While there’s plenty to unpack, the new Yeti 2 microphone stands out as it debuts a voice proximity sensor that, according to Logitech, tracks the speaker’s position in three dimensions and adjusts gain, EQ and pickup pattern in real time. The idea is to keep your levels consistent without you having to think about mic technique, which will appeal to anyone who has watched a stream back and heard themselves drift in and out of range mid-sentence.
Logitech describes the Yeti 2 as a complete reinvention of the original Yeti, a microphone that has been a fixture on streaming desks for well over a decade. Alongside the proximity sensor, the Yeti 2 adds an AI-powered de-noiser for isolating voices from background noise, a colour LED screen with a Yeti character guide, and direct integration with G HUB. That G HUB support brings deeper settings control, community-made Blue VO!CE profiles and custom avatar uploads.
The PRO Series gets the biggest refresh of the day, led by the PRO X3 SUPERSTRIKE gaming mouse at £169.99. Logitech developed the PRO X3 SUPERSTRIKE alongside professional esports players, who asked for better balance and longer battery life. It continues to use Logitech’s proprietary HITS technology, but the result is a lighter mouse than its predecessor, with improved balance and a claimed 50% increase in power efficiency, all achieved in a nine-month development cycle.
Joining it is the PRO X2 RAPID keyboard at £209.99. The PRO X2 RAPID uses custom POM Hall Effect analogue switches with sound dampening layers, and supports Rapid Trigger, Key Priority, 8K scanning and polling, and adjustable actuation points. Sensitivity can be tuned in G HUB or via an onboard OLED interface, which should make it easier to recalibrate between games without tabbing out to software.
The PRO X3 LIGHTSPEED wireless headset lands at £229.99 and pairs PRO-G 50mm graphene drivers with a 48kHz full-bandwidth microphone. Logitech claims a 40% increase in battery life and multi-device connectivity, too. Rounding out the PRO line-up is the PRO X Control, Logitech’s first PRO mousepad, at £59.99. It measures 400 x 460mm and uses a knitted cloth surface designed for consistent glide in every direction, with 6mm Slimflex foam, stitched edges set below the surface, and a high-friction base.
Sim racers get plenty to look at as well with Logitech continuing to broaden its presence in the space. The most eye-catching addition is the RS50 McLaren Racing Edition, which wraps the 8Nm RS50 direct drive wheelbase in McLaren Racing’s signature papaya colour, and is designed to pair with the Playseat Instinct McLaren Racing Edition cockpit. More significant for PC racers is Logitech’s move towards modular hardware, with PC-exclusive standalone versions of the G923 wheel and the RS50 system, plus the new RS Pedals SE. The RS Pedals SE use Hall Effect sensors on both the brake and throttle which measures pedal travel rather than the force you apply, so it’s a different proposition to a load cell brake.
Owners of existing hardware also get something. Logitech has announced a firmware update for the HERO sensor in the G502 X PLUS and G502 X LIGHTSPEED, raising maximum resolution to 44,000 DPI and adding independent X and Y sensitivity adjustment. Few players will run anything near 44,000 DPI, but separate X and Y sensitivity is the more practical addition, and the update is free through G HUB. The G502 X PLUS also gets two new colourways in the process.
Further down the range, Logitech has expanded its budget-conscious G3 family with the G316 X 75, a compact mechanical keyboard for anyone short on desk space. It’s joined by G-KEYCAPS, a set of dual-shot PBT keycaps with interchangeable translucent dials in four themes: Forest, City, Battlefield and Castle. The G305 X SUPERLIGHT mouse and the G316 X 75 and 98 keyboards are also now available in a new Lilac colourway. Console players aren’t left out either, with the ASTRO A50 X Mars Red Edition adding a new finish to Logitech’s flagship console headset.
On the software side, Streamlabs has rebuilt its mobile app around a feature called Network Boost. Part of the paid Streamlabs Ultra tier, Network Boost combines cellular and Wi-Fi data to reduce dropped frames, and the app now supports SRT for lower latency streaming. Logitech also announced G HUB Replay, free software that automatically records gameplay, picks out standout moments and cuts them into highlight reels with no editing required.
