Logitech confirms gaming mice, keyboard

LOGITECH TODAY CONFIRMED the release of its G5 gaming mouse, the very same that our Charlie mentioned here. The company also announced its G7 cordless gaming mouse and its G15 keyboard, designed specifically with gamers in mind.

The G7 and G5 mice offer resolution of up to 2000 dpi, which can be adjusted to as low as 400 dpi. They both feature full-speed USB data transfer and can handle 6.4 megapixels of image processing per second. The G5 and G7 mice are Logitech's first mice to offer full-speed USB, each mouse delivering 500 reports per second, which is just a slight increase from the 60-125 reports of most USB mice.

The G15 keyboard, designed to compliment the new mice, features 18 progammable keys as well as a backlit, built-in LCD display. It's apparently dead simple to program, shipping with "advanced software" making setting up custom commands for your videogames a piece of cake.

If you're interested, the G15 keyboard will be available online and at retailers worldwide in October for $79.99. The G7 mouse retails for $99.99 while the G5 costs $69.99. Both will be available in the US and Europe in September. µ
