Cordless mice and keyboards the cordless desktop vastly improve the computing experience. They look great and eliminate desktop clutter. They even free people from their desks, allowing users to lean back in a chair and place the keyboard on their laps.
And there s no longer a mouse cord to push around or get snagged when navigating the screen.
But setting up a cordless desktop hasn t always been easy. Getting the tiny radio transmitters inside the mouse and keyboard to communicate with the receiver that s plugged into the computer doesn t always work. Computer users want their new cordless mouse and keyboard to be pre-synchronized, pre-encrypted and work immediately, right out of the box, without a finicky setup process. Whether a product uses 27 MHz radio frequency (RF) or 2.4 GHz RF, making that initial connection can be a challenge. For cordless desktops that use the open-standard Bluetooth® transmission technology, the connection process is even more complicated, due to the need to enter passkeys to connect the components to the receiver.
Until now.
Introducing Logitech SecureConnect!"
Following two years of research and development, Logitech has introduced
SecureConnect, the best possible cordless desktop connection experience a computer user could ever ask for. SecureConnect is yet another in a long line of industry firsts from
Logitech, following Logitech s introduction of the world s first cordless mouse in 1992,
first optical cordless mouse in 2001, and first cordless mouse with laser optics in 2004.
With Logitech s new SecureConnect technology, the cordless keyboard, mouse and receiver are all pre-synchronized and pre-connected during manufacturing. They re ready to go right out of the box, with a secure link and without the hassle of a manual connection process. Simply insert the batteries and go. And to assure security,
encryption of keyboard activity is enabled by default.
A Logitech Bluetooth cordless desktop with SecureConnect eliminates the need to enter a passkey during installation; it s done during manufacturing. The result is installation that is faster and easier than ever before. And keyboard encryption is already enabled,
too.
In addition to offering the highest possible level of encryption for 27 MHz cordless desktops, users are forever freed from a finicky setup. The process of establishing encryption is now done at Logitech s factory. Without SecureConnect, users need to perform several steps, including installing software and then activating encryption by entering a string of characters into the cordless keyboard.
Bluetooth users are certain to appreciate Logitech s Bluetooth done right strategy.
Logitech was the first company to launch a Bluetooth desktop that didn t require people to have an existing corded keyboard in addition to their new one to complete the setup process. Previously, people had to use a corded keyboard to input a passkey to connect the new cordless Bluetooth keyboard to a PC. The new SecureConnect technology takes
Bluetooth plug and play to an entirely new level by completely pre-configuring encryption and eliminating the need to enter a passkey.
Under The Hood
Every Logitech cordless desktop consists of at least three hardware components: the mouse and keyboard, each of which contains a miniature battery-powered transmitter,
and the receiver, which plugs into the computer. The Logitech® diNovo!" Media
Desktop!" product adds a fourth component: the MediaPad!", a numeric keypad with an integrated LCD display panel that incorporates a calculator along with time, date, and temperature displays.
