Logitech introduces new G-series peripherals

Logitech has updated its G-series line of peripherals for gamers with the introduction of three new products – the Logitech G19 gaming keyboard, Logitech G35 surround sound headset and the new Logitech G9x laser mouse. The new G19 features a color LCD screen with a 320x240 resolution that can be used to provide information on active games and can double as a VoIP call panel, media viewer or PC performance tracker.


This is the first Mac-friendly gaming keyboard from Logitech and, in addition to the aforementioned feature, offers a dozen dedicated programmable keys that can each have three macros. The entire keyboard is backlit and should arrive in March for around $200. Next up is the Logitech G35 headset, which boasts noise cancelling technology, 7.1 surround sound and includes six voice-morphing options in case you want to sound like a cyborg or space squirrel while gaming.

Lastly there is the G9x laser mouse, a fairly minor upgrade on the popular G9 gaming mouse, which features an even faster sensor that tracks at up to 5,000DPI and can drop to as low as 200DPI. It includes two interchangeable, snap-on grips and features on-board memory, enabling users to program up to five ready-to-play profiles. The suggested price tags for the new products are $199.99, $129.99 and $99.99, for the G19, G35 and G9x respectively.

Thats pretty upsetting. Not sure why you guys are bashing Logitech. Next to Microsoft they make the best keyboards out there.

It's a shame because I just bought the G15....ahh well.
