Logitech adds budget mouse to game device line

Logitech expanded its gaming mouse family this morning, announcing the budget-priced G300. Available for $40 when it goes on sale in September, the G300 is now the most affordable mouse in Logitech's gaming lineup.

Buily upon a customizable laser sensor, the G300 can hit sensitivities up to 2,400 dpi. It also features nine programmable buttons, as well as the capability to store three user profiles, letting you transfer the mouse between PCs without losing your settings. Being a gaming mouse, it also has customizable lighting, with seven different color options.… Read more

Logitech's Mac-friendly keyboard one-ups Apple with solar charging

The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 that earned our Editor's Choice award earlier this month is now available in a Mac version replete with all the familiar keys you'd find on Apple keyboards--music and brightness controls, command keys, and an eject key in the corner.

Of course, it'll still have all the features that had us hooked the first time around, most obviously the dual solar panels that sit on either side of the logo on top of the keys. The ML2032 manganese button-cell rechargeable batteries draw perpetual power from artificial light sources, so it'll replenish … Read more

Logitech intros new iPad/Android Tablet Speaker

Logitech, which makes plenty of PC speakers, has now moved into the tablet arena with the aptly named Logitech Tablet Speaker.

In case you're wondering, this isn't a Bluetooth speaker. It actually clips on to your tablet and has a jack that plugs into the headphone port.

While it isn't wireless, at least it doesn't require a power adapter: the built-in rechargeable battery drives the speaker for up to 8 hours and charges via USB.

We got a quick look and listen to the speaker at a recent Logitech preview event and it certainly offered better … Read more

$20 Logitech Harmony 200 universal remote hits Radio Shack

If you thought $30 was too much to spend for a universal remote control, I've got good news: Logitech just released one that's 33 percent cheaper.

The new Logitech Harmony 200 looks to be a slightly downsized version of the Harmony 300, which first debuted in the spring of 2010. The new model controls three devices instead of four, and it loses a handful of buttons (the five channel favorites, track up/down, and "live" keys found on the 300 have been ditched). Otherwise, the 200 is programmed with the same Web-based software wizard found on … Read more

Logitech's keyboard case out for Galaxy Tab 10.1

Logitech is putting a new spin on its Zagg wireless keyboard case by offering a version made specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. The handy case/keyboard combo is currently available for preorder, and is due out in September for $99.

I've had some hands-on time with the case and can safely say that it is more than just a reshaped version of the iPad 2 case. There are more than a few shortcut keys that are specific to the Google Android Honeycomb OS. Across the top you'll find buttons for cut, paste, voice command, e-mail, and more.

Like the iPad 2 version, though, the case can be used as a stand to prop up your tablet in either portrait or landscape orientation. The keyboard works wirelessly over Bluetooth and recharges an internal battery over Micro-USB. To really get that mobile office experience, Logitech also offers an Android tablet Bluetooth mouse.

If you're a Tab 10.1 fan with some serious typing to do, I definitely recommend giving this a try. It's not as broadly practical as a generic Bluetooth keyboard, but the dedicated Android keys and the added advantage of protecting your tablet screen make it a great solution. … Read more

Logitech K750 Solar Keyboard review: Eco-conscious innovation, low-profile design

Logitech calls its $79 Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 an innovation in typing technology, and after using our evaluation model for a week, we certainly agree. The dual solar panels mounted on top of the superthin keyboard require zero user effort to keep the device charged and ready to type, and its low-profile keycaps and glossy black mirrored finish make it appear more like a laptop keyboard than its desktop counterparts.

Logitech's effort to push the K750's eco-consciousness also shows up at every … Read more

Logitech's Google TV box matches Apple TV at $99

When it was released last year, Google TV was touted as the next big thing. However, things haven't panned out quite as planned. The service has had a rough go of it, with buggy software and networks blocking access to content. But don't count it for dead quite yet.

Logitech, one of Google's partners in the launch of Google TV has slashed the price of its Revue with Google TV system from $249 to $99, matching the price of Apple TV and Roku's new Roku 2 XS. On top of the price drop, Logitech says the more affordable box will be upgradeable to Version 2 of Google TV that includes Android Market later this summer.

Here's what Logitech had to say in a short statement: … Read more
