thanks to Razer for sending us to Pax West 2016 check out the link in the
0:03
description down below for something pretty cool here at the Logitech booth there
0:08
showcasing a whole new lineup of peripherals The Prodigy lineup the idea
0:12
behind this is that it's hardcore highlevel internals with a more
0:15
approachable set of externals so less crazy flashy things and like buttons on
0:20
your headset and whatnot but we'll get more into that later they also have some
0:24
other cool features included as well like with the keyboard where it's water
0:28
resistant which is probably a good thing I hope I didn't just kill it there's
0:32
literally water leaking out of the keyboard but the rgbs are still on so I
0:36
think everything's okay now this is a rubber Dome keyboard with membrane
0:40
plungers and before you all go but Luke you said that there was highlevel
0:44
Hardcore internals it actually feels
0:47
really good I haven't felt a membrane keyboard that felt like this probably
0:51
since the original g15 although I haven't touched it like in the same day
0:55
so I don't know if it's exactly the same but it does feel extremely good for
0:59
membrane key keboard and I am 100% certain that it would trick a lot of you
1:03
if you tried it without knowing that now in terms of the lighting it is rubber
1:07
Dome so it's not perkey lighting but there are a number of zones that you can
1:10
control and they had some challenges here getting the lighting to pierce
1:14
through all of that gel the membrane the rubber Dome all that kind of stuff was
1:18
rather difficult but they've done a great job and it looks very good it has
1:22
a game mode button that disables your Windows Keys it has your lighting
1:26
brightness button which doesn't work right now because I'm in like a a demo
1:30
mode where it's just plugged into a USB battery Bank don't worry about it there's also media keys for your volume
1:35
muting things forward back pause play
1:38
stop all that kind of stuff but nothing else no like extra G Keys none of that
1:42
kind of stuff the wrist rest is built in and is fixed onto the keyboard look even
1:46
more liquids pouring out of it right now there it goes man I poured a lot of
1:51
water into there and it also has feet on
1:55
the back which can make it stand up more and if you poured a whole bunch of water
1:58
into it it can make it drip even more water out which is
2:02
great still works now to be clear it is
2:06
water resistant and they're not overselling this there's no IP rating
2:09
they don't want you to submerge this they don't want you to spray water at it
2:12
with a water gun no it's just going to be very resistant to Accidental spills
2:17
or some idiot at a consumer electronic show kind of thing pouring water on it
2:20
like me next up we have the g43 which is a wired or wired SL Wireless combo Mouse
2:26
the wired one which I have right here is a $69 Mouse Mouse the wired SL wireless
2:31
mouse is a $99 Mouse now it has the same technology in it as the g900 that we
2:36
checked out in Switzerland earlier this year I suggest checking that video out
2:40
as it beat out all of the wired mice that we tested against in both movement
2:44
latency and click latency which is damn impressive now the wired variant weighs
2:49
90 G plus the option of a 10 G weight
2:53
and the wireless option weighs 107 G
2:56
Plus again the option of a 10 G weight it has 16.8 million color RGB lighting
3:02
and only six buttons no crazy extra ones
3:05
there's forward and back left and right click DPI select and pressing your mouse
3:10
wheel down but the most important part the sensor it has a PMW 3366 that's a
3:16
sensor that we saw in the g502 the g900
3:20
a sensor that has been loved by a huge amount of people no compromising on the
3:25
insides like I mentioned earlier it has extremely high level Wireless technology
3:29
and an extreme highle sensor next up we have The g231 Prodigy headset this has
3:34
40 mm neodymium drivers a flexible boom
3:38
mic for talking to your friends also cost $69 features volume control and a
3:43
mic mute on a little box part way down the cable including a clip on the back
3:47
just in case you want to attach it to your jeans or something and then it has a breakout cable which can go to Just
3:52
audio and microphone or a four pole plug
3:55
if you want to plug it into something like your phone or maybe even your
3:58
laptop the Prodigy Mouse isn't as nice as the g900 The Prodigy keyboard isn't
4:03
as nice as the g910 The Prodigy headset isn't as nice as the g933 but they're
4:08
not trying to be they're trying to be exactly what you need and cheaper which
4:13
is good they all start at $69 with the mouse jumping up to $99 if you want the
4:17
wireless function and that's an interesting idea shooting for nice
4:22
internals but not the extra stuff on top what do you guys think let me know in
4:26
