In brief: Logitech unveiled its latest gaming innovations at Logi Play 2024, the brand's annual digital showcase. The peripheral maker introduced a wide range of new products, including keyboards, mice, headsets, and sim racing gear, along with a surprise upgrade to one of its popular mice.
First up is the impressive G915 X wireless gaming keyboard, which Logitech claims is the "most advanced low-profile gaming keyboard ever built." Measuring just 23mm thick, it's one of the slimmest low-profile keyboards available for gamers and power users.
The G915 X features redesigned galvanic switches with a cross-style stem made of POM plastic. Logitech claims this enhances key stability and reduces noise compared to previous hook-style stems. The actuation point has also been shortened from 1.5 mm to 1.3 mm, affording faster responsiveness.
For added durability, Logitech upgraded the keycaps from ABS to double-shot, shine-through PBT, which resist oils and wear better over time. The aluminum top plate is now thicker at 1.5 mm, providing a sturdier, more rigid build.
Despite its ultra-thin profile, the G915 X retains top-tier wireless performance with Logitech's Lightspeed, Bluetooth, and USB wired connectivity modes. Battery life has also improved significantly – up to 800 hours with the backlight off for the full-size model, and 36 hours at full RGB brightness in 2.4 GHz wireless mode, a 20 percent increase.

New customization features include Keycontrol, which allows you to assign powerful macro commands to any key. Additionally, the numpad can transform into a comprehensive gaming command hub when used with the G-Shift keys on compatible Logitech mice.
The G915 X series offers both full-size and tenkeyless layouts, with options for linear, tactile, or clicky low-profile switches. Pricing starts at $179.99 for the wired model, and $199.99 for the wireless tenkeyless version, with the full-size wireless model priced at $229.99.
Other products
In addition to the G915 X, Logitech has also launched the Pro X TKL Rapid keyboard , featuring analog switches that allow for adjustable actuation and dual inputs per key.
On the mouse front, the Pro Wireless Lightspeed has been refreshed with improved switches, the latest Hero 2 sensor, and nearly 100 hours of battery life. It's joined by the ergonomic Pro X Superlight 2 Dex. Additionally, Logitech debuted a limited-edition aluminum G502 mouse , with only 502 units available.
There's also a refreshed Astro A50 gaming headset that brings multi-input switching, graphene drivers, 24-hour battery life, and a charging base station.
Last but not least, the Racing Series of sim racing gear has been updated to include a new wheelbase, quick-release hub, wheel hub, several new steering wheels, and a shifter and handbrake.
Surprise mouse DPI upgrade
Another significant development is Logitech upgrading all its existing gaming mice to feature the Hero 2 sensor, aligning with the 44,000 DPI specification of the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex .
With an upcoming software update in October, older Hero 2 mice, such as the Pro X Superlight , will gain access to the 44,000 DPI and 888 IPS specifications via Logitech's G Hub software. A higher DPI means greater sensitivity, and this update will provide owners of these mice with a broader range of sensitivity options than ever before.
