The Gaming Mouse G500 refreshes the Logitech G5 Laser Mouse with the latest gaming-grade laser engine, while the Gaming Headset G330 delivers comfort that won’t quit – even after long hours of battle.
“As more and more people make gaming with family and friends the new night out, Logitech continues to push the envelope with the Logitech G-series,” said Ruben Mookerjee, Logitech’s director of product marketing for gaming. “If you’re getting serious about gaming – or have already seen the light – then the best way to dive ever deeper into the game is by putting the G500 mouse in your good hand and the G330 headset on your head. Victory is up to you.”
The successor to the classic Logitech G5 Laser Mouse, the Logitech Gaming Mouse G500 features a gaming-grade laser engine – reaching a maximum hand speed of 165 inches per second (ips) and a maximum acceleration force of 30 gs. An on-the-fly adjustable-dpi gives the right level of precision – from pixel-precise targeting (200 dpi) to fast maneuvers (up to 5700 dpi). Plus, full-speed USB helps ensure that the G500 mouse is smooth and responsive.
The G500 mouse has a rugged finish and an updated shape – with a broader thumb rest and a smoothed-out pinkie ledge. It offers weight tuning, including up to 27 grams of extra weight for personalized feel and control. The additional weights fit into a removable chassis and, when not in use, can be stored in the accompanying case. A dual-mode scroll wheel provides click-to-click scrolling that’s perfect for weapon selection. It also has ten programmable buttons.
The lightweight G330 headset has an adjustable, behind-the-head design – the first of its kind for gaming headsets – that slides for a personalized fit. To further relieve common pressure points on your head, the G330 headset features a soft silicone-lined headband and pivoting ear pads.
A noise-canceling microphone reduces annoying background noise and rotates out of the way when not in use. The in-line audio controls allow volume adjustment. An included USB adapter lets users choose to connect digitally to any USB port for enhanced audio or directly to the PC sound card via 3.5 mm jacks.
The Logitech Gaming Mouse G500 is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in September for a suggested retail price of $69.99. The Logitech Gaming Headset G330 is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in August for a suggested retail price of $49.99.
