Logitech Rolls Out New Gaming Peripherals

The new G3 Laser Mouse and G11 Keyboard are the latest in Logitech's G-series line of computer gaming devices.

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 “DryGrip” 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.”
