No more console gaming peripherals from Logitech

They made console stuff?

Well, they still make the best PC mice and keyboards.  In fact, thats all I have ever purchased except for my Filco mechanical keyboard for my gaming machine.  Their unifying wireless keyboards and mice are some of the best I have purchased.

I have a G9x, 3x M570 wireless trackballs, and 3x K360 wireless keyboards for my systems.  I also have a really great 2.1 speaker system from them as well.  Had a great headphone set for my gaming system as well, until the cat cut the wire trying to get my attention.

Just keep making the G25/G27 and I'll be good.

i think they are doing this because next gen consoles are about to come out.

maybe once the new gen consoles have come out they might start selling them again

I wonder if this is as wise move, considering that next-gen consoles are right around the corner...

This is pretty ironic. Not enough dough in the consoles for the peripheral makers, hah!

Oh well, I'm sure they'll keep cranking out PC goodies.

what does this mean to logitech steering wheels?

Microsoft with holding wireless controller licenses from third partys have devastated Logitech, well there is always the next generation coming out - hope for the best for logitech.  

Sadly for consumers without cheap third part peripherals, console makers are able to keep their price for controllers histrionically elevated. With markups in the 60+ % range 8 years after their releases.  

Can't believe there's not a PC-or-Console controller already. There's already hundreds of adapters out there, even cross-console adapters in case you want to use your 360 controller on your PS3, or vice-versa. Can't imagine it would be so difficult to implement this into the controller itself.

still using G510 and G500 ....~.~ and planning to upgrade my Philips speaker to logictech 5.1....too....

Bummer.  They make great controllers.

They make great products, if only they could make them more affordable they wouldn't have to cut it from their products list.  I own the G510 keyboard, and the G9x mouse.  Solid additions for my PC.

Hope they change the software for my harmony remote to be offline only then, otherwise I lose the ability to reprogram it. :(

I didn't even know Logitech made console peripherals

Awww.. I will better buy it before end of this year. :D

As long as they keep making stuff for PC it's good.

looks like my two spare logitech driving force GT racing wheels may be appreciating in price in the near future, especially with the inevitable launch of GT6 on the PS4.

This isn't as much of an issue as long as the software makers program their games to support the peripherals. Polyphony patched GT5 a few times to support more and more PC wheels.

To be honest they kinda faltered in their console offering this generation. In the PS2 era I absolutely LOVED my wireless Logitech PS2 controller, it was miles better than the official one, but for the PS3 Logitech's offering was very poor. This is making me consider buying one of their racing wheels though before they become a rarity, the quality of those are top notch (as are their mice, keyboards, speakers etc)

Problem with them going to the xbox and the ps3..There where very few racing games..Sure you have people who love gta5 and forza..Not much after that..There space games for the pc being made these days..You have more racing options for the pc i think..

Logitech G15
Logitech Speakers X530
Mouse m500

I trust Logitech a lot, they got top notch quality.
Razer is cool too, especially their design, but as for the quality..not that great.
I remember my Diamondback 3G lasted only for a year or so. Squeaky left button, and then I just couldn't press it to click something.

Forgot to mention how much I love my Logitech G13, wouldn't know what to do without it! Hope they keep on making it, because when/if this one breaks (been absolutely problem free since 2010), I'm buying a replacement the very same day.

In past I've purchased many Razer items, including

1 deathadder

1 naga (2011)

2 mamba (one back in 2009, one back in 2011)

1 black widow keyboard ultimate

all of those periphials, with an exception of the black widow keyboard, BROKE WITHIN 6 months of purchase. (The old mamba from back in 2009 actually started jittering a month after the purchase.) 

The keyboard is great, but quality of the Razer mouse is just plain HORRIBLE.

I'd love a new PC gamepad from Logitech perhaps with better wifi, buttons, D-pads, and maybe in Wii U pro controller lay out.

Long ago I realized two import rules: 1. Do not buy tech made specifically for children. Even off brand adult tech will work much better then that. It happened with cameras, tablets, and televisions (to name a few). The standard is set too low. 2. Most accessory tech for consoles suck. Maybe because there was not enough competition, since you have to use connectors unique to that console. Or maybe they considered it a kid-like item.

By and large since Razer picked up the quality in their Mice and Keyboards I haven't bought a logitech mouse/keyboard for a while. However I DO tend to stick with Logitech when it comes to flight sticks and my headphones, so hopefully cutting the low volume console stuff will give them the chance to put more money into those.

the problem i have with all logitech mice is that their middle click is stiff.  they need to make their middle clicks easy and comfortable to press like the CM xornet mouse.

I'm still waiting for updates for my G19 keyboard :\

As awesome as Logitech is in terms of an unbeatable price / quality balance, I didn't even know they make console peripherals at all o.o Always thought they're PC Only, so, no big deal for me as long as PC keeps getting support :)

I have a logitech racing wheel, and while it works, it's not really the best designed or built. Other than that, I don't have any logitech accessories for any of my three consoles. So if I am typical of the market, this is probably a wise choice on their part. For my PC gear, I always prefer Logitech keyboard and mice over a lot of others. Have done so since the early '90s. They make good stuff.

I like Logitech stuff, but Razer is the place to go for high end stuff.

Glad to hear they're still going to support PC peripherals, the G13 is one of my favorite gaming devices.

Not sure I am buying into the talk of Logitech being worse than Razer. My Razer headset which set me back £120 had power issues that were never resolved. My friends Razer mice always fade in terms of asthetics with the rubbery surface wearing away fairly quickly. 

I have always found logitech stuff to be rather tank like. However I have gone through 2 logitech mice in under 10 years which both went with a blink of an eye and without any really warnings. So maybe not is all well with logitech. Perhaps corsair can fill that void of high quality components. My 800D case has served me well for the past 3 years aside from the hotswap bays having connection issues :P

Goodbye Logitech, Welcome Razer. Here have our money. Your the best.

Best PC gaming peripherals is Razer.I tried quite a lot of mices and keyboards from Logitech and they do not come even to the knees of quality of Razer peripherals .

lol Logitech made console accessories?

Silly of gamespot to show a picture of their PC items when only the console stuff is getting cut.

Logitech's quality -is- slipping I think.  I had a mouse from them that died after 2 and a half years of use.  Yeah, that's not awful, but I have a Microsoft IntelliMouse 3.0 that I've had for something like 7 or 8 years and it still works absolutely perfectly.  I don't know how ANYONE can be successful in the 3rd party console peripheral market unless they're the super cheapo alternative and not an equal or more expensive alternative.  The market is too narrow for anything other than the cheapo alternative.
