In brief: Logitech unveiled its latest gaming innovations at Logi Play 2024, the brand's annual digital showcase. The peripheral maker introduced a wide range of new products, including keyboards, mice, headsets, and sim racing gear, along with a surprise upgrade to one of its popular mice.
First up is the impressive G915 X wireless gaming keyboard, which Logitech claims is the "most advanced low-profile gaming keyboard ever built." Measuring just 23mm thick, it's one of the slimmest low-profile keyboards available for gamers and power users.
The G915 X features redesigned galvanic switches with a cross-style stem made of POM plastic. Logitech claims this enhances key stability and reduces noise compared to previous hook-style stems. The actuation point has also been shortened from 1.5 mm to 1.3 mm, affording faster responsiveness.
For added durability, Logitech upgraded the keycaps from ABS to double-shot, shine-through PBT, which resist oils and wear better over time. The aluminum top plate is now thicker at 1.5 mm, providing a sturdier, more rigid build.
Despite its ultra-thin profile, the G915 X retains top-tier wireless performance with Logitech's Lightspeed, Bluetooth, and USB wired connectivity modes. Battery life has also improved significantly – up to 800 hours with the backlight off for the full-size model, and 36 hours at full RGB brightness in 2.4 GHz wireless mode, a 20 percent increase.
New customization features include Keycontrol, which allows you to assign powerful macro commands to any key. Additionally, the numpad can transform into a comprehensive gaming command hub when used with the G-Shift keys on compatible Logitech mice.
The G915 X series offers both full-size and tenkeyless layouts, with options for linear, tactile, or clicky low-profile switches. Pricing starts at $179.99 for the wired model, and $199.99 for the wireless tenkeyless version, with the full-size wireless model priced at $229.99.
Other products
In addition to the G915 X, Logitech has also launched the Pro X TKL Rapid keyboard, featuring analog switches that allow for adjustable actuation and dual inputs per key.
On the mouse front, the Pro Wireless Lightspeed has been refreshed with improved switches, the latest Hero 2 sensor, and nearly 100 hours of battery life. It's joined by the ergonomic Pro X Superlight 2 Dex. Additionally, Logitech debuted a limited-edition aluminum G502 mouse, with only 502 units available.
There's also a refreshed Astro A50 gaming headset that brings multi-input switching, graphene drivers, 24-hour battery life, and a charging base station.
Last but not least, the Racing Series of sim racing gear has been updated to include a new wheelbase, quick-release hub, wheel hub, several new steering wheels, and a shifter and handbrake.
Surprise mouse DPI upgrade
Another significant development is Logitech upgrading all its existing gaming mice to feature the Hero 2 sensor, aligning with the 44,000 DPI specification of the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex.
With an upcoming software update in October, older Hero 2 mice, such as the Pro X Superlight, will gain access to the 44,000 DPI and 888 IPS specifications via Logitech's G Hub software. A higher DPI means greater sensitivity, and this update will provide owners of these mice with a broader range of sensitivity options than ever before.
