Logitech Announces G330 Gaming Headset and G500 Gaming Mouse
When there's sweat on your brow, and it's way too late to turn back, it's time to choose wisely. To help you make the right choice when victory is on the line, Logitech today unveiled extensions to its award-winning G-series line of gaming peripherals: the Logitech Gaming Mouse G500 and the Logitech Gaming Headset G330. The Gaming Mouse G500 refreshes the popular Logitech G5 Laser Mouse with the latest gaming-grade laser engine and a battle-worn appearance, while the Gaming Headset G330 delivers comfort that won't quit - even after long hours of battle.
"As more and more people make gaming with family and friends the new night out, Logitech continues to push the envelope with the Logitech G-series," said Ruben Mookerjee, Logitech's director of product marketing for gaming. "If you're getting serious about gaming - or have already seen the light - then the best way to dive ever deeper into the game is by putting the G500 mouse in your good hand and the G330 headset on your head. Victory is up to you." For gamers, especially the more than 11 million people playing World of Warcraft or the millions on a tour of Call of Duty, the Gaming Mouse G500 and the Gaming Headset G330 help ensure that every late-night gaming session is victorious. ![]() Logitech Gaming Mouse G500 The successor to the classic Logitech G5 Laser Mouse, the Logitech Gaming Mouse G500 delivers game-changing precision at any hand speed. With its gaming-grade laser engine you can rev up your intensity - reaching a maximum hand speed of 165 inches per second (ips) and a maximum acceleration force of 30 gs. An on-the-fly adjustable-dpi gives you the right level of precision - from pixel-precise targeting (200 dpi) to lightning-fast maneuvers (up to 5700 dpi) - for whatever game you're playing. (The dpi can be adjusted, after installing the Logitech Gaming Software, in increments of 100 dpi). Plus, full-speed USB helps ensure that the G500 mouse is smooth and responsive. But the G500 mouse offers much more than precision. A rugged finish offers a battle-worn accent to your gear. And an updated shape - with a broader thumb rest and a smoothed-out pinkie ledge - makes the new Logitech gaming mouse more comfortable when you're in the heat of competition. When you're ready to battle, the onboard memory lets you save and take the settings for your favorite title with you - no software required. If you're sensitive to weight, the G500 mouse offers weight tuning, including up to 27 grams of extra weight for personalized feel and control. The additional weights fit into a removable chassis and, when not in use, can be stored in the accompanying case. A dual-mode scroll wheel - with hyper-fast scrolling for those times that you have to work - provides click-to-click scrolling that's perfect for weapon selection. And ten programmable buttons put valuable macros in your hand (software required). Logitech Gaming Headset G330 Even when gaming casualties are heavy, your Logitech Gaming Headset G330 isn't. The lightweight G330 headset combats fatigue with its adjustable, behind-the-head design - the first of its kind for gaming headsets - that slides for a personalized fit. To further relieve common pressure points on your head, the G330 headset features a soft silicone-lined headband and pivoting ear pads. And with durable steel spring at its core, the flexible headband is designed to withstand the wear and tear of furious battle. A noise-canceling microphone reduces annoying background noise and rotates out of the way when you're not using it. The in-line audio controls let you adjust the volume or mute the microphone without pausing the action. An included USB adapter lets you choose to connect digitally to any USB port for enhanced audio or directly to your PC sound card via 3.5 mm jacks. Pricing and Availability The Logitech Gaming Mouse G500 is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in September for a suggested retail price of $69.99 (U.S.). The Logitech Gaming Headset G330 is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in August for a suggested retail price of $49.99 (U.S.). |

its taken them long enough to launch a replacement of the g5 tbh - now make that replacement wireless like the G7 and i'll drop my G9 faster than you can say logitech.
**edit** looks like me and newtekie think alike

I dont think Logitech are gonna be in a hurry to make a wireless gaming mouse for a while otherwise they wouldnt have discontinued the G7. why discontinue a product if its still bringing in the cash? I had a G7 myself, totally loved it till I got sick of the battery pack quitting every 6 hours.

Batteries were crap after a few years, had to charge them each day but it was awesome with hotswap. Though AA batteries in my LX7 mouse lasted months. Keyboard is still going too. |

at the start the battery use to last at least a few days but, ive had the mouse at least 3 years dont forget - its bound to get raped. but it got to the point where I had the charge always on turbo mode otherwise it wouldnt be fully charged by the time the other pack died.

The battery packs do start to die, just like all rechargable batteries, which is why I just bought 2 more to replace my old ones. Two of them only cost me $16 Shipped off logitech's site: http://www.buylogitech.com/store/log...=1249574442247

Yeah, I just switched over to to the UK version of logitech's site when I saw you were in the UK, and saw they have removed it from their site...that sucks...
You can't even get parts for it, like the replacement battery packs...that really really sucks...

Its a shame the Razor Mamba is around £130 here in the UK otherwise that woulda been a nice replacement for a aged G7 since thats wireless also.

Ive read specs & reviews on the mamba, honestly the most id say its worth is maybe £80 but then what they call 'gaming grade' might be the same laser engine that went into the G7 & the problem with these is you cant really tell. the G7 was around £60-70, the mamba has a few new features. very nice but really not worth paying £130 for

Mamba costs £110 in my local PC shop O.o
£100 on Amazon. Who came up with the £130? ![]() I'm suprised how cheap the G500 is, it's about 10$ more than G5, that's really a big step for Logitech - making something affordable. |
