Logitech has announced the the new MX5500 cordless desktop system, featuring the already launched MX Revolution mouse along with a new LCD-enhanced keyboard, both Vista-ready.

The new keyboard in this combo from Logitech focuses largely on a small LCD screen on the top center of the keyboard which prominently displays the time and date along with calculator functions, music playback status and incoming messages. The keyboard features the Vista Flip 3D, Gadgets and Zoom along with shortcut buttons and a Zero Degree tilt keyboard for comfort.

The laser mouse docks on a rapid charging station to keep the batteries up to snuff and houses Logitech’s hyper-fast metal scroll wheel. Both the mouse and the keyboard are wireless and connect via Bluetooth from a standard range of up to 30 feet and are compatible with Windows XP, 2000 and Vista.

The MX5500 cordless desktop starts shipping this month for a $169.99 price tag.
