHz wireless headsets and corded stereo headsets. But no product has combined the three ideas like the ClearChat new product. and Logitech claims the 2.4 GHz Wireless device is designed with VoIP users in mind, but we all really know why this is great: MMO fanboys can now head to the bathroom and drain a shotgunned gallon of Mountain Dew without abandoning their clan of orcs, elves and mages. The ClearChat PC Wireless Headset will go on sale in May for $100. More »

Logitech's Driving Force GT Wheel For Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Has Force Feedback, Shifter

Logitech's no stranger to racing wheels, but their latest PlayStation 3 wheel looks even fancier than its predecessors. There's a 900 degree lock-to-lock turn, which means you can maneuver it much like an actual wheel on your Toyota Corolla when sledding about the tracks of Nurburgring. There's also a horn, shifter, the standard PS3 controller buttons and measures 11-inches in diameter. Best of all, it's even backward compatible with Gran Turismo 3 and 4 on the PS2 so you won't have to wait until April for the PS3 GT5 Prologue. [Logitech via Crunchgear]

Logitech Cordless Bluetooth Desktop MX5500 Arrives (Again)

We teased you with this last fall, but now the folks at Logitech say that this $170 Bluetooth 2.0 desktop is officially official and hitting stores late this month, as you can see from the press release after the jump. Refresher course:
• Can be used as Bluetooth hub but isn't exactly dongle free, since it comes pre-paired with its own "mini-receiver"
• Dynamic LCD screen shows time and date, calc, temp, incoming e-mails, media metadata and more
• One-touch access to Vista features
• MX Revolution laser mouse included
