Logitech has introduced the Logitech Cordless Desktop S 530 Laser designed specifically for Mac users.

The new cordless keyboard-and-mouse combination comes in soft white with silver accents, matching the colouring of the Mac. The ultra-flat keyboard is less than 3/4 inches (19 mm) high, serving an ergonomic purpose by minimizing wrist extension.

The keyboard features all the standard Mac keys and two narrow panels, one on each of the right and left sides, with 15 additional buttons that allow you to launch and navigate digital media and the internet, and to open documents.

One-touch media buttons on the right side of the keyboard help people control music and playlists within iTunes, and launch the iPhoto application and the Mac Spotlight search feature.

The Logitech Cordless Desktop S 530 Laser for Mac features a USB mini-receiver that plugs directly into a Mac's USB port. It's easy to unplug the mini-receiver and mouse for use with a Powerbook or iBook, around the house or for travel.

The Logitech Cordless Desktop S 530 Laser for Mac will be available in Europe in March for a suggested retail price of £50.
