Logitech Announces New PC Gaming Peripherals

[Gin Fushicho]

So the keyboard is basically a new G11?

The mouse looks nice. I've got a razer mamba right now and it's complete garbage, from the shoddy software to the sub 8 hour battery life. Personally I'd like to see a wireless mouse "round up" review!

[citation][nom]Gin Fushicho[/nom]So the keyboard is basically a new G11?[/citation]
The G11 was just a G15 v1 without a screen, and was released around the time of the release of disappointing G15 v2, which had notably fewer programmable buttons at a higher price which in part raised the public outcry among its loyal fans. This keyboard is much closer to the original G15 at significantly and unjustifiably greater cost.
Screw you, Logitech, you had your chance at reconciliation and you blew it.
Now, if it had 3 banks of 8 keys instead of 6, then it would really be an "improvement" over the original G15 (in theory), and only then would it possible be worth the higher cost.

That new keyboard is no different than the G19.

Yes it is. Doesn't have a full-color LCD screen. It is a direct successor of the original G15. G19 is a significantly overpriced joke.

Though that many programmable buttons are massive overkill for even the hardest of the hardcore professional gamer or enthusiast..

Not for hardcore MMO players who absolutely MUST have every on-screen button hot-keyed to a physical key on their keyboard.
By the way, complete sentences have only one period (count them). Ones that you finish up later or otherwise trail off have three…which together is called an ellipses. They are NOT suitable substitutes for commas, however. [/GrammarNazi] [:waffle911]

Now make the same Wireless Headset for BLUETOOTH connectivity and you can market it as a PS3 Exclusive. I'd buy it for my PS3. I hate the loop over the ear ones. I wear one all day for work. I don't like to have to also where one for gaming. Give me the BOSE Quality, Noise Canceling Cover the Ear headset with and an adjustable microphone and we are in business.

Hmmmm, that G700 rat looks suspiciously like the MX1000, which I have under my paw here now, speaking of WIRELESS rats, I have been using them for at least 5 years now and find them to be just as good as "the other kind", I play FPS games all the time, my present time waster[I'm retired, and over 60+] is F.E.A.R. II, for which a precision mouse is almost required equipment.
I read [somewhere][certainly not on Tom's] about some fool yapping about batteries going dead in a wireless rat and, I wondered if they knew how to use the escape key whilst they changed baaaaa-ttries....

 

[JOSHSKORN]

OMG Gimmie! Must...have...NOWWW!!!

 

[quovatis]

g700 looks awesome. I still use an MX1000 and have been waiting for a suitable replacement. I think they finally made one that isn't garbage!

 

[doomtomb]

Too much money for me. Way too much. Logitech gaming products are too expensive.

 

[the associate]

Wow, a replacement for my G7? Really? Finally, I can't wait to hold one of these in my hands and test it in Bad Company 2 =D

 

[cobra5000]

Overpriced!

I dont know why my keyboard hasnt been reviewed but its a logitech flat and ultra thin backlit keyboard thats really modern in design.Its simply called logitech illuminated keyboard... but its a great peripheral.

 

[Notleh]

I have been using my G15 for about 6 years now and see no reason to upgrade it. Most of the new games have releases for the LCD and with 54 programmable buttons I am set.

However, if it does go out then I will be buying this new model.

 

[dEAne]

I look for this one. I didn't know logitech products well. . .

 

[chrissmartin]

expensive but superb gaming accessory

Awesome.... G510 looks good! I moved to the G110 awhile back and had a G15 before that. Since I moved to the G110, I have actually missed the LCD panel for certain things. Would be nice to have it back.

You do realize that is a pack of 36 mice right?

 

[sneaky jedi]

[alexcheng]

Damn, the wait is never long enough! Lucky I didn't buy the SideWinder x8

No, thanks, why would you want to why 36 of them? Resale but this is a first for me, bulk mice, is it because they suck soo bad you have plenty of back ups LOL.

 

[extremepcs]

Hang on, don't shoot me... I'm changing my battery. Not a fan of wireless mice.

 

[sykozis]

I'll keep my MX8....it's preparing for battery set 3 and it's 3 years old and gets used for 8-10hrs a day...

 

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

They need to make a new big BT rollerball.
Something part Kensington Orbit 3D and Part Logitech Trackman.

to the guy who said the needed something to compete w/ the n52... its called the G13 - works good fer me

 

[tommysch]

[citation][nom]dgingeri[/nom]Finally! Replacements for my old G7 and G15 that are actually worthy of the name! The mouse and keyboards look so good. Now they need something that can actually compete with the Belkin n52.[/citation]

Get a G9x and keep the G15... Those are cheaper and above all, wireless.
