Logitech is introducing a lot of new gaming accessories and gear at Logi Play 2024, which is happening right now. Of the many new offerings from Logitech, two keyboards and two mice caught our attention.
Let’s start with the G Pro X TKL Rapid Wired Gaming Keyboard, a keyboard that features magnetic analog switches, a first for the G Pro line. These switches have adjustable actuation points, rapid trigger functionality, and key priority. In short, the keyboard lets you customize how hard to press, has faster key press recognition, and the ability to prioritize certain keys when pressing two simultaneously.
You can use the multi-point feature in the G Hub keyboard customization software to assign more than one command to a key depending on how far it’s pressed. As the name suggests, this is a tenkeyless model (no number pad), and you can buy it in November for $170. The three available colors are black, white, and pink.
The next keyboard is the G915 X Series, a trio of new members of the G915 family (we reviewed the G915 TKL in 2020). All of the mechanical keyboards have a height of 23mm and redesigned galvanic switches with a 1.3mm actuation point. They retain the original volume roller, G key, and media buttons, but the Keycontrol feature allows for more macros, even allowing users to combine the G key with other keys.
The G915 X Series includes the G915 X Lightspeed ($230), G915 X Lightspeed TKL ($200), and G915 X Wired Gaming Keyboard ($180). The G915 X Lightspeed is the tenkeyless version of the G915 TKL, while the G915 TKL doesn’t support wireless connections, but is identical to the G915 TKL in almost every way. The Lightspeed models can come in black or white, but the wired model is only available in black. They’re all available right now.
Speaking of the mouse, the G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse is an upgrade to the Pro X Superlight and Pro X Superlight 2, both of which are favorites among current and former Engadget staffers. This new mouse is designed with the help of pro esports athletes, with a maximum of 44k DPI, 888 IPS acceleration, and stable 8kHz polling rate performance.
The Superlight 2 Dex Lightspeed has five buttons and Lightforce switches while weighing just 60 grams. It’s also compatible with Logitech’s PowerPlay wireless charging system. If you’re interested, you can get it right now in black, white, or pink for $160.
For those who prefer the original G Pro mouse, consider the Pro 2 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse, which is an improvement over the older model. The Hero 2 sensors on this one are rated for 32k DPO and over 500 IPS acceleration. The highest polling rate is 1kHz for the Pro 2 Lightspeed.
Like the first G Pro, it weighs 80 grams, perfect for gamers who prefer something a little more substantial. It doesn’t support wireless charging, but can work with the Pro Lightspeed receiver for 8kHz polling rates. The receiver will be available in October for just $30. This mouse is now available in black, white, and pink for $140.
The click-clacking sounds of a mechanical keyboard satisfy a lot of people, even if the prices of many such devices aren’t satisfactory. So it’s nice to see up to 63 percent off select Keychron models on Woot. For example, the Q2 wired keyboard is down 63 percent from $200 to $75.
But why stop there? New Woot customers can get an additional ten dollars off until the end of the month by using the code KEYCHRONTEN at checkout.
Woot is having a sale on Keychron mechanical keyboards until February 1. You can get up to 65 percent off these models. For example, the Q2 wired keyboard is $125 off at $75.
