Logitech’s shiny new MK700 desktop kit

MK700_1Your desktop keyboard mouse set just got a bit fancier. Meet the MK 700 Wireless Desktop Kit from Logitech.

Designed with all the usual ergonomic accoutrements like “finger-cradling curves” and a cushioned palm rest, the glossy black keyboard also has a build in LCD screen to give you all of the keyboard’s status symbols, like caps and num lock, mute, and a battery status indicator in a dashboard style set-up.

Speaking of batteries, this one comes with a rather impressive lifespan, with up to three years on the keyboard and a year on the mouse. We don’t remember the last time someone quoted a battery’s lifespan to us in years.

The mouse comes with a “hyper-fast” scrolling mode where the scroll wheel will move “near frictionlessly.” While we’re all about defying the laws of physics with our desktop sets, the mouse also can scroll through documents at a normal pace too.

The MK700 will ship before the end of the month to your favorite electronics store.
