The valid period of three years to both the keyboard and the mouse, which Logitech would be significantly ahead of the competition. Basis for calculating the duration of the keyboard are two million attacks per year, the annual mileage in the mouse is used, did not specify the group.

The low power consumption will be primarily achieved through two innovations: the device is no longer sparks with 27 megahertz, but at 2.4 gigahertz, making for much faster communication between device and receiver shall be enabled.
