Leading manufacturers of gaming peripherals, has just introduced a new series of products, specifically designed for high-end gaming PCs. The company announced today the new Logitech G19 gaming keyboard (initially rumored as the G18), the Logitech G35 surround sound headset and the new Logitech G9x laser mouse. The G-series products join one of the company's recently announced G13 advanced gameboard, offering PC and gaming enthusiasts a wide range of new products, which have been crafted to meet their high-performance requirements.

“The G-series product line is all about seeing how far we can push the envelope, giving gamers extraordinary, engineered-to-win features developed as a result of our deep connection with the gaming community,” said Ruben Mookerjee, Logitech’s director of product marketing for gaming. “With each one of these new G-series products, gamers gain exceptional benefits; but most importantly, they can transform their gear to suit their gameplay.”

The Logitech G19 keyboard for gaming looks like some space-age gadget, a controlling device out of Star Wars. It is packed with excellent control features so that you, your team, and your hardware all always victorious at the end of every grueling gameplay session. A 320×240 tiltable color LCD display offers a wealth of information such as stats on game, VoIP communication data, image slideshows, system information, video, images, etc.

Backlit characters on the keyboard will allow you to play easily under dim light or in darkness. You can program the 12 fully programmable G-keys for up to 36 single keypresses and record macros on-the- fly. The keyboard can function in a game or desktop mode.

Two USB 2.0 ports allow for easy transfer of data between the keyboard and other peripherals and can also be used to charge other devices. Cables are routed from the underside of the keyboard so that mouse, mic, headphone cords are conveniently out of the way.

The G19 is expected to hit the stores in March and can be yours for the rather steep price of $199.
