Logitech NuLOOQ Navigator
Introduction
Logitech's NuLOOQ Navigator is one of the more interesting devices I've seen in the past few years. It's an attempt to create a new breed of devices; it's more than a mouse, it's not a tablet, it's a new way to move around your computer environment. The NuLOOQ Navigator is designed to fit in your non-dominant hand. In other words, if you're right handed, this goes in your left hand. Instead of having your hand hovering over the keyboard, you put the opposite hand on the NuLOOQ Navigator, and it offers a more versatile experience that just a mouse and keyboard alone can supply. Is it just another gadget or is it really useful? Will it change my usage patterns or just become an expensive paperweight? The details lie ahead. First Looks The first thing I noticed was how heavy the NuLOOQ Navigator was. The weight actually turns out to be useful because as you push and pull on various parts of the device it would move around if not for the extra heft. Since it's relatively heavy though, it's not going anywhere. Trailing from the device is a 1 meter USB cable which you will of course use to interface with your computer. The ring around the edges of the device is called, get this, the navring. You can push the navring in four directions (up, down, left and right) and twist it around the center of the device. So you get six motions from this one input. On the top is a touch sensitive ring called the toolruner which allows you to scroll through a list, functioning in a similar fashion to an iPod's scroll wheel. Also on the top are five buttons which Logitech calls triggerpoints. These five triggerpoints are programmable and they give a satisfying click when pushed, especially the center button.

on February 1, 2007 - 10:17 am All I needed to read was the combination of words: Logitech/Mouse/Keyboard, and the hairs on the back of my neck begin to raise just that of a cat arching its back. I have a Wireless Keyboard/Mouse combo made from Logitech, and while I used to be a strong supporter of them, my experience with their abhorrently useless customerr servic has left a bitter taste in my mouth. Over a month has gone by, and I have YET to be enabled to return a simple control module with a stuck "Connect" button. If this product is any product made by Logitech, I shake my head, and pity the next user who has to try and expalin what the "Connect Button" and "Control Module" is, and wait three days for a "????" response. If it says "Logitech", I advise just walk away, unless of course you like to throw away your money on something that will never have a chance of being repaired. 2 - Posted by

on February 1, 2007 - 11:21 am Logitech makes some of the best peripherals on the market. I know it's hard to keep an open mind when a certain company's product breaks on you, but try to keep in mind that the majority of people that use their products don't have a problem with them at all. I've had several Logitech products and I've been very happy with them and I will continue to buy their products in the future (assuming they are just as good). As far as customer service, I've never had a problem with one of their products so I've never had to deal with that.

on September 10, 2008 - 7:34 am what a waste of time this review is - this device is clearly made for the photoshop market and this reviewer doesn't even have the latest copy of photoshop who buys this to use in Word and Excel? 4 - Posted by

on September 10, 2008 - 4:50 pm 'worthless' : Good point. We'll dust the cobwebs off and re-test the NuLOOQ Navigator with Photoshop CS3 and add our testing results to the review. Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback.
