Logitech has announced the Harmony IR Extender System. The idea is that it makes it easy for you to control your devices even when they are hidden, like say, inside of a closed cabinet. And you can use it right out of the box without any software or other annoyances.

Just place the IR receiver in a convenient, visible location, hook it up to the IR blasters and mini blasters and that’s it. You are done. Stick a fork in yourself. The Logitech Harmony IR Extender System will arrive in the US next month for $59.99.

If you like to use a laptop for portability, but still prefer to use a mouse at your desk, this one is for you. Logitech’s new Notebook Kit MK605 may be your new best friend. The kit includes a pivoting laptop stand, wireless keyboard and a wireless M505 laser mouse that uses a small USB Receiver that communicates with those peripherals.

So what’s the big deal right? You can buy those on their own. You can, but buying them separately would cost you about $30 more than if you buy this bundle, which will run you $100.

The legendary rock band Queen has a new Absolute greatest hits album coming out soon. The band and Logitech have teamed up to offer an exclusive deal to Queen fans who buy the new Squeezebox Radio Wi-Fi music player.

Buyers of the Logitech Squeezebox Radio Wi-Fi will be able to listen to the new Queen Album before it ships to stores in November. The special deal also offers unique Queen photos and audio commentary recorded by the band.

Logitech’s Portable Lapdesk N315 should come in handy for those who are always on the go, trying to get work done in uncomfortable situations. The Logitech Portable Lapdesk N315 will prevent excessive heat from harming your man parts and a pull-out mousepad makes it easy to use an external mouse or add-on keypad if you need them.

The Lapdesk has an anti-slip coating to make sure your notebook doesn’t take a spill and you can wash the entire desk if you get messy with your drink.

Logitech has been offering its line of universal Harmony remotes for a long time now and most all of them that I have used have been great. The only downside to the Harmony line is that the remotes tend to be expensive.

Logitech has announced a new Harmony 700 remote that is also one of the lower cost remotes in the line at $149.99. Despite being cheaper than the other remotes in the Harmony line, the 700 still has many of the same features. The device has a color screen that shows channel icons.

Music fans are always out for cool and easy ways to stream the tunes they love all around their home. Logitech purchased Squeezebox several years ago and has continued offering cool new products in the line.

Today Logitech has officially announced a pair of new Squeezebox players called the Touch and Radio. The Squeezebox Radio is a Wi-Fi music system that lets users listen to music all around the home and has an optional remote and rechargeable battery pack. The device supports internet radio, iTunes plus DRM free tracks, Napster, Rhapsody, Sirius and more. The color screen shows album art as well.

When you need to work on the couch with your laptop is can be difficult to get a surface that is comfortable enough to work on for an extended period and gives you a mousing surface that works well. Logitech has announced a new lapdesk that will do the job.

The device is called the Lapdesk N315 and it measures 367 x 260 x 11mm and weighs 800 grams. The desk is designed to keep the notebook heat away from your lap and keep you cool. The desk also has a retractable mouse pad for your portable mouse.

I am a big fan of Logitech peripherals and have several of them on my desk right now. I really like the line of Logitech mice that have the special scroll wheel that spins freely for scrolling long pages. This makes flying through websites and Word docs much faster.

Logitech has announced two new mice that not only feature that cool scroll wheel, but also have new Darkfield laser senor technology. The two mice are the Logitech Performance Mouse MX and the Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX. The Anywhere MX is a notebook sized portable mouse and the Performance is a full-size desktop mouse.

When Logitech unveiled its G25 racing wheel, I was one of the first in line to get the thing. I love my G25 and I still use it frequently on my PS3 for playing racing and driving games. Today Logitech has announced a new high-end racing wheel to replace the G25.

The new Logitech G27 looks a lot like the G25 and offers dual force feedback motors and a mechanism with helical gearing. The wheel also features an RPM/shift indicator LEDs and has 16 programmable buttons and a D-pad.

When I hear the name Logitech, I immediately think of mice and keyboards. That’s not all the company is about though. Logitech also makes all sorts of other gear from remote controls to speakers for computers and headphones.

Logitech has announced a couple new iPod and iPhone speaker docks. The S315i is the coolest and has a rechargeable battery inside to allow you to play your music wherever you are. The dock is good for 20 hours of music playback per charge in power-saving mode and charges your iPod or iPhone while the music plays.

Some of the best keyboards and computer mice I have used have been from Logitech. In fact, I am typing on a Logitech keyboard right now and I use a Logitech G15 for my gaming machine. The company makes gobs of peripherals that are among the best you can get.

Logitech has announced its latest wireless desktop called the MK700. The desktop features a mouse and keyboard that are designed for comfort. The keyboard has Incurve Keys with concave key tops to help position your fingers and softly rounded edges to allows your fingers to glide between the keys.

I have shed all my remote controls for my various components inside my entertainment center and have been using the Logitech Harmony One since it debuted. I will never go back to using the five or six separate remotes that the One replace on my coffee table.

As cool as the One is, the one catch was that the device wasn’t really intended to work components in other rooms. This is a big deal if you like to hide your gear away inside a closet or behind closed doors. Logitech has announced a new universal remote today called the Harmony 900. The 900 looks just like the One with the same design and button layout.

Logitech has updated its G5 gaming mouse with the release of the new Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse. The G500 features an adjustable dpi from 200dpi all the way up to 5,700dpi, ten programmable buttons, a dual mode scroll wheel with hyper-fast scrolling, and click-to-click scrolling for weapon selection.

Logitech also introduced a new gaming headset in the Logitech G330, which features a noise canceling microphone and in-line audio controls. The Logitech G500 Gaming mouse will cost you $69.99, meanwhile the G330 headset is $49.99.

Not that it’s a competition or anything, but Logitec of Japan is now claiming the thinnest wireless router in the world. The LAN-W300N/R measures a sickly and anorexic 7mm at its thinnest part, while the widest part is a mere 24mm thick.

If you like your routers like supermodels, thin and sexy, the LAN-W300N/R also functions as an access point in your home or office. It’s too early to know if we will ever see it around these parts, but we hope so.

One of my all-time favorite mobile mice for notebooks is the Logitech VX Nano. The reason I liked the mouse so much was that it had a tiny Nano receiver that was so small you didn’t even need to unplug it to pack up your notebook.

Logitech has announced a new Nano receiver called the Logitech Unifying Receiver that eliminates the need for multiple wireless receivers when used with compatible peripherals. The tiny receiver protrudes from the USB port only 8mm and can connect with up to six different Logitech wireless peripherals.
