Logitech Gaming Mouse G500 Refreshes Popular Logitech G5 Laser Mouse with Latest Gaming-Grade Laser Engine, Logitech Gaming Headset G330 Delivers Comfort That Won\u2019t Quit <\/p>\n
SYDNEY, Australia – September 22, 2009 – When there\u2019s sweat on your brow, and it\u2019s way too late to turn back, it\u2019s time to choose wisely. To help you make the right choice when victory is on the line, Logitech Australia today unveiled extensions to its award-winning G-series line of gaming peripherals: the Logitech\u00ae Gaming Mouse G500 and the Logitech\u00ae Gaming Headset G330. The Gaming Mouse G500 refreshes the popular Logitech\u00ae G5 Laser Mouse with the latest gaming-grade laser engine and a battle-worn appearance, while the Gaming Headset G330 delivers comfort that won\u2019t quit \u2013 even after long hours of battle.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs more and more people make gaming in the living room with family and friends the new night out, Logitech continues to push the envelope with the Logitech G-series.\u201d said Ruben Mookerjee, Logitech\u2019s director of product marketing for gaming. \u201cIf you\u2019re getting serious about gaming \u2013 or have already seen the light \u2013 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.\u201d <\/p>\n
For gamers, especially the more than 11 million people playing World of Warcraft\u00ae or the millions on a tour of Call of Duty\u00ae, the Gaming Mouse G500 and the Gaming Headset G330 help ensure that every late-night gaming session is victorious.<\/p>\n
Logitech Gaming Mouse G500<\/p>\n
The successor to the classic Logitech\u00ae 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 \u2013 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 \u2013 from pixel-precise targeting (200 dpi) to lightning-fast maneuvers (up to 5700 dpi) \u2013 for whatever game you\u2019re playing. (The dpi can be adjusted, after installing the Logitech\u00ae Gaming Software, in increments of 100 dpi). Plus, full-speed USB helps ensure that the G500 mouse is smooth and responsive.<\/p>\n
But the G500 mouse offers much more than precision. A rugged finish offers a battle-worn accent to your gear. And an updated shape \u2013 with a broader thumb rest and a smoothed-out pinkie ledge \u2013 makes the new Logitech gaming mouse more comfortable when you\u2019re in the heat of competition. <\/p>\n
When you\u2019re ready to battle, the onboard memory lets you save and take the settings for your favorite title with you \u2013 no software required. If you\u2019re sensitive to weight, the G500 mouse offers weight tuning, including up to 27 grams of extra weight for personalised 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 \u2013 with hyper-fast scrolling for those times that you have to work \u2013 provides click-to-click scrolling that\u2019s perfect for weapon selection. And ten programmable buttons put valuable macros in your hand.<\/p>\n
Logitech Gaming Headset G330<\/p>\n
Even when gaming casualties are heavy, your Logitech Gaming Headset G330 isn\u2019t. The lightweight G330 headset combats fatigue with its adjustable, behind-the-head design \u2013 the first of its kind for gaming headsets \u2013 that slides for a personalised 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.<\/p>\n
A noise-canceling microphone reduces annoying background noise and rotates out of the way when you\u2019re 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..<\/p>\n
