CrunchDeals: Logitech Harmony 1100 Remote for $300

Guys! Guys! There’s a killer deal on the Logitech Harmony 1100 remote! It’s the great big one with the touchscreen, and it came out at the beginning of this year so you know it’s still cool, and looks impressive with your A/V setup. Plus, it’s only $300, which is a whole lot cheaper then the $500 it normally goes for. Plus, when we reviewed in back in March, Matt really liked it. → Read More

Crunchdeals: Logitech Harmony 670 Remote

Everyone knows that we here at CrunchGear love Logitech’s Harmory remotes. Normally though, they are really expensive and perhaps out of the reach of the casual buyer. Good news though, Tiger Direct has one hell of a deal on the 670, a IR remote designed to work with pretty much everything out there. → Read More

Logitech outs the G110 gaming keyboard

When I think of Logitech gaming keyboards, I picture large, oddly shaped creations because that’s what they traditionally look like. However, the new G110 throws out those styling cues for something a little more minimalistic and I like it. → Read More

The Logitech MK605 Notebook kit is a one-stop-shop

Logitech has the right idea here. Instead of making notebook owners piecemeal their notebook accessories together, Logitech now has the MK605 Notebook Kit. The kit isn’t anything fancy, but you can guarantee that retail flacks will be pushing this $99 bundle onto holiday shoppers. → Read More

Review: Logitech Harmony 700 universal remote

The Harmony 700 just works. It doesn’t look as fancy as the 900, but I don’t care. What I care about in a remote is the most functionality for the lowest price. And let me tell you that this remote scores high in that area. I don’t care if I spoil the review, I just have to say that I love this remote. → Read More

Logitech releases new guitars, drums for Wii/XB3600 Guitar Hero

Ahhh, just what the doctor ordered: Logitech just released a wireless guitar controller that looks like a kinda-sorta Superstrat played by Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden along with a collapsable drum kit for the Wii and the XBox360. → Read More

Hands-on with the Logitech Harmony 700

I didn’t have high hopes for the Harmony 700 this morning. It looked like a cheap remote. The press shot made it look very utilitarian. But then I got my hands on one and boy was I surprised. This remote is nice. Yeah, it’s not as shiny as the Harmony One or 900, but it’s solid, very comfortable to hold, and recharges via microUSB. Me likey. Expect a full review in a few days but until then, check out the pics after the jump. → Read More

Logitech announces two new products, Squeezebox Radio and Squeezebox Touch

Logitech announced two new audio devices today, the Squeezebox Radio and Squeezebox Touch. The Squeezebox Radio is intended to be a portable device, with a built in speaker and wifi capability (allowing access to your music library). The Squeezebox Touch is intended to tie into your home theater system, providing the same type of access (via your home network) to you music library. → Read More

Logitech goes downmarket with the $150 Harmony 700

Now that the Harmony 900 has effectively taken the top tier away from the older Harmony One, Logitech needed a suitable remote for the bottom tier. That’s where the $150 Harmony 700 comes in. From the presser, it seems that this new remote might simply be a slightly stripped down Harmony One. The look isn’t that clean, the LCD screen is smaller, and the charging system a little janky with AAs, but it’s still got what makes a Harmony special: dead simple macro setup thanks to great PC software. → Read More

Logitech's new mice track on just about anything

Logitech’s newly announced mice, the Performance MX and Anywhere MX, make use of a brand new tracking technology that allows them to be used even on clear glass. Now, I had this same thought when Microsoft unveiled its Bluetrack mice: who uses their mouse on glass, or marble? I think the cases where this technology can come into play are extremely rare.

I’m sure the “Darkfield” technology results in more accurate tracking on other surfaces as well, however, so it’s not like it’s a one-trick pony. Pics, video, and pricing inside. → Read More

The Logitech Wireless Desktop treats your fingers to a new key design

If the Logitech blog post about the new Logitech Wireless Desktop MK 700 is to be believed, the company has come up with a new type of key design. The Logitech Incurve keys apparently “cradle your fingers for greater comfort.” I’m all for keyboard innovation, but I think my standard white, full-size Apple keyboard also has concave keys. → Read More

CrunchDeals: Logitech Harmony 1000 remote for only $147

There isn’t anything that impresses more than a touchscreen remote. Sure, the form factor is a little awkward at first, but damn are they sexy. When the Harmony 1000 remote debuted a few years ago, it carried an MSRP of $500. Now you can get the newer 1100 model for close to that or this one for only $147. I’d take this one. → Read More

Unifying by Logitech is a proprietary system we can get behind

Now this just makes sense. Instead of having a receiver for every USB wireless device, Logitech managed to stuff the right goods into its Unifying receiver. This little guy can pair with up to six Unifying-compatible Logitech mice and keyboards at the same time, just like Bluetooth peripherals have been able to for ages. The first device should be picked up by Windows and each device after that just needs to be added through the Unifying software pack.[PSGallery=9uav44v4we] → Read More

Review: Logitech G35 7.1 surround-sound headphones

The short version: if you have the money to spare, these headphones are the only thing you need for your gaming and media PC. Logitech’s newest G-series lineup is impressive, but I noted when it was announced that unless you’ve got serious cashflow, you really need to look elsewhere. The most unabashedly luxurious option was the G19 keyboard with its built-in LCD screen, but I found it to be an immature platform and a memory hog to boot. The G35, though not without its quirks, is an absolutely excellent piece of hardware and though it will run you north of a hundred bucks, it’s probably the only headset you’ll want or need for a long time. → Read More
