"With the news this week that Logitech is going to provide peripherals for Nintendo's Wii console, this latest tidbit of information coming from the May 2007 issue of Game Informer has a bit more credibility than we would normally give it."

Surfing the web on my Wii is cool and all, but I work on my computers 24/7 so it's nice to step away from the browser and keyboard when I sit down at my console...

this will making posting way easier. cant wait. wonder how much it will cost.
nice find...I don't need some huge keyboard, but I also don't want a Qwerty one that you'd find on a smart phone. I want it wireless with the option to plug it in if my batteries die.

i think thats asking a bit much. it'd have to be one of the two. i'd want it plug in so it doesnt use battery power, rather it use power from the wii.

I knew that eventually Nintendo would get a keyboard...
Maybe they will bring IMing to the wii! That would be sweet!!
awesome find, and Logitech has some amazing products Big Grin this is looking very bright
I just hope its not bulky or takes up to much room...
OMG Seriously?!? This is great, I was always skeptical as to whether or not they would have a keyboard but finally we know.
small and simple, just like the wii.
It would be cool if they put something out like this, which would plug into the remote. If a roll/fold up, then something very compact.

that would be really nice, and it would decrease risk of getting damaged..

but I'm willing to have the most basic keyboard at a cheap price so long as it's, you know, a keyboard Toungue
This is cool for those who are wanting one. I have a computer so I really don't need one for my Wii.
Well even if you have a computer you can still use the keyboard when typing messages on the Wii.
This is cool, but I;ve gotten use to using the Wiimote to type.
To Snare:

But, I am not really on the internet with my Wii, I only get on when I am bored.. so I would be wasting monehs. I dont mind the Wiimote either.. Toungue
Maybe something like the 360's new keyboard?

I think he means more like in Wii games, such as online lobbies..

on Socom or Madden, the PS2 keyboard was really useful as far as online lobbies are concerned..however, Wiimote typing is definitely faster than with a controller..

Think of it this way. The PS3 controller is wireless, but recharged using a mini USB cable that goes into the system. They could do something like that. Use the keyboard all day for a couple days, then hook up a small cable, and charge up the rechargeable batteries built into it.

I Think what gft77 is saying would work the best...
But if it were to plug into a wii-mote, then it is no biggy because i use rechargable batterys
A keyboard is one of my biggest asks. I'm not typing with the Wiimote, that is quite gay.
