Logitech is releasing their G-series gaming peripherals.

EDIT: oops the G5 is wired.

Weight-system seems interesting.

But one thing that caught my attention was the 2.4ghz operating frequency of the wireless transmissions, their asking for trouble right there....wireless B uses 2.4ghz transmission thingy.

Wireless G also uses 2.4GHz frequency.

The article noted that it will autoswitch frequencies if there is interference.

2.4Ghz frequency with 24 channels...

But damn, I really want that G5 and the keyboard...

Total: $140-$150

I like the keyboard, but the LCD on it is kinda useless for what they say. I mean who would look down at their keyboard to check their health or score?

woot new logitech stuff, i hate those razer mice. Seen sent's at the lanparty, logitechs are just made for me, lol.

madcow235 · Aug 11, 2005

i just bought an mx518 like 2 months ago but that one looks amazing

Nephewkp · Aug 11, 2005

I guess I must demote my mx510 to my laptop and grab a G5 in Sept.

Kevin007 · Aug 11, 2005

So, do we all still want an mx518? The paint job looks interesting, on both. I see all the companies like copying each other. I agree, the logitech is cooler than the razer IMO.

I was wondering when they were coming out with a new model.

zip22 · Aug 12, 2005

they're not really copying, its just that theres only 1 company that produces (pattents maybe?) the optical sensors. they contracted with razor, which is why the diamondback was king of the hill spec wise for a while, but now that the contract is up, the mx518 is the same specs. now these two have the same specs as well. its pretty much a question of ergonomics and drivers at this point (if price remains the same across the board, which it should).

fuzzba11 · Aug 12, 2005

Mmmm, that G7 makes me think about replacing my MX1000. The keyboard looks a bit like the black Saitek Eclipse, pretty sweet.

Lat · Aug 12, 2005

looks like my mx510 is getting dated...well, new mouse time! soon...

Sentential · Aug 12, 2005

I honestally still like my Razer better. I never was a fan of Logitec mice. They are too big for my tastes

not for me, i LOVE the shape of the logitech mice. this truly does make me forget about razer forever because i dont like their more conventional mouse shape. those mice are sweet.

NaNoBLaZe01 · Aug 12, 2005

it looks nice but it seem way too complicated for just a mouse. i was thinking about picking up a mx518 but i can wait, gogo intellimouse!!
