Logitech makes a lot of computer peripherals. From keyboards for your mom, to keyboards for your gamer bros, if there is a category of product that lives on your desk, Logitech probably has their hat in the ring. And after creating some iconic pieces of kit, like the Logitech G Pro Superlight, or the MX Master line-up of products, it's no wonder they're a top brand in a space crowded with competitors like Corsair, Razer, Cooler Master, and many more. But is it all good? We build a full gaming setup using only Logitech products to find out.

god I hate Ridge wallet such a lame pointless boring product I could really do without these ads....
What's rocket money?
Dude im making a PC build for 500$ build and I could send you the list (BTW im still saving up lol)
Can you give away to me
I haven't even made it yet XD saving up will take quite some time@@jaykumar8062
shaved linus is coming. prepare yourselves.
I hate it. It's like Riker from early Star Trek TNG, just not as cool without the beard.
Next one
I just got used to beard Linus...
linus without the beard looks better, i liked how he looked, i miss the old linus@@hereticnasom
@@AaronShenghao right? You barely stop hating beard Linus and they give you shaved Linus. What a emotional rollercoaster
I love how every single product in this video, I felt like "huh that's a cool product", immediately followed by "huh that's too expensive"
That being said. The Embody is freaking amazing.
The looks on their face at the chair absolutely killed me
@@kena4977 The Embody can be less expensive if you get on Herman Miller's email list and wait for a 20% off sale. It comes with a 12 year warrantee.
I have Logitech Keyboard, Mouse, Webcam, Headset, and Light. They definitely are a bit expensive for what they are, but the ease of use and GHUB software make it worth to me. I really hated having ICUE or, God forbid, Razer Synapse
some of these could be bifl
Linus really got his money's worth with the little foam thumb microphone cover. Probably the best investment in this video.
and the most reasonable price too!
lets agree to agree :D
10:00 - The most important part of the Mevo cameras was not mentioned. These cameras support NDI video transport. A laptop with OBS, 3 of these cameras for tri-view capture at full 1080p each, boom, a super low latency wireless 3 camera portable broadcast system. These cameras actually ARE amazing.
For a set worth 1000 dollars they damn well should be amazing.
@@FrankyDigital2000 what's amusing is one can find a pair of Canon Rebel DSLRs for that price with far better quality, however they won't be as easy to pack in the same case as a laptop.
@@dragonflowerlogic8883nor wireless with the low latency feeds the mevo offer, also they just launched the mevo core a micro- fourd Third lense capable camera that does 4k and hdmi out
"Shaved Linus isn't real. Shaved Linus can't hurt you."
Repeats mantra while huddled in the corner rocking back and forth.
It'll be equally weird when Linus starts growing the beard and appears like that in sponsor spots while the actual video still features his shaved self.
I want a bald Linus...
Sim racing nerd here....
The racing wheel and pedals is their higher end product. If you would have gotten the G920 or related line, that's around $200-400. The difference is that the higher end uses a direct drive motor which provides more detail and force feedback, while the lower end has a belt driven motor and lower feedback similar to their older models like the G27 Linus mentioned.
The g29 and 920 is really outdated considering you can now get entry level dd wheel from fanatec and others for around 500 dollars, while the g29 isn't even belt driven, it's geared for 300 dollars
Glad someone mentioned it. Kind of an annoying oversight by them in this video. Two completely different tiers.
@@Simon-tr9hvI tried the thrustmaster t300 and it’s a night and day difference. Logitech really have to come up with improvements for the g29
@@LuizHartkopfcos t300 is belt driven and g29 is using gear, thats like the biggest difference, gear driven is lowest quality, then belt driven (then double belt), and lastly direct drive is best, considering g29 is like 10 11 years old product? they cant really improve it, its just weird they are still selling it at this high price instead of 150 dollars
Wouldn't a belt driven one slip?
2:50 Have you not heard of the Logitech Unifying Receiver? Logitech's best party trick is being able to pair everything to the same dongle.
My wife does that with all her peripherals, biggest W
The Unifying Receiver does not work with gaming peripherals (they need more bandwidth).
I hope logitech have wireless headset with unifying /bolt dongles
Bolt is the successor to unifying
Unifying is dead. Bolt is new. Lots of inconsistencies with implementation across the range. As an avid logitech user - Bolt is just stupid. No reason for it.
The price of Logitech products is high, but I've never found a company with customer support as good as theirs. My cable for the Logitech GPRO X headset broke a few months back, after it was out of warranty, and they sent out a new cable free of charge in less than a week(They also rma'd my G513 keyboard in less than a week when the usb passthrough stopped working, and back when I first got the headset, they rma'd it after the right speaker started disconnecting). The support staff responds fast, and they know what they're doing. I think a lot of what you pay goes into peace of mind. The company actually cares about user experience.
Noctua. No one beats their support.
EVGA also spanked Logitech.
I’ll never own another Logitech product. They’re not even “Prosumer” level.
Ironically, your comment would cause a potential buyer to be scared off considering all the issues you seemed to have with their products.
@@I_enjoy_some_things So the Logitech Superlight that's used heavily by god only knows how many pro gamers isn't "prosumer"?
Using the G300S for 8 years still rocking. Best mouse ever.
@@oktayzerin That little mouse is a beast! It was my first ever 'gaming' mouse. Sold it to my neighbor/best friend and he is still rocking it. Kinda sad it didn't get the wireless/lightspeed treatment all their other popular gaming mice did.
11:18 "R.I.P blue, you dabadi dabadie" I'll be laughing about this all weekend.
And it's only Thursday!
God, I'd totally forgotten about that abomination of a song..now totally getting ptsd flashbacks 😭
Seriously such a good line! I hope it wasn’t scripted and was a genuine witty comment lmfao 🤣
I have a feeling that's gonna be on my shortlist of 2024 greatest quotes from youtube all year now.
I had to pause and come to the comments

Steel toe boots now required for all builds.

He really is accident prone.
@HRTeam
12:20 i love how proud they look
All Samsung gaming setup?
I'd just like to mention that the "PRO" wheelbase, wheel and pedalset is a direct drive setup and is meant to compete with higher end simracing equipment such as stuff from Fanatec, simucube and so on. The price is still high, but it's not directly comparable to the likes of G29 set or Thrustmaster T300 i.e.
Also in terms of just console related sim hardware, for the features and the price. Its probably one of the cheapest given its power.
same thing iwas about to say with the main issue with it no shifter or handbrake acc
I think Linus is confusing the wheel for the G923, which is basically just the G25 from many years ago with small changes, and yes, it has gotten a lot more expensive for no good reason.
@@hiddevanesch5667 i dont agree with the no goods reason part, direct drive wheel are a worlds apart from normal wheels. dd motors like the ones use in elevators and shredders are 2k and higher.
@@ThatZenkiS14 He's saying that the G923 is more expensive for no real reason. I don't think anyone will debate that direct drive is always going to be worlds apart from belt driven setups.
For anyone interested in the Boom arm: make sure your microphone is heavy and not light.. Cause that arm is going to be flying upwards straight if its too light even if you tightened the boomarm to the limit
or just stuff a weight somewhere on it.
PSA: The NZXT one is the same arm and has the same issue. They use one spring for both lower joints, so while the lower one is still ok, the middle one will straighten the arm quite violently.
However, if you need a catapult, it's fine.
For the sale price, the compass arm is fine but after using some R0DE PSA1+ ones here at work, the compass feel like toys. If you need to move the mic around a lot, you're going to be doing a LOT of tightening.
There's a bolt at the base to set the spring tension. Loosen it if your mic is light.
If your mic is especially light, that spring isn't enough. It's just a poorly designed arm.
Love the focus on Logitech and the clear explanation on the brand's offerings. The prices are quite steep though.
Logitech makes really good stuff, just always wait for a sale. They have them often enough.
They def went for all of the higher end stuff, a g502 hero wired would only be around 40$ and my current logi keyboard, which is really nice, was also only around 60$
@@LeoLyu-vs4cw g502 hero is still $80 msrp
@@SchwertKruemel yeah but literally nobody buys this stuff at MSRP, and I dont understand why they're using Logitech own store prices, when they use BestBuy and other sellers when putting up PC setup videos.
@@SchwertKruemel MSRP is irrelevant if you can often find the product with a discount or a markup.
6:05 - I am currently watching this on my Logitech Z-5500 surround sound speaker system (the beautiful set that replaced this Z-680 set). I just can't get over how much I love these 15+ year old speakers! 😊
Loved my Z-5500! Think I bought mine in 2006 or so and have only replaced it a few months ago. Amazing lifetime value and that subwoofer had some serious oomph!
I've still got my 2.1 Z2300 set going strong that I bought approx 2006. The older Logitech audio stuff is still great today.
I LOVED those speakers!, They were my favourite 5.1 all-in-one system I bought as a teen, I remember playing Modern Warfare 2 on the AC-130 mission and not only was the sound quality amazing but that woofer was shaking the house every time I fired the 105mm - Which meant I was doing it often! 😂 If I could I would absolutely get them again.
I don't think there's really been a comparable modern equivilent that does its job(s) as well if not better for around the same price? 🙁
Literally watching this using my X-530's from '07. They have never failed me to this day and still sound as good as ever!
The theme of Elijah constantly getting hurt continues xD better give him his pink helmet back, would even fit the logitec theme
Elijah has a pink helmet. LOL
13:39 looked rough and I don't even know how he managed 15:40
All this while only appearing in the video halfway through! Impressive…
Now he needs a helmet and steel toe shoes
@@dontmindme8709 That one at 15:40 was so fake. Imagine if that guy had a job doing anything physical or hard, he'd literally die on the first day of the job.
@@FlyboyHelosim He used to work at an Electronics Recycler.
12:20 thats my desktop wallpaper from now on!
Really love the chemistry between the three of you! Good job people!
I absolutely adore these two guys, their personalities are fantastic and really vibe with Linus, incredibly entertaining video that just left me with a feel good feeling and having laughed and chuckled several times throughout.
I love the bad overdubbing at 2:01 to correct Linus's misspoken price.
Honestly I wasnt really paying attention at that moment and didnt even notice the overdubbing
Better than the on screen corrections
Yes, a million times better than on screen corrections. I love it and I hope they keep doing that
2:00 that voice over was pretty well done
I had to go back and listen again after reading your comment, i barely heard it!
So well done i didnt notice it til i read this comment lol
Channeling LABeast with that one lol
Yeah that was smooth af.
16:00 How is it that Elijah is the responsible one in the room?? 🤣
Me watching this video with -1$ in my bank account:
Got me beat by 799
I have a crazy merch idea: Make a special version of the LTT desk pad that has a section with thinner rubber, along with a cutout for the control box on the Logitech powerplay. This could allow you to use it without the bulge and keep the charging zone in about the right location regardless of the size of the deskpad. All without having to mill out the top of the desk!
Make it a spacer add on that goes underneath so you don’t have to buy a new deskpad
You could just get a viper v2 pro and call it a day😅
How would u make a cutout in thin cloth? U would loose tons of structural integrity. Would also make it so much more expensive
@@verakoo6187 It isn't thin cloth, it's a pretty thick rubber material with cloth adhered to the surface.
@@coolbeanschannel That could possibly work too.
The racing wheel Linus is using today is completely different from what Alex was using in his budget sim racing video. This is the pro one which has direct drive and everything, Jake reviewed it, the one Alex was using was the standard G920 which is gear driven.
Didn't Alex also do a review of the direct drive wheel when it came out?
@@hiRyan329329 Jake did an unboxing on short circuit, that's the only video they made of it.
I actually like team hosts and the wild Linus setup. There was a lot going on but it felt like I could keep up with it and it helped with my engagement of the video. Keep up the good work!
Some advice from owning the Compass mic arm. It's sold as a combo deal with the Blue Yeti, but it's not really designed for it. The internal mechanism is literally a steel wire with no grease that holds the entire arm in place using friction against a piece of plastic. It's very prone to self combusting if you over tighten it, and there's no indication on how much you're supposed to tighten the mic arm. It's especially bad if you're constantly moving the mic vertically, hinging at the base. Mine lasted less than a year before the steel wire ate through the plastic, and it lost the ability to hold my mic up. It's a very aesthetically pleasing mic arm when it works, but the Blue Yeti with Boom arm at maximum extension is a bit too much for the arm to hold comfortably, unless they've majorly changed the design in the last 3 years. Even at the discounted price, the Compass is still substantially less sturdy than comparable mic arms like the Samson MBA38. The Compass is rated for half the weight of the Samson mic arm, and it shows.
I'm not going to say "don't ever buy it", but if you're going to buy it, have a plan in place to avoid constantly moving the mic arm. Use the Compass for what it was intended for: Looking pretty and keeping your cables clean. If you want something that's durable enough to move from the middle of your desk to the edge every day without fail, look somewhere else.
I really liked when it was just Adam and Elijah. Kinda felt like two kids waiting in line at the supermarket for thier dad to come back. But at the same time they did great on this video and I would love to see more videos with them playing larger roles!
FYI, you can extend the speaker controller cords using 15-Pin HD15 D-Sub *data* cables (and 9-Pin DB9 D-Sub for the other one). Amphenol makes good ones.
Wow I just passively aggressively wrote the same thing. I thought Linus grew up with old displays and consoles... I'm honestly quite shocked he didn't notice it, hence the passive aggressiveness. I hope Dan tells them. I'm like 90% sure he'll know since he's hard core into older stuff that might use D-Sub connectors still.
Yeah, he held those up and I'm thinking "I've got a VGA and 9 pin Serial extension around here still, I bet." No idea how he didn't recognize them, or was he being intentionally obtuse?
@@sireuchre not VGA, 9-pin data, they aren't the same pinouts.
People on various forums I looked into when researching this before said VGA will not work.
@@sireuchrenow see it wasn't as simple as you thought lmao
Yeah. As annoyed as I would be to see speakers that don't just use standard speaker wire, it is really nice that they didn't use proprietary connectors.
I'm loving the aspect ratio thank you :D
A bit wider would also do. Would be way better for me tho
We use the Mevo camera at my Church to do our livestreams. We’ve had it for years and haven’t had any problems with it so far. Great little product.
Logitech pro wheel has actually very good feedback in the sim racing world. Its just not an easy buy in when logitech has made no announcements for swap-able wheels or anything which is huge for the price you are paying compared to other brands like Moza which I also use for that reason :)
I really can’t get enough of the creative editing this team does with the bad overdubs and the snarky text. Not to mention the off camera comments. It’s great.
Man, I'm pretty deep into the Logitech ecosystem, but slowly transitioning out of it.
But the 1 thing I will never replace is the powerplay mouse/charger combo. Unparalleled comfort and performance. Haven't even thought of charging my g502 in the last 4 years.
Got an Embody from HM over COVID and it's the best office chair I've ever spent considerable time in. We've had other HM chairs at the office but I can sit in mine without feeling any discomfort. Completely worth the cost if you can get 10+ years out of it when you spend 8 hours a day using it.
Also bear in mind that since it's Herman Miller it has their 12 year warranty, so you're guaranteed to get at least 12 years out of it; if it breaks before then they'll fix it for you. I have one myself and I agree that it's worth every penny.
2:02 Damn that 40
Linus what a voice lmao
Haha they though we wouldnt notice :)
yeah tf happpened there, sounded like a James voiceover
@@BanterSage well what happened is easy
They made a mistake then fixed in post but didn't call linux to just record a "40" and just used whatever voice was there XD
@@Julienraptor01 Linux. LOL
What's weird is that they've been experimenting with a robot Linus voice. It was on the WAN talking about power supplies in a very disjointed way.
6:30 If you want an extension for logitechs speaker wires, you CANNOT use a standard VGA cable, even though the pins are the same. You will need a 15-pin D-SUB extension cable. For the other one, a serial cable might just work fine (don't know, haven't tried)
I mean you can just DIY the cables as you can probably find these connects for sale. better than some company like Corsair...
I bought the connectors and build myself an extension cable. Workes great, but i would have still liked to just buy something off the shelf @@AaronShenghao
Some higher quality VGA cables have all of the wires inside them, but honestly it's 50/50 at this point.
@@AaronShenghao you'd probably end up spending more on a decent crimper for the dsub pins. And the backshell/pin block.
Or just dont get a bad speaker system from them and get a cheaper one that is better and uses actual speaker wires? *cough* z906 *cough*
Cheers for this review of stuff, I love my super light and my pro x - I am 100% going to have to pick up that racing sim setup & the wireless charging kit thats bangin.
maybe some of those lights too.
Its the Minecraft “Ohhuuuu” at 14:10 for me 😂
Noticed it too =P
Elijah taking a beating in every video is now standard procedure
I still use my very old, still very good z5300 logitech speakers I've had for I don't know, 20 years? They still sound awesome, sub still hits more than hard enough for my room. Quality speakers last forever, and I've spent the last 20 years playing games, watching shows/anime/movies and it and its been fantastic.
We use the mevo cameras to stream our kids baseball games to parents who can’t show up. And to save for highlight reels. Sideline HD I think is the service we use for the overlay on the broadcast. Paired with game changer for score keeping the game. They even have ai generated blurbs after the game that use the kids stats to determine valuable players during the game. We don’t use a Ethernet adapter usually just a 5g hotspot.
The slight camera jiggle at 8:15 is preceless
6:04 Still using my Z-5500 speakers from forever ago and they still work perfectly. Bring quality back!
I have a set of these still! Granted I don't use them anymore, but I can still appreciate them :D
Same! Had them since 2009. About 4 years ago I scored a second set on Craigslist for $40, thinking it would be a backup if my main set ever died. Almost 15 years old and still kicking
Same with my Z-2300, though my controller broke so Im only using the sub atm. Got it working with a 2.1 Sound AMP with some hacking and soldering :P
I use mine for TV speakers at the moment...
Yeah, still loving my Z-906 system from 2011.
When during the pandemic Home-Office hit i bought mouse, mousepad, Keyboard and headphone in the older versions from this setup, for.... Work. And i freaking love it
i liked the comedy in this vid, great video, mood improved ❤
Been using the mx master 3s for a few weeks now and i think this and the mx master lineup in general deserves a main channel video. the customisation you can do in the software is beyond anything and it changed my workflow so drastically
Been watching Linus for years and feel like I have to say, the company changes made in the last 6 or so months is absolutely showing from a viewers perspective that has been watching for years! I love how much more of the crew we are seeing be involved and getting to know them and their personalities! Wholesome group
I loved the edit, "two hundred FORTY DOLLARS". Good effort, nearly seamless. Love the video!
I have a Logitech MX518 from 2005 that is still my daily driver! I have tried many since and none of them lasted more than a year, this old MX518 just doesn't give up.
Loved the mx518, had been my daily driver, then backup mouse for many years,but I tortured mine once too often, and not currently able to repair it, so got a g502 hero
I got mine from my Brother in around 2009, had to repair the cable in 2015. Still going strong.
I got the 518 remake for my office PC.
It's literally been with me for over half my life. Amazing stuff. The only other hardware that has been with me that long is my G15 keyboard. Had to do a membrane repair due to liquid spell, and there is a rip in the rubber under the e key, but hey.
Old Logitech stuff really was amazing.
As a Logitech (LOGI) shareholder since 2016, I'm ecstatic by how much everything costs! 😀👍
However, as a 46-year-old gamer whose every peripheral is made by Logitech, I'm grateful for Best Buy's annual clearance sales. 😅
When does this clearance happen? Boxing day?
@@LLF1234 Weirdly enough, I've found the best deals on Logitech (and all technology, actually) in the time BETWEEN Black Friday and Christmas.
... except laptops. For some reason, the best laptop deals happen between the start of school (late-August/early-September) and Black Friday. 🤔
the logitech suite of mice is really nice. I still use an MX Master 2 every day and the flow feature is nice as I'm frequently switching between devices and sometimes want to move things quickly between them. Also one of the most comfortable mice I've used
Still using a first gen MX Master and pretty sure I'm never not going to use them as my main mouse lol
this is actually a very interesting video... really appreciate it
I saw logitech speakers like the ones you guys used, about 2~3 years ago when I got mine. I purposely avoided them because of those proprietary plugs and i dont really car about rgb. I ended up going with a 5.1 surround that they sell, because you can just thread speaker wires in them. They honestly need to make more speakers that are like that. When I was buying, I think the 5.1 set up i got was the only ones of its type with it, that logitech offered.
I will say, even though the Hermen Miller is an expensive AF chair, it is REALLY phenomenal. I bought one after working from home for a while, and my back pain has entirely gone away. If you can afford it, and you sit in a lot, it is ABSOLUTELY worth it.
A good chair is one of the things you should NOT skimp on.
Exact same experience. I had a Secret Labs gaming chair when confinement started and started having back pains on long work days followed by game nights. Got the black and blue Herman MillerXLogitech Embody. Pain is gone entirely. 100% worth the expense.
Elijah is a great dude! I like him in every video. Keep him, he is a gem!
I have recently started using Logitech gear and my first purchase was the G60 headset which I'm so impressed with I'm now looking at replacing my mouse and keyboard with Logitech due to Icue software being a constant pain. I love these videos but would like to see more stuff being showcased that is more affordable to the average person rather than top of the line items which most people can't afford. Keep up the good work.
My Corsair Scimitar Pro mouse died when it fell off my bed, the K95 Platinum was extremely difficult to type on. Regardless of Windows or iCue settings the thing would do key repeats at some nonsense of 20ms, same in linux. May be my fault getting Cherry Silvers.
Upside, i got to uninstall iCue which for no good reason was taking up 1.3GB of diskspace, and I only used it for programmable buttons.
Couldn't even get it to do the audio visualizer on the keyboard, seems need a corsair headset for that.
Odd really, since using openRGB does it, and is something less than 30MB unzipped
I use the Scimitar as well and it's a great mouse but unfortunately the extra buttons don't work without having the Icue software to macro them in. The Keyboard has been ok but have had this for quite a few years now and I'm due an upgrade. Icue worked fine with windows 10 but since I upgraded my pc I'm now on windows 11 and Icue is just not compatible with it. I find myself re-installing Icue at least once every few weeks because it will just disappear from my pc on its's own and still would require some jiggery pokery to get it to re-install. I think Logitech is the way forward for me, I just need to find a good like for like replacement for the Scimitar.
Tbh the best mice are made by zowie no stupid software needed to change any settings, as for keyboards like any hot swap qmk via programmable is better you can get them cheaper then name brand ones with better quality and software that is actually good.
I love their G502 with the weights, and they’ve got a good line of keyboards and I like the Wonderboom speakers. That racing setup though? That’s a ton of money before you even get to the computer itself.
Don't know if this will be seen, but I think mentioning in the video something like "we'll show you and audio test in a few" then having each of the mics tested one right after the other would be less disruptive. However, I appreciate having them in there at all!
12:17 men, being men.
The sponsor is basically like save your money from others by giving it to us lol
Well I've been gaming on a logitech Craft Keyboard + MX Master Mouse for years and I absolutely love it
Great video!
Would love to watch next an "All Razer Setup" !
I use logitech m330 silent mouse for 2 years and it is awesome! When you get used to it, regular mouse buttons comes loud and heawy. Logitech makes good products no doubt.
Really like the help this video, I am sorry I don't know your names but you both did a great job
I have the hyperboom and love it, didn't expect to see it in this video but it's loud and clear, great for parties. Very bassy, although clearly my ears aren't as refined as the pros in the video.
This is my favourite type of content, just 3 grown men messing around with super expensive tech stuff and having a lot of fun
You mean an infomercial?
20:10 I can't believe you guys are using 10 year old sponsor spots, use can't keep jump scaring me with mid 20s Linus like that.
The biggest ad campaign from Logitech. Great stuff!
I have those speakers, and they are always sold out, they sound really great in my opinion and i love the fact that they have rgb on them, my only gripe with them is that there is no stand for the speakers so im currently looking for an upgrade that is a little better
Third time's the charm: please make a playlist of your "All X" setups!

Done. ua-cam.com/play/PL8mG-RkN2uTxtuJChh0vAM5Kf6SeoOpby.html
They did! ua-cam.com/play/PL8mG-RkN2uTxtuJChh0vAM5Kf6SeoOpby.html
it worked!
3:45 "That's great cause I'm gonna spend 33% of my time _looking_ for this mouse on this mousepad. How will I find it?" 🤣
This is the first video where I felt "in the moment" with the other people in the scene. Full credit to the writers of this episode-stellar work!
when it's working properly, logitech's management software, ghub usually works pretty well.... when it's working.
I constantly run in to issues with it though. For example, I am currently having an issue where it just doesn't launch at startup anymore. So I have to manually launch it whenever I boot my PC. Sometimes the program just shuts down when the PC goes in to sleep mode. Sometimes it just doesn't swap to a program's configuration when you alt+tab in to it.
When it is working though, it works great.
Ah, I remember my Z5500 speakers SO well. That thing was *the shit* back in the day. Serious sub woofer power and was built like a proper sub too.
Yeah man, hosted several big home parties with my logitech set back then… one night in bankok on max bass yehaaa
@@kugi518 Hahah same man same. I do have a proper setup now, but I can still really appreciate what Logitech did back in the day.
@@kugi518 I basically use my z623's like that right now lmao, bought them years ago for my PC but now they're my TV speakers and neighbor annoyers. In a small apartment like mine it's not far off from the two 12's I had in my car back in the day, atleast if you don't go below 35hz :P
The classic blue yeti is now a relic of the past, would love to see a test comparing the new logitech counterparts and the Blue ones
I have a question , is 500 meter above sea level dangerous for all in one water coolers that are 2 years in use on a pc that was built at sea level ?
I saw some posts about it exploding in the pc at high altitudes ( 6000 feet )
Steelseries next please! I love their keyboards and headsets.
WARNING!! JUMPSCARE AT 20:19!!
In an office environment, I've been putting logitech keyboards & mice out as replacements for the ones that come with PC's for years. They might be a few quid more, but I've found the cheaper options are a false economy. Even the printing on the the keys seems to last longer than a lot of other brands. And, at home, my old G920 wheel is still going strong after years of abuse!
I beg to differ on that, at least when it comes to mice. I had 3 mice (MX Master, G602, G502 SE) die right after the 2 year warranty ran out. The MX Master just outright died and the other 2 had the left mouse button fail.
I will NEVER buy "gaming" mice ever again. Don't need the rgb, don't need a gajillion buttons, don't need 25k dpi and I certain don't want to replace 80$ mice every 2 years
@@GameCyborgCh I'm sorry to hear that. Though I was talking about standard, entry level, wired mice, not the gaming mice, if I ever require a gaming mouse, I'll read some reviews first! 🙂
Eli is quickly becoming one of my favorites. He is so funny, no clue how often he is trying to be, but it really works on camera. He’s both awkward and confident, kind of what I aspire to turn my awkwardness into 😂
On the embody:
I have one. got it on sale for about 1.3k €. Worth it if it's for work and it's the chair for you. Unfortunately there's almost no way to test it before you buy it.
It's a REALLY good chair but it's not perfect and it's really dependent on if it fits you and how you sit.
17:15 The version you guys have there is the PRO version not the non pro version, the regular logitech racing wheel is still a few hundred bucks.
How surprised Linus may act, he knows lol.
They featured the G923 as well as the Pro on their channels.
Also I'm pretty sure he did not see the Herman Miller chair for the first time?
Ive had my powerplay mat for years now and i had NO IDEA I could use it as a receiver! Thanks LTT for freeing up one of my USB ports!
My current logitech setup is the k380 and the pebble, great looks and good office/productivity performance. I game with a white 8bitdo pad to match the keyboard/mouse so it's more for comfort and aesthetics I use the cheap and cheerful combo 😂
Never thought the day would come I see something I actually own in a LTT video, but I have the wired version of the keyboard and I LOVE it !! Being able to change the RGB effects for *individual games* is so much fun and even as a broke college student I don't regret buying it lmaooo
Great job Reed!! Completely agree with your analysis. I just have to get on the home assistant train. Too many honey do list items first! Keep up the great work!!
8:32 If your Bluetooth speaker have a volume button, Android OS has this thing called Absolute Bluetooth Volume enabled by default, which force you to only be able to control the volume of your android phone, and not one in the Bluetooth speaker no matter which button you press, and if your Bluetooth speaker reset its volume to say 50% after booting , it'll stay that way
Man, I used to be a big Logitech fan back when the G13 programmable gaming keypad was a thing. I loved that I could utilize one software UI for nearly all of my peripherals. These days though, Razer is the only brand that produces a somewhat decent and relatively affordable programmable gaming keypad with their Tartarus models, so I'm generally stuck running multiple UIs as Razer's Mice, in my experience, have all been hot garbage regarding QC, longevity and software bugginess. After switching to my Swiftpoint Z gaming mouse 5+ years ago though, I'll probably never go back to Logitech for mice anymore either. I already got in on the early bird special of Swiftpoint's soon-to-be-released Z2 gaming mouse. If it's anything like it's predecessor, it will be well-worth the dollars spent. And realistically, at the $130-ish I put down as an early adopter, that seems to be a great price considering how fully featured the Z-series mice are compared to these mainstream competitors.
I so love my G13, a mode /color each for gaming, productivity and mostly random macros. It's still just running off LGS from 2018, and I found it cool that my new g502 hero works off that software too ( I guess it's an older model)
I was expecting this to be a sponsored video, really happy that it wasn't. You gave them good and fair criticism
I still use H800 headphones. They're lightweight, I can connect them to my phone or computer, and they aren't giant puffy over-the-ear things. And the sound quality is perfectly fine. They were discontinued, though, and I have to shop ebay for replacements whenever the micro usb connection inevitably breaks. Those used to retail for $40-60, and I can get them "like new" for $35-45.
Their most comparable current product IS 240 DOLLARS. To heck with that.
I literally LOL'd at this 👉🏻 12:20
🤣🤣🤣
My new favorite character in the Linus Tech Tips Universe (LTTU) 12:19
I love how Linus reviews and exposes how not worth some of theese things are even if (correct me if I'm wrong) Logitech sponsored some of their videos.
That shows that You don't need all brand hardware and periferals to game as an average gamer, You just need to do some research and filter what's best for your wallet without necessarily crippling your performances.
I've got somewhat of an average build and, although i'm not reaching top tier performances, i can still fully enjoy high end games at about 1000 euros total (monitor, pc and periferals included).
It's been a while since I've watched one of Your videos (for some reason the feed hasn't showed me one in a while now) but it's always a pleasure to see that you kept your technical and still honest reviews intact in almost a year now.
Love Your work, You're the one who made me love electronics in the first place, keep it up!
P.S. Sorry for my bad english, i tried to be as understandable as possible, hope i made myself clear lol
16:40 i think ill stick with my $50 Walmart office chair
12:13
meme
I still use my Logitech Z-5500, paid 200$ new for it, its 5.1 surround THX certified (which btw is hard to achieve at that price), been using it well over 9 years and its badass, I LOVE this thing, super loud, impossible to find anymore...
I should say, while the Herman miller embody is super expensive, they are always on sale. In addition, if there’s a Herman miller/design within reach store near you sometimes they also have better promotions. It’s an amazing chair that I live by!
