Somewhere deep in the bowels of Logitech, a committee, attempting to think outside of the box, created a box. It’s called the Cube (even though it’s clearly not a cube) and it’s a mouse. And a presenter. I think. → Read More
There’s already a bunch of music apps available for Logitech’s Squeezebox (including Rhapsody, Last.fm, Pandora, DI.fm, Napster, Sky.fm, Spotify and Deezer) but this morning there was some good news for MOG fans in the United States.
Logitech has teamed up with MOG to give users access to the latter’s music streaming library, which consists of 13 million songs, custom radio stations, artist-only stations and more. → Read More
Collect all the things! Logitech’s latest venture involves slapping Modern Warfare 3 logos on their wares and selling them at the same price. Yep, you can show your FPS allegiance without paying a silly premium. The upcoming MW3 G105 gaming keyboard and G9X gaming mouse will cost the same as their standard counterparts. A move that is consumer-friendly and, at the same time, rather scary. → Read More
Logitech is known for their keyboards and mice, and the company always seems to find new ways to make what should be boring old accessories interesting. The MX 3200 Laser keyboard and mouse are an awesome example, as Logitech said the combo pack was built using an AgION surface meant to disrupt the growth of bacterial cells.
Not a bad idea at all, but the way that Logitech marketed the MX 3200 Laser didn’t please the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency one bit. → Read More
Logitech’s Harmony division has long made some of the very best universal remotes. But their latest product turns the very best smartphones and tablets into a great universal remote. Meet Harmony Link and the Harmony Link App. → Read More
Looks familiar, eh? Logitech clearly drew inspiration from Apple for the Wireless Touchpad, but that’s fine in my book. The Wireless Trackpad doesn’t have the magic repertoire of the Apple counterpart, but the new Logitech product seemingly has enough parlor tricks to get job done and on a Windows computer no less.
It’s hard to ignore the similarities of the Logitech Wireless Touchpad and the Apple Magic Trackpad, therefore it’s equally hard to ignore past posts. You see, per MG, the mouse’s days are numbered, but apparently, since his infamous posts declaring the traditional mouse’s death by Apple was published well over a year ago, the venerable mouse must be dying a slow, comfortable death. No, the mouse isn’t exactly dead, but MG was right by declaring the Magic Mouse a harbinger foretelling our computing future. I guess the future is here. → Read More
When it comes to gaming, the better the mouse, the better the gamer. Logitech today announced its next-gen G-series gaming mouse, the G300, and if this thing doesn’t give you a competitive edge, you need to spend more time practicing. With nine customizable controls, you may not have to use the keyboard at all, meaning all the control you could want rests nicely under the palm of your hand. → Read More
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 owners? Your keyboard case has finally arrived. The Logitech Keyboard Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a long product name for what is popularly called a Zagg Case. Let’s not get caught up in the manufacturing design details, but this keyboard case carries a Logitech badge and per the product page, is a Zagg product. The branding is just like Logitech’s iPad 2 keyboard case. In fact this product is almost an exact copy of the iPad version. It’s just designed to work with the GalTab 10.1 instead. → Read More
GTVHackers has released an Android 3.1 beta built specifically for the Logitech Revue Google TV device. The hitch? It’s not quite ready for public consumption, it could destroy your user experience, and you could end up with a GTV that can’t be restored to its original OS or that is completely bricked.
You can download the update here and instructions are here.

I’ll just say it: Google TV is sinking and taking its crew down with her. The service promised to bring new life to HDTVs when it launched last October. But it didn’t. Big media made sure of it by blocking access to their online streaming, seemingly taking away Google TV’s most novel feature. Without online streaming, Google TV’s awesome search tool is crippled and the system is just an overpriced DLNA client and Netflix streamer.
Logitech somewhat signaled the end of the platform’s life today but slashing the price of the Revue unit down to $100. This comes just months after the CEO stated with its 2010 Q4 earnings that they are enthusiastic about Google TV even with just 5 million in sales during last the last holiday season. Today’s price cut states loud and clear that Google TV is on its last leg and one of its launch partners are trying everything to get rid of back inventory. → Read More
Pretty much every webcam is going to be HD from here on out, but the ones we’ve seen have generally been a bit bulky. Logitech has decided to make their new one more portable, but in the process seem to have created something that shares DNA with one of those freaky robotic snakes. → Read More
Way back in the old days I bought a keyboard for my Palm V, thinking that I would be able to type into it and become a proto-ultraportable ninja. That never worked, and I worry that Logitech is bringing us more of the same with this dump of tablet accessories including a $70 keyboard, Bluetooth mouse (for Android tablets only), and wireless speakers. The keyboard and speakers work with both iPads and Android devices.
The devices will be available at the end of the month and the mouse goes for $50 while the Bluetooth speakers cost $100. I saw these things last week and found them sufficiently cool but I worry that adding a keyboard to the tablet mix may be a bit of overkill. Have you been using a Bluetooth keyboard with your goodies? Yes? No? → Read More
If you’re the proud owner of a new Skype-enabled 2011 Panasonic Viera television, there’s probably one question that’s been plaguing you: “Where the deuce do I find a decent TV-mountable webcam for this thing?” Well, Logitech makes one — same one they’ve had for six or seven months now — and now it’s specifically compatible with your TVs. Just plug it in and it should go. Same $150 price, same everything otherwise. Congratulations, you can now Skype someone from the comfort of your couch. The nightmare is over! And no, you can’t install the new 1.1 firmware on the old one. Stop trying, you just can’t. → Read More
Logitech reported making $5 million on the Revue Google TV device. The device, which allows users to browse TV shows in a unique, Android-esque interface, is still a priority at Logitech and, according to their CEO, they are “enthusiastic about Google TV.” → Read More
The Logitech Alert security camera system is a dead simple remote monitoring service and the company just outed an iPad companion app. In many ways the iPad version is just a retooled version of the current web app with live video viewing as the main feature. Users can view previously recorded alerts, change the settings on the cameras, and view live 720p video complete with sound. The app itself is free although to use any feature besides the live mode, a $79.99 subscription to the Logitech Alert Web and Mobile Commender service is required. Logitech’s cameras are on the pricey side, but feature great video quality, and as this app shows, good support from Logitech. → Read More
Logitech has a tasty offer going on a high quality set of earphones. The Ultimate Ears SuperFi 4 is on sale $49 at Logitech but if you use the coupon code from DealNews — superfi4_311 — it drops the price down to $29.99. Plus there’s free shipping. Nice, eh? Now, the reviews on Amazon, where the set retailers for around $50, aren’t all stellar. They’re only rated at two and half stars with 90 reviews so your millage my vary. → Read More
All of us at CrunchGear can testify that Logitech makes solid audio gear. The Z623s are a good deal, the G35 headset is a monster, and Greg says he’s been using the Z5500 5.1 system happily for several years now. Well, Logitech’s new Z906 is meant to replace that last one: it’s a brand-new 500-watt 5.1 system selling for the totally reasonable price of $350 not quite as reasonable but still okay price of $400 (initial press release info was wrong). → Read More
Cisco has long dominated the enterprise video conferencing world, but Logitech wants to change that. Logitech currently does video conferencing with their own version called the LifeSize video streaming system. As more and more business profressionals are skipping the airplanes and going for teleconferencing, Logitech sees an opportunity to gain some market share. And due the the large user base of iDevices in business, Logitech is going to support conferencing on iPads and iPhones first. → Read More
It’s time once again for another CrunchDeal. This one comes from Logitech by way of the Logitech Z-4 80-watt 2.1-Channel Speaker System. I still got my Logitech X-230s from years ago and they still work great — though, the models after had gone downhill in terms of sound quality. → Read More
Your guy is great, am I right? He’s fun, he makes you laugh, and he can, in a pinch, be counted on to do laundry. He even, occasionally, shaves! Why not reward this positive behavior the way Cesar Milan, the Dog Whisperer, rewards an unruly dog: through forceful direction and, when the time is right, kind words and a treat.
Here are a few great items for your geeky SO this Valentine’s Day and we’ve tried to find items that you can pick up in the next few days. While it’s always nice just to go out for dinner and a movie, why not make this year a bit more special? → Read More
