Logitech Malaysia unveils revised G Series lineup, talks about local gaming scene
Logitech Malaysia recently organised a gathering with some of the most influential tech/gaming writers in the local industry to talk about what's in and what's next for the local gaming community. (As a newcomer) we were fortunate enough to be invited over to join in the discussion along with a hands-on experience with the company's latest G Series gaming gears.
With its launch and a re-branding in their lineup, it is apparent that the company is now strongly-committed to invest in and to further develop a quality set of PC gaming gears aimed towards both the casual gamers and the more hardcore ones.
Regional Marketing Director for South East Asia Logitech, Kuah Hsiang Nung, demonstrating the effectiveness of choosing the ideal gaming mouse weight.
"Science Wins" will lead the re-branding of these gears with emphasis on how all the nitty-gritty details can essentially affect both gameplay performance and control. I personally do believe and after testing them out feel that Logitech's 'theory' behind their products do improve the experience overall.
While the gaming roundtable offered us an insight into all their G Series gaming gears, it soon became clear that not only is Logitech interested in product features like macro buttons and erm LCD screens, but also all the tech behind it as Kuah of Logitech SEA repeatedly pointed out that Logitech isn't just about making gaming gears, but more of "precision equipments".
With its official unveiling of the G Series in Malaysia, we were also treated to test their gears out with a generous few matches of FPS and MOBAs. One pretty important feature Kuah pointed out was the lineup's 'angle snapping' ability which basically means the equipment's stability and control while moving the mouse and this can be apparent as you stray across a straight line in a perfect motion.
One of my personal favourites the Logitech G700s rechargeable gaming mouse
This I feel is essential in today's gaming equipments as I believe that at the end of the day, one would only go for a piece of gaming gear if it provides the perfect control and therefore the trust and reliability it extends to gamers. To this, Logitech's high-end G700s (retailing at RM299) in particular has proven so far to have mastered that extend of control.
During the session, Kuah also notably expressed the company's interest in exploring the possibilities they can be part of in both the local and regional gaming community which most definitely includes the up-and-coming eSports scene. At the same time, he has also revealed that Logitech is working with certain game titles to develop certain exclusives, though details of that is understandably can not be revealed as of yet.
It's always good to see gaming (gear) companies like Logitech to show a deep interest in the Malaysian gaming industry especially for our eSports scene I talked about, that there really is a massive gap of potential for both industry professionals and even amateurs like our site to explore, contribute, and develop together.

Logitech revises PC gaming peripherals, introduces the new Logitech G lineup
“With Logitech G, we put our passion for science to work for you,” said Prasenjit Sarkar, Regional Director for Southeast Asia at Logitech. “Just as gamers are compelled to beat levels, our engineers are compelled to test scientific theories...with Logitech G we will continue to push the limits of speed, precision, reliability – even intuitiveness."
The new lineup will feature carefully-redesigned layouts and textures to improve comfort, control and also durability. New sensor technology have also been integrated with its new set of gaming mouse, but the leader of the pack would ultimately go to the Logitech G700s rechargeable gaming mouse.
Retailed at a recommended price of RM299, the Logitech G700s rechargeable gaming mouse boasts its wireless capabilities compared among the rest with a consistent report rate of 2.4GHz, but more importantly this sturdy beast is built for the macro-managers with a whopping lot of 13 programmable controls ready for gamers to unleash.
Leading Logitech's whole-new gaming headsets will be the Logitech G430, powered by Dolby Headphone 7.1 surround sound capabilities to create an immersive 360-degree-like sound field and apparently providing up to seven discrete channels of audio clarity.
But what catches the eye most (for me) is its carefully-crafted design and its obvious addition of colours. The Logitech G430 sports a lightweight design, a lay-flat earpiece and sports-performance cloth-padded earcups. If you reckon it got the looks and turns up the volume in action, it has a recommended retailed price of RM299.
Completing the last spectrum of Logitech's revised PC gaming lineup and leading its keyboard dominance will be the Logitech G19s, retailed at a suggested price of RM699. Equipped with an adjustable GamePanel LCD which feeds you with game-specific apps and stats, it also comes with a full-featured, custom-colour backlighting.
Keys and panels have also been carefully-surfaced to ensure durability and maximum comfort. Macro-managers will also love its 12 programmable G-Keys potentially providing up to 36 different functions across three different macro modes.
Each of these top-notch peripherals are set to retail by the end of May this year. Meanwhile, do check out the full lineup from Logitech G including the more affordable ones at logitech.com/my.
