If you have managed to get your hands on the Wii and use it for things like chatting or surfing the web, you know what a pain it can be to type on the Wii with the remote. What the Wii has been missing is a keyboard to allow for much faster data input.

Logitech has announced a Nintendo licensed keyboard for the Wii called the Logitech Cordless Keyboard for Wii. The QWERTY keyboard uses 2.4GHz wireless technology to connect to the Wii and includes a dongle for plugging into the Wii.

The keyboard also features special keys just for the Wii like zoom in/out, forward/backward, quit and OK. Logitech says that the keyboard is perfect for the upcoming Wii chat-based games. The wireless receiver also plugs into the back of the keyboard for storage when not in use. The keyboard will debut in August for $49.99.
