July 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Logitech (NASDAQ:LOGI) (Switzerland: LOGN, LOGZ), today announced software support for Mac(R) OS X for the company's keyboards, mice and trackballs. This is an important step in providing added functionality and cordless freedom for Macintosh users.

The new software compatibility enables specialized features of the enhanced function keys, Internet hot keys and multimedia controls on Logitech keyboards. The software is available for download from the Logitech support page http://www.logitech.com/maclcc and is compatible with Logitech's current line of mice and keyboards, which range from $14.95 to $99.95. The software will also be packaged in Logitech's new line of cordless keyboards this fall.

With the new Mac OS X supported software, Mac users will be able to take advantage of the many features offered by the Logitech(R) Control Center, a software feature that integrates added mouse and keyboard functionality with the operating system. For example:

-- Conduct an effortless search at the touch of a button by launching Sherlock(R), an Apple(R) search application;
-- Use the dedicated multimedia keys to launch and control the Apple(R) iTunes, media player;
-- Access your favorite folder, application or website using the dedicated keys;
-- Use programmable keys to enable one-touch connection to your email client, Instant Messaging, iMovie, web cameras or any application you choose.

For the new line of keyboards this fall the key caps will be printed to accommodate key layouts for both Mac and Windows.

"Macintosh users no longer need to feel limited by a cord or partial keyboard functionality, " said Denis Pavillard, Director of Product Marketing for keyboards at Logitech. "We are pleased to provide a winning combination of great design and enhanced productivity. Our Logitech Control Center makes for more fluid access to applications and navigation tools to help Mac users work, play and communicate more effectively in the digital world."

With the release of the new software, all Logitech USB keyboards, mice and trackballs are compatible with Macintosh OS X or later, as well as Windows(R) 98, Windows(R) 2000, Windows(R) Millennium Edition and Windows(R) XP.
