Here are the key features from the press release:

• Responsive Touch Surface: The touch surface responds directly to your fingers – whether you’re surfing the Web or reading your emails and it doesn’t matter which hand you use to mouse. Left-handers can easily reassign the right- and left-click buttons with Logitech SetPoint software.
• Scroll and Swipe Where You Like: The touch surface makes scrolling direct, continuous and free-flowing. And you can scroll and swipe immediately – wherever your fingertips rest on the mouse. Logitech Flow Scroll software gives you scrolling that is fluid -vmuch like scrolling on your favorite touchscreen smartphone.
• Comfortable, Stylish Design: With a modern design, smooth edges and an attractive profile, your mouse feels good in your hand and looks good too.

When I first got hold of the M600, I was impressed by the packaging, it looks nice and prestige, at least something you would expect from a SGD$89 mouse.

The packaging comes with:

• Touch Mouse M600
• Logitech Unifying Receiver
• 2x AA Batteries
• Carrying Pouch
• User Documentation

Logitech Touch Mouse M600 – Glossy Surface

The surface of the mouse is extremely glossy but it is not a fingerprint magnet, I am guessing it has some sort of oleophobic coating over it. With it’s curvy pebble shape and lack of sharp edges, the M600 as what Samsung would call it, is designed for humans (DUH).

Since the whole mouse is a button by itself, there are no much gaps around the mouse for dirt to slip it which makes cleaning easy!

Similar to Apple Magic Mouse, it has a short coming, you can’t use it for long hours because the mouse is flat and I tried using it for 12 hours straight in a row and I did feel some strain on my wrist.

Logitech Touch Mouse M600 – Battery Compartment View

When I opened the packaging, I was searching high and low for the slot to keep the receiver. Normally it is outside the mouse, but for the M600, it is inside the battery compartment. If you look closely on the above picture, you will notice that the receiver compartment is on the right side of the battery. I kinda like this design as you can almost be certain that the receiver will not drop out while in transit when placed in your bag.

Despite the battery compartment is for 2 AA batteries, the mouse is capable of running on a single AA battery which will last you for 3 months. Which of course makes the mouse lighter. Two AA batteries will give you 6 months of battery time according to the website. If you like, you can use your own rechargeable batteries. Check out Eneloop Rechargeable Batteries if you need recommendations =)

Logitech Touch Mouse M600 – Laser Tracking

The M600 tracking is powered by Logitech Advanced Optical Technology which essentially is a laser-grade precision tracking that works on most surfaces. I tested it on my white table and it works, however it doesn’t work on my Ikea’s glass table.

Logitech Touch Mouse M600 – Logitech Unifying Receiver

I didn’t know anything about the Logitech Unifying Receiver till I got the M600. The Logitech Unifying Receiver allows you to connect up to six compatible mice or keyboards to it and hence you just need to sacrifice one USB port for it. If you notice the orange symbol, it has 6 blank lines pointing out.

The wireless range of the mouse is up to 10m (33 feet).

I have no complains on the touch sensitivity of the mouse, it works very well (Left/Right Click, Scrolling Up/Down/left/Right) with my MacBook Air despite the mouse “being designed” for Windows. I think the only difference is that on Windows there is a Logitech Flow Scroll software which basically makes scrolling smoother.

The Logitech Flow Scroll is a software plugin that provides a smooth scrolling experience using Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 6 and up, and Chrome 13 and up while browsing through web pages via the internet. It is Windows 7 only

The “clicking feeling” feels a bit weird for me and I have no idea how to describe it in words properly. The click sound is a little muffled and when you click, it seems that the mouse has an opposing pressure that soften the click which doesn’t give you a sense of satisfaction when you click. Maybe it is just me, but I like mouse that gives you a very good clicking feedback like what Razer does to its’ mice.

Summary
Pros:

• Nice packaging
• Touch Sensitivity is good
• Smooth edges & well designed curves

Cons:

• Not suitable for long hours usage (> 12 hours a day) as the mouse is a little flat. May cause strain on your wrist.

If you need a good touch mouse, I would totally recommend the Logitech Touch Mouse M600.

As I gotten quite a few emails regarding IT Show 2012 promotions, thought I would just like to share it in this blog post. It will not be as comprehensive as websites like IT Fair (Singapore) or Hardware Zone: Tech Show Portal.

Going forward, I might do this for every IT fair in Singapore. There are 4 major IT Fair in Singapore every year. IT Show (March), PC Show (June), Comex (September), Sitex (November).

All prices stated are in Singapore Dollars (SGD$).

I wanted to get the Logitech Harmony 200 instead but while I was passing by the Ban Leong booth, I saw the Harmony 300 going for just SGD$49, the usual retail price is SGD$69. It is SGD$20 cheaper than the RRP and only SGD$10 more expensive than the Harmony 200. I will regret it if I don’t get it at that price!

Connected To The Computer

Configuring the remote is extremely easy! The only down side is, you need to be using IE as the web application is powered by Microsoft Silverlight.

• Go to myharmony.com
• Register an account
• Download and install the software
• Launch myharmony.com again and click “Set up my Harmony remote”

The web app UI is extremely friendly, intuitive and responsive. Adding your device to the remote control is easy as well as Logitech boost a database of about 5,000+ devices, so all you need is just to get the brand and model number for your device. I have more screenshots in the Flickr gallery embedded below.

SINGAPORE – Aug 16, 2011 — Whether you are replacing a lost or broken remote or just want a remote that is easier to use and works with the devices you have, Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) today announced the new Logitech Harmony 200 Remote, which brings the excellence of its award-winning Harmony remotes to people with simpler home entertainment systems.

“Three remotes just to watch TV – that’s a reality for many people, but it doesn’t have to be,” said Prasenjit Sarkar, Director of South East Asia, Logitech. “We believe that no one should have to deal with the headache of multiple remotes and the clutter and confusion they can cause. The new Harmony 200 remote can replace up to three remotes after you complete a brief online setup. And once you’re set up, you’re ready to enjoy your favorite shows and movies with just one click. Getting to your favorite shows has never been easier.”

Thanks to the Harmony online setup, you simply create and account, enter the devices you have and then connect your remote to a computer – we do the rest for you. And because Harmony remotes support more than 5,000 brands and over 225,000 devices, you can be confident that your remote will work with all your devices from yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Once your remote is up and running, you can finally enjoy home entertainment easily and intuitively. For example, the “Watch TV” button lets you turn on or off up to three devices – such as your TV, cable/satellite box and speakers – with the press of one button. The large buttons are easy to find and recognizable by touch, even in the dark.

The Logitech Harmony 200 Remote is the newest edition to the award-winning line of Harmony remotes that includes the Logitech Harmony 300 Remote which replaces up to four devices; the color-screen and rechargeable Logitech Harmony 700 Remote, and the flagship Logitech Harmony One Remote with its stunning touch screen display. Whether your living room has 12 of the latest and greatest gadgets or just a TV and DVD player, there is a Logitech Harmony remote designed for you.
