Plugging a computer into the big TV in the lounge room is an increasingly common, but how do you drive it? Logitech's new wireless keyboard adds to the available choices.

The Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 is designed for use with computers connected to TVs. It incorporates a 3.5in multi-touch touchpad to avoid the need for a mouse or other separate controller.



Other features of the $79.95 device include multimedia keys, quiet operation, and key legends designed to be easily read in dim light.

Logitech's Unifying wireless receiver plugs into a USB port, and can be used with up to six compatible devices. Logitech officials said no special software is required.

"With our new Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400, people can connect their laptops to the TV, turn up the volume of a YouTube video, pause their vacation slideshows or tweet about the movie they just downloaded, all from one sleek controller," said Annabelle Woods, general manager of Logitech Australia.

The K400 will be available from Bing Lee, Dick Smith, The Good Guys, JB Hi-Fi, Myer and Officeworks.
