Logitech Rolls Out New Gaming Peripherals

By Digital Trends Staff May 11, 2006

Logitech on Tuesday added two new computer peripheral products to its growing line of G-series devices for gamers. The Logitech G3 Laser Mouse is priced at $59.99 and will be available in August, while the G11 Keyboard will hit store shelves in July for $69.99.

The Logitech G3 Laser Mouse, said the company, delivers 2000 dpi laser tracking (with software installed), processes 6.4 megapixels of images per second and uses full-speed USB to reportedly deliver 500 reports per second, which is critical in game play to ensure more precision with no lag. The mouse also has a â€œDryGripâ€ surface to help maintain a secure grip during long gaming sessions. The G11 Keyboard has features such as 18 programmable keys and three shift modes for a total of 54 custom commands per game, a gaming mode switch which disables the Windows key so it can’t be accidentally bumped, LED backlighting for translucent characters on the keys and two integrated USB ports.

“Just as athletes carefully choose their gear for competition, PC gamers seek tools with the right features and the right fit as they prepare for battle,” said Ruben Mookerjee, Logitech’s director of product marketing for interactive entertainment, in a statement. “With these new G-series peripherals, we are providing gamers with a wider range of peripherals that offer a competitive edge.”

A new wave of cheap mini-LED gaming monitors has arrived

HDR-capable gaming monitors are all the rage these days. Whether they're OLED or mini-LED, it's finally possible to get a really killer HDR experience from your monitor. Until very recently, however, you'd be spending lots of money to do it.

Enter a new wave of mini-LED gaming monitors, with prices as low as $280, that call into question similar-priced monitors that are edge-lit or have no local dimming at all. You'd be right to be skeptical, and even though these new monitors can't compare against some of the best gaming monitors, they're a big leap forward for putting proper HDR monitors in front of a lot more gamers.

Anything is possible in this new era of gaming monitors

Sometimes, you get everything you've wanted. We probably won't see much innovation from gaming monitors over the next couple of years. We're on the heels of CES 2024, and we saw some exciting gaming monitor announcements -- the first 4K QD-OLED displays, a 480Hz OLED monitor, and even some experimentation with glasses-free 3D.

After several years of innovation only applying to the most expensive of expensive gaming monitors, displays are finally providing a leap forward for gamers. Gaming monitors have hit a new mountaintop peak -- time to enjoy the view and imagine the possibilities of what comes next.

I sat in Razer’s new gaming chair, and my back loved it

I'm a father of two, and my back hasn't been the same these past few years. At CES 2024, I took a seat in Razer's new Iskur V2 gaming chair -- and I could really feel the difference in support on my lower back.

The best feature is the new lumbar support, which Razer calls the "6D Adjustable and Adaptive Lumbar Support System." It's unlike any gaming chair I've ever sat in -- or any other desk chair, for that matter. Essentially, the spring-loaded mechanism built into the cushion allows you to lean left and right in the chair, with the rotation supporting you at every angle in real time. Razer calls it a "one of its kind" innovation in ergonomics, and from my experience, I have to agree.
