Logitech unveils G27 racing wheel |
When Logitech unveiled its G25 racing wheel, I was one of the first in line to get the thing. I love my G25 and I still use it frequently on my PS3 for playing racing and driving games. Today Logitech has announced a new high-end racing wheel to replace the G25.
The new Logitech G27 looks a lot like the G25 and offers dual force feedback motors and a mechanism with helical gearing. The wheel also features an RPM/shift indicator LEDs and has 16 programmable buttons and a D-pad.




When I hear the name Logitech, I immediately think of mice and keyboards. That’s not all the company is about though. Logitech also makes all sorts of other gear from remote controls to speakers for computers and headphones.
Some of the best keyboards and computer mice I have used have been from Logitech. In fact, I am typing on a Logitech keyboard right now and I use a Logitech G15 for my gaming machine. The company makes gobs of peripherals that are among the best you can get.
I have shed all my remote controls for my various components inside my entertainment center and have been using the Logitech Harmony One since it debuted. I will never go back to using the five or six separate remotes that the One replace on my coffee table.
Logitech has updated its G5 gaming mouse with the release of the new Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse. The G500 features an adjustable dpi from 200dpi all the way up to 5,700dpi, ten programmable buttons, a dual mode scroll wheel with hyper-fast scrolling, and click-to-click scrolling for weapon selection.
Not that it’s a competition or anything, but Logitec of Japan is now claiming the thinnest wireless router in the world. The LAN-W300N/R measures a sickly and anorexic 7mm at its thinnest part, while the widest part is a mere 24mm thick.
One of my all-time favorite mobile mice for notebooks is the Logitech VX Nano. The reason I liked the mouse so much was that it had a tiny Nano receiver that was so small you didn’t even need to unplug it to pack up your notebook.
When I was in college, I had the (dis)pleasure of sitting through more lectures than I ever care to endure again. One thing that I always hated was that the professors used a wireless presenter and would inevitably end up standing beside my desk so I had to pay attention.
Logitech wants you to have your choice of webcams. So they are rolling out not one, not two, not even three, but seven new Logitech webcams. How will you ever decide? Today they are introducing the Webcam Pro 9000, Portable Webcam C905, Webcam C600, Webcam C500, Webcam C300, Webcam C250 and Webcam C200.
I am a fan of music games and have spent lots of time with Rock Band. It continues to bum me out that Logitech doesn’t offer any controllers for Rock Band even though it does make some of the coolest controllers for Guitar Hero.
One of the key components that you need if you are going to take advantage of all your PC has to offer is a good set of speakers. Without a decent set off speakers you can’t listen to your music or movies without having to wear headphones or strain to hear.
I usually only have to travel once or so each year for work. Typically, it’s for CES in January and while it’s nice to be away from things for a while, my kids get restless. I usually end up doing some video calls with them from my computer so I can see what they are up to. The problem is that video calls over IM applications can be hard to set up.
Musicians often use in-ear monitors so they can hear what they are saying or playing over the crowd and music in the venue. The monitors also help prevent the musicians from losing their hearing over time. Emerging artists may not be able to afford the same high-end ear monitors as the big stars, but they can get custom monitors on the cheap.
