Logitech introduces the Logitech CRAFT, a keyboard with the unique Creative Input Dial (touch-sensitive aluminum dial called the Crown) that can adapt itself depending on the application.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This, in my opinion, is the first time that a keyboard comes with this feature. And it has Dual Connectivity by using a Logitech Unifying receiver or through Bluetooth Low Energy\u00a0technology.<\/p>\n

Here is a close up of the dial.\u00a0Love the minimalist look.<\/p>\n

The Logitech CRAFT Advanced Keyboard is expected to be available in September\u00a02017 at Logitech.com and select retail stores for a suggested retail price of S$329.00. Not cheap for a keyboard.<\/p>\n

Here are the key features of the Logitech CRAFT.<\/p>\n

Key Features<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n

  • Premium Typing:<\/strong> Type with confidence and precision on a keyboard made of premium materials and\u00a0crafted for efficiency, stability and precision.

          Logitech Reinvents the Keyboard Experience with Logitech CRAFT<\/em><\/h2>\n

          Revolutionary Dial \u2018Rounds Out\u2019 the Keyboard<\/em><\/p>\n

          SINGAPORE. \u2014 Sep. 04, 2017 \u2014<\/strong> Today Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI)\u00a0announced CRAFT, the first keyboard ever with a creative input dial, setting a new\u00a0standard for computer keyboards. CRAFT looks and feels better than anything you have\u00a0typed on and offers a whole new way to immediately access context-specific computing\u00a0tools with a smart aluminum dial. For example, with a touch, tap or turn you can adjust\u00a0image brightness, contrast and saturation in Adobe Photoshop, or create and adjust\u00a0charts in Microsoft Excel. Or simply turn the dial to move up and down font sizes in\u00a0document programs like Microsoft Word. The creative input dial gives you the ultimate
          \ncontrol and input at your desk for precision, efficiency and uninterrupted creative flow.<\/p>\n

          \u201cOur new flagship Logitech CRAFT keyboard is for all of us who spend time creating\u00a0using photoshop or building powerpoint slides and want to work with greater precision\u00a0and feel connected to their work,” said Moninder Jain, Managing Director, ASEAN and\u00a0Vice-President for Logitech. “The creative input dial gives you instant access to the\u00a0functions you need, the moment you need them, allowing you to increase your\u00a0productivity. CRAFT puts you in your creative element \u2013 every time you sit at the desk.\u201d<\/p>\n

          The touch-sensitive aluminum creative input dial, called the Crown, recognizes the apps\u00a0you are using and gives instant access to the tools you need. With a slight touch of the\u00a0Crown you can instantly access context-specific functions — like brush size, brightness,\u00a0chart type, font size — tap to change the function and turn to change the selected\u00a0function\u2019s value. Installing custom profiles in Logitech Options TM Software maximizes the\u00a0creative process when working with Adobe Photoshop CC, Adobe Illustrator CC, Adobe\u00a0Premiere Pro CC, Adobe InDesign CC and Microsoft PowerPoint\u00ae, Excel\u00ae and Word\u00ae(Microsoft functionalities work on PC only at this time). The Crown brings comfort,\u00a0immediacy and convenience to your creative process and allows for increased\u00a0two-handed interactions. You can also use the Crown to change desktops, navigate\u00a0between apps, or adjust volume – and assign one additional Crown function in each of\u00a0your favorite apps.<\/p>\n

          CRAFT also features smart illumination with backlighting that detects your hands and\u00a0adjusts lighting automatically depending on the room conditions. The keys are crafted\u00a0for comfort, in a full-size familiar layout, with each individual key engineered for stability\u00a0and precision. CRAFT looks great alongside other premium desktop accessories by\u00a0Logitech, such as the Logitech Spotlight Presentation Remote and Logitech MX Master\u00a02S.<\/p>\n

          Additionally with the touch of an Easy-Switch TM button, you can switch between \u2013 and\u00a0type on \u2013 any three connected devices, whether you are using a Windows \u00ae PC or\u00a0Mac \u00ae. Select from either a Logitech Unifying\u2122 USB receiver or Bluetooth \u00ae Low Energy\u00a0technology to connect to your computer.<\/p>\n
