• Logitech's new foldable mouse comes with 30 days' battery life and promises to reduce muscle strain
• Only one-quarter of professionals say thet carry a mouse to public spaces - even though three-quarters actually use one
• Mobi Fold is available from $79.99 / £69.99 and works with most major operating systems

Logitech has launched its first-ever foldable mouse, designed to help hybrid workers and professionals who find themselves working while travelling.

The company says the new Logitech Mobi Fold plugs an 'on-the-go productivity gap' where workers might prefer to use a separate mouse, but leave it at home over portability concerns.

Thanks to the folding mechanism, it can collapse down into nearly half its size, to make it easier to carry in laptop sleeves, travel organizers and other small bags.

Besides making it easier to fit into small spaces, the action of folding it what controls the mouse's power too, with automatic power-on upon unfolding and automatic power-off upon folding. This feature means it doesn't need any additional buttons, but more importantly, it makes power management easier on-the-go to extend battery life.

And on that note, it'll go up to 30 days between charges or, in one single minute, it'll gain up to 22 hours' battery life.

And the problem is real – so Logitech will have you believe. Three-quarters (72%) of professionals own a mouse, but only one-quarter (26%) use one when working in public spaces.

The company will also have you believe that its Mobi Fold mouse reduces muscle strain by 22% compared with using a laptop's built-in trackpad.

In an announcement, Logitech boasted of the mouse's Adaptive Touch Scrolling feature, which automatically balances precision and speed depending on what the user is navigating. Users can also customize two programmable buttons via the Logi Options+ App for things like switching apps or taking screenshots.

It'll also connect to up to three devices via Bluetooth and works across all major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Linux, iPadOS and Android. ChromeOS and Android users also benefit from near-instant pairing with the Mobi Fold becoming the first input device to receive Google's Fast Pair certification.

It's available to buy now, with consumer models commanding a $79.99 / £69.99 price tag and the business version costing $89.99 / £74.99 due to some business-focused additions, like Sync support for streamlined IT monitoring.

• Logitech unveils a brand new folding mouse
• The Mobil Fold is small and durable
• It promises more than a month of battery life

I’ve had all manner of computer mice over the years, but by far my favorite is a travel mouse. They come in so many different shapes, sizes, and configurations. I fondly remember a promotional USB travel mouse, perhaps no bigger than my thumb, that featured a spring-loaded retractable cable. When that died after multiple road trips, I switched to a Microsoft Surface Arc Bluetooth travel mouse. It was darn near perfect. In travel mode, it was flat, and when you wanted to use it, you bent it to a perfect, palm-hugging curve. That one died after years of business travel.

So you can imagine my excitement when Logitech showed me its new Mobi Fold ($79.99 / £69.99 / AU$129.95). As the name suggests, it is a truly foldable Bluetooth travel mouse.

The company claims that while roughly 76% of us own mice, only 26% take them on the road. The palm-sized Mobi Fold is small enough to slip into almost any pocket and join you in your wanderlust.

When folded, the Logitech Mobile Fold resembles in size and shape a screenless Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. It unfolds to a roughly 60-degree curve that neatly fits under your palm. It has a pair of silent clickers — all the better to not annoy your fellow passengers — and between them is a wide touch-sensitive button that you can use to scroll through on-screen content quickly or a line at a time.

The body is covered in a soft rubber material that feels good against your skin, and Logitech claims that Mobi Fold is durable and ready to accompany you on the road for up to 15 years.

In the near-term, battery life is rated for 33 days on a charge, but if you’re in a pinch, a minute of charge can net you 22 hours of operation. You also don’t have to worry about the battery running down when the mouse is folded up in your backpack or pocket. It automatically powers on when unfolded and shuts off when folded up.

If you regularly switch between, say, a desktop, laptop, and tablet, you’ll be pleased with the Mobi Fold’s quick-switch capabilities for up to three devices. There's also the Logitech Plus companion app that you can use to customize buttons to open certain apps, take screenshots, copy and paste, and perform other operations.

I got a chance to try the mouse with a few different systems and apps. It doesn’t need a special surface or mouse pad to work, and I found it comfortable and responsive. I folded and unfolded it repeatedly and noticed that the fold feels firm, not flimsy. There’s enough tension that you won’t worry about the two halves flopping about.

Yes, I even accidentally dropped the ultra-portable mouse, and it survived without issue.

Mobi Fold comes in four colors: Graphite, Off-white, Lilac, and Sand, and should start shipping this week.

Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike: Two-minute review

I should probably preface this review by saying that I've long been a fan of Logitech's mice, having used a G502 Lightspeed Wireless as my daily driver for more than five years. In fact, I love it so much that when mine finally gave up the ghost back in 2024, I literally just bought another identical model.

If you're familiar with my work, you might suspect a slight degree of bias in this review – and I'm sure that the coveted five-star rating above won't assuage those suspicions.

But honestly? I wasn't expecting much from the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike. The design is pretty simple, just a near-symmetrical chassis with two thumb buttons and a basic scroll wheel, plus a mildly futuristic aesthetic that you'll either find appealing or obnoxious. I've seen a hundred mice like this before, I thought upon unboxing it for the first time.

That was before I knew about HITS. The 'haptic inductive trigger system' is the main selling point of the Pro X2 Superstrike, and it's really something special: user-tunable actuation for the two main mouse buttons, with rapid trigger reset points to minimize latency. In other words, you can personally tweak the tactility of these clickers to exactly how you want them to feel, and it's frankly awesome. It's reminiscent of the satisfying feedback of hall effect buttons, and the mechanics behind it are similar as well, but I'll get into that later on in this review.

HITS aside (but really, these buttons absolutely rock), the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike is just a staggeringly competent piece of hardware design. The rounded, symmetrical shape is very comfortable in the hand, and the total package weight of just 61g combined with smooth-gliding UHMWPE feet makes it feel great to use even on lower sensitivities. But with a 44,000 DPI sensor and 8K polling rate mode, it's well-equipped for fans of twitchy online shooters.

I'm just gonna say it: this is straight up one of the best gaming mice money can buy right now. Speaking of money...

Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike: Price & availability

• How much does it cost? $179.99 / £159.99 / AU$299.95
• When is it available? Available now
• Where can you get it? Available globally

Yeah, this hurts a little. Clocking in at $179.99 / £159.99 / AU$299.95, there's no avoiding the fact that a lot of PC gamers will be priced out of enjoying the perfect clicks of the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike.

It's similarly priced to the Razer Deathadder V4 Pro, which we featured in our list of the best mice, and is a comparable premium esports-focused mouse with a simple, lightweight design – though it uses optical switches instead, which are durable and responsive but a lot noisier.

However – and it's not often that I say this – I do actually think this is a product that manages to fully justify its price tag. The Superstrike is something entirely new, but even aside from that, it's simply an excellent product in almost every way.

Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike: Design

• Simple but comfortable design
• Robust build quality
• No left-handed version

I suspect that the ultra-modern design of the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike will be a turn-off for some potential buyers, but I like it. No rainbow RGB here, just a lone LED indicating your DPI preset. Stamping the product name all over the device makes it feel like something out of a utilitarian corporate dystopia – a vibe I'm fine with for my hardware aesthetic, though I'd rather steer clear from a societal standpoint.

Aesthetics aside, the chassis design isn't anything particularly earth-shattering, but you don't mess with a proven winner. The shape is essentially the same as Logitech G's previous Pro X Superlight 2, a symmetrical design with a gentle curve across it that fits comfortably in the palm. I've got pretty big hands, so I asked my (smaller-handed) partner to give it a try, and he reported that it felt very comfortable to use as well. I might say that the shape is somewhat better suited to claw- and fingertip-style grips, but as a palm-grip user, I found it comfortable even during extended gaming sessions.

Despite weighing barely more than 60 grams, the Pro X2 Superstrike doesn't feel flimsy in the slightest. The whole thing feels well-constructed, with a physical power switch and magnetic cover on the underside that conceals a slot to store the USB dongle. The feet are UHMWPE, tough and low-friction, and a small cutout at the front of the mouse houses the USB-C port for charging or wired use.

The main buttons have a weighty, tactile feel to them, while the scroll wheel offers firm rotation and a quiet but robust click. The side buttons are a bit softer, but still have a decent level of physical feedback and are well-spaced – I often like to map actions to these thumb buttons in shooters, and I didn't experience any misclicks. The mouse is very slightly front-heavy, presumably due to the HITS switch assembly underneath the two main buttons, and while I didn't have any issues with this, users who regularly lift their mouse clear of the mat may find that it requires a bit of getting used to.

The sensor is the Logitech G HERO 2 sensor, found in a wide range of the brand's premium gaming mice. It supports up to 44,000 DPI with up to 88G acceleration registration, and I can attest from using other mice with the same sensor that it's very reliable. For those seeking the absolute best low-latency performance, the box includes an adapter for you to connect the dongle to the power cable and place it directly on your desk, but it worked fine just plugged into the back of my PC, too.

The matte plastic shell does a good job of repelling fingerprint smudges (even from my sweaty hands during a heatwave that hit the UK while I was reviewing the Pro X2 Superstrike), and the casing is generally sturdy. It feels like a product that was built to last. Honestly, my only criticism here is the lack of a left-handed model; I'm a southpaw myself, and while I've adapted to using a mouse with my right hand, the same can't be said of every left-hander out there.

Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike: Performance

• HITS switches are truly phenomenal
• Fast and smooth movement is great for shooters
• Logitech G Hub software works well

Alright, let me talk about these switches properly for a moment. The way HITS works is essentially the same principle as hall effect keyboard switches, using metal plates and copper coils carrying an electromagnetic current with an analog sensor that precisely measures the click input.

Now, this means that you get incredibly fast input response, on par with the optical switches that are becoming more popular in gaming mice, but the real takeaway here is the adjustable actuation. Because you're not pressing a physical switch but rather moving a bit of metal up and down, you can use Logitech's G Hub software to manually adjust the actuation point. If you want hair-trigger actuation, it's yours. Prefer only firm, deep clicks to register? It can do that too, and everything in between.

The HITS design also allows you to adjust the trigger reset points (put simply, how soon the button can register another input when you start to lift your finger after clicking), and with no physical switch involved, the Pro X2 Superstrike allows for ultra-rapid-fire inputs. If you're using a semi-automatic gun, the only limit on fire rate is whatever the game itself imposes.

Without an actual switch to click underneath these buttons, there's no tactile feedback. In fact, when I first received the Pro X2 Superstrike and clicked the buttons before turning it on, I was immediately worried that it would feel horrible to use. That's where the 'haptic' part of 'haptic inductive trigger system' comes in: when you click, the button releases a tiny vibration that mimics the click input of a traditional mouse. It sounds silly, but it genuinely works - and like the actuation and trigger resets, you can adjust this too, or even turn it off if you're so inclined. But I wouldn't – it's really quite good once you get used to it.

The best part? They're ridiculously quiet. If you're noise-sensitive or you're a late-night gamer like me, a near-silent mouse is a genuine boon. In fact, Logitech, if you're reading this: please make a G502 with HITS (and then send it directly to my home address). I adore the Superstrike, but I do miss my thumb rest for everyday work.

Alright, enough about the HITS. Overall, the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike feels excellent for gaming, gliding smoothly across my mouse mat and delivering precise, latency-free inputs thanks to the Logitech Lightspeed dongle.

The G Hub software gives you plenty of sliders to slide, letting you adjust the usual settings like sensitivity and polling rate, as well as create profiles for individual games depending on your preferences. The 8K polling mode is something of a gimmick that likely won't make much of a difference to all but the sweatiest esports lovers, but it's there if you want it (though it's oddly not available in wired mode; you have to use the included dongle).

I stuck with the defaults for most of the games I tested, but I did make custom profiles for Valorant and Marathon to make the most of the super-reactive HERO 2 sensor. You can also map button input combos as macros, which was particularly useful for adjusting the DPI manually, as there's no dedicated DPI button here.

Did it make me better at shooting? No, my aim is still aggressively mid, but I certainly felt better playing with the Pro X2 Superstrike. After tweaking the HITS actuation to accept feather-touch inputs with an equally low reset point and strong haptic feedback, plinking hostile players at range with a precision rifle in Marathon felt gratifying.

The battery life is also solid, with Logitech claiming 90 hours of use on a single charge. I found this held up; I charged the mouse to full after unboxing it, and it was still kicking after a week of work and gaming.

Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike: Also consider

How I tested the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike

I traded out my usual Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless for the Pro X2 Superstrike for a total of eight days while putting together this review, and guess what... I'm still using it. Not for everyday work (I value a thumb rest too much for that), but it's currently perched on the corner of my desk for whenever I load up Marathon or Warframe.

During my eight-day testing period, I used the Superstrike for both my regular day-to-day work for TechRadar (which, in mouse-specific terms, mostly involves a lot of clicking on links and highlighting text) and for everything I use my PC for during my off hours. This is mostly gaming, with a bit of mucking about in Discord and Scrivener for personal projects. Aside from the games I've already mentioned in this review, I also tested the Pro X2 Superstrike in Overwatch, Apex Legends, and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (yes, I know I'm late to that particular party – I'll get around to Borderlands 4 eventually).

First reviewed May 2026

• Logitech unveils new Signature Comfort Plus mouse and keyboard series
• New equipment features built-in cushioning for comfier all-day usage
• Also includes new AI tools, customizations and more

Logitech has unveiled a new flagship mouse and keyboard with an addition so simple you almost can't believe it's never been done before - a cushion.

The company has unveiled the Logitech Signature Comfort Plus mouse and keyboard, its latest addition for home and work, offering extra comfort and efficiency on the tasks that matter most.

Available from June 2026 in graphite, off-white, and black, the Signature Comfort Plus palm cushion mouse is on sale for $49.99, with a combo including the keyboard osting $109.99 respectively.

Comfort Plus

Logitech says its new release looks to offer hybrid workers a smoother experience when transitioning between home and office locations, noting that now the two are often located in the same place, the last thing users need is technology complicating life further.

More comfortable technology has always been a keen consideration for business users, with reports of RSI and other conditions soaring in recent years.

To combat this, Logitech has developed the Logitech Signature Comfort Plus series - including its first mouse with a built-in palm cushion.

Situated at the base of the mouse, the company says its cushion has a sculpted shape to naturally fit your hand, alongside rubber side grips and a thumb support area which all makes the device a lot more pleasant to use.

This goes alongside its existing customizable AI tools, allowing users to map specific functions to the mouse's side buttons and haptic feedback functions.

Logitech also says the mouse will work with nearly any OS around today, and can switch between up to three devices instantly, with no need to connect via a dongle.

Logitech has released embedded cushion keyboards before (I'm currently using one right now), but its new edition comes with a few extra perks and tweaks to make it even more comfortable to use.

This includes a new curved design to allow for a more natural typing position, adjustable tilt legs to customize the angle of typing, and a dual-foam palm rest for improved comfort.

The keyboard also features a dedicated AI key for fast access to your tool of choice, as well as dedicated video chat keys to quickly launch and edit conferencing tools, alongside new smart actions to automate actions with a single click or keystroke.

Logitech has also continued its bid to use recyclable materials throughout, with the Comfort Plus plastic components containing between 49% and 77% certified post-consumer recycled plastic, and are designed for long battery life, reducing the frequency of battery changes.

“People now spend long, full days at their desks, constantly moving between tasks, screens, and personal moments,” said Art O'Gnimh, General Manager of Mice & Keyboard Solutions Group at Logitech.

“These are tools that don’t ask for attention, they give it back, removing small distractions and adding comfort so everything feels smoother and more effortless.”

• Logitech MX Master 4 adds Windows 11 Advanced Haptics
• Addition brings extra feedback for users across a series of tasks
• More features will be coming soon

If you've ever felt that you aren't truly connected to the documents, spreadsheets and slide decks you produce at work, then good news - help is on the way.

Logitech has revealed that its flagship MX Master 4 mouse will now be integrated with Microsoft's Advanced Haptics for Windows 11, giving you all the extra feedback you could ever want.

The news means Windows 11 users can feel subtle vibration feedback during previously mundane everyday actions like snapping and resizing windows, or aligning objects in PowerPoint.

Haptics up in your mouse

Logitech says there's no extra software upgrades or downloads required to enable the new capabilities, just a quick firmware update in its Logi Options+ platform, using the latest updated Windows 11 version.

Existing users can access the feature now, but there will also be new units shipping in Autumn 2026 which will support the feature out-of-the box, with new support for additional haptic feedback coming to both Windows 11 and third-party applications soon.

“With advanced haptics in Windows 11, everyday interactions are more responsive, clear, and natural,” says Dave Dame, Senior Director of Human Centered Design, Microsoft. “MX Master 4 delivers that experience from day one, extending interactions beyond the screen and setting a new bar for how hardware and software come together.”

Released in September 2025, the MX Master 4 is undoubtedly Logitech's best mouse to date - I've been using one for several months now.

Haptics were a large selling point at the launch, promising to give users more interaction with their accessory across a range of tasks. Situated under where the user's thumb rests, the mouse's haptic pad can be customized to provide interaction on a variety of tasks, from scrolling to selection and navigation.

“Logitech is at the forefront of haptic innovation and, by working in close collaboration with Microsoft, we ensure our users are the first to experience the next generation of productivity," says Art O’Gnimh, General Manager of Mouse and Keyboard Solutions at Logitech.

"We integrated advanced haptic hardware into the MX Master 4 ahead of the curve, anticipating a shift toward more immersive operating systems. With the launch of Windows 11, that engineering foresight pays off. We have delivered a zero-friction, meaningful experience that remains the only one of its kind in the industry.”

Drawing in 3D inside an Apple Vision Pro with the fairly excellent Logitech Muse accessory is making me rethink what I know about art.

I've been drawing for most of my life, and I'm an okay, if not passable, draftsman. As a child, I worked with crayons, graduating to pens and pencils in my teens, and charcoal and paint in college. In the late 1980s, I started drawing on the computer using a mouse, and later a Wacom tablet and digital stylus. For the last dozen years or so I've been drawing on the iPad and with an Apple Pencil.

When VR arrived, I tried a few 3D drawing apps, but struggled with the interfaces and, especially, using the controllers to place lines in virtual three-dimensional space.

I've even tried it in the Vision Pro, usually pinching my thumb and index finger to indicate where the point of my virtual drawing implement is supposed to be; it's never been a great experience.

Now, though, the arrival of the Logitech Muse ($129.95 / £119.95 / A$229.95) for Vision Pro is set to change the creative experience in Apple's spatial computing headset.

The cigar-sized, Bluetooth digital drawing accessory, which arrived on my desk last week, months after Logitech first announced it, is custom-built for Vision Pro, and can work with a variety of native visionOS apps.

Roughly the same length as a standard Apple Pencil, the all-black Logitech Muse is considerably thicker, but it achieves some level of ergonomic comfort thanks to its light weight and tapered cylindrical shape. There are two buttons on one side and one large button on the back end, which I only used in combination with one of the other buttons for pairing with my Vision Pro.

Getting started

Setup is straightforward. I charged it via the exposed USB-C port, and when it was done I held those two buttons down until the Logitech Muse buzzed into life.

Inside my Vision Pro (M5 edition), I navigated to the Bluetooth settings, located the Muse in the listing, and paired it with the headset.

Logitech recommended a few different test apps, including Spatial Analogue, an almost CAD-level project-based design app for collaborating on complex projects. In it, I could use the Muse to mark up designs. I drew some straight lines in 3D space, but none of it got my creative juices flowing.

I gave Crayon a shot, but it kept telling me to put down the Logitech Muse for better control of the interface. Finally, I loaded AirDraw, a powerful 3D art tool that seems almost perfectly built for the Logitech Muse.

Drawing in space

Your experience drawing within AriDraw is defined largely by the menu choices you make. You can have smooth, continuous lines that float in space, for instance, or ones that react to gravity and drop to the floor as soon as you stop drawing.

To start drawing a line, you hold one of the two side buttons. In AirDraw, the one nearer the plastic tip created a thinner line, and the larger button made a larger blob. AirDraw also provides ample controls to choose line thickness, which was also, in my experience, defined by the speed of my stroke. I appreciated that my gold ink blob appeared to emanate directly from the Logitech Muse tip. I tried, by the way, to move quickly enough to keep my lines relatively thin.

Many of the lines, colors, and line skins offer highly reflective surfaces. If you look closely, you'll notice that the lines are reflecting your environment, as the Vision Pro's many cameras deliver real-world details to the app.

Drawing in three dimensions is a challenge, especially when I switched from drawing a rudimentary gold cage to trying my hand at drawing a human head.

First, I switched the color to a non-reflective black, and then chose the thinnest line thickness. To help orient myself, I held the Muse over a tabletop and drew a circle that would serve as the head's base.

I forced myself to step back and stop looking at the lines from a typical forward perspective and started looking from side to side, and from the top down. This let me see my project as more of the wireframe I hoped to construct.

Next, I drew a series of vertical lines trailing from that base to the neck and then to the back, sides, and front of the head. Next, I moved to one side and drew an ear, and then circled 180 degrees and drew another ear on the opposite side.

It was not great, but as some of it started coming together I got excited, realizing that if I thought and worked differently, I could make 3D VR art, and I do credit Logitech Muse with the result.

There's no way I could have ever achieved even this rather messy result by pinching my fingers and tracing out lines; my vision would've been partially occluded by my fist. The pen made it easier to see where the digital ink would appear, and whether or not I was achieving the desired result.

I'm not saying that the Logitech Muse finally makes the Vision Pro worth it — the headset is still far too expensive for most consumers. However, digital artists looking to push the envelope, and perhaps create one-of-a-kind 3D artwork, might be intrigued — and if they give it a try, I'd wager they won't want to stop.

• Logitech has revealed a new wireless gaming headset, the G325 Lightspeed
• It costs $79.99 / £69.99 and offers high resolution 24-bit audio
• It's available now via the Logitech website and other retailers

Gaming hardware brand Logitech G has unveiled its latest wireless gaming headset, the Logitech G325 Lightspeed.

Retailing for just $79.99 / £69.99, it's a surprisingly affordable new model that's intended to deliver premium features at a relatively modest price. Its most significant specs include high resolution 24-bit audio and seamless built-in microphone.

It's designed to let you "play and chill anywhere" according to the brand, with a comfortable and stylish design that looks more like a pair of music listening cans than you average gaming gear. It's available in three colorways too: lilac, black, and white.

In terms of battery life, you can expect more than 24 hours of continuous use from a single charge. This is far behind the staggering 300+ hours offered by more premium alternatives like the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless, but certainly not bad for the price.

It supports multiple platforms including PC, consoles, and mobile via the Lightspeed wireless dongle or Bluetooth 5.2. On-headset controls should allow you to switch between the dongle and Bluetooth effortlessly, letting you quickly swap between a gaming session and unwinding with music.

“We want all gamers to have premium experiences,” said Logitech G general manager Ujesh Desai on the launch. “That's why we packed so much into the new G325 headset. It's got a super comfortable design, long battery life, great audio, and works across PC, console, and mobile. It's designed for gamers who love to play across a variety of platforms.”

You can buy the Logitech G325 Lightspeed now via the Logitech website, or at Argos if you're in the UK.

Great value, but competition is strong

The $79.99 / £69.99 price tag is certainly on the lower end by Logitech G standards, but it does mean the G325 Lightspeed will be up against some pretty stiff competition in the gaming headset space.

Favorite wired models like the HyperX Cloud III or Razer BlackShark V2 X come in around that price, and are easy to find for substantially less on sale if you're willing to give up wireless connectivity.

Logitech's own G435 Lightspeed is also a viable alternative, as it's wireless and frequently discounted to around the $50 / £30 mark. You lose a significant chunk of battery life compared to the G325 Lightspeed, but still get a similarly attractive design and the multi-platform compatibility.

I'm certainly keen to spend some time with this new arrival to see how it stacks up against its peers.

Sometimes it's easy to forget how important a good computer mouse is - for many of us, it's still the best way to interact with our devices, whether that's a laptop, mini PC or even a full-blown workstations.

Logitech's MX Master series has long been a standard-setter for the workplace mouse, and I've been a fan for years, owning both the original MX Master and MX Master 3 devices.

Having recently gone hands-on for an initial preview of the new MX Master 4 device, announced in October 2025, I've now been able to try it out for a bit longer - so how does it stand up to the test?

Hands-on

Well, the short answer is yes. As mentioned, I've used several generations of the MX Master series in the past, and this new model is a major step forward in terms of comfort and features.

The smooth rubber surface is genuinely pleasant to lay your hand on top of, and doesn't attract dust or dirt during the day. It feels almost moulded to your hand's grip, and you won't finish up a working day with stiff fingers or a sore wrist.

The MX Master 4 glides over whichever surface you're using - I've tried it out on a variety of mousemats of varying materials and thickness, as well as my own desk top and dining room table, and it's responsive and quick to adjust in every case. It's also remarkably light and nimble, despite being arguably larger than your basic office mouse, meaning it won't take up too much room on your desk, or in a bag when transported around.

Excitingly, the MX Master 4 is the first model to feature haptic feedback, giving users more interaction with their accessory thanks to a new pad where your thumb rests.

The feature can be customized to provide interaction on a variety of tasks, from scrolling to selection and navigation - and I can confirm it does give you that extra nudge - although the first few times it happens, you will be surprised.

The other new addition is the new Actions Ring feature, a new overlay tool which allows users to map a number of tasks or functions, to be displayed with a single click, lowering the need for repetitive mouse movements such as scrolling through menus or interfaces.

I'm a pretty active user of a range of common office software, so thought this tool would be a great addition for me - but to be honest, after an initial burst of activity (and quite a few accidental misclicks) I did turn it off - but it might be a real time-saver for other users.

The MX Master 4 is available in Graphite and Pale Grey globally, and Black and Graphite Charcoal in North America and Europe, currently priced at $119.99/€129.99.

• Logitech unveils two new business webcams
• New Rally AI Camera and AI Camera Pro offer AI smarts and more
• The devices can even be built into your office wall

If you’ve ever wanted to truly dominate a meeting room or video conference space, then Logitech’s new business webcams could be just the ticket.

The company has revealed its new Rally AI Camera and Rally AI Camera Pro, two new flagship business-focused webcams which use on-device AI capabilities to give an all-round better user experience.

This includes better tracking, multi-camera views, and even new mounting options which can blend into your meeting spaces seamlessly.

Rally AI Cameras

Logitech says the new devices merge the worlds of consumer and business-focused designs, bringing a high quality video conferencing experience boosted by its new AI tools and features.

This includes RightSight 2, its new video framing and optics offering, which uses AI to improve the flow of meetings, especially when multiple speakers or participants are involved.

Logitech says it was inspired by film-making techniques to add the ability to adapt in real time and automatically frame an individual speaker or group, or arrange the participants in a grid, with setups such as Zoom Intelligent Director and Microsoft Teams also now able to employ multiple camera views to create more immersive interactions that feel less like a dull business meeting.

Both of the new products feature a custom-designed lens with a 1-inch imaging sensor and a 115º field of view, which means even in low-light conditions, the whole room is covered, and individual close-ups are as sharp as they can be. For those looking for an even more premium experience, the Rally AI Camera Pro offers an additional optical camera with 15x hybrid zoom, meaning presenters and presentations alike can be captured and broadcast to colleagues across the globe as if they were in the room.

Setup is as easy as plugging in a USB-C cable, and management and workspace planning is covered as the Rally AI Cameras detect when, how many, and how often people use specific rooms, with that data uploaded into Logitech Sync, allowing office managers or bosses more insight into room planning and scheduling.

And for the first time, Logitech is offering an in-wall mounting option, meaning the hardware can blend into the room, rather than sticking out and being intrusive, with an automatic shutter which clearly indicates when the camera is off - but there is also the option to still mount on the ceiling, TV display, or on the wall.

"Rally AI Cameras are designed to power the hybrid-first office, where the tech fades into the background to let the digital and physical worlds blend," said Henry Levak, VP of Product, Logitech for Business.

“From small walls to town halls, they provide a cinematic experience for meeting attendees while quietly solving problems that IT managers, Facilities teams, and Workplace Experience professionals face every day.”

Both units will be available in spring and summer 2026 in graphite and off-white themes, with the Logitech Rally AI Camera Pro costing $2,999 and Rally AI Camera $2,499.

• Logitech report finds noise is the biggest productivity killer for in-office workers
• Poor air quality is also slowing them down
• Over 70% of workers admit to being distracted in the office - so what's to be done

Workers are already speaking up against returning to the office, citing reduced in-office productivity and the loss of flexibility, and new research from Logitech backs that up – office distractions are said to be costing UK businesses more than 330 million hours per year.

Nearly three in four (71%) participants agreed office distractions reduce productivity, with a quarter of them losing at least an hour a week due to poor "productivity climate," such as noise, lighting, air quality, or outdated tech.

In fact, noise was found to be the biggest productivity killer overall, with loud talking (43%) and loud typing (21%) being particular bugbears.

Offices aren't exactly the right environment for productivity

More than two-thirds (69%) of the 2,000 hybrid and office-based workers surveyed have argued with colleagues over noise levels, and more than half (51%) have even moved seats or gone home because of office chatter.

Besides the obvious, workers are also being affected by air quality. Stuffy meeting rooms and poor ventilation are key productivity killers here.

Looking ahead, it's clear that companies need to do more to improve the in-office environment if they're to be enacting mass return-to-office mandates. Around one-third each want fresh air ventilation systems (32%), more natural light (32%) and soundproof booths (31%).

"The modern office must reflect the evolving needs of the people it hosts and the work that goes on inside it," Logitech Head of Workplace Experience David Houseman shared.

The report also alludes to the use of biohacking to improve conditions, which involves using data, science, and technology to optimize the workplace.

Logitech's findings come around a year after the company launched Spot, a $499 office air quality monitor.

• Two of Logitech’s Mac apps stopped working due to expired certificates
• This broke custom settings for users’ mice and keyboards
• Patches have been released that should fix the issue

If you’ve suddenly found that your Logitech apps on macOS simply don’t work, you’re not alone. Frustrated users have taken to social media to complain about mice losing their custom settings and apps stuck in endless boot loops, and now Logitech has responded by calling the move an “inexcusable mistake.”

The problem is remarkably simple: it appears that Logitech accidentally allowed the certificates for its Logi Options+ and G Hub apps to expire. Without a valid certificate, they couldn’t run on macOS, preventing anyone from using them and breaking custom settings for people’s devices.

That had wide-ranging effects for users of Logitech’s popular mice, keyboards and other computing accessories. Without access to Options+ and G Hub, you’re unable to customize the settings of your peripheral devices. That means no keyboard macros, no mouse sensitivity adjustments, no anything. That's a frustrating experience, and an entirely avoidable one on Logitech’s part.

Logitech has publicly acknowledged its role in the problem, with company representative ATXsantucci writing on Reddit: “We dropped the ball here. This is an inexcusable mistake. We’re extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused.”

A cautionary tale

How do you rectify the issue? Well, chances are you’ve had an email from Logitech if you’ve registered your email address with the company. This message reads as follows:

“There is a known issue with G HUB and Logi Options+ software that causes both apps to stop working on macOS. To fix this, please visit the link below to download the updated installer and find more information. Your settings will be preserved, and both apps will function properly after the update. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

The link points to a support article on Logitech’s website. There, the company advises users to download patches that can restore the apps’ certificates. Importantly, Logitech points out that the expired certificate also affects its in-app updater, so trying to update an affected app will not work.

Additionally, Logitech warns that uninstalling and reinstalling the affected apps could result in you losing your app settings. Instead of attempting to do that, Logitech says you should just download and run the patches.

Thankfully, your app customizations will not be lost if you run the patch, so you won’t need to recreate all those carefully configured macros and settings after following this route. The patch works for the last four versions of macOS: macOS Tahoe, macOS Sequoia, macOS Sonoma and macOS Ventura. Logitech says a fix for older editions “will be made available at a later time.”

This whole fiasco just goes to show what can go wrong with just a touch of carelessness. Logitech should have been well aware that its app certificates were about to expire, yet this apparent lapse led to a heap of irritation and bad press being directed its way. If nothing else, it’s a cautionary tale for software developers everywhere.

Astro A20 X: Two-minute review

The Astro A20 X is basically a jazzed-up version of the Logitech G522 Lightspeed - but is that such a bad thing? That latter headset is, in my eyes, one of the best wireless gaming headsets of the year, and many of its strongest qualities have carried forward into the Astro A20 X.

You’re still getting fantastic, well-balanced sound that, despite lacking a bit of bass out of the box, can be easily tweaked to perfection in the strong Logitech G Hub companion software. On PC, there’s support for DTS Headphone:X too, which delivers immersive spatial audio that’s perfect for immersive story titles like Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2.

It features the same excellent detachable 48kHz microphone, which picks up your voice clearly when you’re chatting on services like Discord, and the handy red LED indicator that tells you when it’s muted.

The level of comfort offered by the headset is unchanged, too. It’s lightweight but feels suitably durable, with plush earcups and a pleasantly soft headband. The design looks bulky on my head, but it's hard to complain about this too much when it’s so comfortable to wear.

So what is actually new this time around? The big new addition isn’t found on the headset itself, but rather what else you get in the box. The Astro A20 X comes bundled with a small Playsync base and two USB Type-C cables. This is its wireless dongle, and it can be plugged into two different systems at the same time.

Tapping a tiny new button found on the back of the headset itself switches between the two systems almost instantaneously, which is a game-changer if you’re like me and use a PlayStation 5 and PC (or Xbox and PC) with the same display. The feature works fantastically, but I can’t help but feel that the use of the Astro branding is a bit of a misstep from Logitech.

Sure, Astro products do generally support multiple platforms - but the headset’s design looks nothing like existing models like the Astro A50 X or Astro A10.

It doesn’t even have an Astro logo on it - bearing the same Logitech G branding as the Logitech G522 Lightspeed. As a big fan of the Astro brand, there’s something a little sad about seeing it lose some of its identity like this.

Astro A20 X: Price and availability

• Costs $179.99 / £169.99 / AU$349.99
• More expensive than the G522 Lightspeed
• Worth it if you use multiple platforms

At $179.99 / £169.99 / AU$349.99, the Astro A20 X is priced just a touch higher than the Logitech G522 Lightspeed, which costs $159.99 / £139.99 / AU$299.99. It can be found at most of the same retailers, meaning Amazon and Best Buy in the US or Amazon, Currys, and Argos in the UK. In Australia, it can be purchased at Amazon and JB Hi-Fi.

Whether the extra $20 / £30 / AU$50 is worth it compared to the Logitech G522 Lightspeed is largely going to come down to your platform preferences. If you use two or more platforms in the same setup, the Astro A20 X makes a lot of sense and will be the more convenient option.

At this increased price point, you will need to consider alternatives like the Razer BlackShark V3 or SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless more seriously, though. That latter model is significantly cheaper at $129.99 / £129.99 / AU$139.95 and offers similarly good audio quality, though you do miss out on the convenient platform switching.

Astro A20 X: Specs

Astro A20 X: Design and features

• Almost identical to the G522
• New platform switching button and base
• Spatial audio support on PC

Logitech hasn’t taken any risks with the design of the Astro A20 X, making only minimal changes compared to the G522 Lightspeed. On the headset itself, the only noticeable change is two extra buttons on the back of the right earcup.

One is a volume mix rocker that increases or decreases the volume of a call compared to your game, while the other is a little red switching button. This works in tandem with the new Playsync Base - a super compact dongle that connects to two systems with USB Type-C.

The front of the base features two LED lights, which illuminate to denote your selected input device. On the back, you’ll find the two USB Type-C ports and two little switches.

These switches are labeled Xbox / USB and PC / USB, respectively, and should be selected depending on what you have plugged in. Luckily, a useful guide is printed on the bottom of the Base to tell you what you need to choose if you want to use a PC, Xbox, PlayStation, or Switch.

The Base has two little rubber feet that help it grip the surface of your desk a little better, though I find that it can still slip off from time to time. The base is very, very light, and even just the weight of the plugged-in USB cables can move it around.

The new platform switching aside, the Astro A20 X otherwise boasts identical features to the Logitech G522 Lightspeed, with highlights like PC spatial audio support and customizable RGB zones on each earcup. The colorways of the Astro A20 X are also slightly different from the G522 Lightspeed. There’s still a Black and White option, but both feature red accent colors rather than blue.

Astro A20 X: Performance

• Comfortable to wear
• High quality audio
• Great microphone

Being nearly identical to the excellent G522 Lightspeed, it’s very hard to fault the performance of the Astro A20 X.

It sounds great out of the box, though as with that headset, I would personally use the companion Logitech G Hub software to crank the low frequencies (20Hz, 50Hz and 125Hz) up by 3dB, 2dB, and 1dB then add 0.5dB at the higher end for slightly better all-round sound as the bass is a little weak by default.

You can access all the same good presets of the G522 Lightspeed with the Astro A20 X, too, including a bass boost mode, gaming mode, dedicated FPS mode, and a media mode, or download hundreds of alternatives created by the community.

The microphone is indistinguishable too. It’s high-fidelity at 48kHz and picks up your voice well, though it does tend to allow in background noise, so I would suggest making sure the noise cancellation features of the Logitech G Hub software are on.

Battery life is identical to the G522 as well, and in my testing, I easily managed a touch over 40 hours with RGB enabled, which is a decent result.

On top of all this, the new platform switching feature works flawlessly with no noticeable delay, swapping you over, and has no issues with pairing.

Should I buy the Astro A20 X?

Not sold on the Astro A20 X? Here are two other options to consider, including the original Logitech G522 Lightspeed.

How I tested the Astro A20 X

• Tested for multiple months
• Tried with a wide range of games
• Tested with PC, Xbox, and PS5

I tested the Astro A20 X over a period of multiple months, using it with PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. In that time, I played plenty of games with it, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and subsequently Black Ops 7, plus the likes of Astro Bot, Sniper Elite: Resistance, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, Lego Horizon Adventures, Dead Island 2, and more.

Throughout my time with the headset, I compared its performance to a range of other models that I’ve tested, including the Logitech G522 Lightspeed and SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5, plus more premium alternatives like the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro and Astro A50 X.

• Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber dismissed standalone GenAI hardware as unnecessary
• She advocates embedding AI into existing products, like Logitech webcams and MX Master 4 with Copilot integration
• Competing approaches include Ray-Ban’s Meta Gen 2 Smart Glasses and Plaud’s NotePin AI recorder

For Hanneke Faber, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Logitech, putting Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into standalone hardware is just a “solution looking for a problem that doesn’t exist.”

Logitech is a Swiss PC peripherals manufacturer, building keyboards, mice, and other components, and its CEO made these regards in a recent Bloomberg interview. She said it in the context of the Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1 - two hardware gadgets that were released in the last year and that were met with a fair bit of criticism.

These products were supposed to replace the smartphone in some regards, but apparently failed by being slow, limited in features, and locked behind subscriptions.

Embedding AI into existing harware

That being said, they did succeed in sparking a conversation about whether general-purpose AI should be integrated in a standalone device at all. Faber argues that there is nothing these devices can do that smartphones and PCs can’t do - and do better at that.

Instead, businesses should be more focused on including Generative AI into their existing products, she believes. Logitech webcams are already powered by AI in a sense that they can reframe the shot when necessary and filter out background noise in a smart way. MX Master 4, the successor to one of the most famous computer mice in existence, has a dedicated button that brings up either ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot.

Ray-Ban is on track to complete something along these lines. Its Meta Gen 2 Smart Glasses are a wearable that integrates AI, cameras, a mic, and AR-like features, and the company says it will be useful for hands-free photo and video capture, voice commands, and AI-assisted tasks such as translation, live captions, and similar.

At the same time, there are other creative startups, building entirely new hardware from the ground up, such as the Plaud NotePin Wearable AI Voice Recorder. This wearable pin/clip/neck strap records audio and uses AI to transcribe, label speakers, and more. It’s marketed for meetings, lectures, and similar.

Which approach succeeds in the end - we’ll have to wait and see. One thing is for certain - the future will be filled with AI-powered gadgets.

• Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber says today’s AI gadgets are “solutions looking for a problem that doesn’t exist”
• Reddit users largely agree, criticising AI hardware as overpriced, unnecessary, and slower than using a phone
• Could Jony Ive's collaboration with OpenAI change people's minds?

Startups around the globe are trying to create the next big hardware product that sees the iPhone-ification of a dedicated AI device.

We've seen plenty of failed attempts from the Rabbit R1 to the Humane Pin, and now Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber has chimed in by saying, “What’s out there is a solution looking for a problem that doesn’t exist.”

With 2026 on the horizon, and the looming product reveal of whatever legendary Apple designer, Jony Ive, and OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, are working on, will this new device change Faber's mind? Or is she just saying what the rest of us are thinking?

AI hardware is yet to spark any interest

In her interview with Bloomberg, Faber, who took over as CEO of Logitech two years ago, said, "The company is a strong proponent of AI," but it aims to find clever uses for the technology in its class-leading peripherals rather than a dedicated device itself.

Just recently, Logitech launched the MX Master 4, an upgrade to the world's most popular computer mouse, and the new version offers a shortcut to ChatGPT or Copilot. That said, it's a thoughtful inclusion of AI, rather than forcefully adding the software just to tout the current buzzword in marketing.

Faber’s point is simple: AI has been brilliant for software and accessories, and Logitech has happily used it to make smarter mice and keyboards. But building entire pieces of hardware around AI alone feels like a stretch.

It’s not that the tech isn’t impressive; it’s that no one has convincingly explained why you need a standalone AI device in your pocket when your phone already does most of the work without the subscription fees or experimental interfaces.

Consumers seem to agree

You don't need to look far to find criticism of AI-dedicated devices online. In fact, I'd love to see sales figures for the most popular offerings like the Rabbit R1 or Humane Pin, considering they essentially tanked upon release.

In a Reddit thread sharing Faber's interview with Bloomberg, users have shared their opinions on AI hardware, and it's fair to say the Logitech CEO is voicing the consensus of the average consumer.

One user said, “Money looking for more money,” which neatly sums up the sentiment. Another joked, “I got 99 problems, and AI is 1000 of them." While the most upvoted comment came from someone who said voice interaction is still a terrible interface, and that no amount of AI magic can fix the fact that talking to gadgets can be slower and clunkier than tapping a screen.

Faber isn’t dismissing AI entirely; she’s saying the timing is off. The value isn’t clear yet, and until someone builds an AI device that does something your phone can’t already do faster, cheaper, and without a learning curve, people will continue to ask why these products exist.

• Logitech confirms data breach via SEC filing, citing a zero-day in third-party software as the entry point
• Cl0p ransomware gang claims responsibility, alleging theft of 1.8 TB of company data
• Stolen data may include limited employee, consumer, and supplier info; investigation is ongoing

Logitech was recently hit by a data breach which saw hackers made away with sensitive company data - but how many people are affected, and what kind of data was taken is still unknown.

Logitech filed a new 8-K form with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to notify the agency about the hit, noting the unnamed crooks used a zero-day vulnerability in one of the third-party software it was using to break in.

“Logitech believes that the unauthorized third party used a zero-day vulnerability in a third-party software platform and copied certain data from the internal IT system,” the form reads.

Cl0p strikes again

“The zero-day vulnerability was patched by Logitech following its release by the software platform vendor,” it added, lookinf to minimize its accountability for the attack, saying it did the responsible thing and patched the software as soon as the fix was available.

Why the crooks were able to extract the files, especially without being spotted, wasn’t discussed in the form.

Logitech then explained that the investigation is still ongoing but added that the data stolen, “likely included limited information about employees and consumers and data relating to customers and suppliers.”

Sensitive personal information, such as national ID numbers or credit card information, was most likely not stolen, since it wasn’t stored in the compromised IT system.

Logitech reportedly only confirmed the breach after its name surfaced on Cl0p’s data leak site. Cl0p is an infamous ransomware actor, who discovered a zero-day vulnerability in Oracle’s E-Business Suite and used it to target hundreds of companies and exfiltrate terabytes of data.

The group now says that it pulled almost 1.8 TB of data from Logitech, but we don’t know how much money it asked for in exchange.

Logitech MX Master 4: Two-minute review

Logitech’s MX Master is one of the best-known mice in the business, and the last iteration – the MX Master 3S – has long been seen as one of the best mice you can buy. That means the new MX Master 4 has big shoes to fill – and it doesn’t disappoint.

The main new addition is a haptic touch panel for your thumb, and this provides physical bumps when it’s activated and in use. While I’m happy to see it here, it’s actually far from the mouse’s best feature. That accolade goes to the MagSpeed scroll wheel, which automatically adjusts between precise clicks and freewheeling spinning. It’s a brilliant inclusion.

Elsewhere, the gesture button is a helpful, customizable tool that can be adapted to your needs, as can many of the other buttons, with a range of presets and programmable adjustments that help you make the mouse your own. And it’s on this software side where the MX Master 4 really excels, with the superb Logitech Flow making it a breeze to use the mouse across multiple computers and the Options+ app serving as your customization hub.

This is not a perfect mouse, though. It’s weighty and bulky, meaning it’s not ideal for travel or for gaming, while the thumb wheel doesn’t feel anywhere near as responsive or premium as the MagSpeed wheel. Those points aside, though, there’s very little else to be dissatisfied with.

Logitech MX Master 4: Price & availability

• How much does it cost? $119.99 / £119.99 / AU$199.95
• When is it available? Available now
• Where can you get it? Available globally

The Logitech MX Master 4 is not a cheap mouse, either in terms of its price or its quality. Its cost is on the high side for a mouse, but it comes with a raft of top tools and touches that enhance both your productivity and your overall computing experience. It’s not for everyone (especially gamers and those who want a lightweight mouse), but if you find yourself in its target audience, you’ll likely be very happy with it.

Logitech MX Master 4: Design

This mouse comes with the familiar sculpted design used by previous MX Master mice. That includes a wide, arched body and a cut-out thumb area with a curved lip for your digit to rest on. The mouse fits snugly in your hand and should be suitable for all grip types, particularly palm and claw.

That large form factor contributes to the mouse’s weight, which clocked in at 152g on my scales. It’s noticeably heavy, and whether that’s a good or bad thing really depends on your preferences. I’m used to featherweight mice (the 60g Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 is my daily driver), so the MX Master 4 took a bit of getting used to, and even after almost two weeks of usage, it felt a touch imprecise due to its heft. That might not be ideal if you’re a frequent gamer and want something fast and light.

On the top are two large left- and right-click buttons. These come with incredibly soft, quiet clicks, which are both satisfying to use and subtle enough not to annoy your coworkers. While the mouse’s other buttons are by no means loud, it’s a shame that they aren’t quite so noiseless.

Nestled between the two main buttons is Logitech’s renowned MagSpeed scroll wheel. This ratchets when turned slowly and spins freely if you flick it with a bit more force. It’s a brilliant way to skim through websites and spreadsheets, and as small as it sounds, it’s one of the mouse’s best features.

The switching is automatic, but you can settle for one mode or the other using the button located just behind the wheel. Also note that you can click the scroll wheel in, but there are no side-to-side clicks of the type that you might find on rival devices.

The MX Master 4’s real power features are mostly assigned to your thumb. First up is the horizontal scroll wheel, which is handy if you need to pan side-to-side in an app like Microsoft Excel or when viewing a large image. Unfortunately, it lacks the ratchet/free spin abilities of the MagSpeed wheel, and it’s quite heavy and imprecise in use. It’s also loud and scratchy when turned, making it feel much cheaper than the rest of the mouse.

Below this wheel are three thumb buttons. The first two are grouped together, while the third stands a short distance away. The buttons aren’t particularly well defined – there’s no gap between the first two – which makes them a little tricky to separate by touch alone. The third is Logitech’s gesture button, which we’ll cover in the Performance section, but note that all three can be customized to perform different functions.

The main part of the thumb rest is occupied by a dimpled gesture button, which is a new addition to the MX Master 4. This is large and spacious, taking up nearly the entire thumb rest area, and its textured surface makes it easy to grip. Pushing it in brings up Logitech’s Actions Ring, and there’s a haptic bump every time you mouse over one of the ring’s icons. We’ll get to its features in more depth further down, but it’s a useful and thoughtful way to add more functionality to this section of the mouse.

On the underside is a quick-switch button for moving between connected PCs, allowing the MX Master 4 to pair with up to three computers at once (including Windows, macOS and Linux machines). There are also three black pads to help the mouse glide smoothly over surfaces.

Logitech MX Master 4: Performance

The first thing I want to cover in terms of performance is the mouse’s battery life, which is absolutely phenomenal. The Logi Options+ app only measures battery in 5% increments, but even so, it took over 20 hours before I saw the first drop from 100% to 95%. After close to 35 hours the mouse was still sitting pretty at 95%. Logitech rates it for 70 hours on one charge, but it felt like it could go on for decades.

The MX Master 4 is not a gaming mouse, but plenty of people are likely to blend work and play throughout their daily usage. Unfortunately, its substantial weight means it’s not well optimized for fast-paced shooters like Call of Duty or other titles where agility and speed are required. Slower games like Baldur’s Gate 3 or Stardew Valley didn’t present many problems, although I still prefer a lighter mouse for gaming regardless.

You get the same 8K polling rate as the MX Master 3S, which might be attractive for top-end pros looking for high sensitivity, but is probably lower down the list of priorities for average users. What is likely to be more applicable to regular folk is the mouse’s ability to work on a variety of tabletops – Logitech says it’ll track properly on “any surface,” and while I can’t 100% guarantee it’ll stand up to anything it encounters, it at least performed admirably on every surface material I tested it on (including a mouse mat, wood, paper, fabric and glass).

One of the MX Master 4’s key strengths is its customizability, and most of this is achieved through the Logi Options+ app. Here, you can change the functionality of seven of the mouse’s physical features, including five buttons and both wheels. It’s quick and intuitive to assign new functions or create your own.

The adjustability doesn’t end there. You can also tweak the strength of the new haptic feedback feature, the press sensitivity of the thumb button, mouse pointer speed, scroll force and direction, and more. Don’t like how slowly the thumb wheel moves or how hard the haptic engine taps? You can change it all up in the software.

Options+ is also where you set up Logi Flow, which lets you use one mouse and software pointer for multiple computers and copy and paste files between them. It even works between Windows and macOS. Moving the mouse from a Microsoft PC onto a Mac and back again feels both wondrous and surreal, and it’s a fantastic weapon in your arsenal if you use more than one computer at once. It’s a little clunky – there’s a slight bit of lag when going from one computer to another, you can’t drag files directly across platforms, and copying and pasting items was hit and miss – but the MX Master 4 is better for its inclusion.

Tucked away near your thumb’s resting spot is a small gesture button. The idea here is that you hold it down, then move the mouse left, right, forward or back to activate various gestures. By default, holding it and moving your mouse forward opens the Start menu in Windows, for example. These actions are customizable, with various presets available to try. It’s a handy feature and can save you time, particularly if you set it up in a way that suits your workflow.

Press in the dimpled thumb button and an “Actions Ring” appears, with eight buttons arranged in a wheel around your mouse pointer. These serve as quick shortcuts – change the volume, lock your PC, and more – and can be customized in the Logi Options+ app. Mouse over each one and you feel a solid haptic bump, although you can change the force in Logitech’s app.

The thumb button is a bit clunky and heavy to press, and the Actions Ring can be laggy – I found that it didn’t always appear when I pressed the thumb button, for example. It also ended up having limited utility during my time with the mouse, perhaps because I’m so ingrained in my ways of working. But if you’re tired of keyboard shortcuts and want a fast way of working solely with your mouse, it might be a tempting feature.

Logitech MX Master 4: Also consider

How I tested the Logitech MX Master 4

I spent just under a fortnight using the Logitech MX Master 4, putting it through its paces both during and after work hours. That involved writing articles, browsing the web and playing games. I tested it on both Windows and macOS and tried it out on a variety of surfaces.

First reviewed November 2025

With hybrid working now a common process for most of us, the need to ensure we are productive and efficient outside of the office has never been higher.

Working from home poses unique challenges for each one of us - whether that’s being forced to work at the kitchen table, or squeezed onto a sofa, or simply missing that second monitor in the office.

So how can individuals and businesses alike make sure their workers get the most out of their hardware? I spoke to Art O'Gnimh, VP & General Manager of Logitech’s Core Personal Workspace Solutions Business Unit, to find out.

Being the bridge

“We don't define ourselves as a mouse and keyboard company - we define ourselves as being the bridge between the physical and digital world,” O'Gnimh told me at the recent Logi Work 2025 event in London.

“For individuals, everything changed the moment we brought work into our house,” he notes, highlighting how this change brought not just new spaces, but new habits and new tools, with many people forced to fit work around everything else they do.

This move also ushered in an evolution in how people actually work, O'Gnimh says, as more people began using both a work and a personal laptop at home - devices which were never meant to interact, and with different tasks being contained and carried out on each, began leading to tensions and frictions that massively damaged productivity.

These tensions weren’t disappearing when people headed back to the office either, as businesses now had to address the needs of employees who now just expect devices to work, with no friction, but still with desirable hardware - along with IT departments demanding higher needs and priorities in terms of security, device management, but also sustainability.

“The world changes and we need to identify ways that it is changing, as it creates new habits, new tensions, and new needs,” O’Gnimh says, “if we can spot those needs and address them together, we can truly shape the future of work, and make it work so much better and so much smarter, making life so much better.”

Chief among those needs, particularly as using a computer or laptop is a central part of most jobs, is comfort - an area where Logitech’s ergonomic devices, including its newly-released MX Master 4 mouse, can play a key role.

“What we try to do is make people not have to compromise ergonomics and well-being and performance for the desirability of the product,” O’Gnimh says, “we can help people to live better and feel better.”

Feeling immersed in a task can also help productivity, and O’Gnimh has an interesting parallel between computing accessories and other, more simple tasks.

“Creation is something you do with two hands,” he notes, “pottery, baking, you do it with two hands, it's the same with any creative task - you don’t want to think about the tools, they should just work, and everything should be where you expect it to be.”

This could be especially true in the next age of work, as AI plays more of a role in many tasks and roles. How human workers interact with AI systems will greatly affect their efficiency and productivity, and Logitech wants to ensure its users are correctly placed to get the most out of these systems.

In her keynote at the event, Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber had pointed out how hardware could be, “the hands, eyes, and ears of AI”, and O’Gnimh was keen to outline how Logitech is heavily involved in future casting to stay on top of trends.

“What we see in a few years time, the future of us relating with AI agents - there will be conversation, so we’ll need microphones that are able to capture speech…and we have speakers because we have to hear back,” he notes, highlighting that half a billion people have their hands on a Logitech mouse every day, “so these people have one touch away now from whatever AI tool they want.”

“Also, these agents, our partner, need to be able to understand what is being said - and so for that we have webcams…that can let a creation partner understand what mood I’m in, am I confused, am I nonplussed - and that context capture is a really important part of the future of co-creation with AIs, we believe.”

Humans in control

Ultimately though, O’Gnimh believes that physicality will still be required in the digital world, with humans needing to trigger actions, edit output, and much more.

“Humans need to have the agency to control what's happening, what the AI is doing - we need to be in control at the beginning of the process, and we also need control at the end of the process to double-check,” he says, noting how humans “need to be the gate” with AI.

“I don’t think mice and keyboards will be going away, but I think other things will join and will be added to ways of interaction,” he says, outlining how tablets were being predicted as “the death of the mouse” a decade ago.

“Our job is to extend human potential at work, and I know that the work my team and I do can do that, because we hear that from people who use our products - they’re able to produce and perform their tasks just a little bit better, they’re able to create just a little bit easier, and connect with each other better and be able to feel better at the end of a day of work...it’s really making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.”

“But our job is never over - because there are great challenges, opportunities for us to exercise our curiosity…and our job is never boring, as the world of work is constantly evolving.”

With hybrid work now a common policy for organizations across the world, more focus is being put on the companies providing the tools to ensure workers stay productive, wherever they are.

Speaking at the company’s Logi Work event in London, Hanneke Faber outlined its aim of supporting, “the future of work - working smarter, living better, growing faster.”

Part of this is through the latest products, including its newly-released MX Master 4 mouse, but Faber was also keen to mention the role that humans play in the company's success.

Reason for being

“Our mission is pretty simple, extending human potential in work and play...our reason for being is to make people a little bit better,” Faber told attendees.

Faber outlined three major macro trends in the technology industry right now affecting the work Logitech is doing, noting, “We sell work - we aim to be a model for ways of working…(but) our work in this space is never done - we are always thinking about the future of work...but success is never final.”

These trends include what she called “the certainty of uncertainty” as businesses of all sizes adapt to changing trends across the world, even as global IT spending continues to rise.

“There's every reason to see opportunity,” Faber noted, “but the best run businesses will be those...that are agile, take advantage of an ever-changing environment."

"Today is probably the slowest day of the rest of our lives.”

The other trends concerned AI and working from anywhere, with Faber noting how both were set to play a significant role for a company like Logitech.

AI needs hardware to learn, she noted, highlighting how humans interact with chatbots and agents using accessories such as microphones, webcams, keyboards and mice.

“Hardware is the eyes, the ears and the hands of AI,” she declared, describing these products as the “sensory layer for AI”.

With AI now playing such an integral role in jobs across the board, companies will need to offer attractive spaces to attract the best AI talent, Faber noted - which includes offering the best hardware.

Most companies are now embracing hybrid work, with Faber revealing research claiming more than 75% of people say they work in different places now - a trend which is not just for office workers any more.

"Work will need to be optimized, no matter where workers are,” she noted, “it's not the number of tech tools any more, it's how much friction they remove.”

• Logitech unveils MX Master 4 mouse
• MX Master 4 includes haptic feedback for improved interaction
• New Actions Ring tool allows for quick mapping actions

Logitech has launched the MX Master 4, its latest and greatest mouse, designed to bring improved productivity and interactivity for users everywhere.

The MX Master 4 is the first offering from the company to feature haptic feedback, giving users more interaction with their accessory across a range of tasks.

But alongside that, the MX Master 4 also promises boosts in connectivity, scroll speed and sustainability - I went hands (or should that be just hand?) on with it at the company's Logi Work event in London.

The mouse that roared

For seasoned or existing MX mouse users, the feel and shape of the MX Master 4 will be instantly recognizable - Logitech has wisely chosen not to alter too much in the design of its new offering.

The obvious new addition is the haptic pad, situated where a user's thumb typically rests. The feature can be customized by users to provide interaction on a variety of tasks, from scrolling to selection and navigation. We tried it out on a number of these, and found the vibration surprising at first, but quickly got used to it.

Logitech says the MX Master 4 can provide a major boost in terms of productivity, boasting the ability to scroll up to a thousand lines per second, and an upgraded USB-C dongle which allows for quick pairing across devices, even in busy offices.

But nowhere is this clearer than the new Actions Ring feature, a new overlay tool which allows users to map a number of tasks or functions, to be displayed with a single click, lowering the need for repetitive mouse movements such as scrolling through menus or interfaces.

Logitech showed us actions such as assigning commands in Photoshop or automating functions in Excel, claiming professionals can save up to 33% of their time and reduce repetitive mouse movements by 63%.

The other major step forward is in terms of sustainability - Logitech has always been keen to show off its green credentials, and the MX Master 4 is no exception. The new offering is built with 48% recycled plastics, low-crabon aluminium, and features a rechargeable battery made with 100% recycled cobalt.

All-in-all, we were hugely impressed with the MX Master 4 during our brief time with it, and will be hoping for more of an in-depth review soon.

The MX Master 4 will be available in Graphite and Pale Grey globally, and Black and Graphite Charcoal in North America and Europe. Currently priced at $119.99/€129.99, each purchase includes a one-month complimentary membership to Adobe Creative Cloud with apps such as: Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere Pro.

• Logitech has launched a new solar-powered keyboard
• The Logitech Signature Slim Solar+ K980 retails at $99.99 / AU$179.95
• It's charged either by sunlight or artificial light and comes with a swappable battery

Logitech has released a new solar-powered keyboard which is charged purely by light - either sunlight, or the artificial variety - and can last for a surprising amount of time when juiced up.

The Logitech Signature Slim Solar+ K980 retails at $99.99 in the US and AU$179.95 in Australia, as The Verge reports, and it doesn't offer a USB port for a charging alternative. You can either power it up in the sun or by using indoor lighting (if it's at least 200 lux), but once it's fully charged, the K980 will last for a rather incredible four months before it needs to see the light again.

The battery is claimed to be good for (up to) 10 years, and even if it does fail, this device has a power pack that can be swapped out for a new one.

Logitech spokesperson Melvin Dilanchian made it clear to The Verge that the battery sits in a plastic case to make it "safely user-replaceable" with a spare (that's supplied by iFixit).

The K980 is a full-size wireless keyboard with a charging panel that runs along the top, and a full set of function keys underneath, plus a full number pad to the right.

You also get media keys, and keys for video chat (mic mute, camera off), and there's a dedicated AI key which will function as a Copilot or Gemini summon in Windows or ChromeOS, respectively - or you can customize it (and other keys) to do something else.

You can pair the K980 with up to three different devices via Bluetooth and switch between them all with the press of a key.

Analysis: solar resurgence is good to see

The K980 is a smart idea for several reasons. It offers plenty of longevity when charged, and being able to swap out the battery for a new one when it's spent is clearly a nice, eco-friendly idea. There are also plenty of options in terms of keys and customization, which is good to see.

The design of the keyboard looks a bit basic, and there are no folding feet (to adjust the angle and tilt of the peripheral) – but still, it looks pretty nifty overall. And there are certainly some people out there who've missed Logitech's solar-powered keyboards – there hasn't been one made for a long time (over a decade) – who have been clamoring for the company to make another model. So, it's good to see the manufacturer has duly obliged.

Lenovo has also recently launched its Self-Charging Bluetooth keyboard at the same price point in the US, and Logitech's effort looks a bit more pleasing and streamlined to my eye. Furthermore, the Lenovo effort only lasts for a month on a full charge, which makes the Logitech rival keyboard's (claimed) capacity all the more impressive. However, you do get a USB-C port for charging the Lenovo device (in the absence of any strong enough light).

With super sensitivity, all manner of shapes and buttons, RGB lighting, and more, you might think the scope for innovation in a gaming mouse has probably peaked. To that, Logitech did a big old’ ‘hold my beer’.

At its big annual G Play event, Logitech’s gaming arm took the covers off the new Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike mouse. Spotting a Star Wars Stormtrooper-esque black-and-white livery, you could mistake it as a sharp-looking gaming mouse and move on.

But the Pro X2 Superstrike is rocking a claimed “industry-first innovation” in that it has analogue mouse clicks, minus the moving parts.

While many gaming mice use mechanical switches, the click is either engaged or not. An analogue clicking mechanism powered by magnetic hall-effect sensors, like those found in higher-end gamepads and gaming keyboards, allows for adjustable actuation points; the point at which a movement, like a tap, click, push, or pull, triggers an action.

This can allow for greater control and customization of a mouse click, but then, with no actual physical clicking mechanism, there's no feedback to tell a user that a click has been triggered.

The smart thing Logitech G has done with the Pro X2 Superstrike is to use a “haptic inductive triggering system”. So rather than having a moving click mechanism, the mouse uses haptics to convey the physical sensation of a click; it’s a similar fashion to how Apple uses haptics in its Force Touch trackpad.

When used in combination with Logitech’s G Hub software, you have 10 levels of actuation to choose from and five rapid trigger reset levels, which should let you customize when clicks are triggered to suit your gaming style.

After trying this out briefly for myself, I was quite impressed. You can have the click trigger from the lightest of presses to hard thumps of an index finger; something I’m sure professional esports players and first-person shooter fans will appreciate.

There’s also a rapid trigger mechanism, which is something you get on keyboards and controllers with hall-effect mechanisms, whereby you can have a pull of a trigger or tap of a key reset the moment you reduce pressure on them, without the need for the mechanism to return to its previous position fully. With haptics replacing the clicking mechanism, you can have that speed in the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike.

I’m not a competitive gamer, so in my very brief time clicking away in the new mouse and using the G Hub to tweak it, it’s hard to get a feel for the rapid trigger here.

But I do think it’s a neat addition to a gaming mouse and a feature that I’m sure dedicated FPS players, esports pros, or streamers will appreciate, especially as Logitech claims the Superstrike tech can reduce click latency by 30 milliseconds.

There's also a host of other gaming mouse tech in the Pro X2 Superstrike, like a sensor with a maximum of 44,000 DPI and an 8kHz polling rate to keep the mouse movement precise and snappy.

I appreciated it from a tech perspective, and as both a fan of the Force Touch trackpad – the best trackpad out of all the contenders for our best laptops list – and Logitech’s mice, there’s definitely a creeping appeal to the Pro X2 Superstrike, even if I lack the gaming chops to get the most out of it.

As for the rest of the mouse, it’s reminiscent of other Logitech gaming mice. There's nothing crazy in the design department here, but it feels distinctly comfortable to grip in the same way I feel lots of Logitech mice do. If you like that design, then you’ll feel at home with the Pro X2 Superstrike; if you're more of a Razer mouse fan, then you may need to subtly adjust to this mouse.

At $179.99 / €179.99, you need to be prepared to pay a premium for the Logitech G X2 Pro Superstrike, but then you are getting new tech for that outlay.

Furthermore, I’d be curious to see how other brands, Razer included, react to this and if such haptics could usher in a new horizon for gaming mice.

Lightweight fantastic

For those of you turning your noses up at the Pro X2 Superstrike, then Logitech G has another mouse to tickle your face: the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2c.

That mouthful of a name is a very lightweight take on Logitech’s Pro X Superlight 2, and is smaller to boot. Designed in collaboration with professional gamers, the Superlight 2c has been made for people who like to adopt a so-called ‘claw grip’ to their gaming mouse.

I gave the new mouse a quick spring, and while I prefer mice with a bit more heft and ones that can be cradled in my hand, it’s still a slick bit of gaming hardware; just not my cup of tea.

If it sounds like yours, it’s being released on October 21 for a price of $159.99 / £159.99 / AU$299.95.

What might be more appealing to me, and surprisingly so, is the updated Logitech G515 Rapid TKL. This is the company’s first keyboard with low-profile analogue keys.

This design allows for fast key actuation and the use of the rapid trigger system to make for superfast key taps and presses, many of which can be tweaked and customised in the G Hub software.

While I don’t mind a lack of travel in laptop keyboards, I like my desktop ones to have deep, satisfying mechanical clicks. So low-profile keys don’t always appeal to me. But the G515 Rapid TKL may be the keyboard to convince me, as tapping away on it felt fast, snappy, and satisfying.

Not being able to take it for a long spin, and not being good enough at hardcore gaming to really embrace the rapid trigger mechanism, it felt good to type on at speed; I could have been imagining it, but I thought I made fewer typos while my fingers banged against the keys.

Logitech might have me rethinking my current mechanical keyboard with deep-profile keys, and prompts me to chew over an upgrade. You can get one today for $169.99 / £139.99 / AU$329.95.

There was more to see at Logitech G Play, but on the desktop PC gaming side, those were the highlights. Personally, I’d love to give the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike a bigger go once it arrives next year, and I’m curious about the G515 Rapid TKL. What's got your attention?

As someone who’s taken an Audi R8 around Ascari racetrack, I’ve always been a little sceptical of even the best racing wheels. I’ve always felt that they’re slightly disconnected from giving the realistic force-feedback that I feel makes virtual racing come alive. Then I tried the new Logitech G RS50 racing sim kit.

This unassuming combination of a button-festooned racing steering wheel, wheelbase unit, and accelerator and brake pedal combo has a whole host of tech that makes this setup feel closer to a F1 Simulator – something I’ve tried, and failed at miserably.

While I’ll admit that I’m not the biggest player of serious racing games – I'll take the arcade nature of Forza Horizon 5 over Gran Turismo 7, though I appreciate the latter’s obsession with automotive realism - the RS50 kit impressed me with its handling of feedback.

First off, the feedback to the steering wheel is provided by a direct-drive motor in the wheelbase unit. This means that haptic feedback is not delivered via a series of gears connected to a small motor, but rather directly from the motor, enabling a full 8Nm of torque to be delivered to the steering wheel.

And you can certainly feel it. Trying out the system with Forza Motorsport, and I could feel how the wheels were behaving and how some of the torque was loading up on them as I approached each corner. I also got an intimate feel for the kerbs as I clipped them more than I’d care to admit, as well as the gravel as I overcooked far too many corners and came off the track.

At times, the feedback from the wheel felt like it was starting to work my arm muscles, with moments where I had to really contend with the torque, wrenching the wheel round in opposite lock to try and get myself out of an impending crash.

Some of this could have been avoided if I had made better use of the pedals.

Not only does a hall-effect mechanism on the accelerator allow for precise modulation of the pedal, but the load-cell brake, which uses the same pressure-sensing tech found in bathyspheres, can detect the amount of pressure applied to the pedal and make for much more modular and progressive braking.

As someone who’s always struggled with getting the braking right in serious racing games, this was a bit of a boon, letting me tap the pedal to kill some speed going into a corner or really put on the automotive anchors when I lost control of the car and flew towards the wall of the circuit.

Add in all Logitech G’s Trueforce, which goes beyond normal haptics and offers tighter integration into a game’s physics and audio systems to provide a deeper level of physical and aural feedback, and the experience is complete.

As such, when I messed up in Forza Motorsport I couldn't really blame the gear, as the RS50 felt spot on with reading my inputs and feeding back an almost overwhelming amount of force, both subtle and sledgehammer-like.

Despite being a rather solid driver in the real world (in my humble opinion), my skill in sim racing, or lack thereof, got thoroughly humbled, though I enjoyed every moment using the RS50.

Customization meets quality

I didn’t dig into all the customization tools and features that the system enables, from being able to display straightforward data like engine revs to showing torque levels, but there’s a lot on offer here.

All in all, Logitech’s gaming division isn’t doing anything revolutionary in racing wheels, especially given it has its pro-grade products with direct-drive motors. But it does bring a lot of the higher-end features from those pro setups to a more affordable, consumer level.

I reckon the overall quality of the RS50 racing kit is very solid. At $699.99 / £599.99 for the RS50 steering wheel and wheelbase, and a further $159.99 / £119.99 for the RS pedals, it's far from cheap and might not be the best entry point for sim racing beginners.

But for people looking to get more serious with realistic racing, Logitech G’s RS50 racing kit might accelerate those ambitions.

• The PowerA Advantage Switch 2 Wired Controller has brilliant lighting, but everything else left me wanting more

You’ve got to be pretty bold to make a claim like having the “ultimate console gaming headset” but that’s what Logitech did at its annual LogiPLAY event, which I attended amid a host of other products from the brand’s gaming division.

As such, I got a close look at the new Astro A20 X gaming headset, which aims to be the one headset to rule them all when it comes to playing on PS5, Xbox Series X, or Nintendo Switch 2. I left impressed but a little underwhelmed.

The A20 X effectively replaces the A20 as the new entry-level headset in the premium Astro audio range. But as our Hardware Writer, Dash Wood, pointed out in his news coverage of the headset announcement, the A20 X doesn’t sport many of the angular design cues one expects with the Astro series.

Rather, it looks an awful, awful lot like the Logitech G522 Lightspeed, with a rounded aesthetic that’s more in keeping with some of the best wireless headphones than gamer-grade headsets.

That’s not inherently a bad thing, as the G522 reviewed very well. But it was my first disappointment with the A20 X; I don’t buy into the angular ‘gamer’ aesthetic that still percolates from hardware makers like Asus and Acer, but it feels there was scope for Logitech G to be a bit more adventurous with A20 X's design rather than just copy the G522's homework, despite some customizable RGB.

However, putting design aside, the core feature of the A20 X is its Playsync audio system and base unit, which comes as part of the $179.99 / £169.99 (there’s no Australian release on the cards at the time of writing) package. This is the key to letting the headset swap between two devices, connected to the hub via USB-C, at the touch of a button.

Now I’ve heard such promises before and have yet to find a system that works slickly, beyond a little Logitech wireless mouse I use with my MacBook Air M2. But trying out the A20 X, I was genuinely impressed at how fast and seamless the switching was – a quick press saw me jump from a PC (I think as the showcase was rather dark) and an Xbox, with another press jumping back to the PC, all accompanied by a virtual voice telling me which system I’d switched to.

My main PC and Xbox gaming headset is a Bang & Olufsen Beoplay Portal, which offers fantastic audio, but only sports the Xbox Wireless protocol, meaning it won’t play nice with my PS5. The A20 X and Playsync seem to be the easy solution to this, as well as any dodgy connectivity issues with wireless connections with consoles that might be behind your TV, rather than in the line of sight with a headset.

Such swapping isn’t new, as the other higher-end Astro headsets offer Playsync, but at under $200 / £200, I believe the A20 X is the only headset to offer such on-the-fly switching chops. As such, if I weren’t a diehard PS5 Pulse 3D wireless headset user, I could see the Astro A20 X integrating very nicely with my console setup.

The only slightly, and arguably disappointing, thing with the A20 X’s connectivity is that its Bluetooth 5.3 can only connect to one device at a time with no concurrent connectivity support. Hardly a deal breaker, but perhaps an area where Logitech G could have pushed that bit further.

Given I was on quite a noisy showcase floor and didn’t get a chance to have some solid gaming time with the Astro A20 X, it’s hard to get a feel for its audio quality. But the little bit I did hear sounded crisp and clear, with a somewhat flat tone – that’s something I appreciate for gaming, as I’d rather keep warm mid-range and sparkling treble for my music listening on the likes of the best Sony headphones.

Going by the quality of other Logitech gaming headsets and the presence of the G522 Lightspeed on our best wireless gaming headsets, I’d be confident in the A20 X’s audio abilities.

The quality of the hardware, from the headband to the buttons, and the nice progressive feel of the volume wheel, all felt good to my touch and in keeping with what I expect at the A20 X’s price point.

Passive noise cancellation was rather solid, with the memory foam ear cups feeling suitably plush and good at isolating unwanted external sound. I was also impressed at how lightweight the headset felt – it comes in at 290g, which is light on paper and reflected in real-life use.

Sure, I’d have liked a little bit more pizazz in the design department. But if the audio stands up in our testing, having a quality headset that’s well built and can quickly switch on the fly might set a new standard for sub-$200 / £200 gaming headphones.

My general experience of AI tools so far has been somewhat underwhelming; I don’t need an AI agent to rewrite an email for me, and while the likes of Google’s Magic Editor are great at transforming a ‘meh’ photo into something more artistic, AI has never felt that useful to me.

But Logitech is taking a different path. The company’s 'G' gaming arm, specifically its streamer-centric Streamlabs unit, has come up with something it calls the 'Intelligent Gaming Agent', and I've seen it in action at Logitech's big yearly LogiPlay event.

Rather than paint pictures of dogs in Salvador Dali paintings, the Intelligent Gaming Agent is set up to be a gaming advisor, production assistant, and tech support for game streamers.

Demoing the agent, a Logitech rep asked the AI-powered tool to give her advice on where to drop in Fortnite, via a voice query and external microphone. The AI responded, advising a drop point that should enable a good start to the battle royale game.

Responding to queries in a conversational and friendly tone, the agent can be customized to look a variety of ways, but also respond in specific ways; notably, the agent can take on a sassy tone and lightly mock the streamer — as if the gaming world isn’t already awash with less than pleasant comments.

But the agent can be hidden from the streamer if one doesn’t want a virtual entity on screen, yet all its services and skills can still be accessed.

Of course, such help is just an aside. Where the Intelligent Gaming Agent can be truly handy is on the producer side.

Per the demo, the AI can be asked to create a poll for stream watchers, say, where they think a player should land in Fortnite, then the AI processes the responses and feeds them back without the streamer needing to do anything. It can also clip videos from the streamed game and add sound effects.

Then on the tech side, the Agent can detect things like the streamer having not spoken for a while and then infer that there could be a problem with the AI setup.

Equally, steamers can ask the AI if there’s anything wrong with their setup, and it will try its best to come up with a solution to it. When prompted if there was anything wrong with the audio, the Agent looked into it and noticed the user’s microphone was off, and so turned it on. It all seems rather smart and could make for a very handy tool for new streamers.

Powering all of this is Logitech’s Streamlabs AI, which uses tech from Inworld AI to deliver custom learning models, and, according to a Logitech rep, also taps into ChatGPT. Nvidia also provided a load of its tech, like DLSS, for the rendering of the AI assistant.

While the Intelligent gaming agent did seem a little slow in generating its responses, those it delivered seemed on the money. So I could see the agent being of some use to streamers who’ve got a lot to juggle and want to build an engaged user base without some crazy multitasking.

If anything, I didn’t expect useful AI to pop up in the gaming peripheral area. But it does look like a smart use of AI that could augment one’s gaming experience for the better.

You can try the Intelligent Streaming Assistant yourself if you install it to Logitech's Streamlabs Desktop software, just bear in mind that to get the most out of it, you'll need to opt for the paid-for Streamlabs Ultra.

Logitech has just unveiled the Astro A20 X gaming headset, a new model in its multi-platform Astro family.

A successor to the Astro A20, the A20 X is designed to deliver premium sound with 40mm PRO-G Audio Drivers and the same high-resolution 48kHz microphone found on the high-end Astro A50 X.

Coming in at just 10.2oz / 290g, it's an impressively lightweight headset and offers a high level of comfort thanks to its plush memory foam ear cups.

It also boasts eight customizable lighting zones, adjustable via the compatible Logitech G Hub PC software. When it comes to battery life, you're getting around 40 hours with the RGB on and a whopping 90 hours with it off - more than enough for most gamers.

Spot the difference

As great as all this sounds, I'm still disappointed by the Astro A20 X. Physically, it looks almost identical to the existing Logitech G522 Lightspeed - a recent headset that came with very similar technology under the hood.

Despite a few red cosmetic elements, the Astro A20 X has very little in common with the design of other Astro products, which tend to have a more angular look. The headset doesn't even seem to have the Astro logo on it, which makes me question why it's even being marketed with that name in the first place.

The headset does come bundled with a unique Playsync base, differentiating it from the G522, and a new button that lets you seamlessly swap between two platforms, but I'm not sure that justifies the use of the Astro brand, and it's a shame to see it lose some of its identity as a result.

The Astro A20 X hits shelves in October in black or white. It comes in at $179.99, which is a little bit higher than the $159.99 asking price of the G522 - pretty fair given the addition of the base.

The UK price is TBC at the time of writing, though I expect it to cost about £20 more than the £139.99 G522.

Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle: One-minute review

The Farming Simulator crowd is a pretty diehard one, but unlike the sim racing community they aren’t blessed with a world of choice when it comes to dedicated peripherals and accessories. The Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle is one of the few options available with a combination of a wheel, pedals, and input-rich side panel.

The wheel and pedals are pretty stock standard, bordering on being a little underwhelming. Both are made entirely of plastic with a real hollow feeling and no reassuring weight to them. There’s no force feedback on offer here either, instead the wheel relies on a tightly sprung return mechanism to recentre the wheel in a pretty aggressive and haphazard way. The pedals also lack any kind of resistance, both the accelerator and brake feel the same under foot with an identical size and travel. It all has a very arcade vibe but at least it gets the job done.

The control panel is a different story altogether, so much so it almost feels at odds with the rest of the Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle. Once again it’s all plastic, but it’s much more solid and each of the 24 buttons are snappy and responsive. The front loader joystick is the highlight on the entire bundle, it feels premium and offers a great level of control.

I fired up Farming Simulator 25 and was delighted to see how well the Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle was pre-mapped. Not only was the entire setup recognized immediately, it was truly plug and play with every in-game control for every machine I tried already configured out of the box. It made the experience far more welcoming than the Thrustmaster FarmStick X which required almost entirely manual setup before I could begin working the fields.

The lack of force feedback meant it wasn’t exactly a realistic experience, the entire time I spent behind the wheel I was fully aware it was essentially a toy, but it made me enjoy my farming a trailer-load more than when I’ve played with a controller or keyboard and mouse.

Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle: Price and availability

• List price: $329.99 / £229.99 / €289.99
• Side panel also available separately as a standalone device
• Previously sold as the Saitek Heavy Equipment Bundle

Just like a scarecrow standing alone in a field, the Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle seems to cast a pretty lonely figure in the category of farming simulation gear.

Racers are blessed with an abundant range of wheels but it's rare to see such a focused piece of tech. Much like that experienced, old scarecrow, the Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle is somewhat of a veteran at this stage too. Celebrating its 10th birthday in 2025, this wheel and button box combo was originally released by sim hardware manufacturer Saitek shortly before its acquisition by Logitech back in 2016.

Logi then rebadged and re-released the Heavy Equipment Bundle under its Logitech G brand a couple of years later and it remains as one of the only dedicated farming sim rigs in the market. Little has changed since the original, you’ll still get a three-piece bundle of a wheel, pedals and side panel, and the price remains close to what it was at a reasonably steep $329.99 / £229.99 / €289.99. If you’ve already got a wheel and pedals, the side panel is available on its own for $169.99 / £139.99 / €169.99.

This sees the Logitech G Heavy Equipment bundle come in a chunk cheaper than its only major competitor, the Hori Farming Vehicle Control System, which will set you back just shy of $400. It also keeps it in-line with the sim racing staple Logitech G920, which does away with the side panel in favor of a higher-quality wheel. If you play more than just Farming Simulator it may be worth looking at that standalone option and spending a little more to pick up a higher quality wheel.

Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle: Specs

Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle: Design and features

• 900° rotating steering wheel with spinner knob
• More than 30 mappable buttons plus throttle control wheel
• Dual-mode joystick

While it may have arrived in a large box featuring Logitech’s slick, modern G branding, the Heavy Equipment Bundle itself is distinctly old school. This combo is now a decade old and it shows every bit of that age. There’s an instant giveaway too, the product photo on the box is noticeably low resolution and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same one that Saitek was using all those years ago. First impressions certainly weren’t excellent.

This experience wasn’t quickly improved when opening the box either. Call me a packaging snob but I’m a sucker for a slick unboxing experience and I wasn’t granted that here. There’s not much going on in there and it was all flanked by basic, thin brown cardboard. I know Logitech isn’t pitching this as a premium device but if I’d invested more than $300 on it I’d feel a little short changed.

It’s a simple bundle but has everything you need to get going, no extra gear required. You’ll also often find it bundled with a copy of Farming Simulator too which is a nice touch. In the box is an 11” wheel with an integrated table clamp, built-in USB-A cable and a fixed spinner knob.

A two-pedal accelerator and brake pedal set connects to the wheelbase with an included cable, while the side panel also includes an attached clamp and its own USB-A cable. It means needing to offer up two ports on your PC, though also allows the side panel to be used independently from the wheel as your PC will see them as two entirely separate devices. That’s mainly a blessing but also a slight curse, more on why later.

Build quality is disappointingly average across most of the Heavy Equipment Bundle. For something with ‘heavy’ in its name the whole thing is unbelievably light and rather cheap feeling. It’s plastic everywhere you look and I constantly found myself wanting for the smallest smidgen of rubberisation, upholstery or even just a little embossed texture.

The Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle wheel features a mirrored layout with four buttons and two thumb sticks on each side. These are nicely positioned and reasonably sized and I had no problem reaching and accurately using them while working the farm. Around the back of the wheel are two further buttons that while well placed, are irritatingly loose and loud. I streamed my Farming Simulator 25 gameplay on Twitch and had multiple comments from viewers about just how intrusive those rear button clacks were.

The side panel is much better in this regard and almost feels at odds with the wheel and pedal set. While not mechanical, each button is much more solid with no rattle or wobble, and they’re nearly arranged with plenty of space between each. Presses are firm but responsive with a gentle tactile bump and audible click. It’s all very pleasant. The dual-mode joystick is a nice size and has enough resistance to offer fine control without feeling like a workout. I’d have liked a little more strength to the resistance of the throttle wheel, but for how often it’s used it’s perfectly passable too.

Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle: Performance

• Plug and play for Farming Simulator titles
• Centre-sprung wheel has no force feedback
• Loads of customization potential

It may not actually mention farming anywhere in its official title, but the Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle’s intentions are clear—all it really wants to do is help you plough, sow, and harvest. This is a dedicated farming wheel in all but name.

You’ll need to be establishing your homestead on a computer though because the Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle offers no console support whatsoever. The good news is there’s compatibility with both Windows and MacOS, somewhat of a rarity in the gaming world. It’s also impressively plug and play, so much so it wasn’t even recognized by Logitech’s G Hub, so there isn’t even an app to install before you can hop in the game.

Logitech has worked in partnership with developer Giants Software on the Heavy Equipment Bundle so it’s in the natively supported Farming Simulator 25 where I spent most of my time behind the wheel. Firing the game up for the first time I was delighted to immediately be greeted by not only a fully–pre-configured wheel and side panel, but the game also showing me correctly labelled inputs alongside menu items.

I was able to navigate straight through menus and into a new save without ever touching my keyboard or mouse, relying mainly on the thumb stick and button set on the wheel itself.

Arriving on the farm I jumped straight into the nearest truck to test out the most basic driving controls. They worked just fine, but as someone used to using pretty high-spec sim racing gear I found the Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle wheel to be incredibly toylike.

There’s no force feedback or even basic rumble effect, just an overly keen centre spring that offers a tiny amount of resistance when steering but sends the wheel rubber-banding back to a default position like a cartoon saloon door. It’s not exactly immersive but I’ll concede it’s far more fun than using a controller or keyboard and I’d still rather use this wheel than no wheel at all.

Jumping over to some more complicated agricultural machinery is where things got more confusing. Every button was bound and they were all labelled in game, that was good, but the problem was both the Heavy Equipment Bundle wheel and side panel use the same input numbers and the game rarely told me which it was referring to. It seemed as if it only wanted to show me wheel labels rather than side panel numbers, a slight problem given it has some three times more inputs to remember. It meant blindly pressing just about every button to work out what did what and then needing to memorize them.

There is an incredible amount of customisation potential here though and even just using the default button maps I had a blast. I can imagine experienced digital farmers getting a huge amount of value from the Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle side panel, particularly if you took the time to refine the input layout to something a little more memorable.

In my testing it was the dual-mode joystick that proved the standout addition. Controlling the intricate movements of an excavator arm felt natural, and more importantly, incredibly fun. I did need to go in and rebind a couple of movements here to gain full control, but once I did you’d have a hard time dragging me out of the driver’s seat.

The fundamental gameplay improvements brought about by the joystick made me long for a little more input variety because beyond this (and the basic throttle wheel) the Heavy Equipment Bundle side panel is just an array of simple buttons. There are four of what appear initially to be two-state switches, but are actually just buttons in costume with a switch-style keycap.

Given how many farming systems are two-state, think raising and lowering a harvester head or extending and retracting an auger, this functionality would have been very welcome as it’s not always immediately obvious in game whether you’ve got your gear in the right position and having some real world visual feedback would have helped.

While a majority of my time with the Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle was spent in Farming Simulator 25, I also tried jumping over to a couple of other similar titles to see how it fared. Results were mixed. In Euro Truck Simulator 2 I had to manually configure every input, even down to simple left and right turn controls, though this was simple enough and the game recognized each input.

Motorway driving is rather dull without any level of force feedback however, so I probably wouldn’t recommend it. Roadcraft offered no functionality at all, though this is true of a lot of wheels so I’m inclined to lay blame more on the software side than the wheel itself.

Not sure if the Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle is the right choice?

Here are a couple of other flight stick options you might consider instead.

How I tested the Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle

• I clamped the bundle to my desk and spent hours playing Farming Simulator 25 on PC
• I tried a range of farmyard machinery and general controls
• I also checked performance in other, non-officially supported games

I added the Logitech G Heavy Equipment Bundle to my PC gaming setup featuring an Intel Core i9 14900k CPU and AMD Radeon 9070XT graphics card.

Setup was simple with integrated screw clamp mounts on both the wheel and side panel attaching firmly to my desk, with the pedals just resting on the floor. Both the wheel and side panel need their own USB connection, though both performed just fine when connected to either a USB hub or directly into my motherboard.

Most of my testing was focused on Farming Simulator 25 through Xbox GamePass where I tested the out-of-the-box button mappings of a range of vehicles for the first couple of hours. I then jumped into the in-game menus and made a few manual tweaks to check how simple things were to re-configure to my personal preference.

After ploughing a few fields I swapped over to RoadCraft and Euro Truck Simulator 2 to check performance in titles it’s not officially designed for.

Logitech G522 Lightspeed: Two-minute review

The Logitech G522 Lightspeed is a very strong contender in the mid-range price bracket, delivering impressive audio performance.

Sound is crisp and clear, which makes it a good fit for everything from competitive shooters like Marvel Rivals and Counter-Strike 2 to more immersive single-player experiences à la The Last of Us Part 1. The headphones also support DTX Headphone:X on PC, provided you install the separate DTS Sound Unbound app, which offers very strong spatial audio.

My one complaint is that the bass is quite flat out of the box. It’s not bad by any means, but makes punchier music sound a little lifeless. Luckily, this is easily fixed with a quick trip to the expansive Logitech G Hub software which offers in-depth EQ customization with the option to select from a number of preset profiles, download settings from the community, or create your own.

The removable microphone is also no slouch, with high-quality sound to rival some of the best microphones for streaming. Whether you’re chatting with friends, communicating with your online team, or sending a quick voice message, it offers pristine, professional recordings that mean you won’t ever struggle to come through clearly.

It’s all wrapped up in a stylish design with a soft, adjustable headband and comfortable memory foam earcups. There are even two attractive RGB lighting zones on the outside of each earcup, both offering four LEDs that can be adjusted with a wide range of colors and animations. The headset feels good to wear, but does tend to look quite big and bulky on camera - and might be a poor fit if you have a particularly small head.

In spite of this, it’s easy to recommend the Logitech G522 Lightspeed. It manages to rival some of the best PC gaming headsets right now and, thanks to its PlayStation compatibility, is up there with the best PS5 headsets too.

Logitech G522 Lightspeed: Price and availability

• Costs $159.99 / £139.99 / AU$229
• Available via Logitech
• Also at Amazon and other retailers

The Logitech G522 Lightspeed costs $159.99 / £139.99 and is available via Logitech. It can also be purchased from a wide range of retailers including Amazon and Best Buy in the US and Amazon, Currys and Argos in the UK. In Australia, it can be purchased at Amazon.

At this mid-range price point it comes in significantly cheaper than more premium wireless models like the Astro A50 X or Turtle Beach Stealth Pro, but more expensive than budget wired options such as the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1.

Its biggest competitors are the likes of the Razer BlackShark V3 or SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 Wireless - which both deliver similarly good audio performance. The stronger microphone and unique look of the Logitech G522 Lightspeed make it a good alternative, however, and give you a compelling reason to choose it instead.

Logitech G522 Lightspeed: Specs

Logitech G522 Lightspeed: Design and features

• Attractive white or black colorways
• Comfortable, soft earcups
• Looks a bit bulky

Like other Logitech G headsets, the Logitech G522 Lightspeed is primarily constructed from plastic.

Despite this it doesn’t seem particularly cheap in the hands, though alternatives like the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 do feel slightly more premium thanks to the incorporation of metal elements.

It’s not the lightest headset around at 10.23oz / 290g, but still manages to be extremely comfortable thanks to its large, cushioned over-ear earcups and adjustable cloth headband.

All of the expected controls are present, which is to say a power switch (accompanied by a small LED indicator), Bluetooth pairing button, a volume rocker, and microphone mute switch. I really appreciate the simplicity of this setup in a world of gaming headsets filled with extraneous features.

They’re all in one convenient location on the outside of the left earcup and the buttons are well spaced out with a variety of different tactile feels, like ridges on the microphone mute button, that make the controls easy to operate without looking.

There’s also a standard USB Type-C port for both charging and wired play, plus a small 3.5mm to attach the removable microphone. It’s made of a flexible, rubbery material that can be twisted into your desired position and even features a small red LED on its tip that illuminates when the microphone is muted - a convenient way to check its status at a glance

The headset offers Bluetooth connectivity, ideal if you want to use it with your phone or a Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2, and comes with a USB dongle to enable Logitech’s proprietary Lightspeed wireless connectivity.

The headset is available in both white and black colorways. Each offers customizable RGB lighting on the outside of the earcup, with a total of eight light zones that you can tweak. It’s a great looking headset on the whole, but definitely on the larger and more bulky side when worn.

It looks massive on my head, which is fine for gaming but makes it a bit awkward to wear to video meetings. Thankfully this doesn't affect the comfort.

Logitech G522 Lightspeed: Performance

The Logitech G522 Lightspeed offers good performance out of the box, whether you’re playing on PC or PS5. It’s quick and easy to set up and delivers clear and crisp sound with an impressive level of depth. My only real complaint is that the bass is on the flatter side, but this is only really noticeable when you’re listening to music or playing a game with a particularly punchy soundtrack.

Thankfully, this is easy to remedy in the compatible Logitech G Hub software as it offers an impressive number of customization options including the ability to create your own detailed equaliser (EQ) setting. I’d personally recommend cranking the low frequencies (20Hz, 50Hz and 125Hz) up by 3dB, 2dB, and 1dB respectively then adding 0.5dB at the higher end for a well-rounded sound profile that excels no matter what you throw at it.

There are also a number of presets available, including a bass boost mode, gaming mode, dedicated FPS mode, and a media mode, plus the option to browse and download a number of community creations. You can save up to three profiles directly on the headset too, so once you’ve found your favorite setup you can carry it across to any platform with ease.

The headset is also fully compatible with DTS Headphone:X spatial audio, which is turned on through the separate DTS Sound Unbound PC app. Turning it on leads to a slightly sharper and louder sound, but the trade-off is accompanied by a much more immersive sense of depth that’s ideal for atmospheric, single-player gaming.

This level of fine tuning also extends to the microphone, which is an impressively high-fidelity 48kHz beast. It picks up your voice clearly and cleanly, though tends to let in background noise. Enabling the noise reduction features in the Logitech G Hub software cleans this up tremendously though, and leaves you with stellar results suitable for chatting on a call or even streaming.

In terms of battery life, the Logitech G522 Lightspeed isn’t shabby but certainly not as strong as market leaders like the absurd 300+ hour battery of the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless. Logitech promises up to 90 hours with RGB disabled, or 40 hours with it on, but these estimates seem on the conservative side.

I generally managed well over 40 hours of use (with RGB enabled) which is going to be more than enough for most. I’ve only needed to charge this headset a few times in the multiple months that I’ve been using it, so I’ve got no complaints here.

Should I buy the Logitech G522 Lightspeed?

Buy it if...

Don't buy it if...

Not sold on the Logitech G522 Lightspeed? Here are two other options to weigh up.

How I tested the Logitech G522 Lightspeed

• Used for multiple months
• Tested with PC and PS5
• Tried the Logitech G Hub software

I tested the Logitech G522 for multiple months, using a sample provided by Logitech at a pre-reveal product briefing. I tested the headset extensively with both PC and PS5, using it for the vast majority of my gaming. Most recently this included my full playthrough of Mafia: The Old Country, plenty of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and more.

Throughout my time with the headset, I compared my experience to that of my hands-on testing of a wide range of other audio products. This included similarly priced options like the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5, plus more expensive alternatives such as the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro and Astro A50 X.

I took full advantage of the compatible Logitech G Hub software, experimenting with all of the available settings and customization options in order to assess their performance.

First reviewed August 2025

I've been using the Logitech MeetUp in a conference room I frequent for quite some time. I purchased this camera system shortly after its release, and it has performed exceptionally well. I had no issues and no desire to upgrade until I saw the announcement for the new MeetUp 2. With its upgraded features and claims of being the best, I couldn't resist giving it a try.

Having a good camera system that is easy to use, still quality enough to be worth using, and doesn't break the bank, is hard to find. I've been in my fair share of conference rooms where only the person who set up the system really knows how to get things running and everyone else struggles along until that person comes around.

I'm not sure about you, but as an IT professional in multiple areas, I don't want to be the only person who can set up a basic virtual meeting for my staff. I want them to be able to do that on their own, and easily.

That's where something like the Logitech MeetUp 2 comes in. Like many of the best business webcams I've tried, it's flexible enough to be a dedicated device set up, or be a BYOD kind of setup. Either one works just as well as the other, and both have their obvious pros and cons. Regardless, the big piece is that they are both able to be done with ease, quickly, and without needing to call in the professionals.

Logitech MeetUp 2: Pricing and Availability

The Logitech MeetUp 2 is sold via Logitech's website for $899. You can also grab this hardware from some other business retailers, but the best place to grab it would be straight from Logitech.

The only other price to be aware of is the optional AI enhancements which is a subscription, and the fact that if you want to access full 4K camera footage, you'll need to grab a USB-C 3 or above, which is not included in the box.

Logitech MeetUp 2: Unboxing & first impressions

The Logitech MeetUp 2 was extremely easy to set up. I first removed the old Logitech MeetUp from the wall and the mount, then I added the wall mount (the best option for my setup) to the wall under my TV and ensured it was centered. Next, I mounted the Logitech MeeUp2 to the mounting plate and ran the necessary wires.

I ran power to an outlet, and a USB-C cable has been tucked away, mounted behind the conference room TV. I chose this setup over BYOD because I already had a Mac mini, and it makes sense to keep using it.

However, in a future room expansion, I will probably move to a BYOD setup, running the USB-C cable to a conference table for individuals to plug in their own devices. Once that's done, you'll also need to run an HDMI cable from the MeetUp2 to the TV.

Logitech MeetUp 2: Design & Build Quality

The design is simple and easy to use, the ports are clearly labeled, and the assembly went super smoothly. I love all-in-one design, keeping things simple. I also love how minimal it all is,

This conference room camera doesn't look out of place, too big, or like someone is watching you if you are meeting in person in this room, and that's exactly what I'm talking about.

The stand or base has a multi-mount option built-in, making it so you can mount it on a wall, above a TV, below the TV, on a shelf, or more.

Logitech MeetUp 2: In use

The Logitech MeetUp 2 is a super simple, plug-and-play kind of setup. The AI enhancements really make this a powerful machine without any knowledge. Within moments of having this package opened up, I had the MeetUp 2 assembled, hung, plugged in, and working.

During meetings, I love how the AI built-in will automatically frame for two people if there are two people, and one person for one, and a dozen for a dozen. Further, as people are discussing things, the RightAudio 2 system will focus on what is being said, making it super easy to know what is needed.

I don't use the cloud feature extensively, but having the smart AI built-in has been sufficient for me so far. I'm sure that if I were managing several, the paid upgrade would probably be worth it.

Coming from the first-generation MeetUp, at first I was wary of not having the remote to control the camera manually, but after an abundance of meetings now, I've been quite happy with the AI. The control freak in me has taken a backseat, and the tech-lover in me has been really pleased with the AI. The audio is exceptionally clear; the video continually adjusts to my preferences, adapting to the room's occupants. Even when we're seated across a long conference table, the camera zooms in automatically to create a logical view.

Logitech MeetUp 2: Final verdict

The Logitech MeetUp 2 is a fantastic conference room device for any small to mid-size room where you have a lot of virtual meeting rooms. It will use AI to help smart-zoom into the people who are talking, automatically adjust if another person joins the meeting, and do it all in a simple, easy-to-set-up box.

If you are looking for a good conference camera for your setup, look no further than the Logitech MeetUp 2 system. It's probably a dream come true.

I'm writing this article in June 2025, and with all that I do, I have never had more virtual meetings in my average workday than I do today. I constantly jump between virtual meetings, in-person meetings, projects, tasks, phone calls, Slack, and more. However, a large portion of many people's day-to-day lives is spent on virtual meetings. It expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic out of necessity. As of 2025, most meetings default to virtual unless otherwise specified. I experienced this today with a client meeting. They assumed we were meeting virtually through my plan, so I headed to them to meet in person.

The reality is that businesses, for the most part, need to be hybrid and flexible. That's where a quality webcam comes into play. Suppose your first impression, handshake, and first words were vital in an in-person interaction. In that case, your camera presence, clarity, and ability to articulate as though you were in the same room are of the highest priority. For me, the Logitech Brio 705 did just that. It elevated my otherwise mediocre virtual presence, which was limited to my main desk, to a whole new level.

Logitech MX Brio 705: Pricing and Availability

The Logitech Brio 705 for Business retails for just under $200 and is available at Logitech, Best Buy, Amazon, and many other retailers. If you are looking for this device to be on a corporate machine that you have control of, it may make sense to sign up for Logitech Sync as well, so it notifies me if anyone is struggling.

Logitech MX Brio 705 for Business: Unboxing & first impressions

One of the first things that I noticed about this camera is that it has a dial on the front around the camera itself to physically close the shutter. Now I have never been the kind of person who would put a camera cover on my MacBook Pro, but I do appreciate seeing camera covers on laptops, and now in webcams. I've heard enough horror stories and rumors to make me feel like that is a good idea to keep things covered up just to protect privacy and help put my mind at ease.

After that revelation, I noticed that the setup is super simple, with a multi-functional base, plus a single cable. The base is great because if you don't need it, it magnetically pops off. This is great for those setups that have a mount. But, for those who don't have a fancy mount in their setup, the base is a great option, allowing you to place the camera on just about any monitor shape or size, or on top of a lightbar from just about any brand if they follow the classic BenQ styling.

Logitech MX Brio 705 for Business: Design & Build Quality

The design is sleek, it's professional yet stylish, and it looks great for just about any workspace. I've had this set up at my home office, in my product shoot area, in a more traditional "office" space, and it's also small enough that I took it with me on a trip in my backpack so that I could keep great video quality away from my desk.

I'm a really big fan of darker tech, especially the graphite colorway that Logitech used for this camera, so that design choice scores high in my book. Another thing that I have recently been playing with is mounting gear in my setup with my MonoBlocc mounting grid behind my main monitor, the BenQ MA320U, in my home office.

With this mounting system, I was able to remove the base of the camera and add a perfectly placed camera shot up and above my monitor, right by a light bar, to give me the perfect angle every time. And, since the base is magnetic and easy to add back on, when I took this camera off of this workspace and moved it to others I could use the highly adjustable base to make it work just about anywhere.

Logitech MX Brio 705 for Business: In use

For my use case, I have chosen to allow for the re-framing feature, but I slowed it down. I frequently stand at my workstation and when I stand I move around a bit. When it's just me on camera, it's not distracting, but if my camera is constantly re-adjusting to find me and zoom in and zoom out and so on, it's a bit ridiculous.

So, I slowed down the reframing, and that seemed to do the trick beautifully. Personally, I don't have many use-cases for show mode, but I could see this super helpful for those who are physically drawing things, are showing what they are working on, or if you are teaching then this feature could be super nice to be able to better showcase to your online viewers what's going on.

I've noticed that the mics work better than I expected. For years, I was an AirPod-only kind of person for virtual meetings, but as webcams like this have gotten better, for quite a few meetings, I have used the webcam mic. So far, I've heard only positives about the clarity of my audio. I have yet to have anyone mention that it's muffled, unclear, faint, or poor.

One downside for Windows users that I have noticed is the lack of ability to sync with Windows Hello, meaning you'll have to use your laptop's camera for this feature or utilize another login method when docked. It's a bummer for sure, but I also understand why Logitech didn't want to go through that certification process.

Logitech MX Brio 705 for Business: Final verdict

The Logitech Brio 705 for Business is an excellent option for those seeking a high-quality webcam without breaking the bank. It offers a great combination of visual quality, audio quality, and features without being overloaded with unnecessary ones. If you are looking for a camera for virtual meetings or presentations, or if you want a camera that works in both a designated setup or a setup on the go, check out the Logitech Brio 705 for Business.

Updated, May 23, 2025 - Logitech has lowered the expected price of the G522 Lightspeed from $179.99 to $159.99 in the US. The story has been updated to reflect this, but otherwise remains as originally published.

• Logitech G has revealed the Logitech G522 Lightspeed
• This wireless gaming headset boasts an impressive feature set and a great microphone
• It hits shelves on June 16 for $159.99 / £139.99 / AU$299.95

Gaming accessory brand Logitech G has announced the Logitech G522 Lightspeed, a new wireless gaming headset intended to supersede the popular Logitech G733 Lightspeed.

The G522 Lightspeed features redesigned earcups, with a wider shape and an added layer of memory foam for enhanced comfort. It has a lightweight, adjustable fabric headband, which now rests flatter than its predecessor and has built-in ridges for better cooling.

The exterior of each ear cup features four eye-catching customizable RGB lighting zones, which can be tweaked to the color of your choice in the Logitech G Hub desktop software. It's also compatible with the Logitech G mobile app.

Under the hood, the headset is packing Logitech G's highest-fidelity 40mm Pro-G drivers with 24-bit / 48kHz signal processing for enhanced audio clarity and detail.

The headset comes bundled with a removable omnidirectional microphone, which offers an impressive 16-bit / 48kHz bandwidth. It's the same microphone found in the excellent, but much more expensive, Astro A50 X, which impressed with its crystal clear recordings in my hands-on testing.

On the Logitech G522 Lightspeed, the microphone has the added benefit of a built-in red LED indicator that illuminates when it's muted.

As its name would suggest, the headset can connect to PC or PlayStation 5 via Logitech's Lightspeed wireless dongle (which is included in the box), but also supports traditional Bluetooth for the aforementioned platforms in addition to Nintendo Switch and mobile. There's also the option for wired play via its USB Type-C connector.

Logitech claims up to 40 hours of battery life with the default lighting on, or up to 90 hours with it disabled, which is a pretty impressive figure. It's not quite the up to 200 hours promised by the competing HyperX Cloud III S, but it's still more than enough juice for a few weeks' worth of intense gaming sessions.

The Logitech G522 Lightspeed hits shelves on June 16 in white or black colorways. It costs $159.99 / £139.99 / AU$299.95, putting it in the midrange price bracket.

Its expansive feature set seems very promising, but only time will tell whether it becomes one of the best PC gaming headsets or best PS5 headsets around.

Logitech Pro X Superlight 2 Dex: Two-minute review

The Logitech Pro X Superlight 2 Dex is a striped-back gaming mouse focused on performance above all else. Its looks are understated, and one could easily mistake it for a productivity mouse rather than one designed for gaming, especially given its lack of RGB lighting. However, the white and pink colorways do add an element of vibrancy.

It has a long profile, and the side walls curve inwards sharply. The mouse buttons also feel quite short, and have a steeper downwards rake than some rivals I’ve experienced, which emphasizes more contact with the finger tips. Coupled with the aforementioned concave figure, the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex encourages a claw-style grip.

True to many of Logitech’s gaming hardware, the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex feels well built, with premium materials that are put together in a sturdy fashion that rivals many of the best gaming mice. This extends to the buttons, which have next to no wobble, making for tight, satisfying presses.

Oddly, though, the scroll wheel can be moved sideways when pressed on its right side, almost as if it has tilt functionality, which it doesn’t. But despite this lapse in build quality, it gave me no issue when using it.

There are large PTFE skates underneath, and there’s even a spare cover for the dongle compartment that features another PTFE layer to increase coverage, further improving the smoothness of glides. However, the skates are quite thin, so the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex is definitely at its best on padded surfaces.

You can customize the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex using Logitech’s G HUB software. This allows you to set the DPI between 100 and 44,000, with five slots you can cycle between. Although there’s no dedicated DPI selector button on the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex – a strange omission since even spartan gaming mice usually include one – you can remap the inputs to make one.

There’s also the option to split the DPI adjustments for the X and Y axis, which not every peripheral tool offers. You can set the lift-off distance for each of the five slots as well, with low, medium, and high options. They lack measurements in millimeters, though, which some might find disappointing.

There are also various remapping options: not only can key inputs be assigned, but so too can numerous system functions and shortcuts. These include launching applications of your choosing and cycling audio inputs and outputs, among others. You can also set a button to be the G-Shift modifier, which gives you access to another layer of assignments when held. A macro creator is available too.

For gaming, the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex delivers a mixed performance. The 8K polling rate is welcome, and there’s no denying that aiming feels smooth and precise. However, I didn’t find the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex particularly conducive to my playing style.

The weight feels concentrated towards the rear, which means that when lifting off, it tends to tilt backwards, which isn’t ideal. Also, the acute side indentations made it hard for me to hold the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex securely, forcing me to grip tighter than usual, which in turn made swiping harder to achieve.

The mouse button clicks are also not as snappy as I would’ve liked. I also struggled to hit the side buttons easily, again due to the pinched sides. They are well damped, though, which makes them satisfying to hit, as is the middle click, although I would’ve liked a tad more feedback from it. The scroll wheel is lightly notched yet offers enough control and security, preventing accidental scrolls when clicking in.

The battery life of the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex seems fairly reasonable. I wasn’t able to test it to exhaustion, but after a day’s worth of varied use, it dipped by 6%, which seems in-line with Logitech’s claim of 95 hours. Charging takes about two hours and forty minutes, which is less impressive.

At $149, the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex is an expensive gaming mouse. While it does offer wireless connectivity and an 8K polling rate, it’s the same price as rivals such as the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro and the Logitech G502 X Plus. Both these mice are at the top of their class, with the former having excellent performance and the latter being great for features.

Logitech Pro X Superlight 2 Dex: Price & availability

• $159 / £149 / AU$299
• Available now
• Same price as more feature-filled rivals

The Pro X Superlight 2 Dex costs $159 / £149 / AU$299 and is available now in black, white, and pink colorways. It comes with a braided USB-C-to-A cable and a 2.4GHz USB dongle with an extension adapter.

For an 8K wireless gaming mouse, the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex is quite expensive, considering its lack of features. The best gaming mouse in our view, the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro, is the same price. This too has an 8K polling rate, but we found it had better ergonomics.

The Pro X Superlight 2 Dex is also the same price as the Logitech G502 X Plus, which we thought was already quite expensive. However, it’s our pick as the best wireless gaming mouse for features, thanks to the extra buttons providing more scope for configuring inputs to your exact needs. Its maximum polling rate is only 1K, though, and at 106g, it’s considerably heavier as well.

When it comes to budget computer speakers, the Logitech Z407 and Creative Pebble Plus come to mind. They're both affordable and are among the best computer speakers most people should consider their computer setup. However, there are distinct reasons to choose one over the other. And price is a big consideration.

There are better, more expensive, options out there, but the Logitech Z407 punches above its weight. This computer speaker system (both models covered here include a subwoofer) sounds bigger than it is and has a cool couple of useful features. It might not satisfy gamers, but it’s more than enough for most people.

As affordable as the Logitech Z407 is, no computer speaker system offers more value than the Creative Pebble Plus. It’s more stripped down, still has a good amount of power and decent sound — though it’s held back by distorting bass at higher volumes – and is the price of an outing at a fast food chain or a decent mid-tier (but not great) mouse.

We’ll dig into these two products a little more to help you decide if it’s worth spending a little more and getting a little more with the Logitech Z407 or paying the lower price of the Creative Pebble Plus and finding it to be enough for your needs.

Logitech Z407 vs Creative Pebble Plus: Price

Comparing the Logitech Z407 and the Creative Pebble Plus is a matter of comparing two very budget models. If you’re reading this article, then keeping that price down is probably a deciding factor.

Now, the Logitech Z407 is the more expensive model, having launched with a price tag of

$79 / £79 / AU$149, the price it had when we reviewed it in 2021. It’s now actually gone up in price – something very unusual in computer-adjacent tech – to a price of $119.99 / £119.99 / AU$249.95. Now, computer speaker models don’t get refreshed all that often and the Logitech is still a very worthy consideration, especially since it comes with a subwoofer, wireless puck that functions like a remote, and Bluetooth connectivity.

The Creative Pebble Plus is much more barebones. There’s no Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Airplay, etc. Still, this model does come with a subwoofer as well. Its original price of $40 / £40 / AU$99.95 has not gone up significantly like the Logitech. Instead, it’s five dollars more expensive in the states and just a little cheaper everywhere else, with a price tag of $44.99 / £38.99 / AU$69.95.

Logitech Z407 vs Creative Pebble Plus: Design

As far as setup goes, both the Logitech Z407 and Creative Pebble Plus are 2.1 systems, meaning that there are two speaker boxes for left and right audio and a subwoofer for the low-end.

Since both are budget units, the satellite speaker boxes and subwoofer are all connected by cables. With the Logitech Z407, both speakers connect to the subwoofer while the left speaker and subwoofer of the Creative Pebble Plus both connect to the right speaker. This, unfortunately, requires a little more creativity for cable management.

Both the Logitech Z407 and Creative Pebble Plus have interesting looking speaker boxes with the former having a rounded almost pill-like shape that’s more for aesthetics than anything else. The Creative Pebble Plus has angled speaker boxes so that the audio is directed more towards the listener’s ears – a small but appreciated choice, especially considering they’re 4.8 inches in height (the Logitech are 7.87 inches tall).

As far as connectivity goes, the Logitech Z407 is the better model as it offers Bluetooth, micro USB, and a 3.5 mm analog input. The Creative Pebble Plus, on the other hand, offers USB and 3.5mm. More importantly, the Creative Pebble Plus does not use a separate power cable, instead drawing power via the USB port, so if you don’t or can’t go the USB route, you’ll have to purchase a separate USB adapter to plug into the wall.

Lastly, as far as onboard controls go, all of the Z407’s are outsources to that wireless puck I previously mentioned, while the Creative Pebble Plus has a volume dial and a toggle for a ‘High Gain’ mode that boosts the volume.

Logitech Z407 vs Creative Pebble Plus: Features

The feature set on both models are a bit limited, but much more so with the Creative Pebble Plus. That’s because the only feature worth mentioning is that ‘High Gain’ toggle, which boosts the volume up to 8 watts RMS.

The Logitech Z407’s feature set includes Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and the wireless puck, which not only adjusts volume, but can be used to adjust the volume of the subwoofer, as well as switch sources, mute and unmute, and skip or rewind tracks. There is a Bluetooth and input source button underneath, but otherwise you can only control it by turning the dial or pressing on it like a giant button, so figuring out how to switch between functionalities does take a bit of learning. That’s probably the most difficult part of using the Z407. Once you get it, however, you’ll find it worth having.

Logitech Z407 vs Creative Pebble Plus: Performance

When it comes to audio quality, the Logitech Z407 is the better sounding model. But, if you look at the price, that should be expected. A little more unexpected as these relatively affordable speakers have a ton of volume on tap for computer speakers and sound pretty good. They lack a bit in detail, but the mids are fairly rich, and there’s plenty of bass, though you might want to turn that down a smidge. It produces a good stereo image.

The Creative Pebble Plus sound good for the price with a decently crisp high-end and balanced mids, though bass can distort rather easily, so that when you turn up too much, the bass and, therefore, the rest of the frequency range start to overload the drivers. But with the right kind of music and volume, they have a respectable sound.

One area that’s worth considering, however, is that since the Creative Pebble Plus are angled up, unlike the Logitech Z407, the sound is angled more properly towards you if you tend to sit up at your desk.

Which budget speaker is right for you?

The better speaker is going to be determined by your needs. While the Logitech Z407 are the objectively better speaker, there are certain people that would prefer the Creative Pebble Plus. If you’re tall and/or tend to look down on your computer monitor, it will direct sound to your ears. Or, if you’re very limited on funds or prefer to save money, the Creative Pebble Plus is less than half the price.

The Logitech Z407 does sound better, includes a convenient interface via the puck, and includes Bluetooth connectivity for when you want to play some music off your phone.

Logitech POP Mouse: Two-minute review

The Logitech POP Mouse is a small and simple wireless mouse for productivity and general browsing, with its versatile Bluetooth connectivity and customization options pitched at modern workers.

It sports a stylish design courtesy of its pebble-like shape, front slope and one-piece unit for the mouse buttons. This is extended further by the multiple colorways, which utilize a soft, light palette, with some two-tone schemes thrown in for good measure.

Although it’s quite small and thin compared to the best mouse options around, the POP Mouse fitted my hand and fingers well. The body is thick enough to get a good grip, and the rear weight bias means it’s easy to tilt backwards for lift-offs between swipes. The completely symmetrical design also makes it suitable for left and right handers alike.

There’s a distinct lack of buttons on the POP Mouse, with the only topside additions being a scroll wheel and a button below it. Underneath you’ll find the power slider and the Easy Switching button used for pairing and toggling between three different Bluetooth devices.

The aforementioned one-piece unit for the mouse buttons also doubles as the battery compartment cover. It’s attached magnetically to the mouse’s body, and the robust plastic achieves the ideal balance between easy removal and secure fastening.

Even better, though, are the switches for mouse buttons. They’re very tactile and heavily damped, so much so that they barely make a sound in use. This makes for a satisfyingly padded sensation, and more pleasurable to use than I was expecting for a mouse of this kind. Those who prefer the loud, sharp clicks of traditional switches may not find the POP Mouse provides enough feel or feedback, but personally, I enjoyed using them for general and productivity purposes.

The scroll wheel is also damped nicely, as well as being lightly notched. When you flick quickly, it enters into a free-wheeling state to some degree, which is a handy feature; I only wish this triggered more readily, as it didn’t make navigating long documents and web pages as easy as I was hoping.

However, it does feel well-made and the rubber material on top is smooth to the touch. The scroll click is secure and tactile as well, while the button below – which opens an Emoji menu by default – is more snappy but still premium-feeling.

Using Logitech’s Options Plus software, you can customize the POP Mouse, with a surprising amount of tweaks available. The right and left click can’t be altered, but the scroll button and Emoji menu button can be remapped to perform a variety of actions. These include keyboard shortcuts via the recording of your own combinations, and a variety of system-level functions, which include media playback controls, opening apps, taking screenshots, and opening the Windows Action Center. There’s even an option to open ChatGPT in a pop-up window.

You can also map these buttons to gestures: by holding them and making certain mouse movements, you can perform a variety of navigational and cycling actions, such as switching app windows or selecting the next or previous tracks.

Logitech also has a feature called Smart Actions, a more advanced form of macros. There are various presets already included in Options Plus, such as Meeting Mode, which opens Zoom (if already installed) and Notepad at the same time, and Social Media Break, which opens Instagram’s website in a new Chrome tab. These can be edited as you see fit.

You can also create your own Smart Actions from scratch, by adding certain conditions and layers of actions to automate any number of processes you can conceive of. You’re given some basic building blocks, which are: opening applications, performing keystrokes, writing blocks of text, and performing system functions. You can also set delay times between each action.

Options Plus also has a feature called Logi Flow, which is supposed to make device switching even more seamless by letting you simply drag the cursor from one device to another, although I was unable to get this working on numerous machines, as a connection failed to establish.

Additionally, Options Plus lets you invert the scroll wheel direction, and toggle something called Smart Scrolling, which is supposed to make scrolling web pages smoother. While I did find this to be the case, it was also slower, so I didn’t find it particularly useful.

Logitech claims a staggering 24-month battery life for the POP Mouse. Naturally, I wasn’t able to exhaust it, but I can say that after about a week’s worth of use across numerous devices, the battery remained at 100%, so it certainly seems to have plenty of endurance.

At this price, the POP Mouse represents good value thanks to its performance and in-depth customization options via the Options Plus software. However, the lack of side buttons and additional connectivity methods is a shame, omissions that could deter those who demand high productivity credentials.

The wireless mouse sector is a hotly contested one, and there are plenty of great value options to choose from. The Microsoft Modern Mobile Mouse is an equally capable performer, although it costs more than the POP Mouse and lacks customization software. If you’re prepared to spend a little bit more, you could go for the Logitech MX Anywhere 3, which has better scrolling capabilities as well as side buttons.

Logitech POP Mouse review: Price & availability

• $29.99 / £24.99 / AU$59.95
• Available now in multiple colors

The Logitech POP Mouse costs $29.99 / £24.99 / AU$$59.95 and is available now in multiple and vibrant colorways, some with two-tone schemes. It comes with a AA battery preinstalled.

The best wireless mouse for those on a budget, as far as we’re concerned, is the Microsoft Modern Mobile Mouse. This similarly has a slim and light form factor, although it adopts a square shape rather than a round one. It also requires two AAA batteries rather than one AA battery. While we found its performance to be great for a mouse of this price, it doesn’t have many features, with no native software for customization. At 78g, it weighs slightly less than the POP Mouse, which sits at 82g.

If you’re willing to spend a bit more, you could get the Logitech MX Anywhere 3, which is the best portable mouse in our view, and a great mid-range buy thanks to its excellent scrolling abilities and overall accuracy – plus it can be customized using Options, Logitech’s last-gen peripheral tool.

• Logitech Spot monitors an office environment for better flow
• Poor air quality could be costing your workers' productivity
• The sensors are also built into the $7,000 Rally Board 65

Logitech has unveiled a brand-new office monitoring tool it hopes will help businesses manage their collaborative workspace better.

The new Logitech Spot tracks occupancy and environmental changes through CO2 levels, air quality, and temperature to provide real-time data for office admins.

Spot is a battery-powered device that uses a peel-and-stick base to stick to walls. It pairs via Bluetooth to CollabOS devices, like Tap Scheduler, or via Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) gateways.

Office-tracking sensor

It’s all designed with the hope of making the office a more comfortable space for workers to spend their time and better employee experience – actionable suggestions allow admins to improve the workplace while making reductions to their energy costs.

The company says the real reason workers are getting weary in the office might not be because they’re tired, but rather than inefficient use of the space available is causing air quality issues.

“In bustling workplaces, employees move in and out of scheduled or ad-hoc meetings in spaces that continuously use energy and recirculate air,” Logitech says, citing Harvard and Berkeley studies showing high CO2 levels and pollutants like dust, perfume, and aerosols can reduce cognitive function.

“Logitech Spot solves the mystery of the number of people using spaces, the quality of the air they’re breathing, and environmental factors that can impact energy consumption–arming businesses with the information they need to address these unseen barriers," noted Logitech for Business COO and GM Prakash Arunkundrum.

In the name of interoperability, Spot is also integrated with Microsoft Places and Teams, as well as other platforms like Samsung Smart Things Pro and Zoom Workplace.

Logitech has also lifted the wraps off its Rally Board 65, a new 65-inch portable all-in-one video conferencing solution that integrates Spot’s sensors within its system.

Spot will be available from the second half of 2025, and its APIs can be unlocked via the $199/year Essential or $399/year Select service plans (priced per room). The Rally Board 65 will be available from May 2025, priced at $6,999.

Logitech G309 Lightspeed review

The Logitech G309 Lightspeed is a mid-range wireless gaming mouse, aimed towards the more casual gamer who doesn’t need the elite features or performance of more premium offerings.

In terms of appearance, the G309 Lightspeed keeps things simple. There’s no gaming imagery or designs present (there’s not even any RGB lighting), looking more akin to a productivity mouse than anything else. Only a small Logitech G logo offers any sort of contrast to the monochrome colorway.

The overall shape is sleek, as the bulbous rear thins out towards the front. It’s not as wide or as long as the G502 Lightspeed, one of the best gaming mice around. But the mouse buttons do feel long, and their relatively flat profile means your fingers are more horizontal than you might expect; claw-grippers, therefore, might not find the G309 Lightspeed to their liking.

Build quality is also good. The plastic shell feels reasonably thin but sturdy nonetheless, and thankfully the large lid for the battery compartment feels secure yet easy enough to open when needed. The mouse buttons are snappy and light, but with enough solidity to inspire confidence.

The scroll wheel is notched tightly enough to prevent misfires, yet loose enough for speedy performance. The scroll wheel button puts up too much resistance, though, and is awkward to press at times. The side buttons, however, are light and responsive yet solid.

The PTFE skates are quite thin, making the G309 Lightspeed a mouse I would recommend using on padded surfaces only. There’s no replacement skates included in the box either, as some other gaming mice do.

Weighing in at 86g, the G309 Lightspeed does make itself felt in the hand. The weight is mostly concentrated in the center-rear, which helps it feel balanced, but those who set a low DPI may struggle to perform big swipes. This isn’t helped by the lack of grip: the sides aren’t indented to allow your thumb and fingers to get a proper hold of the body, and the smooth-textured plastic material fails to offer much traction. However, grip tape is included for both the sides and the mouse buttons, which does help to improve the situation.

If you use the G309 Lightspeed with the Logitech’s Powerplay wireless charging mat, the weight drops to 68g as you shed the AA battery. This makes the G309 Lightspeed much more amenable to large sweeps. However, Powerplay is an additional extra that adds to the overall price of the mouse.

Logitech claims the Lightspeed Hybrid switches feel mechanical despite being optical. I have to say that these claims hold water. They are light enough for ultra-fast clicking, yet provide enough feedback to feel what’s going on, all of which makes the G309 Lightspeed very satisfying to game with.

The G309 Lightspeed is also smooth and precise when gliding and aiming, although the 1K maximum polling rate might not be enough for those after the absolute best FPS performance. However, the G309 Lightspeed still performs on this front.

The Lightspeed Wireless connection also gave me no trouble when gaming. Switching between two devices, one connected via Bluetooth and the other the Lightspeed USB dongle, was also quick and hassle-free.

Via Logitech’s G Hub software, various tweaks and customizations to the G309 Lightspeed are possible. There are profiles available for a whole host of popular games, and DPI presets for various genres and use cases, including productivity, first-person, MMORPG, simulation and strategy. You can also tweak the sensitivity of each of the five DPI increments yourself, from 100 up to 25,600.

Along with the DPI settings, you can also reassign the mouse buttons. Options include rebinding buttons to other buttons and keys, as well as common shortcuts and system-level functions, such as cycling audio devices, copying and pasting, launching apps, and controlling media playback. There are also configurable actions specific to Discord, Streamlabs, Overwolf and OBS.

You can change the poll rate too, as well as the switch-type from hybrid to mechanical. However, the G309 Lightspeed lacks some of the more advanced tweaks seen on other gaming mice. For instance, there’s no motion sync toggle, or lift-off and debounce time adjustments.

Battery life is quoted as being up to 300 hours when using the Lightspeed wireless connection, or 600 when using Bluetooth. Although I wasn’t able to spend this much time with the G309 Lightspeed, I can say that over almost a week’s worth of use via both Bluetooth and the Lightspeed wireless USB dongle, the battery life dipped by around 5%, so Logitech’s claims do seem reasonably accurate.

At this price point, the G309 Lightspeed represents good value, considering its performance and specs. The multiple wireless connectivity options, as well as the integration with Logitech’s G Hub software, are welcome features and work as intended. However, the 1K poll rate may not be enough for some, and there are other gaming mice out there, such as the Cooler Master MM311 and Logitech’s own G305, that may prove to be better value depending on what you want from a gaming mouse.

Logitech G309 Lightspeed: Price & availability

• $79 / £79 / AU$149
• Available now
• Cheaper alternatives available

The G309 Lightspeed costs $79 / £79 / AU$149 and is available now. It comes in two colorways, black and white. There’s also a Kamisato Ayaka Special Edition available in certain territories, such as the US.

Despite the AA battery, the G309 Lightspeed can be used with Logitech’s Powerplay wireless charging mat, with the brand currently offering a 30% saving on it in a bundle deal.

The G309 Lightspeed sits somewhere towards the lower end of Logitech’s Lightspeed wireless range of gaming mice. The G502 and G903 sit above it in terms of spec, with their upgraded hardware and additional features. However, the G502 is only marginally more expensive, although it does have an inbuilt battery and many additional buttons.

Meanwhile, the G305 is even cheaper, although this only has one onboard memory profile slot, as opposed to five on the G309 Lightspeed. There’s also no Bluetooth connectivity, but it does have an inbuilt battery and a USB-C port.

If you’re really on a budget, the Cooler Master MM311 is even cheaper and about the best wireless gaming mouse around in terms of value for money. Like the G309 Lightspeed, the MM311 also has a 1K polling rate and requires a AA battery.

First reviewed: January 2025

One of the biggest challenges for Logitech is that its best webcams are expensive compared to no-name rivals on Amazon that have similar specifications. As a recent example, consider the £219 MX Brio 705 for Business I reviewed four months ago.

Admittedly, that was a top-end device packed with features and capable of 4K streaming at 30fps. The Brio 105 is a more modest offering that’s limited to 1080p and a 58° field of view (the Brio 705 offers a choice of three FoVs). But in practice, how much resolution and flexibility do most people need? If it’s only you, sitting at your desk, attending a meeting, 1080p is absolutely fine, and a 58° FoV will place you large in the frame.

More to the point, image quality is excellent. Not just in strong light, but also when I turned off my office light at night and relied on my screen’s backlight. The Brio 105 still did a fine job, without any amateurish artefacts.

The other plus side of buying from Logitech is that the Brio can be managed from Logitech’s mature software, whether Logi Options+ for individuals or Logi Tune for businesses (you can deploy it using Logitech Sync). There’s also a three-year warranty, while the webcam has been certified for Google Meet and Works with Chromebook -and it will naturally work on Windows and macOS with all the usual conferencing platforms. Logitech takes sustainability seriously, too, promising that the plastic parts are made from 77% post-consumer recycled plastic and that this is a carbon neutral product.

From a practical point of view, it’s good to see a basic but functional plastic shutter that you can slide over the lens when not in use, and while the single mic lacks any advanced features, I found it worked fine in a home office environment. The Brio is light enough to sling into a bag, but the whole assembly will come with you as the 1.5m USB-A cable is captive rather than detachable, as is the basic two-part mechanism to keep it in place atop your screen.

Of course, you can save cash by buying a £15 webcam with the same specs. But it won’t perform as well in low light and definitely won’t be as easy to roll out and manage for businesses.

We also ranked the best budget webcams.

Logitech POP Icon Keys: Two-minute review

Most keyboards tend to be fairly sedate affairs – even the most brightly lit RGB-infused board typically comes with plain black keys – and those that sport interesting designs are often constrained to the costly realms of enthusiast DIY builders. The Logitech POP Icon Keys breaks that trend. It boasts a range of beautiful designs that will turn heads and catch the eye; if you’re tired of uninspired keyboards limiting your choices, it’s definitely worth a look.

In terms of typing feel, there are no mechanical switches here, but you still get a speedy, comfortable experience. The slightly dished keys are easy to find by touch and they’re mostly quiet, although the space bar can be annoyingly loud and rattly.

There are a few other notable drawbacks. You can’t adjust the typing angle as the included stand is fixed in place, andit also has some issues with ghosting, where keys aren’t always registered when you’re pressing several at once.

If you don’t mind those issues, though, the POP Icon Keys is fairly priced at $49.99 (£49.99 or $99.95 AUD) and, with its bold and bright looks, brings something a little different to the table.

Logitech POP Icon Keys: Price & availability

• How much does it cost? $49.99 / £49.99 / $99.95 AUD
• When is it available? Available now
• Where can you get it? Available in the US, UK, and Australia

The Logitech POP Icon Keys costs $49.99 (£49.99 or $99.95 AUD). That feels very reasonable considering its unique looks and handy features. The POP Icon Keys is available at the Logitech official website or from third-party retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy.

Logitech POP Icon Keys: Design

Let’s be honest: a keyboard can look as pretty as a picture, but the way it feels will trump appearance any day of the week. So, what’s it like to actually use the POP Icon Keys?

More often than not, it’s a positive experience. The low-profile keycaps are concave and slightly textured, which makes them easy to feel by touch. The keys don’t use mechanical switches, but they’re comfortable to use and slightly soft on the way down, albeit without any hint of sponginess.

This keyboard is designed for the workplace, and that means you get a quiet typing experience – for the most part. While the majority of its keys are quietly audible without being distracting, the space bar is noticeably loud and slightly rattly. In terms of sound, it’s the only egregious part of this keyboard, but it’s worth noting.

When it comes to appearances, Logitech has knocked it out of the park. My review unit came in the “off white and orange” colorway, and it looks absolutely gorgeous. The orange legends stand out pleasingly well against the white keycaps, with the action buttons (I’ll come back to those in the Performance section) contrasting well with the surrounding keys. It’s a well thought out color scheme that will look great on your desk. Logitech also offers a few other color options, all of which look attractive.

The downside of the design is that the key legends are simply printed onto the keycaps. This means that they will start to rub off over time, especially if you use the POP Icon Keys a lot. It probably won’t happen right away, but it’s something to consider. The printed legends also mean there’s no backlighting, which makes the board a little harder to use in a dark room.

Unfortunately, you can’t adjust the typing angle. Logitech has put a bar on the underside of the keyboard that acts as a stand, but there’s no way to raise or lower it. The default angle is fairly comfortable, but I’d have liked to have been able to raise it a bit higher.

Logitech has used a compact layout for the POP Icon Keys, with the arrow keys smushed under the Enter button instead of off to the side. Finding the Home and End keys in their new location takes a little getting used to (my regular keyboard has a tenkeyless layout), but it’s otherwise a good way to save space on your desk.

I know it’s not designed for gaming, but it’s worth pointing out that the POP Icon Keys isn’t great here. The Option/Start and Command/Alt keys are very close together -- in fact, the former is positioned where you might normally expect to find the latter -- so you can end up accidentally opening the Start menu during games. You should disable this key in software before you start gaming (unfortunately, you can’t do this in Options+ so you will need a different app).

Logitech POP Icon Keys: Performance

The Logi Options+ companion app gives you tons of control over setting up shortcuts and macros and then binding them to the keyboard’s buttons. You can assign shortcuts to the Home, End, Page Up and Page Down keys (known as the “action keys”), as well as the brightness controls and F4 to F12 in the function row. These shortcuts can be used to control system settings or launch combinations of actions, and there are even app-specific controls that will do different things depending on which app you’re using. It’s all very well done and pretty powerful.

The POP Icon Keys can switch between three different devices, and doing so is fast and simple thanks to the dedicated buttons in the function row. It works with Windows, macOS, iPadOS, iOS and Android. Helpfully, the keys are printed with legends for both Windows and macOS.

As for connectivity, you can hook the board up to your computer using Bluetooth. There’s no wired option or wired charging – it’s batteries only. Speaking of which, the POP Icon Keys uses two AAA batteries to keep it juiced up. These are included with the keyboard, and Logitech says you’ll get three years of life out of them.

After doing some testing, it became apparent that the keyboard has a few issues with ghosting. When holding down, say, four keys on one side of the keyboard, pressing buttons on the other side sometimes would not register. It’s probably fairly unlikely that you’ll be pressing any five keys at once, but ideally you want what’s called “n-key rollover,” which means you can press any number of keys at once and they’ll all register. Clearly that’s not the case here.

Logitech POP Icon Keys: Also consider

How I tested the Logitech POP Icon Keys

I tested the Logitech POP Icon Keys by using it to type articles, play games and browse the internet. I tried it on both Windows and macOS and used its Logi Options+ app to create shortcuts and assign them to different keys.

First reviewed October 2024

Sometimes, you get your hands on a piece of hardware that just feels right. For me, that was the Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless – and now that mouse is reaching the end of its life, and while I won't be hosting an actual Viking funeral for it, I genuinely am a little upset.

A fairly high-end gaming mouse with a comfortable ergonomic design and understated RGB lighting, the G502 Lightspeed Wireless has been my trusty desktop companion for more than five years, and is only just starting to show its age; specifically, the left-click switch is giving out, still registering most clicks but rendering click-and-drag operations almost impossible.

It's fair to say that I've definitely put this mouse through the wringer over the past half-decade. Not only have I used it to put literally thousands of hours into all manner of games, but it's also been my daily driver for work ever since the pandemic shifted me into working from home. It's survived countless hours of frantic clicking, scrolling, and at-desk lunches (no, I'm not a 'tidy desk, tidy mind' sort of person).

It's not an exaggeration to say that I love this mouse. It's incredibly comfy under the hand thanks to the curved shape and thumb rest, and the underside features two magnetic panels that can be removed to add tiny metal weights to the interior – in other words, a little tweaking can create the perfect weight distribution for any user. 

It's also just a good gaming mouse in general: a 25,600 DPI sensor, long battery life, 1ms latency thanks to the proprietary Lightspeed USB dongle, and 11 remappable buttons all make it a stellar choice for any genre of PC game.

Consistency above all else

As heartbroken as I might be that my reliable gaming companion is beginning to fade from glory, there's a definite silver lining here.

See, Logitech does something that I wish more PC hardware companies would do: a certain 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' approach to product design, meaning that I can still buy the exact same G502 Lightspeed Wireless mouse that I originally purchased over five years ago. Plenty of companies would've made the original product redundant in that time period, replacing it twice or three times over with new models (looking at you, Razer).

Hell, Logitech has been using the same design for its mainstream 1080p webcam – the Logitech C920 – for more than a decade, with only some minor generational improvements over the years. There's a reason that cam still sits in the top spot of our best webcams ranking, is what I'm saying.

The G502 Lightspeed has been replaced in our best gaming mouse list by the newer, shinier Logitech G502 X Plus, but it's still the same excellent mouse at heart – and gamers on a budget can always pick up the G502 Hero, which packs a lot of the great design and features found in my favorite mouse into a more wallet-friendly package.

But you can't have too much of a good thing, so while I'm currently rocking a temporary replacement from NZXT, I can't wait to take my paycheck to the Logitech G Store to pick up an identical replacement for my beloved G502 Lightspeed Wireless. There's only one problem, and that's the price: $99.99 / £139.99 (around AU$150, but it's no longer available from Logitech in Australia). Why's it so expensive in the UK, Logitech?

I guess I'll be waiting for a Black Friday deal… unless the kind folks at Logitech read this and take pity on a poor tech journalist. Keep your fingers crossed for me, readers!

The best PC racing wheels are the ones to shop for if you’re looking to build or upgrade a dedicated racing setup on desktop. A PC racing wheel setup has the capacity to make your racing game sessions all the more enjoyable, with top features like immersive force feedback and sensational build quality - even on those cheaper models.

At TechRadar Gaming, we've tested and reviewed every single PC racing wheel product in this guide. We've curated the list in consideration of a wide range of budgets and preferences, so you'll find options for everything from budget-friendly plug-and-plays to premium direct drive wonders. If we didn't feel they were worth your time and money, they simply didn't make the list.

As you’ll see in our general guide to the overall best racing wheels, those available for PC also tend to come bundled with a set of pedals for an even more enjoyable racing experience and one that saves cash in the long run. Read on to learn all about our picks for the best PC racing wheels. Or, for a broader look at options on console, our best PS5 racing wheels and best Xbox racing wheels pages are ideal for finding a setup for your platform of choice.

The best PC racing wheels in 2026

The best PC racing wheel overall

The Thrustmaster T598 is our current pick for the best overall PC racing wheel for most folks. You're getting phenomenal force feedback here, and its axial direct drive motor generates a nominal 6Nm of torque, with a capability of overshooting to 10Nm, offering a realistic and energetic driving experience.

Beyond the wheel itself, the included pedal set is strong on build quality and comfort, thanks to load cell brake technology and an all-metal base. Oh, and the modular design here means you can swap in upgraded pedals or add accessories over time, so there's no need to completely swap your setup out Ship of Theseus-style when you're looking to make changes.

Some users may worry about the physical effort needed to handle the torque, and it’s true that longer races can lead to hand fatigue if you’re not used to direct drive systems. After a few sessions, though, the comfort and build quality make sustained play sessions enjoyable. It may just take a bit of getting used to especially if you're coming from tamer plug-and-play options.

For anyone seeking the sweet spot between realism, long-term value, and expandability, the T598 offers a compelling option in its class.

The best budget PC racing wheel

Want an affordable PC racing wheel that’s blissfully simple to set up? Then look no further than the Thrustmaster T128. With superb features that you won’t often find at this price point outside of a sale, the T128 really stands out as a budget option.

The Thrustmaster T128 is the PC racing wheel we recommend if you want a quality racing experience while still saving a bit of cash. Coming in cheaper than this list’s Logitech options, it offers a comparable experience with 900-degree rotation and a decent amount of force feedback for more immersive driving.

The inclusion of a wheelbase, pedals and a simple layout of action buttons also make it a very approachable racing wheel for players who just want to get stuck in with little fuss.

The best premium PC racing wheel

When it comes to the best PC racing wheels, the Thrustmaster T-GT 2 is an easy pick for the best premium choice. Don’t be fooled by the giant Gran Turismo logo in the center of the wheel; it’s still compatible with PC and makes for a top-flight option.

The T-GT 2 puts forward a very impressive feature set, boasting up to 1,080 degrees of rotation (which can be altered within the Thrustmaster PC software), ultra-smooth linear force feedback, a three pedal base and a quick-release system. That last one allows you to unlock the wheel from the servo base for use with other supporting bases. Throw in a whopping 25 action buttons and you’ve got plenty of customization options for in-depth sim racers.

The wheel, pedals and servo base as one package comes to $799.99 / £699.99; about as expensive as a PS5 Pro, actually. But we digress; those with the cash to spend will find a superb, long-lasting premium PC racing wheel in the Thrustmaster T-GT 2.

The best PC racing wheel for sim beginners

If you want to kick off a sim-racing hobby but are intimidated by complicated wheel setups, then the Turtle Beach Velocityone Race KD3 is an exceptional place to start. It's incredibly budget-friendly for one, coming in at a pretty aggressive price point which is especially impressive given the inclusion of a wheelbase and a set of pedals.

Setup is a step-up when compared to plug-and-play options like the Turtle Beach Racer. By that I mean you'll need to attach the wheel to the included wheelbase, which is what you'll connect to your PC. However, that's only a touch more complex, and it does give you the freedom to swap the wheel and pedals for something more advanced down the line if you end up wanting to dive deeper into sim racing.

Actually driving with the KD3 is pretty brilliant, too. You're getting a wide 2,160 degree turning angle here (though this can be adjusted if you don't feel like you need all that) and 3.2Nm of torque from its force feedback motor. As force feedback implementations go, the KD3 does lack the bite of its pricier contemporaries, but this is more than enough for beginners to get a solid feel for the tech.

The best mid-range PC racing wheel

If you're looking for a do-it-all racing sim setup right out of the gate, or you're an existing simmer moving on to a cockpit-based rig, then the Nacon Revosim is the ideal mid-range option for you.

9Nm peak torque provides immensely powerful and immersive force feedback. When paired with a dedicated racing seat, the overall sensation here is seriously tough to beat in this mid-range price bracket.

You've got plenty of customizability here, too. The Revosim includes a robust set of pedal stoppers that can help you adjust sensitivity for throttle, clutch, and brakes. The RS Pure steering wheel here also provides up to 1,600 degrees of rotation.

As direct drive setups go, the Revosim is seriously tough to beat in its bracket and marks an incredibly strong first outing from the French brand, which typically deals in mid-range controllers and gaming headsets.

The best casual PC racing wheel

Maybe you don't want a racing wheel for intricate simulation, and instead want one for more laid-back racing experiences like Forza Horizon 6 or Tokyo Xtreme Racer. That's perfectly valid, and is the exact audience being targeted by the excellent Turtle Beach Racer.

There's no complex setup or demand for desk real estate here. The Turtle Beach Racer is a plug-and-play wheel designed to play more arcade-like racing games right out of the box. It even supports wireless 2.4GHz connectivity on PC, and boasts a healthy 30 hours of battery life if you choose to play this way.

Believe it or not, one of the Racer's standout features is a pair of sturdy lap rest panels. You affix these to the wheel and adjust them to your preferences. Then, you can sit the wheel on your lap which is especially handy if you're lacking desk space. I'd honestly love to see more plug-and-play options offer something like this.

Despite being a firmly budget product, build quality is pretty solid and you're getting a full suite of buttons here. There are some notable downsides, like a lack of force feedback. There are also no pedals with this product, likely to aid in keeping costs down. Instead, acceleration and braking are governed by a pair of paddles on either side of the wheel by default.

If that isn't a dealbreaker, and you're in the market for something affordable and tailor-made for casual racing games, look no further than the Turtle Beach Racer.

How we test the best PC racing wheels

In testing the best PC racing wheels, accessories or controllers for review, we dig deep into a number of factors to determine whether or not a product is worth your time and cash; let alone whether it should be considered among the best or not. PC racing wheels are typically expensive peripherals, so knowing you’re getting your money’s worth is paramount.

On that note, we take a microscope to elements like build quality, ease of setup, versatility and of course, overall performance. We take into account features like force feedback, rotation, ease of setup, customizability and overall responsiveness during racing sessions. Once we’ve analyzed all that, we put those factors up against the price of the PC racing wheel in question to determine overall value for money.

As part of its LogiPlay 2024 event, gaming hardware brand Logitech G has unveiled a new line of Racing Series products. This collection of sim racer gear includes a new wheel hub, a range of customizable wheels, and more.

The most significant new arrival is the Logitech G RS Wheel Hub, which is designed for versatility and wide compatibility with a range of racing titles. It features customizable RGB lighting and adjustable gear shifters and is compatible with any wheels from the Racing Series in addition to some newly announced Logitech G x Momo steering wheels.

There will be a dedicated PC version of the Logitech G RS Wheel Hub that will cost $129.99 / around £100 and an Xbox and PC variant that will come in at a slightly more expensive $149.99 / around £115. Logitech G states that both versions of the RS Wheel Hub will also function on other platforms depending on the compatibility of the Wheel Base that they are attached to.

The Logitech G RS Track Wheel has also been announced, a lightweight wheel that is compatible with the Logitech G RS Wheel Hub out of the box. It features an ergonomic design fashioned from aluminum and TPU with a breathable grip pattern that is ideal for endurance and performance over lengthy races.

Those who prefer a more traditional wheel shape should take note of the Logitech G RS Round Wheel. As the name would suggest, this new wheel is round and designed for virtual rally racing. It is constructed using silicone leather and lightweight aluminum and is also compatible with the Logitech G RS Wheel Hub. Both the Logitech G RS Track Wheel and Logitech G RS Round Wheel will cost $69.99 / around £55.

Of course, no setup would be complete without a gear shifter and handbrake. The new Logitech G RS Shifter & Handbrake offers seamless two-in-one switching that allows you to alternate between sequential shifter and handbrake functions. It also comes with a range of mounting options and a height-adjustable handle to make it easier to position comfortably.

Two can be paired for use as a separate dedicated shifter and handbrake, which seems ideal for those craving the most realistic possible feel. The Logitech G RS Shifter & Handbrake will be the most expensive entry in the Racing Series, coming in at $149.99 / £129.99.

Finally, the brand has also announced the Logitech G RS QR adapter. This adapter is compatible with a range of Logitech G Pro racing bases and, according to the manufacturer, almost any steering wheel option. It allows you to use the vast majority of 70mm and 50.8mm PCD steering wheels with your PC, giving you total customizability and control over your setup. It will cost $59.99 / around £45.

All products in the Racing Series will be available on September 17 via the Logitech G website. Although far from cheap, many Logitech G products rank among some of the best racing wheels and best Xbox racing wheels on the market right now so these new peripherals are well worth keeping an eye on.

Gaming hardware brand Logitech G has announced a new multi-year partnership to produce an official Genshin Impact PC gaming line of products at Logi Play 2024. The initial line up includes a number of special edition gaming mice with designs inspired by various Genshin Impact characters.

The first of these to arrive will be a Logitech G309 Lightspeed gaming mouse with a special design based on the icy and majestic Kamisato Ayaka. It’s an eye-catching combination of a white palm grip and pink side buttons, with art of the character and a blue background pattern printed prominently on the main mouse buttons.

Some little details, like a small pink print of the character's name, really elevate the overall look. It features all the bells and whistles of the regular Logitech G309 Lightspeed too, such as its Lightforce hybrid switches, a 600+ hour battery life in Bluetooth mode, and the ability to save up to five on board profiles.

Pre-orders for the mouse are available now via Amazon for $79.99 in the US with shipping expected towards the end of the month. As someone with an entirely blue and pink PC setup, this has already shot straight to the top of my wishlist.

Three new G305 Lightspeed models have also been announced and are expected to arrive early next year. Each is white, with a colorful character print on the main mouse buttons. This includes a baby blue Sayu design, an orange Thoma design, and, my personal favorite, a fiery red Shikanoin Heizou design.

There are also even more Genshin Impact products on the horizon, including headsets, keyboards, and keyboard and mouse bundles.

Regarding the collaboration, vice president of global business development at Genshin Impact developer HoYoverse Fish Ling said that “we are excited to work with Logitech G as both teams share the passion for gaming and technology, and pay great attention to detail.”

“With reliable technology from Logitech G and delicate designs inspired by our beloved Genshin Impact characters,” he continued, “we hope the official Genshin Impact gear can be a helpful companion during the daily and Teyvat adventure for our fans and gamers.”

Alongside this announcement, an update has also been released for the Logitech G Cloud handheld which has enabled built-in controller compatibility in Genshin Impact.

As part of this year’s Logi Play 2024 event, gaming hardware manufacturer Logitech G has unveiled the Astro A50 Gen 5, a brand new multi-platform gaming headset.

Joining the existing Astro A50 X, the Astro A50 5th Generation Wireless Gaming Headset and Base Station is intended as a streamlined alternative with many of the same premium features. This includes Playsync Audio, which allows for seamless platform switching via a USB-C connection to the headset’s charging base station. The Astro A50 X, in contrast, offers both audio and HDMI video switching together.

The Astro A50 Gen 5 boasts Pro-G Graphene audio drivers, which are also found in the Astro A50 X. I was very impressed with the audio quality of that latter headset in my Astro A50 X review, so this is definitely a good sign. This is in addition to a 48 kHz high-resolution microphone for more clear communication and, potentially, even livestreaming.

In terms of overall design, the Astro A50 Gen 5 looks an awful lot like the Astro A50 X albeit minus the HDMI ports on its base station. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though, as the Astro A50 X feels robust and is incredibly comfortable to wear thanks to its impressively soft memory foam ear cushions. The Astro A50 Gen 5 does introduce some small red highlights, though, which gives it some distinct flair.

Regarding the reveal of the headset, head of marketing for console and cloud at Logitech G Gabriel Whyel said that “the A50 X has quickly become a fan favorite thanks to its beloved design, premium sound, and advanced Playsync audio and video switching technology for the ultimate living room gaming experience. Our new A50 Gen 5 features Playsync audio that focuses on 3-system audio switching via USB, perfect for multi-platform gamers who have their consoles and PC connected to one or more monitors.”

The Astro A50 Gen 5 is compatible with Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Up to three systems are supported simultaneously and can be switched between in an instant via a button on the headset, which sounds incredibly convenient.

The headset is available to pre-order now via the Logitech G website and costs $299.99 / £299.99, putting it significantly below the $379.99 / £359 price tag of the Astro A50 X.

The Logitech Keys-to-Go 2 is a keyboard that I was excited to try but genuinely thought would be gimmicky since I already operate my day-to-day without a travel keyboard, and until seeing the Keys-to-Go 2, I did not feel as though I was missing out. However, there was something about how Logitech made this portable keyboard that I knew I had to try, and it may answer some questions I had yet to ask.

In short, the Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 is an ultra-slim, travel-friendly Bluetooth keyboard designed for portability without sacrificing functionality. It's ideal for students and professionals looking for a compact typing solution that can work with any Bluetooth-enabled device.

It offers a significant redesign from its predecessor with improved durability, scissor-switch keys, and a protective flip cover. Additionally, this keyboard gives Mac and Windows-specific keys, which gives it extra utility as one of the best office keyboards around, working wonderfully with either operating system, smartphones, iPads, or Windows tablets (and while I have not tried it personally, I would assume this works well with ChromeOS and pretty much any Bluetooth device that can pair with a Bluetooth Keyboard).

Logitech Keys-to-Go 2: Price and Availability

The Logitech Keys-to-Go 2 has three color options: Graphite, Pale Gray, and Lilac. The pricing is honestly pretty great at only $80. It's available to buy just about anywhere, and you can purchase through Logitech or Amazon.

Logitech Keys-to-Go 2: Unboxing and First Impressions

At first glance, I stole the keyboard; I was shocked at how small yet capable this keyboard looked. I loved that it's so thin and lightweight while also having a sleek, protective, built-in, flippable cover to add durability. Though the keyboard is (sadly) not rechargeable, Logitech is kind enough to send pre-installed batteries so I can get to work immediately.

Logitech Keys-to-Go 2: Design and Build Quality

Logitech proved that this was a portable, lightweight keyboard in their design. The overall footprint is a mere 9.8 x 4.1 x 0.17 inches, which is tiny yet large enough to have a functioning keyboard. For reference, it's only slightly more compact than the standard Apple Magic Keyboard (see photo). The protective cover protects the keys if the keyboard is tossed in a bag and doubles as a stand to elevate and slightly angle the keyboard.

The keycaps are pleasant and smooth to type on. While it is a compact and smaller-than-average keyboard, I only notice fatigue if I type for extended sessions. And, even there, I can't entirely blame fatigue on the keyboard as I also have arthritis in my wrists, so any kink compared to what I am used to can cause accelerated fatigue. With that in mind, I will say that the arrow and punctuation keys are a bit cramped, but nothing terrible.

Logitech Keys-to-Go 2: In Use

As mentioned above, I was not in the market for a portable keyboard. I have tried having a keyboard in my everyday carry bag a few times, which has always felt overkill. I've got a good thing going with my daily and highly productive setup that fits beautifully in my Nomatic Navigator backpack. When I saw the Keys-to-Go 2, I knew I had to try it. I now wouldn't have to worry about a case for a keyboard adding extra bulk, all to protect a keyboard from getting damaged in my bag in the first place. All around, it felt silly. But, with the Keys-to-Go 2, Logitech has included a flap that protects the keys while elevating the keyboard slightly when folded back.

I was off once I hooked up the Bluetooth nodes to my MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and whatever laptop I was testing that day (it rotates regularly) utilizing the three Bluetooth nodes. I propped my laptop up with a Moft case or adhesive stand and got to work. There was something about having even a bit of separation and the ability to prop my laptop up to an angle that would make utilizing the built-in keyboard very uncomfortable, which made working that first day incredible. I got so much done it blew my mind. The keyboard helped immensely, and I stayed comfortable all day long. In the days following this first day of amazement, I could do something similar with my iPad Pro. Yes, I have a magic Keyboard case that I will usually use when I take my iPad somewhere as my only or primary computing device for the day (or hour). However, this time, I took my iPad and the keys-to-go 2, and honestly, it was a great experience. I set up my iPad using my Moft folio case and got to work without skipping a beat -- I even gained a function row of media controls this way, compared to the Magic Keyboard.

Now, for some of the negatives. I don't love that the keyboard is slightly cramped. I see that as an issue for some people. Further, I don't love that this is not rechargeable. Granted, the battery is supposed to last quite a long time, but the ability to recharge with USB-C would still be great (maybe for Keys-to-Go 3?). Other than that, though, this keyboard has been fantastic and has made for a beautiful addition to my backpack that I barely even notice is there because of its tiny size, lightweight design, and cover, so I don't have to worry and remind myself that it is there in fear of breaking it.

Logitech Keys-to-Go 2: Final Verdict

The Logitech Keys-to-Go 2 is ideal for users seeking a portable, durable, and highly capable keyboard. It's compact and responsive, has three Bluetooth notes, a full-function row of keys, and a Mac/Windows layout. While I wish it had a rechargeable battery, it lasts a long time, and I have had no issues. If you're traveling, use a tablet as your primary device, or want a portable keyboard for some other reason, you need to check out the Logitech Keys-to-go 2.

The best Xbox racing wheels are your gateway to the most immersive driving experience you can have in a wide variety of racing games. Typically, just like the best racing wheels for PC and other platforms, the top products for Xbox will usually be all-in-one packages, bundling a wheel pre-attached to a base and a set of pedals to get you started.

The best racing games - be they sim affairs like F1 25, more arcade-like experiences such as Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, or games that straddle the line like the Forza Horizon series - strongly benefit from the best Xbox racing wheels thanks to features like immersive force feedback, multi-cycle rotation, and pedal resistance to provide an authentic racing model.

Below, we’ve curated our own list of the best Xbox racing wheels based on first-hand experience, testing, and review of each product. We've endeavored to highlight options across the budget spectrum, as well as a specialist highlight or two for those who are looking for something extra.

The best Xbox racing wheels in 2026

The best Xbox racing wheel overall

When it comes to the best Xbox racing wheels, Logitech - much like on other platforms - tends to have the console down pat. The Logitech G923 is arguably the standout of the bunch, offering everything an entry-level racing wheel user could want at an enticing price.

The Logitech G923 retails at $399.99 / £349.99 / AU$799 but this wheel in particular is subject to frequent discounts throughout the year, and deals are practically a certainty during major sales events. This goes a long way to putting the Logitech G923 in our best overall slot, given the excellent value for money it can offer

But obviously, discounts mean nothing if the wheel isn’t up to par. Thankfully, we found that during our testing, the Logitech G923 was outstanding in terms of build quality, customizability and racing performance - making it an exceptional racing wheel pretty much across the board.

It’s pre-attached to a wheel base and comes with a set of three pedals for throttle, brake and clutch. All modules here are of superb quality with the leatherette wheel cover and metallic pedals offering strong grip during intense racing sessions.

Another thing that makes the Logitech G923 worth buying is its widespread support across most of the best racing games. From Forza Motorsport and F1 24 to EA Sports WRC and beyond, it’s tough to find a title that doesn’t have support for Logitech’s wheel. Even though it’s a few years old at this point, then, it remains an excellent choice and our Xbox racing wheel recommendation for most players.

The best budget Xbox racing wheel

The Turtle Beach Racer may be at that upper echelon of budget price tags at $179.99 / £139.99, but the extra cost is absolutely worth it for what is undoubtedly the best budget Xbox racing wheel.

Surprisingly good build quality is one thing, but the Racer sports several compelling features that set it apart from the budget-friendly crowd. Pressure-sensitive paddles are a joy to use for acceleration and braking, and the 360 degree turning angle is better than you usually get with cheaper wheels.

The standout feature for me, though, is certainly the included pair of lap rests. These adjustable metal panels are meant to curve around your lap, allowing you to sit back on the couch or in a chair while you play. This also removes the need to mount the wheel to a desk or similar flat surface (though this is also an option if you'd prefer).

The Turtle Beach Racer also received one of our Best of Gamescom 2025 awards for product excellence. And having now thoroughly tested the wheel at home myself for review, I can't recommend it enough as a strong wallet-friendly choice.

The best Xbox racing wheel for force feedback

What makes the Logitech G920 one of the best Xbox racing wheels is its superbly detailed force feedback - an immersion feature that causes the wheel to realistically react to differing road surfaces, bumps, braking and throttling. For our money, the G920 (which is the dedicated Xbox variant of the PlayStation-facing Logitech G29) provides the best force feedback at its price point.

The Logitech G920’s build quality is absolutely fantastic, with its leather-wrapped wheel providing superb grip and comfort over longer racing sessions. This also means it’s well-suited to endurance racing if you were particularly keen on long stints around Le Mans or the Nürburgring Nordschleife, for example.

The Logitech G920 will set you back $299.99 / £349.99 / AU$549.95 at retail price. Though once again, it’s often subject to strong savings throughout the year. The wheel is cheaper in the US than the G923 by some margin, while coming in at the same price as it in the UK. A set of pedals and a pre-fitted wheel base are also included in the package.

During testing across both Xbox Series X and PC, we found that the G920 is widely supported across most modern racing titles. Though there is one rather annoying drawback we ran into in our testing phase, and that’s the awkwardly stiff brake pedal. By default, you’ll really have to press your foot down to get this thing to work properly, so we recommend diving into your preferred games’ settings to up brake sensitivity first if the option is provided.

The best standalone Xbox racing wheel

If you’re already familiar with Xbox racing wheels and are looking for an enthusiast pick, then we highly recommend the Thrustmaster Ferrari 488 GT3 steering wheel. You’ll need to secure a wheel base and pedals separately here, meaning it’s not as beginner-friendly as the other plug-and-play options in this list, but this crossover with the legendary Italian sports car brand makes up for it in several ways.

Such ways include build and performance, both of which are close to immaculate with the Ferrari 488 GT3 wheel. A 1:1 replica of the wheel from the race car of the same name, it features sturdy carbon fiber cladding, plenty of action buttons for sim racing features and a pair of paddle shifters for changing gears - though we did find these to be a little noisy as we were testing the product for review.

Speaking on cost, you’re looking at $249.99 / £199.99 for the wheel by itself. That may sound like it’s approaching the affordable end of the Xbox racing wheel spectrum, though do keep in mind the absence of a wheel base here. If you don’t already own one, you’ll need an Xbox-compatible servo base like the TS-XW or the cheaper TX Racing Wheel Servo Base.

The best Xbox racing wheel accessory

If you tend to play your Xbox racing games with manual transmission enabled, then you may want to go the extra mile with your racing wheel setup with the Thrustmaster TH8S shifter add-on. It does what it says on the tin, providing an authentically tactile way to shift gears in games like Forza Horizon 5, EA Sports WRC, and Assetto Corsa Competizione. As such, it’s an attractive product for both casual and enthusiast sim racers.

At $69.99 / £59.99, it’s also reasonably priced for a racing wheel add-on especially if you’ve already saved money on a cheaper wheel, or one that you’ve purchased during a sale. As we note in our review, the value for money factor is strong here and the inclusion of seven forward gears allows for a great deal of versatility. As for connectivity, you’ve got USB-C or DIN options included in the box, and as a result, it’ll work with any of the best Xbox racing wheels. If you want to keep things consistent, we recommend pairing the TH8S with the Thrustmaster T128 for a robust and budget-friendly setup.

That said, the TH8S shifter isn’t best suited for F1 24 or other open wheel racers and their total of eight forward gears. If you’re an F1 head, then, you’ll be better off sticking to paddle shifters or action buttons on one of our other choices in this list. However, if you’re big on the casual drive-abouts offered in games like Forza Horizon 5 and The Crew Motorfest, then the TH8S is a fantastic accessory for Xbox racing wheel setups.

The best Xbox racing controller

The Thrustmaster eSwap XR Pro is certainly the odd one out in our list of the best Xbox racing wheels. Largely because it’s not a racing wheel at all - instead offering a more traditional controller experience with a particular racing-focus, and some terrific quality-of-life additions.

The eSwap XR Pro ships with a bespoke racing wheel module. Fit the module ion place of the left or right stick, and you can rotate the wheel on it to simulate the turning of a full-size steering wheel. In our testing, we found the module to have the perfect amount of sensitivity and is grippy enough that it rarely risks slipping out of your hands. As a result, the eSwap XR Pro can be something you may want to consider using if you’re finding Xbox racing wheels to be a bit above budget.

Plus, this controller has all the eSwap hallmarks including stick and d-pad modules that can be swapped around. Do you prefer PlayStation’s symmetrical stick layout? You can achieve that on the eSwap XR Pro. Overall, it’s a great racing controller and a fine alternative to larger wheel setups.

Unfortunately, at $179.99 / £179.99 / AU$379 it is pricier than many of the best Xbox controllers - as is the case with other products in the range like the Thrustmaster eSwap X2. That said, pick it up during a sale and you’ve got a nifty and novel gamepad with a racing wheel module that works shockingly well.

The best Xbox racing wheels FAQs

How we test the best Xbox racing wheels

When we test the best Xbox racing wheels or their accessories for review, we consider a wide number of factors to determine whether or not we feel they’re worth your time and money. Racing wheels - as peripherals go - tend to be on the pricier side of things, so knowing you’re buying something worth its asking price is paramount to us.

To that end, we analyze elements such as build quality, ease of setup, versatility and the ever-important performance. On that front, we look at factors such as responsiveness, customizability, rotation and features like immersive force feedback. We then weigh all this up with the price of the racing wheel in question and determine whether or not the overall feature set is worth what the manufacturer is asking.

We typically spend a number of weeks testing each product for review across Xbox and PC, recommending them based on the overall quality within their price bracket. We’ll also compare and contrast racing wheels with one another, to know where each sits in the market, and to potentially suggest strong alternatives if a particular product isn’t quite what you’re looking for.

Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL: two-minute review

The Logitech G515 sits on the cheaper end of the brand’s wireless keyboard range, but it is no cheap device. And why would it be? It’s a brilliant gaming keyboard with great-feeling keystrokes and a lovely layout, underpinned by Logitech’s brilliant wireless technology and class-leading software for programming and rebinding keys.

The most impressive thing about the Logitech G515 isn’t what it can do; it’s what it isn’t. While Logitech tends to stick to a less aggressive aesthetic with its gaming range of peripherals, the G515 takes things a step further… to the point where it looks more like a workplace keyboard than one fit for gaming. 

That’s a fairly defining trait of many low-profile keyboards (that and the smaller keycaps), but it bleeds through to the rest of the G515 – the keys aren’t very loud and there’s no space for any spare buttons, such as Logitech’s G-Keys (unless you program them in yourself with the G Hub app). There’s not even any dedicated media controls apart from doubled-up keys accessible with the function keys.

Available in black and white colorways (with ‘tactile’ and ‘linear’ key types available depending on the market), the Logitech G515 only weighs 880 grams (just under 2 lb). It comes with an included USB-A to USB-C cable for charging and wired use, with a rated battery life of up to 36 hours. It’s quite small, at 368mm long, 150mm wide and 22mm high (14.49 x 5.91 x 0.87 inches) – a size far below many of its counterparts in the Logitech G range.

It comes with Bluetooth support (though it doesn’t list what version), but you’ll likely be using the integrated USB-A wireless dongle more as it’s faster and much more reliable. 

Ergonomically the G515 commits no sins. Each key is easy to access, with the CTRL key easily pressed with a pinky or a nimble thumb and the space bar producing as satisfying a press as any other key on the board – no inconsistencies here.

If I could change any one thing about this keyboard, it’s that I’d like a volume wheel fitted to it somewhere here. Logitech’s much smaller TKL 60 keyboard had one off to the side, so I’m not sure why it’s absent here. Considering this keyboard’s bigger size in comparison to the TKL 60, there’s also room for dedicated pause, mute, back and forward buttons, which are also conspicuously missing. The absence of a wrist wrest – integrated or detachable – may also get on some people’s nerves.

Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL review: price and availability

• List price of $139.99 / £139.99 / AU$269.95
• Tactile/linear keypress options available in some markets
• Black and white colorways available

At $139.99 / £139.99 / AU$269.95 apiece, the Logitech G515 is priced well above most other low-profile keyboards, with its closest competitor being the Corsair K70 RGB MK2. The ‘low-profile’ category, which represents keyboards that don’t raise high off of the desk and are made up of thin and short keys. These still aren’t very common for gaming, but obviously the G515 is seeking to change that.

Unfortunately for some buyers, the keyboard doesn’t come with a wrist rest in the box. In some markets, buyers will be limited to the ‘tactile’ key switch option, while in the UK and the US, linear keys are also available at no extra charge (this review is based on the tactile switches, which is the only version available in Australia where I am located).

Again, unfortunately, there’s no cheaper option. I personally like having the choice of a wired option as it means you don’t have to worry about charging, but Logitech hasn’t provided such an option in any market. You can, however, keep it constantly plugged in using the included USB-A to USB-C cable.

Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL review: design and features

• Neutral aesthetic 
• Default lighting profile may annoy users
• No wrist support or dedicated media controls

Just because a keyboard is meant for gaming doesn’t mean it needs to look like the quintessential gaming keyboard, and the Logitech G515 epitomizes that ethos. The way this board feels, it seems more intended for somebody who likes tactile, responsive feedback when playing games, but also wants a sensible keyboard for typing away at their job. It feels like the perfect ‘working from home’ gadget – a nice compromise between a gaming accessory and something that might boost your productivity.

The thinner design of the G515 gives it an unassuming feel, more akin to a laptop keyboard than anything else. It’s lightweight but robust, with the keys easily removable for cleaning. Its design is so neutral that Logitech could sell this keyboard alongside its standard range of peripherals without the gaming badge attached – though the signature Gaming Mode button in the top left reminds the user that this is for play as much as it is for work. It sits right beside a button that switches to the dongle and another to switch to Bluetooth.

More on the ‘play’ side of things, every key on this board is backed by a fully customizable RGB light, with the default lighting profile being a breathing blue color, where the keys pulse in brightness on a loop (the WASD keys maintain a solid candy pink). The lights can be turned off by pressing FN + F8 and can be fully customized in the Logitech G app. The default lighting profile can also be changed through the app, so that when you plug this keyboard in, it starts with a different color profile to the usual blue and pink scheme. Changing the color profile would be a good idea if you want to maintain a less gamer-y aesthetic, but I personally found the default color profile to be inoffensive. 

It’s a shame, however, that this keyboard doesn’t come with included wrist support. Logitech sells such wrist supports separately if you really want one, but considering how expensive this keyboard is on its own, it could become a hefty investment if you’re kitting out your gaming setup anew. 

Even the lack of dedicated media controls feels like a missed opportunity. Instead, the usual pause/play, stop, back, forward, mute, volume down and volume up actions are bound to FN + F9, F10, F11, F12, PRNT, LOCK and P/B respectively. Dedicated media controls are one of the things that I love the most about the brand’s staple G Pro keyboard and it’s a shame that they’re not on this more palatable option. 

The keyboard feels brilliant in use, though. The model I was sent for this review features tactile keys, which press just as smoothly as any other Logitech G board of the same style. That’s underselling it from me actually – Logitech’s GX Brown tactile keys (which is what is used here) are by far my favorite from any peripheral manufacturer. They’re perfectly weighted to give you an affirmative response while not requiring too much effort from your fingertips to press in, all the while ensuring each keypress is deliberate. Unfortunately I can’t speak for Logitech’s linear key style, which is also available on this keyboard, but not in Australia (where I am).

There’s not really much to say about the layout of the keyboard apart from that it’s mastercrafted. There’s a formula that Logitech’s G division follows that doesn’t need to be broken and this is as good an example as ever. The Numpad often gets disregarded in favor of having a smaller board, which I personally prefer and so can’t complain that it’s not available here. Keys feel close enough together to avoid reaching for some, and yet accidental presses of surrounding keys is minimal. Moreover the function row is easily accessible by stationary hands even if you have small mitts. 

The shorter key caps that come with the low-profile design may irk some gamers however. It caught me off guard at first just how short these keys were when playing games, but I quickly got used to them and, after a short while, didn’t mind them at all. Some gamers like their keyboards to feel big and robust like props on a sci-fi spaceship, but this keyboard is going for a broader design than that. 

Finally on the software, the Logitech G peripheral app is brilliant for allowing you to customize both the lighting of the keyboard’s RGB and keybindings across the board. As already mentioned, RGB profiles can be saved to the board’s memory, however keybindings cannot. There’s nothing out of the ordinary here from Logitech, though the Logitech G app can be a bit daunting for a first-time user. I’d recommend having a good play with it at your leisure. 

Design & Features: 4 / 5

Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL review: performance

• Fast, affirmative keys
• Brilliant layout
• Keys may not be large enough for some gamers

The Logitech G515 is made up of plastic keys covered in a gentle coarse paint that keeps fingertips well positioned for affirmative presses while not being abrasive at all. The tactile Logitech Brown GX keys click in without making too much noise for an office setting, while being firm enough to avoid a mispress. 

Pressing the keys feels satisfying and guaranteed – you know you just clicked the button and a light press from a fat thumb or hanging finger won’t be enough. This goes for every key on the board and it feels brilliant. 

The Game Mode button definitely offers a subtle boost in performance in that you won’t fat-finger the Windows key with it's pressed. Switching between the dongle and the Bluetooth module is also quick and is perfect for if you want to use this keyboard with two devices. 

The level of programming that you can do with the G515 through G Hub is also pretty great, allowing the user to create whatever keybinds they want (and remove them at any time). 

Performance: 5 / 5

How I tested the Logitech G515

• Used daily for 1 week
• Used for gaming and productivity, both in office and at home

From the moment I received the Logitech G515, I started using it in the office, with my testing period lasting about a week. To test in different environments, I even took it home, where I used it to play games such as Alan Wake II, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023), Team Fortress II, Dress To Impress and Concord. For work, I used it for several productivity apps, including typing out this entire review. I also used the Logitech G Hub app to fiddle around with the customizations, changing the colors and setting up my own lighting profiles.

I’ve been a PC gamer for almost my entire life, and have reviewed quite a few peripherals, including different types of keyboards and mice, over the last few years. Several of these have been Logitech products, which has allowed me to compare the G515 to other keyboards from the brand and its competitors as objectively as possible.

[First reviewed August 2024]

Two-minute review

Clear as day, the Herman Miller x Logitech Vantum is all about ergonomics. As soon as you pull it out of the box you can feel your spine straightening out. And while it has heaps of features backing it up (pun intended), I can't help but feel like there's something off for the $895 / £895 price tag. 

The Vantum is more akin to an office chair than a racer-style gaming chair, many of which have passed beneath my buttocks. Instead of rolling with the trend, Logitech and Herman Miller have geared the Vantum toward the grown-up, corporate gamer with its rounded corners and sleek exoskeleton that comes in a variety of hilariously named colors, such as ‘Abyss Aqua’ and plain old ‘Obsidian Black.’ Just as the Embody before it - the pair's previous brainchild - it's made for gamers who want to taste superior comfort, while rocking a suave design that won't have people making jokes about your K:D ratio in the office. But just like the Embody, it's gonna cost ya.

It'll set you back $895 / £895. That's still $1,000 less than the Embody in the US, but nearly double the price of our favorite gaming chair, the Secretlab Titan EVO 2022. You expect to pay a premium for a quality-built gaming chair with little setup, though, and the Vantum is certainly that.

It took five minutes to put together, against the usual 20-50 minutes, thanks to the no-screw parts slotting together like humongous legos. There's zero rattle on the 3D armrests, easy and wide adjustability on the lumbar support and backrest, a mesh back for breathability, and a headrest that moves along with you. The Vantum screams quality and is damn comfortable. And while the seat is wide enough to sit cross-legged and ignore ergonomic advice like a gremlin, I've come to hate the armrests thanks to my tendency to do so.

The armrests forward/back, and in/out adjustability has no lock. While that means no messing with mechanisms to set them in place, leaning on them to stand up when they're pulled back can be dangerous. A couple of times I've forgotten as they whip forward suddenly, smashing my fingers into the desk. Omitting the armrest locks has to be an attempt to keep the price down, but at what cost?

Against its main mesh-back competitor, the $1,049 Razer Fujin Pro, they're on-par in terms of comfort and ease of assembly. While the Vantum is around $150/£100 cheaper and comes with a 12-year warranty against the Fujin's five years, you're also missing out on the all-important lockable armrests. That said, the Fujin doesn't have all those fancy color options.

In a straight toss-up between spending a little more on safety, airflow and a little more adjustability, or going brightly coloured with a better warranty, I'd rather put my fingers first and hope the Fujin Pro doesn't break after five years. That said, the Vantum is a bloody gorgeous design for less, and just as comfortable.

Price and availability

• List price: $895 / £895
• Available at the Herman Miller online store
• Available in the US and UK

Available in the US and the UK from the Herman Miller online store, the Vantum is a little more difficult to get hold of in, say, Australia. Meaning those living down under will likely pay a premium for it. It makes it harder to recommend for Aussies, since it's already a pricey bit of kit. 

The thing to note is that you can get most of the chairs on our best gaming chairs roundup for less, which makes it hard to recommend if you're on a budget. The Vantum is a sure contender for best premium chair against its sister, the Herman Miller x Logitech Embody, especially at $1,000 cheaper, but it still feels like it's missing something for the price. 

Specs

Design and aesthetics

• Gorgeous exoskeleton
• Great color options
• Recycled fabric

The Vantum sports lovely flowing lines and curvature on the exoskeleton, that's more akin to the shell of a modern sports car than the kind of racer bucket seat you expect to see from gaming chairs today. It's giving real Lotus Elise vibes, and the mesh back and textured seat mean that, while it does look like an office chair, it all adds to that almost carbon-fiber bonnet race car look. 

I love that the materials are made from 100% post-consumer recycled fabric, but as someone who sits with their legs tucked under them, I must say the choice of texture is a little rough. It means I don't ever feel like I'm sliding forward off the chair, though. So there's that.

I appreciate that there are both subtle pastel and gorgeous color-pop options depending on your preference for standing out. And the fact that the mechanisms are marked with color accents for easy recognition is also great.

Comfort and adjustability

• Fantastic adjustability
• Incredible comfort
• Armrests lack lock and rotation

From a sliding seat depth, to lumbar support, and even adjustable height and rotation on the headrest, the Vantum comes with some fantastic ergonomic mechanisms. Most are easy to use, though there's something to be desired when it comes to the armrests.

While they don't rattle, and are chamfered to give you a better angle when playing with a controller, there are cheaper chairs out there with 4D armrests that actually lock. For a premium chair, I would expect Herman Miller and Logitech to have added rotation and simple safety elements to the armrest. That doesn't necessarily overshadow the sheer comfort the rest of the chair brings, especially if you're broad enough already that you leave the arms at their widest position, but smaller people and those who move around a lot leaning on the arms will have a problem.

It's a little sad that the seat doesn't quite go down as low as I would like with a minimum height of 18 inches. Using it with the short office desks, it almost voids the great spinal ergonomics altogether as I'm constantly leaning forward to type. 

That said, the addition of numeric tilt and tension limiters is fantastic. It means I can set it to my preferred tension and tilt angle without the usual trial and error. You do have to lean quite far forward to see the numbers and use the mechanisms, but they're otherwise a joy to use.

Assembly

• Very minimal assembly
• Easy instructions

Quite possibly one of the easiest to assemble chairs aside from the Embody's zero setup, there are only three images illustrating the process and they fit on a single box flap. I spent all of five minutes putting the Vantum together, which against the usual 30-45 minutes of reading instructions and screwing bits together, is an absolute breath of fresh air.

It's pretty intuitive too, but if you're not someone who puts gaming chairs together on a daily basis, there's a handy QR code that lets you download an instruction PDF that is 90% images. It's coherent and there's very little reading involved.

There are a couple of chairs to consider in the same class as the Herman Miller x Logitech Vantum. Refer to the quick specs sheet below for more details on our top recommendations.

How I tested the Herman Miller x Logitech Vantum

• Spent a week sitting in the chair on a daily basis
• Yanking the mechanisms back and forth

It takes a little while to get a feel for a gaming chair, so I made sure to give the Vantum a good run, sitting in it for the best part of a full work week. I made sure to switch around between standard, cheap office chairs and the other premium chairs I've referenced that are sitting around the office, to get a good feel for how it measures up against the competition.

To the annoyance of other office-goers also I made sure to rigorously test the mechanisms, pushing them back and forth and up and down to check their ease of access, use and noisiness.

First reviewed July 2024.

Logitech is reportedly working on a “Forever Mouse,” which is dubbed a premium computer mouse that you only have to buy once. Company CEO Hanneke Faber recently sat down with TheVerge for an interview about what the brand has in store for the future. 

She mentions how a Logitech team member showed her a prototype of a “fantastic-quality [and] well-designed… mouse.” It was a little heavy, but it had a system in place for receiving new features via software patches. Furthermore, you wouldn't be forced to purchase a next-gen model to see improvements.

What features the Forever Mouse will obtain are unknown as Faber was pretty tight-lipped in the interview, although she did drop a few clues. First, she envisions the device will have some sort of subscription service tied to it but didn't go as far as to say how much the mouse or the service will cost.

However, judging from her responses, the product could be somewhat expensive. Nilay Patel, the interviewer, and TheVerge’s Editor-in-Chief, threw out $200 as a potential price point. Faber doesn’t acknowledge the potential price tag, nor does she outright dismiss it.

Productivity and durability

Near the end of the interview, Logitech’s CEO opines about what could arrive on the Forever Mouse. Productivity may be a significant focus, with her saying the device has the potential to help people by introducing "shortcuts to the large language models and all kinds of other things.” She claims that she recently met someone who has 120 shortcuts programmed into their mouse.

Another potential benefit of the sturdy accessory is that it could help Logitech achieve its climate goals. The Forever Mouse has the potential to be quite sturdy, allowing it to better resist damage or drops. And the device will always feel cutting-edge because of the software patches. If someone doesn't want it anymore, they can sell the Forever Mouse to, say, Best Buy for cash, and the retailer can then refurbish the device for resale.

That’s pretty much all of the pertinent information we can gather about this mystery mouse. Much of the interview talks about Logitech’s business practices and upcoming changes. Faber wants the company to eventually leave the smart home industry, although they will continue supporting their video doorbell and security camera for the foreseeable future.

Analysis: Potential features

It’s admittedly hard to imagine what kind of upgrades could come to the Forever Mouse through its supposed service. Given how generative AIs are all the rage nowadays, we can see Logitech implementing shortcuts to a large language model like ChatGPT or Google Gemini. 

But beyond that, what could you do with a computer mouse’s software? They already have Options Plus, an app that allows you to automate tasks through macros.

If and when Bluetooth 6.0 launches, the subscription service could allow the Forever Mouse to support the standard. Perhaps users can change the DPI sensor’s sensitivity in a way similar to the MX Master 3S. Or, if you want to get a little fantastical, maybe a turbo click could be added, where a single press of the left button registers as multiple presses. That can be helpful in video games.

We've asked Logitech to ask if they could provide more insight into Forever Mouse and its subscription service. If we hear back, this story will be updated.

In the meantime, check out TechRadar's list of the best mouse for 2024.

Logitech G920: One-minute review

While far from the newest racing wheel on the market, the Logitech G920 is still a popular pick and, having spent much time with it over the last couple of weeks, it’s easy to see why. Compatible with current and last-generation Xbox consoles (as well as PC), the Logitech G920 is superbly simple to set up thanks to its plug-and-play design. Just hook it up to the mains and your console or PC via USB connection and you’re ready to go.

The G920 also boasts exceptional build quality, with firm plastic forming the wheel base, pedal floor and the center of the wheel itself where you’ll find the layout of Xbox buttons. The trio of throttle, brake and clutch pedals are crafted from brushed stainless steel, and the leather wrapping around the wheel provides sturdy and comfortable grip.

It holds up performance-wise too, thanks to 900-degree rotation that makes it an excellent choice for the very best racing sims and sim-lite titles like F1 24, Forza Motorsport and EA Sports WRC. Force feedback from the wheel is pretty strong by default, though this can be adjusted based on your preferences on the PC G Hub software or in games that support force feedback settings.

The only real sticking point - almost literally - is the incredibly stiff brake pedal which certainly isn’t suited for beginners or casual racing enjoyers. It’s the one part of the Logitech G920’s package that you may consider to be a deal breaker. While you can make things a little easier for yourself here by adjusting the pedal’s sensitivity in the G Hub app, those of you on Xbox exclusively will need to rely on settings from game to game.

Logitech G920: Price and availability

• $299.99 / £349.99 / AU$549.95
• Pedals are included with purchase
• Available at Amazon and Logitech’s website

The Logitech G920 will run you $299.99 / £349.99 / AU$549.95 at its retail price. However, given the wheel’s age, we do see it subject to some pretty great discounts (we’ve seen it drop below $200 in the US, for example), especially during big sales periods throughout the year. The wheel is purchasable and readily available at Amazon and Logitech’s own store page.

Otherwise, its retail price is about what to expect for a mid-range, but entry-level-friendly racing wheel. The Thrustmaster T248, for example, comes in at $300 / £300 and offers  largely similar features. The G920 also costs considerably less than some premium choices, including the Thrustmaster T-GT 2 which comes in at an eye-watering $799 / £699. Though options like this are typically targeted at racing sim enthusiasts.

Logitech G920: Specs

Logitech G920: Design and features

Logitech products are typically known for high build quality and that’s no different with the G920 racing wheel. Almost every aspect of the wheel’s design has been built to meet a high standard, from its sturdy non-hollow plastic to the brushed stainless steel pedals.In terms of build you’re absolutely getting your money’s worth, and nothing here ever felt wonky or loose. A solidly-built product all around.

The wheel itself is the highlight here. Hand-stitched leather helps to provide a sturdy and comfortable grip during even the most technically demanding circuits. The center of the wheel has your standard Xbox controller layout, sans the analog sticks. The d-pad, share button and left bumper are over to the left, with the four face buttons, menu button and right bumper on the opposite side. 

The Logitech logo sits firmly in the middle, with the Xbox Home button just below. Positioned just behind the wheel are two large metal paddles that can be assigned as you like on a per-game basis. Personally, I usually preferred to assign gear shifts to these in the absence of a dedicated gear shifter with my setup.

I’ll talk more about the pedals soon, but they are solid in terms of build quality. The brushed stainless steel lends a classy, professional feel. Meanwhile, the pedals’ plastic base is grippy and rarely alters position on carpeted surfaces without some degree of force applied. But again, more on this later.

One thing worth noting is that you’ll have a bit of cable management to handle with the Logitech G920. The wheel itself needs plugging into the mains, so be sure you have a nearby plug socket free during play. You’ll also need to wire up the pedals and wheel base together and - finally - hook the wheel up to your console or PC. It ends up being quite a few wires, and while the wheel base itself has a built-in cable tidy, it’s something to be aware of if you already don’t have great cable management for your setup.

Logitech G920: Performance

Across all compatible racing games I tested, including F1 24, Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon 5, and EA Sports WRC, the Logitech G920 felt perfectly responsive across a range of different racing styles. The wheel’s 900-degree rotation felt more than plenty for racers with varying depths of simulation, and I never found myself having to adjust its sensitivity in-game or via the G Hub software.

I ended up being a big fan of its force feedback, too. It definitely took a bit of getting used to, as it felt relatively aggressive when compared to newer wheels on the market. But I found this to be a great fit for rally, in particular, where various types of terrain were rendered accurately and felt appropriately meaty in response.

There were also no issues to mention with the throttle pedal, which was brilliantly responsive and provided just enough resistance by default to let you manage speed without your foot slipping or losing position. Unfortunately, the brake pedal is a different story.

By default, the brake pedal is simply uncomfortably stiff, to the point where you really need to press your foot in to brake even remotely effectively. Monza’s iconic 90-degree first corner made this issue very apparent, where I felt I needed to apply the brakes far earlier than I would on a controller simply because I couldn’t get the force I needed by default. 

I ended up having to set the brake pedal’s sensitivity to maximum in the G Hub app for braking to become effective on PC. And on Xbox Series X, I was left to the whims of individual game settings in order to adjust sensitivity. It does feel like the brake pedal is intended for more serious sim racing titles like iRacing and Assetto Corsa. It’ll likely also help to have a racing seat with a frame to slide the pedal base into at an angle, making it easier to apply pressure on the brakes.

How I tested the Logitech G920

• Tested for two weeks
• Tested across Xbox and PC
• A variety of racing games played

I used the Logitech G920 over the course of a couple of weeks across both Xbox Series X and PC. Being a huge racing game fan, I aimed to test out as many disciplines as possible with the wheel across games like F1 24, EA Sports WRC, Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon 5 and Euro Truck Simulator 2.

I spent time with each game customizing control and sensitivity settings with the G920, either in-game or with the G Hub companion software. There was an element of finding a sweet spot with each game, though I did find that I had to maximize the brake pedal’s sensitivity across all games tested.

First reviewed July 2024.

Virtual meetings have continued to reign supreme even after most of the world returned to the "new normal" post-pandemic. The ease of connecting with anyone around the world in a matter of seconds is just too convenient, especially as a large portion of the workforce is now remote and/or works from home. That said, if virtual meetings are the primary way people connect beyond an email, Slack, or introductory phone call, then it's just as essential to put your best foot forward in a virtual meeting as you would in person. If you were trying to make a good impression, you would only show up with shoes, unshowered, or a ratty shirt. Putting yourself on a good display by way of having a quality camera is now the same level of importance as dressing professionally for a meeting. 

A grainy, poorly focused camera at a poor angle or looking up your nose from your laptop gives an unprofessional feeling to your presentation in that meeting. That is the image you are presenting. However, alternatively, if you look crisp, in focus, at a good angle, with good lighting, then you look put together and professional.

For that reason, I have loved using the Logitech MX Brio for the last several months. It's one of the best business webcams I've ever used, and I've even been in countless meetings where people ask what camera I use because it looks so professional and put together. What's mind-blowing about this is that there is nothing fancy that I am doing, nor am I anywhere near a professional photographer.

Logitech MX Brio: Unboxing & first impressions

Logitech sends the MX Brio in an unassuming, simple box with good packaging. The box contains the webcam, a mounting clip, a USB-C to USB-C 3.0 cable, and essential documentation.

From the first look, I loved the MX Brio's design language. The Graphite colorway feels very space-grey-like and matches the rest of my Apple gear beautifully. It looks and feels premium and has a sturdy build that won't break on me after using it for a week.

Logitech MX Brio: Design & build quality

After setting up the camera to my liking, I found it is built with premium quality. Even elements such as the privacy shutter add a level of understated eloquence. I love how easily the camera can point down towards my desk for a desk shot, and I love that the universal mount can fit my MacBook Pro's lid, monitor, iPad, tripod, camera arm, or atop my beloved BenQ Lightbar. No matter where I wanted to put this camera, there was a way to get it right where I wanted it for the perfect camera angle.

Logitech MX Brio: In use

As I mentioned, I love this camera - for me, it's one of the best Logitech webcams I've ever tried. It works great. I love that my setup time, from plugging my laptop in to sitting down and taking a meeting, is next to nothing. Further, if I don't mind a moment longer setup time, I can keep the privacy shade closed, ensuring privacy no matter what (even though I don't leave my laptop plugged in when I am not at my desk). 

It took a couple of minutes to dial in my photo settings how I wanted, but it was super easy. Again, I am far from a professional photographer. I understand the basics of how images work with all the modifications that can be made to help make a photo look better. Armed with my mediocre knowledge and skill level, I got the picture quality to look fantastic even in my basement office with mood lighting and no natural camera lights. As I am on Mac, this camera also integrates perfectly with the portrait mode and studio lighting settings native to Mac's video output in the most recent software update. While I usually use my AirPods Pro for virtual meetings, I tested the microphone on this camera to know how good it is. Overall, I was pleased with it, though not as blown away as I was with the image quality. It's a massive upgrade from internal mics to most laptops, but I still prefer the audio quality from my AirPods Pro 2.

This camera has earned a place on my primary home office desk, where I take most of my business meetings thanks to its ease of use, quality camera shot, and ability to mount just about anywhere without needing anything extra.

Logitech MX Brio: Final verdict

The Logitech MX Brio sets a high bar for webcams with its 4K resolution and extensive feature set. While its price might be steep for some, the exceptional video, decent audio quality, advanced customization options, and sleek design make it a worthwhile investment for professionals looking to boost their virtual meeting presence.

Accessory maker Logitech has just launched the Keys-To-Go 2, a super-slimline keyboard for tablets and phones that’s designed for working on the move. It provides a much-needed update to the original Keys-To-Go and offers a range of intriguing new features.

Weighing 222g, the Keys-To-Go 2 is thin and lightweight, which should make it ideal for dropping into a bag when you hit the road. It comes with a built-in cover to protect it from the kinds of scuffs that can frequently occur when working and traveling. The cover also doubles up as a makeshift stand.

Logitech says the keyboard is “multi-OS compatible,” and it can switch between three different devices connected using Bluetooth. There’s one version with a “Universal” keyboard layout that works with Android, ChromeOS, Windows, iPadOS, iOS and macOS, plus an Apple-specific edition with a layout for iPadOS, iOS and macOS.

The Keys-To-Go 2 is partly constructed from recycled plastic, with this material making up 36% of the Pale Grey and Graphite versions and 33% of the Lilac model. The aluminum in the keys is also apparently made with renewable energy, while the product’s paper packaging comes from FSC-certified forests.

Your next iPad accessory?

The original Logitech Keys-To-Go launched in 2014 and has had a few revisions since then. The new version, though, is a totally redesigned product and looks very different to its predecessor.

Whereas the first Keys-To-Go had thin fabric keys and lacked a cover, the new version features scissor switches underneath its keys, which should make for a better typing experience. The keyboard’s chassis, meanwhile, is a more traditional plastic affair.

The original Keys-To-Go had a thickness of 6mm. The new edition runs from 4.35mm at its thinnest to 8.97mm at its thickest point. Instead of rechargeable or AA batteries, it uses a coin cell that Logitech says will give it up to three years of juice.

Logitech is selling the Keys-To-Go 2 for $79 / £79 (around AU$150). If you’re after a portable keyboard that works with multiple devices at once, it could well be worth a look.
