 "CES 09: Logitech Announces G-series Gaming Peripherals")
If it’s gaming peripherals you crave you’ll be glad to know that Logitech has come out with 3 brand new products - the G19 keyboard, the G35 surround sound headset and the G9x laser mouse - at CES in Las Vegas.
The Logitech G19 Keyboard for Gaming: Cost $199.99
The Logitech G19 keyboard is the first Logitech keyboard to feature a color GamePanel LCD. The tiltable, 320-by-240-pixel display provides valuable in-game information for over sixty games, including World of Warcraft.The Logitech G35 Surround Sound Headset: Cost $129.99
The Logitech G35 headset is the first Logitech headset to offer 7.1 surround sound. Powered by second-generation Dolby Headphone technology, the G35 headset simulates the complex acoustics of a listening room, creating a detailed, outside-the-head sound field. Plus, with its proprietary ear-enclosing design, the G35 headset reduces ambient noise, while an adjustable, noise-canceling microphone focuses on your voice and reduces background noise.
If you want to sound like your World of Warcraft character or disguise your voice when gaming, you can install the included software to enjoy six voice-morphing options, including cyborg, giant, mutant, space squirrel, troll and alien (whoa!).
The Logitech G9x Laser Mouse: Cost $99.99
Providing precision at any hand speed (up to 150 inches per second on most popular gaming-mousepad surfaces), the Logitech G9x laser mouse extends the promise of the award-winning Logitech G9 Laser Mouse with its next-generation laser sensor. Featuring on-the-fly adjustable dpi from 200 to 5000 dpi, the G9x mouse makes it easy to go from pixel-precise targeting to lightning-fast maneuvers without pausing the action.
The G9x mouse includes two interchangeable, snap-on grips that let you choose a fit and feel that’s best for your playing style. The G9x mouse also features onboard memory so you can program up to five ready-to-play profiles. The weight-tuning system gives you up to 28 grams of extra weight and custom-color LEDs let you match your G9x mouse to your personal preference – or the colors you choose for your G19 keyboard or G13 gameboard.
The keyboard and the headset should be available by March while the mouse should hit stores by April 2009.
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
