Gallery: Get an eyeball on the new G-series range of gaming peripherals from Atomic faves, Logitech.

Logitech came out of the recent Atomican's Choice Awards - published in issue 113 - pretty damn well. It topped out both the Mouse and Keyboards categories as clear winners ahead of Microsoft and Razer, the nearest competitors. So if you're one of many Atomicans who think Logitech's got the peripheral edge, you're going to love the new G-series.

Let's start with the headset - the G930 is 7.1, Dolby powered monstrosity and it's wireless to boot. But monstrous in a good way, we're sure! The new G700 Wireless mouse features 13 MMO-optimised buttons, and FPS precision, and boasts macro capability and 100 reports per second.

Finally, the G510 keyboard has customisable lighting, 18 programmable keys, and audio jacks for convenient gaming. The RRPs are $279.95, $159.95 and $199.95 respectively. Pricey as only Logitech can be, but apparently worth it if the Atomican's Choice Awards are anything to go by.

We have of course demanded the entire range for a full review, but in the meantime, check out our gallery of shots, and get more info here.

@tunksy I know what you mean about the orange lighting on the G15! Considering the rest of the stuff on my desk is blue LED, it really sticks out, and not in a good way! :(
That said, I will be sticking with it until it actually fails me - I still love typing on the old G15 after all, and thats what counts, right?

@pumpjockey: Well I can't see it being actually GOOD for your brain, but I doubt it's bad for it either, especially considering the amount of wireless activity already going on in most homes.
