Amazon has a pretty aggressive deal on a refurbished Logitech Harmony 890 universal remote control. It’s priced at $99.99, today only, down from just under $250 normally.
Thinking of buying a Logitech keyboard or mouse? Now would be a good time. You can get the opulent G19 keyboard for $150 (technically, big savings), a G9x for $75, a G500 for $45, or a Performance MX for $75. And everything’s got free shipping!
Guys! Guys! There’s a killer deal on the Logitech Harmony 1100 remote! It’s the great big one with the touchscreen, and it came out at the beginning of this year so you know it’s still cool, and looks impressive with your A/V setup. Plus, it’s only $300, which is a whole lot cheaper then the $500 it normally goes for. Plus, when we reviewed in back in March, Matt really liked it.
Everyone knows that we here at CrunchGear love Logitech’s Harmory remotes. Normally though, they are really expensive and perhaps out of the reach of the casual buyer. Good news though, Tiger Direct has one hell of a deal on the 670, a IR remote designed to work with pretty much everything out there.
Logitech has the right idea here. Instead of making notebook owners piecemeal their notebook accessories together, Logitech now has the MK605 Notebook Kit. The kit isn’t anything fancy, but you can guarantee that retail flacks will be pushing this $99 bundle onto holiday shoppers.
The Harmony 700 just works. It doesn’t look as fancy as the 900, but I don’t care. What I care about in a remote is the most functionality for the lowest price. And let me tell you that this remote scores high in that area. I don’t care if I spoil the review, I just have to say that I love this remote. Read More
Ahhh, just what the doctor ordered: Logitech just released a wireless guitar controller that looks like a kinda-sorta Superstrat played by Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden along with a collapsable drum kit for the Wii and the XBox360.
I didn’t have high hopes for the Harmony 700 this morning. It looked like a cheap remote. The press shot made it look very utilitarian. But then I got my hands on one and boy was I surprised. This remote is nice. Yeah, it’s not as shiny as the Harmony One or 900, but it’s solid, very comfortable to hold, and recharges via microUSB. Me likey. Expect a full review in a few days but until then, check out the pics after the jump. Read More
Logitech announced two new audio devices today, the Squeezebox Radio and Squeezebox Touch. The Squeezebox Radio is intended to be a portable device, with a built in speaker and wifi capability (allowing access to your music library). The Squeezebox Touch is intended to tie into your home theater system, providing the same type of access (via your home network) to you music library.
Now that the Harmony 900 has effectively taken the top tier away from the older Harmony One, Logitech needed a suitable remote for the bottom tier. That’s where the $150 Harmony 700 comes in. From the presser, it seems that this new remote might simply be a slightly stripped down Harmony One. The look isn’t that clean, the LCD screen is smaller, and the charging system a little janky with AAs, but it’s still got what makes a Harmony special: dead simple macro setup thanks to great PC software.
I wanted to love this remote. The Harmony One has a great form factor, and I was hoping that Logitech would add its current RF system to the mix. But that didn’t happen with the $400 Harmony 900. Instead, Logitech attempted to simplify the RF setup even though the current method is easy enough and managed to muck things up. The remote’s nice, but crippled by a lackluster RF system and therefore nowhere near the best remote I have ever used.

Logitech’s newly announced mice, the Performance MX and Anywhere MX, make use of a brand new tracking technology that allows them to be used even on clear glass. Now, I had this same thought when Microsoft unveiled its Bluetrack mice: who uses their mouse on glass, or marble? I think the cases where this technology can come into play are extremely rare.
I’m sure the “Darkfield” technology results in more accurate tracking on other surfaces as well, however, so it’s not like it’s a one-trick pony. Pics, video, and pricing inside.
Some people really get into racing sims and Logitech wants to tap that market with the G27 racing wheel. This puppy will get users as close to racing around the ‘ring as possible. Just remember to bring your own HDTV and surround sound system to complete the experience.

If the Logitech blog post about the new Logitech Wireless Desktop MK 700 is to be believed, the company has come up with a new type of key design. The Logitech Incurve keys apparently “cradle your fingers for greater comfort.” I’m all for keyboard innovation, but I think my standard white, full-size Apple keyboard also has concave keys.
There might be a few hundred thousand iPod speaker docks available for purchase, but Logitech just added two more to the fray. Neither are really anything special, but they both seem to be priced right. The $129 S325i can be used on the included rechargeable battery for up to 20 hours. Plus, the large speaker dock will work with the iPhone. The smallish S125i is, well, small which is its claim to fame and the reason it’s only $69. This one is not iPhone compatible btw but can run off of 4 AA batteries. If either of these docks do it for ya, you can pre-order them now and expect delivery later this month.

Logitech wants in on the new gaming gear party started by Razer and SteelSeries a few weeks back. This time around, Logitech has updated the G5 gaming mouse with the G500 and is introducing the G330 gaming headset.

There isn’t anything that impresses more than a touchscreen remote. Sure, the form factor is a little awkward at first, but damn are they sexy. When the Harmony 1000 remote debuted a few years ago, it carried an MSRP of $500. Now you can get the newer 1100 model for close to that or this one for only $147. I’d take this one.
Now this just makes sense. Instead of having a receiver for every USB wireless device, Logitech managed to stuff the right goods into its Unifying receiver. This little guy can pair with up to six Unifying-compatible Logitech mice and keyboards at the same time, just like Bluetooth peripherals have been able to for ages. The first device should be picked up by Windows and each device after that just needs to be added through the Unifying software pack.
