Logitech’s Premiere Edition Wireless Guitar Is Nicer Than The Real Thing

Yes! Even more Guitar Hero guitars that, much like the players, try desperately hard to be the real thing. This time around, Logitech is releasing the gorgeous Wireless Guitar Controller Premiere Edition for $250. Screw spending the $250 on a real guitar. Real guitars are for old people.

As far as fake guitars go, this thing leaves all the other guitar controllers in the dust. The body of the controller is solid, the neck is made of real wood, the frets and tuning peg handles are metal and the fingerboard is rosewood. It’s also on par with the Rock Band guitar controller in terms of a quiet strum bar. You’ll find this guitar more intricate than that Gibson Les Paul you never learned how to play. It’s compatible with the Playstation 2 and Playstation 3 versions of Guitar Hero titles.

Logitech Io2 digital pen, yet another no one will buy

logitech io2

How many times have you wished that those notes you took could be transfered into your computer for editing? Not too many… Well, that might explain why not too many people have caught onto the digital pen idea. Not only is it awkward to hold something of this size and write with it, it is just dumb to spend $150 for something that you routinely lose anyways. So while you could store up to 40 pages of notes (if you can write that much in 8 hours), you probably won’t. Sure, Logitech made their new io2 digital pen set look mighty pretty, it just isn’t worth the $150 they want.  –Nik Gomez

Logitech X-240 speakers have built-in (hickory dickory) dock

logitech x-240 speakers with dock

Computer stereo systems are an annoyance. They are never as good as you want them to be, they lack the ease of usability that we all strive to find, and most of the models on the open market are rehashed versions of stock speakers with a different skin. The Logitech X-240 might not be audiophile quality (in fact it’s similar to most other one step up from stock models), but the edition of a device dock is a cool incentive to choose the X-240 over other models. The dock can accomadate both the Apple iPod and the Microsoft Zune along with PDA’s and other mobile devices. To make sure that the dock fits properly, the X-240 comes with different sized trays to house your device of choice. The product description also flaunts its “convenient volume and power controls”, which most likely means it comes with an external knob, which really does shave off a few seconds of the volume altering process. The X-240 will be available in the US in April for $49.99, and in Europe in May. — Andrew Dobrow

Money ain’t a thing: Logitech’s 200$ Keyboard

Filed under: Peripherals

Sure its not the 1200 dollar Optimus keyboard, but seriously who cares. If peripherals are your thing then you probably already have a nice laser Logitech mouse, like say the MX Revolution (100$). And the perfect companion for your overpriced mouse is a 200$ 199$ keyboard. The “ultra-slim Logitech diNovo Edge” apparently makes trackpads obsolete, and it should for that price tag. Of course it uses Bluetooth technology, but the coolest thing is that the dock doubles as a keyboard stand, “very nice.”

The diNovo edge offers “the PerfectStroke key system”, a Laser-cut look from a 11 mm piece of Plexiglass, their patented TouchDisc scrolling, and of course Backlit stealth controls. If keyboards are your thing the diNovo Edge might be worth checking out, if not “well our bad.” — Zach Wilt
