Logitech G-Series unleashes four kinds of awesomeness

Logitech have released four new gaming products from their new G-range in Australia for the first time, including some of the most science-fiction inspired gaming products we've seen recently.

The sleek, futuristic Logitech G-series gear has already won some industry awards for design quality.

In total, four new Logitech gaming products have been released across the G-range and include: 

  • Logitech G13 Advanced Gameboard
  • The Logitech G19 Keyboard for Gaming
  • The Logitech G35 Surround Sound Headset
  • The Logitech G9x Laser Mouse

Logitech G13 Advanced Gameboard

This 87-key gameboard features a concave design that fits the contours of your fingers, suiting the natural shape of the human hand. This also makes the buttons easier to touch, and in theory helps improve those reaction times in games like Call of Duty 4, and you can customise button profiles to suite your favourite games.

The Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard

The GamePanel LCD and the 12 fully programmable G-keys (with multi-input capabilities) are probably what makes this one of the most interesting gaming keyboards out there. The 320 x 240 display provides in-game advice/info for over sixty games. It'll also measure CPU load, VOIP data stats and multitudes of other data.

The Logitech G35 Surround Sound Headset

This product picked up the CES 2009 Design and Engineering Award: Honouree in Electronic Gaming, so Logitech obviously have their design helmets on with this one. This headset stands out from the pack with 7.1 surround sound, with the ability to simulate a more realistic sound field and higher fidelity room acoustics.  Apparantly, the proprietary ear-enclosing design helps the G35 to greatly reduce ambient noise and background noise.

For added gaming shenanigans, there are six voice-morphing options, including cyborg and mutant, in case you want to really confuse your opponents. Additional on-ear audio controls provide quick access to microphone adjustments.

The Logitech G9x Laser Mouse

This mouse provides up to to 150 inches per second (the faster, the better for games). It also features on-the-fly adjustable dpi from 200 to 5000 dpi, ensuring ultra-fast gaming manoeuvre.

There's also two interchangeable, snap-on grips for different playing styles, onboard memory and five programmable read-to-play profiles to suit different gaming modes.  It's also very light at 28 grams and for the fashion conscious, the custom-colour LEDs will let you match your G9x with your G19 or G13 gameboard.
