Logitech Revamps The G5 And Adds A Behind-The-Head Gaming Headset

The Logitech G500.In a press release that is absolutely rife with ridiculous allegories between gaming and physical battle, Logitech announced two new products today. When you’ve got “sweat on your brow, and it’s way too late to turn back,” or “when victory is on the line,” you’ll soon be able to thank your new mouse and headset for pulling you through tough times.

The new mouse is a revamp of the current G5, an industry standard for hardcore gamers. The new mouse, dubbed the G500, has most of the updates you would expect with a new mouse. They’ve reshaped the body for more support, added on-the-fly dpi adjustment, and given the mouse a “battle-worn” makeover so your disheveled appearance will look marginally less like you crawled out of your basement for the first time and more like you crawled out of Castle Wolfenstein’s basement…where there was a computer…with a really neat mouse. The coolest part of the mouse is that it comes with 27 grams of weight that you can add or remove from the body to fine tune the feel of your mouse. That’s actually one of my pet peeves in finding a new mouse – most are just way too light.

The Logitech G330.Logitech claims to be releasing an industry first with the new adjustable, behind-the-head headset, the G330. The band behind your ears can be adjusted for a custom fit and the new phones feature a silicone headband and pivoting ear pads for improved comfort. At the core of the headband is a steel spring design to “withstand the wear and tear of furious battle,” better known as a trip across the room when that 14-year-old wipes your raid again. You’ll also get inline volume control and microphone muting.

The new gear has separate release dates. You can get the headphones later this month for $50 and the G500 in September for $70.
