A day after releasing a new Web cam, Logitech announced a batch of mouse-and-keyboard combinations on Tuesday, including one that lets you control your desktop from 60 feet away.

The PC gadget maker's four latest peripheral products include the diNovo Media Desktop Laser, the next version of the company's flagship media package. It comes in silver-metallic finish with blue accents and features a detached, multipurpose number pad that can act as a remote control.

The pad also has an interactive display that shows incoming instant messages and e-mails, and displays the status of instant-messenger buddies. In addition, the pad can be used as a standalone calculator.

The diNovo package comes with the MX 1000 laser cordless mouse originally launched last year and a Bluetooth wireless-enabled keyboard, which the Swiss-American company said could let customers transmit a picture from a mobile phone or camera to the PC or use a wireless headset to conduct voice over Internet protocol, or VoIP, phone calls.

The product is expected to ship in October in the U.S. and Europe with a $199.99 price tag.
