Logitech Wireless MK710 keyboard and mouse bundle boasts 3 year battery
These days you can hook a keyboard and mouse up to anything from a games console to even a few hacked smartphones. Still, it's a chore fumbling around behind your desktop PC for a tangle of mouse and keyboard wires,…
Ctrl-alt-delete cushions, for a geekier sofa
God I want these. Being male, I’m not normally one for cushions on a sofa (they just get in the way of my reclining) but these have completely and utterly changed my mind.
They’re 12″ across – about the size of a pizza – and made of light grey and black felt. They’re machine washable, and will cost you $60, plus $15 shipping. That’s £50 or so, total. Only three sets left though, at the time of writing, so be quick!

LG has 'modular' VX9600 Versa in the works
Smartphone buyers have so many choices – do you want a touchscreen? A QWERTY keyboard? External media buttons? 5-megapixel camera? 3.5mm headphone jack? In many cases, the features you need dictate the phone you’re getting, before usability, software and design even come into it.
That’s why I’m quite excited by the VX9600 Versa, which promises to be ‘modular’, meaning you’ll be able to plug in whatever features you want when you need them. In the image above, you can see a plug-in QWERTY keyboard and gamepads and stereo speakers are rumoured too. Sounds promising, but there’s absolutely no ship date yet, so the chances of this appearing in the near future are slim.

Logitech shows off its revamped gaming lineup – two keyboards a headset and a mouse
Next up, it’s Logitech’s turn to show off its new products to the world. They’ve got the G19 keyboard, the G13 gameboard, the G9x mouse and the G35 surround sound headset. I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that the G stands for ‘gaming’, because these are all very squarely focused at PC gamers.
I’ll start with the G19, which we spotted previously, but called the G18. In every other respect, though, it seems to be the same model – it’s got the same 320 x 240 colour LCD, the same 12 macro keys, and the superb “game mode” switch that disables the Windows key so you don’t hit it by accident at a crucial moment. No sign of that D-pad, though.
Logitech G18 spotted – a new gaming keyboard?
Despite not owning one personally, I’m a big fan of the Logitech G15 keyboards. The LCD display and macro buttons really rule the roost when it comes to gaming keyboards. Info has leaked out this morning, however, about a successor, which seems to be called the G18.
From the image above, we can tell a few things. It’s got double the number of macro keys on the left hand side (6 to 12), some sort of D-pad, and nicest of all, a full-colour LCD screen, replacing the G15’s single-colour LCD.
When we spoke to Logitech this morning, they had no comment, so this is probably a few months away from being announced, but we’ll have the full details, and a full review, as soon as it’s released.

Shiny Video Review: Logitech Illuminated and DiNovo Keyboards
Dan and I have been using the keyboards that came with our PCs for a long time, and they were starting to get a bit mucky. Imagine our delight, therefore, when Logitech got on the blower and asked if we fancied taking a look at some of their newest, swankiest keyboard models. Check out the video above to see what we thought.

Logitech diNovo wireless keyboard, Mac edition – this one goes to 19
Apple users must, I’m sure, get accustomed to the fact that there’s a lot of stuff out there that’s designed for Windows and doesn’t work out of the box on their Macs. Logitech, however, have always been good at supporting the white plastic brigade, and they’ve just released a Mac edition of their diNovo wireless keyboard.
There’s not a whole lot to say about it. It has keys. You type on them. There’s a ‘command’ key instead of a Windows one. It does have one nice feature though – 19 Mac-specific shortcut keys. Instead of the function keys stopping at 12, like on a Windows keyboard, they keep going up to 19.
Spinal Tap references aside, the diNovo wireless keyboard’s a decent bit of kit if you need a keyboard and you’re a Mac user. It costs £70, and it’s available now. Oh, and there’s still no scroll lock.
