Logitech S510 Wireless KB & Mouse
Logitec X-230 2.1 Speaker System
Had some logitech 2 channel Gaming Headsets that I lent out to friends for use.

Great brand, I have enjoyed many of their products over the years.

EDIT: accidentally listed X-530 instead of my actual X-230 speakers.

 

[jds21]

Logitec X-530 2.1 Speaker System

Do you mean X-230 2.1 or X530 5.1?

 

[Ripper3]

Have owned (and mostly still have):
3DXConnexion Space Navigator (awesome gadget, ncie and cheap 3D mouse, and the company is owned by Logitech, think it counts)
Logitech Media Elite Keyboard
Logitech G5 (standard v1)
Logitech bluetooth mouse (well, basically a rebrnaded Logitech bluetooth mouse)
Logitech iMac ball mouse (that crappy little standard mouse from the original iMac is by Logitech AFAIK)
Logitech iMac USB KB (same as mouse, AFAIK it's a Logitech)
Logitech MX510 Blue (finest mouse I've ever had, the G5 isn't quite as good IMHO)
Logitech Premium Headset (would still be using it if the cable hadn't worn thorugh because of the table rubbing it against the wall)
Some pretty good speakers - just 2.0, think it's made by a subsidiary of Logitech. Can't find them though

That is all

 

[OrbitzXT]

I have, and love, the Logitech Z-5500 speakers. Also a MX510 mouse, which gets a lot of love too.

 

[jds21]

The Z-5500s have been on my wishlist for some time now but I decided to get the G51 system and I must say... it delivers outstanding sound

Glad to see so many lovers of Logitech

I will be posting reviews of my Logitech products soon so stay tuned...

Logitech G15 Gaming keyboard Review

Logitech G15 Gaming keyboard Review

Manufacturer's Link: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/pc_gaming/mice_keyboards/devices/3498&cl=au,en

The Logitech G15 (2007 edition) is Logitech's newest high-end keyboard targeted at hardcore gamers and computing enthusiats. Some of its major features include:

- Amber illuminated keys with 3 levels of brightness
- High-visibility GamePanel™
- Six programmable G-keys with 3 modes (up to 18 functions)
- 2x USB 1.1 ports on the back of the kayboard
- Multimedia Controls
- Cable managementc channels - located under the keyboard

The G15 keyboard is not designed for the everyday user... no way; it is designed to tingle the senses of the computing enthusiast and hardcore gamer. The LCD screen allows important system information and other information to be displayed (including: CPU and RAM usage meter, clock and date, countdown timer and stopwatch, media information and gaming information)

As much as this keyboard is designed for gamers, its uses expand much wider than that. When using iTunes or Windows media player to watch movies or listen to music, the media information is displayed on the LCD screen and is able to be controlled with the media keys so just minimise your media player to the system tray and forget about it with having full control with the G15 keyboatd. The CPu and RAM usage meter is a very useful tool for the enthusiasts to monitor the each core of your CPU and amount of RAM being used at any given time.

The G15 has 6 fully programmable G-keys which can be programmed on the fly or using Logitech software (bundled with the keyboard). The keys can be programmed to perform complex macros or open up applications saving you much time and giving you that step-up advantage when gaming because logitech know, winning is everything. The six keys also come with a 3-mode system allowing each G-key to perform up to 3 functions. The G-keys will automatically adjust when in gaming mode (for compatable games only). This 3-mode system can be very useful not only in gaming mode but also in windows mode. I use mode 1 for key functions, mode 2 for application shortcuts and mode 3 for photoshop keystrokes to make my designing a breeze.

This keyboardis not designed for writing essays and word processing but it has to be the most comfortable typing experience I have experienced to date. The soft amber glow makes typing and gaming at night even easier with 3 levels of brightness (High, Low and Off) to suit any time of the day and night. The colours of the LCD screen can also be inverted to make it brighter and more vivid or softer and subtle.

The 2 USB 1.1 ports have received a lot of criticism due to not having as high performance as USB 2.0. However, this feature is very useful for plugging in external devices such as mobile phones and ipods to be charged to free up USB points on your motherboard or USB hub. This feature is also useful for plugging inaccessories and gadgets which would otherwise use precious USB points on your computer. As much as this feature is looked down upon by many, it can be a useful tool for many alongside the cable management channels on the bottom of the keyboard allowing user to route cables without the mess.

All-in-all, the G15 is the ultimate keyboard for almost any user. Of course, it is higher priced than most standard keyboard but with its wide range of features, this keyboard has something for everyone and users will not be disappointed.

G51 5.1 SURROUND SOUND SPEAKER SYSTEM REVIEW..... on the way... stay tuned!

 

[watts289]

ive got a logitech x230 2.1 speakers and theryre great i love them

 

[Triprift]

Also got z340 speakers @ sub i havnt used em in a while but if i need extra oompff illl crank em.

 

[Hawk1]

I have a G7 mouse, G15 (2nd) keyboard and x230 speakers.

I am Logitech for life as far as Mice go, after the USB receiver on the G7 died. Called up their support line for an RMA on a Tuesday, they just said to scratch out serial numbers on my old mouse and receiver and keep the batteries/charger as spares, and they shipped a new one out to me and it was in my hands on that Friday. You cannot ask for better service than that! Logitech FTW.

 

[3991vhtes]

I have a generic Logitech mouse, that I got at Wal-Mart for $15-ish, can I join

I have a generic Logitech mouse, that I got at Wal-Mart for $15-ish, can I join

lol... as I said in my original post... we welcome anything logitech.... even if it did cost $15...

 

[Shizelbs]

My Logitech Products:

Harmony 1000 Universal Remote
X 530 5.1 computer speakers
Some nice optical mouse
Some low end keyboard
NuLooq

And I really want to get the Dinovo setup someday.

 

[jds21]

Well my mate has the DiNovo Bluetooth cordless desktop and I must say... its awesome... the only bad thing i can say about it is that it doesn't have illuminated keys and the screen on the media pad doesn't light up... its like a calculator screen.... but other than that it is mad!

 

[Ripper3]

I used to want the original DiNovo so bad... but £150 for a wireless desktop combo and bluetooth receiver seemed a bit steep. Still, if I had been given the chance to buy one, I'd have done it in a heartbeat.

I adore my Z5500 speakers. I think they're the best 'investment' computer-wise, because unlike a video card or other component, I'd be happy for quite long with their performance and definitely not be needing an upgrade.

The sheer size of the subwoofer and the great sound it makes. The bass is really profound, you feel it inside your chest bones! Couple it with a good x-fi sound card... Perfect for watching a dvd, and definitely immerses you during gaming.

Darn I sound like a commercial but I have nothing except positive comments about these speakers.

Here's a screenshot of my setup. You can see the sub-woofer at the left, the two front speakers on each side of my monitor, the center speaker at the top of the monitor, while the right and left rear speakers are not visible because they're at the respective right and left side at the back of the room. Photo's somewhat old now... moved to a different room.

 

[jds21]

There is no shame in sounding like a commercial... I wrote that review and I have more on the way and that sure sounded like a commercial....

 

[Triprift]

Nice speakers Black Panther and nice setup alround.

 

[jds21]

i agree although it reminds me why i didnt get them... i had nowhere that could fit the huge subwoofer lol..... that and i only have a small room.... anything more than the G51 would have been overkill for me
