For those not ready for the possibly invasive voice-control revolution, or who prefer the speed and reliability of typing, audio video and computer accessories manufacturers Logitech introduced this week a Bluetooth TV keyboard with integrated touchpad and D-Pad.
The Logitech K600 TV Keyboard with integrated touchpad and D-Pad will hit retail shelves in October at a $69.95 suggested retail price.
Using the wireless device, users with smart TVs will be able to use the K600 for easy text entry in apps and menus, and will enjoy precise menu and cursor control, the company said.
The keyboard can be used to easily search for the content you want to watch and navigate web pages using TV web browsers quickly and with familiarity and comfort.
The K600 uses a standard key layout and is quiet, and comfortable to type on. It features an always-in-reach touchpad and D-pad to navigate, select and control apps and web pages.
