Want to hook your PC to your TV? New Logitech keyboard can handle it

Logitech is no stranger to making a keyboard or mouse, nor is the company unfamiliar with the living room. Last year it released a home theater keyboard -- the Harmony Smart Keyboard. Now an updated version of the same concept is being announced, though this time without the Harmony name attached. This one is actually a successor to a previous model.

The Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 Plus aims to help you control your living room via a computer hooked to the TV, in other words an HTPC. Logitech claims a wireless range of up to 33 feet for this device. There's also no mouse required, as the keyboard has a built-in touchpad. It also comes with batteries that Logitech claim will last 18 months.

"The living room is a place where we come to relax, entertain ourselves and connect with friends and family", says Charlotte Johs, global vice president of computer peripherals at Logitech. "The Logitech Wireless Keyboard K400 Plus makes it easy to connect your PC to the TV and search for Internet content".

The keyboard comes in what Logitech calls "neutral gray" and is very thin and light, making it easy to store and move around. It will be available this month and priced at a reasonable $39.99. If you own the original K400 then this will be a nice upgrade for you. If not, then it could be a new addition to your living room.
