Logitech has answered the call of the Mac community and created a dedicated version of its diNovo keyboard for the Mac.

The new keyboard promises a "comfortable typing experience" using what Logitech calls a PerfectStroke key system.

PerfectStroke, say the company, is designed to create longer key travel - 3.2 mm compared to 2.2 mm - than that of typical notebook keyboards, which means that the distance your fingers have to travel to activate a key is supposedly optimised for your comfort.

The thin profile (22.1mm) cordless diNovo keyboard comes with a 3-year battery life and an integrated number pad.

The diNovo Keyboard, Mac Edition delivers one-touch access to Mail, Safari, iTunes, Exposé, Cover Flow, Dashboard, QuickLook and Spaces via the F keys and in addition will let you control music via Play, Pause, Mute and Volume buttons however users will have to install software to get the most out of the keyboard.

"While the diNovo Edge keyboard is rechargeable and includes a TouchDisc and touch-sensitive volume control, our newest diNovo keyboard has a full-size layout and nineteen shortcut keys that provide quick access to Safari, iTunes, Expose, iChat and much more."

The Logitech diNovo Keyboard, Mac Edition cordless keyboard is expected to be available in the US and Europe beginning this month for a suggested retail price of $99.99 in the US.

UK pricing and availability has been confirmed for the start of November for a suggested retail price of £69.99.
