Logitech announces four new gaming products in the Prodigy line
Logitech makes some of the best peripherals around, but their hardcore gaming items can be expensive for some people. The new Prodigy line of products gives games some great features and costs less.
You have two mice in the G403 Prodigy Wired Programmable Gaming Mouse and the G403 Prodigy Wireless Mouse. They both feature the PMW3366 sensor that works really well in gaming and have adjustable weights. There aren't any extra buttons but both have lighting on the wheel and on the logo. The wired one will run at $69.99 with the wireless model going for $99.99.
The G213 Prodigy RGB Gaming Keyboard is a colorful gaming keyboard in a standard layout with dedicated media buttons. It's also got some protection against crumbs and spills, which is pretty nice. There are five zones to customize your lighting and they can be adjusted with the Logitech Gaming Software. $69.99 will be what you can expect to pay for the G213.
Finally, the G231 Prodigy Gaming Headset looks pretty similar to Logitech's past gaming headsets. They have 40mm neodymium drivers, foldable mic, and in-line audio controls. This will also go for $69.99.
Availability will be this month if you're interested.
Logitech G Introduces New Prodigy Series
Two New Mice, Keyboard and Headset All Feature Gaming
Grade Performance, Extreme Comfort and Sleek Design
NEWARK, Calif. — Sept. 1, 2016 — Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) today announced the Prodigy series, a family of gaming gear that was designed to enhance the way you play. The new series, which includes two mice, a keyboard and a headset, all share the same attributes of high-performance technology, exceptional comfort, and a sleek and modern design.
“We love building products for hardcore gamers, and we’ll never give that up,” said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of Logitech G. “With the explosion of play across all ages and skill sets we knew we needed something more. Our new Logitech G Prodigy series gives all gamers access to our best technology. It’s gaming gear made exclusively for everyone.”
The Logitech G Prodigy series includes the Logitech® G403 Prodigy™ Gaming Mouse, Logitech® G403 Prodigy™ Wireless Gaming Mouse, Logitech® G213 Prodigy™ RGB Gaming Keyboard, and the Logitech® G231 Prodigy Headset.
Logitech G403 Prodigy Gaming Mice
The G403 Prodigy Gaming Mouse and Logitech G403 Prodigy Wireless Gaming Mouse deliver long-lasting comfort, thanks to their lightweight, ergonomic design. Rubber grips on the left and right sides give you added control, and the included 10g removable weight allows you to increase the weight if you prefer a heavier mouse.
Both mice are up to eight times faster than standard mice, which means when they are moved or clicked, the on-screen response is near-instantaneous. Each mouse has advanced button tensioning that helps keep the left and right mouse buttons primed to click, reducing the force required to click, delivering exceptional responsiveness. These mice feature the PMW3366, the world’s most advanced gaming mouse sensor, preferred by eSports pros worldwide. Exceptionally precise and consistent, the PMW3366 gives you the confidence of quicker responses and more accurate targeting. The mice can be used directly out-of-the-box, or with LGS you can fully configure the mouse to customize your lighting, buttons and DPI settings. Specifically, the G403 Prodigy Wireless Gaming Mouse is equipped with the same energy efficient, high performance wireless technology as the award-winning Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum. The highly optimized 2.4GHz wireless connection has 1ms report rate for incredible lag-free responsiveness that outperforms competitive solutions, including wired ones.
Logitech G213 Prodigy RGB Gaming Keyboard
Designed for gamers of all levels, the G213 Prodigy keyboard features a sleek, spill-resistant design that is comfortable and durable. An integrated palm rest and adjustable feet let you set your keyboard to the ideal position, so it feels perfect during extended gaming sessions. The G213 Prodigy keyboard brings together the best in tactile feel and performance with keys built specifically for gamers. Each key on the G213 Prodigy is tuned to deliver ultra-quick, responsive feedback that’s up to four times faster than standard keyboards. Plus, its anti-ghosting gaming matrix is tuned for optimal gaming performance, keeping you in control when you press multiple gaming keys simultaneously.
The G213 Prodigy keyboard features five RGB illumination zones that can be personalized from a spectrum of up to 16.8 million colors. Change colors to match your setup, specific games, or showcase your favorite colors, and synchronize lighting effects with other Logitech G devices using Logitech Gaming Software (LGS). Low light leakage around each keycap means more light comes through the lettering and less spills out around the keycaps, making it easier to find your keys in the dark.
Additionally, the dedicated media controls allow you to play, pause, skip and adjust the volume of your music with a touch of a button, without having to switch out of the game.
Logitech G231 Prodigy Gaming Headset
Using 40 mm neodymium drivers, the G231 Prodigy Gaming Headset delivers high-quality stereo sound that keeps you immersed in your PC or console game from start to finish. The earcups are covered with carefully selected sports performance cloth for a comfortable, soft touch even after hours of use. And they slip off easily for washing to keep the headset in top shape. The earcups are also designed to be slim and light, without skimping on audio quality.
A crystal-clear unidirectional boom mic can be positioned to pick up your voice alone, ensuring that you will be heard loudly and clearly. And when not in use, the mic can be folded back into the headphones. In-line audio controls for volume and microphone mute are within easy reach on the connection cable.
