Logitech have started this year on a positive note, with success in the CES awards, along with the announcement of a shiny new product line to be released in April and march for PC gamers. This includes the rumoured G19 Gaming Keyboard, a refreshed G9 mouse in the form of the G9x, and the G35 Surround Sound Headset.

The Logitech G13 Advanced Game Board took home the title of "Best of Innovations in Electronic Gaming, at the 2009 CES, which is often described as the "E3 of hardware events". We've got details on the new G19 Gaming Keyboard, and the rest of the product range.

in all honesty the G9 mouse didn't need any more DPI, its already too fsck fast to keep up with I keep mine around the 800DPI mark just because it makes life easier. (thank god for those +- buttons on top ey )

the new keyboard looks a bit lame, Logitech has this strange fetish for LCD pannels that don't ever get support they need so the point of having one is non-existant.. so why put a bigger one on it? and then put a D-pad next to it (that's the only difference I can see from the G15..oh and its blue again /lame)

The headphones look nice though, so long as the sound nice. I might actually buy me a set since that's the only thing missing from my computer right now. But the rest IMO aren't improvements.. why don't they get rid of the LCD pannel, knock $50 of the price and add more buttons (because the original G15 had more buttons- just didn't use macro keys- those buttons btw are brilliant for Photoshop and 3D work )

Looks like I'm keeping my G15 and G9.

read carefully mr: the kb has selectable LED colour like the mouse. though i'm inclined to agree with you as to the overall benefit of the kb.

i still love my old reliable kb, and don't want to go through a retraining with new kb/mouse anytime soon.

that headset however......

G13 grabs my attention. I don't want a G15 but I do want an LED screen.

oh ok so they did put the control panel colouring in the keyboard this time. Probably got complaints about the orange colour. It is a bit hard to the eyes- reminds me of the old 1990s 386 screens that were orange.

Its a pretty useless feature though as I've had my g9 set on 1 colour for the past year

In lowlight, I've found the orange keys and panel far easier to read than the old blue one.

cant go past headphones, might have to pick up a a pair.

the whole set picture at the end looks like some type of time travel device btw

Coming from someone who apparently owns a G15, i find that a little odd...

These are just some of the apps i use:

And a whole thread on G15 apps:

Go nuts

pfft, Diagnostics tools?! who cares.. G15 comes with them anyway.. so they ain't as advanced, big deal.. but none of the apps actually work with GAMES excluding obviously WoW and a few other lame ass online games. But that's it..

all they do is display information that really doesn't add to the gaming experience, hence why they are USELESS!. Besides if you wanted to do diagnostics while gaming you'd run you bloody games in Windowed Mode .

Heaven forbid someone does something with their computer other than exlusively gaming Admitedly, they don't do much FOR gaming, most stats that you can pull off the LCD can be seen in game, however it's the addition/aid it makes while gaming that i enjoy.

The whole point of the screen is that you DON'T have to play in windowed mode I dunno how much the LCD has saved me from the ill-fated ALT+TAB, too many times to count i'm sure.

Wow. What a weird looking device. I'll stick with my G15 refresh, and the G9 I have. However the headphones catch my attention.

I used to run a great app that tracked all of CSS stats, including kill and death ratio over my entire playing period, broken down weapon by weapon and even down to how many hit points each weapon gave out in any given fire fight. Love stuff like that.

And what does it matter if WE want to run some cool apps on OUR keyboards? How is that going to affect YOU?

Def getting a G19

Cool Apps? what cool apps. Sure CSS one sounds ok.. but that's one game.. one game that is online.. and that's why I find it useless because it only appeals to Online games that the majority of people play.. they should call it the ONLINE gamers keyboard or Multiplayer Keyboard.. as its useless for Singleplayer. (I can think of some really cool uses for it in a Single Player game, like tracking how many hours you've played for.. helpful for Turnbased Games and Strategy games, because its bad to find you've just wasted 8 hours of your life in Civ4 and missed work )

Honestly I only bought the damn keyboard because I thought the keys would be easier to read and would be light on the touch. But it should be $50 cheaper minus the useless LCD which IMO is a gimmick that I don't need. I only got the LCD because they were out of the other Non-LCD gaming keyboards where I bought it from.

If it had a better fsck SDK more people would be willing to support it then I wouldn't have a problem with it.. I tried to mod it but found the SDK a bit too hard to get my head around, mainly passing variables out of the game and into the SDK, all its good for is diagnostics that came standard with the SDK anyway.

no wireless gaming mouse?

G15 usless? haha, thats hilarious ....
