Logitech has today announced its latest desktop keyboard-and-mouse combination, the Cordless Desktop Wave Pro.

The bundle consists of the existing curvy Logitech Wave Keyboard, and the all-new Logitech MX1100 Cordless Laser Mouse.

The Wave Keyboard, as you're probably aware, aims to offer improved comfort through its "innovative wave key frame, a U-shaped constant curve and a cushioned, contoured palm rest". Despite its ergonomic bends, Logitech claims it requires no learning curve.

We've seen the keyboard before, though. What's of interest in this particular bundle is the new-and-improved MX1100, successor to the popular-but-old MX1000.

The new cordless laser mouse keeps the ergonomic trend going, and is curved to match the shape of your hand - though, lefties will no doubt disagree. When purchased as part of the Cordless Desktop Wave Pro bundle, the mouse comes with a USB plug that'll let you recharge its battery while you're working.

Logitech states that a quick 15-minute USB burst will give enough power to last a day, and a seven-hour charge will last up to six weeks. If USB isn't for you, you can still plug the mouse to an AC adaptor and charge from a wall outlet.

As you'd expect, the MX1100 provides most of Logitech's usual rodent-goodness, there's the standard 2.4GHz wireless technology, a MicroGear Precision Scroll Wheel, eight programmable buttons, an adjustable dpi, and a handy ol' thumb button.

The downside is its price-tag, as the bundle is expected to be available worldwide in September at a suggested European retail price of €119.99. Those looking for just the MX1100 will be able to pick up the mouse when it launches as a standalone product in mid-September at a suggested retail price of €69.99.

Just what I wanted a month ago, when I was buying a new rig :censored: Had a curved Logitech keyboard in the past, absolutely loved it. And this seems to be even better.
:drool: at last a replacement is in sight for my mx1000! it's coming up to 4yrs since i got it, and it's still running albeit a little battered…. although i'm not too impressed with the price, i paid 70 quid for mx1000. but then again if the mx1100 lasts as long and is as good then i'm sure i'll be buying one pronto :)

I don't know anyone who uses the mouse in their left hand, both my dad, grandad and best friend are left handed, but all use their right hand for the mouse. :confused:

at bloody last
I've got the corded version of the Wave and I love it. It took a little while to get used to the contoured keyboard, but it's so comfortable that I ended up shelling out for one to use in the office as well.

RE: MX1100 - I'm still using a venerable MX510 on my home set-up and it's built like a tank and still working perfectly. (I recently bought a VX Nano to go with the laptop and if the MX1100 is anything like as well thought-out in terms of design, usability and features, then it'll definitely be a winner.)
