G19 Keyboard
G9X Mouse
G35 Headset
| Quote: | We already spotted Logitech's new G19 gaming keyboard almost a month ago, but then it was believed to be called the G18. Today Logitech finally announced it together with an updated G9 mouse called the G9x and a new gaming headset called the G35.
The screen is better than expected as it features a 320x240 resolution although it's not clear how big it is. The keyboard is supplied with Logitech's GamePanel software which enables the display to work with over 60 games according to the press release. The screen can also provide non game information such as CPU usage and a clock and it can also be used for displaying pictures or video.
The keyboard has 12 programmable G-keys and a range of multimedia keys. You can also select which keys should be back lit and the back light colour can also be set by the user. Finally the G19 also has two USB 2.0 ports and cable management for those that want to attach their mouse to the keyboard.
Next up we have the G9x mouse which is an updated version of the G9 which has a new laser sensor which operates from a silly 200dpi to an insane 5,000dpi. Apart from the new sensor there doesn't seem to be much that makes it differ from the old G9, as the G9x also comes with a selection of weights, onboard memory for storing profiles and two interchangeable grips.
Finally we have the G35 surround sound headset which connects to a USB port and offers 7.1-channel audio, if we're to believe the press release. To achieve the 7.1-channel audio the G35 headset is using technology from Dolby. Although the headset can't be used with your soundcard, so for those with a high-end sound card, this is not the way to go. The headset also features a built in microphone with noise cancelling technology.

FULL STORY
Not sure I like the design of the new G19, but one cool feature is the bigger screen and it seems that you can change the colors of the keys much in the same way the G9 already does.
The G9X with it's improved "200dpi to an insane 5,000dpi"... not sure there as i just bought a Roccat Kone  .
The G35 looks pretty cool, and i am looking for a new headset...maybe this could be it  .

Cheers Perry Rhodan. Yea these guys work with models much in the same way we do. We model stuff in "hard" material (this is a polyurethane foam, comes in many different grades (hard as wood to really light foam)
We use this stuff mostly for interior parts, alloy rims and headlamps and stuff.

Loving my roccat kone so will stick with it, maybe I'll try the G19 keyboard and see how the keys feel.
Currently I have my G15 setup on my other computer, mostly so I can see who's talking on teamspeak/ventrilo 
I doubt the misses will allow me to spend more money on hardware this month though, as I just bought the Geforce 295 GTX as well, but then again I installed one of my 4870X2's in her computer so who knows

G9X is probably awesome, but I don't like the looks of it.
We have mouse standards here at work: Logitech G5 (for CAD), HP LS1 (desktops), HP v450 (laptops)

yeah the looks really kill the good stuff...maybe logitech should just stick 1 or 2 ppl from their dinovo design team in the gaming section and give us some crossover between the edge and g19 keyboards. if they can pull that off, i'd happily buy it at first sight and couldn't care less if it costs a 100 bucks or more

Headphones look badass
but I break mice and keyboards so often that its not worth it for me to get a really nice set.

actually headphones are crappy as they have built-in soundcard, so no high-tech sound producing there
yes
