Logitech Announces Gaming Keyboard, Mouse

By Geoff Duncan Updated August 1, 2007

Peripheral and accessory maker Logitech has announced a new set of input devices for the PC gaming crowd: the G9 Laser Mouse and an updated G15 Gaming Keyboard. The G9 Laser Mouse features customizable grips and onboard memory to let gmers really get a grip on their entertainment, while the G15 Gaming Keyboard ships with built-in support for popular games and offers an exclusive LCD screen that displays crucial game info.

“Like professional athletes, PC gamers need equipment tailored to their body and their individual playing style,” said Rory Dooley, Logitech senior VP and general manager of the Control Devices business unit, in a release. “Gamers tell us over and over that they love to tweak their gear to achieve optimum performance. [..] Whether playing a first-person shooter game or a multi-player fantasy game, the G9 mouse, along with the newly refreshed Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard, gives PC gamers a winning combination.”

The G9 Laser Mouse comes with two interchangeable grips, dubbed Wide Load and Precision. The Wide Load is designed for long-term comfort and support, with a soft stin-y feel, while the Precision Grip offers a compact shape for fingertip control, and sure, DryGrip surface. The G9 also offers customized weight tuning and distribution by inserting up to four additional weights in a spring-loaded weight cartridge in the bottom of the mouse. Gamers can also create game-specific profiles for the mouse, and take their personalized settings with them to other computers using up to five profiles stored in the mouse’s own onboard memory. Mouse LED colors can also be linked to individual profiles.

The upgraded G15 Gaming Keyboard comes with built-in support for popular PC Games (including World of Warcraft,Quake Wars, and Battlefield 2142—sadly Solitaire was omitted)—the support enables the keyboard to display crucial information on its own integrated LCD panel. The G15 also offers six programmable macro keys with three modes each, and features backlit keys for dimly-lit gaming environments. There’s also a game mode switch that disables the Windows key, preventing players from accidently quitting their games during a frenzied firefight.

The G9 Laser Mouse and G15 Gaming Keyboard should be available in September; both will carry a suggested retail price of $99.99.

The Nintendo Switch is one of the most popular consoles Nintendo has ever produced, with a wide variety of games to choose from and plenty of unique features. We’ve already gotten to play new entries across the Zelda, Super Mario, and Pokémon series on Nintendo Switch, but there are still plenty of great games on the way for the hybrid console. These include exclusive games developed internally by Nintendo, as well as third-party titles and ports of games that are also available on other platforms.

There are lots of games to look forward to on the platform. These are the best upcoming Nintendo Switch games for 2023 and beyond. Of course, some titles without release windows could skip the Switch entirely and wind up on Nintendo's next-gen console.
Confirmed 2023 releases
The games listed below either have 100% confirmed release dates or solid release windows that we expect them to hit this year. Anything that's up in the air due to more vague launch predictions or previous delays will be listed under the following header.

HP Victus 15L -- $520, was $800

The HP Victus 15L is a good starter gaming PC. It has the 13th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, along with 8GB of RAM and the Intel Arc A380 graphics card. You also get a 256GB SSD for storage. If you're not familiar with the graphics card, it's roughly on par with the Radeon RX 6400 or the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650.
