Logitech has turned its attention to a quiet epidemic at the modern desk — the slow accumulation of physical strain that comes from thousands of hours of clicking and typing. With its Signature Comfort Plus lineup, the company is making a public wager that comfort is no longer a specialty concern but a mainstream one, offering cushioned mice and keyboards to the millions whose workdays are measured in keystrokes. It is a modest intervention in a large human problem: the body's gradual reckoning with the demands of digital work.
