Logitech Extends Award-Winning Family of Notebook Mice

FREMONT, Calif. — June 1, 2005 — With sales of notebook PCs on the rise, Logitech (SWX:LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI) today announced that its growing family of notebook computer mice includes two new mice with battery management

Features: the Logitech® V200 Cordless Notebook Mouse and the Logitech® Cordless Mini Optical Mouse.

Logitech, the world’s leading manufacturer of computer mice, now offers four mice made specifically for notebook PCs, all highly compact and portable, but differing in design and features to meet the varying needs of notebook PC users.

The Logitech V200 Cordless Notebook Mouse combines an unmatched battery life of up to one year with virtually interference-free 2.4 GHz digital cordless technology – making it ideal for mobile professionals who need the best wireless technology and don’t want to hassle with changing batteries frequently. Meanwhile, the affordable Logitech Cordless Mini Optical Mouse is a good fit for value-conscious notebook PC owners who are frustrated by using a touchpad and want a reliable cordless mouse to improve their computing experience.

Both new mice make going cordless easy. Each features a convenient battery-light indicator that notifies users when the batteries are running low. Also, both mice are plug-and-play – they include a miniature USB wireless receiver that is paired individually with the mouse during manufacturing. When the receiver is plugged in, the mouse works immediately. When not in use, the USB receiver conveniently snaps onto the base of the mouse. This action automatically switches the mouse power off, saving battery life, while also making the mouse and receiver easy to transport.
