History and Focus

Logitech's foray into gaming gear began in the 1990s as PC gaming grew in popularity. They started creating specialized mice and joysticks. The "G" series was officially introduced in the 2000s. A significant part of Logitech G's strategy involves collaborating with professional esports players and teams. This feedback from elite athletes directly influences the design and engineering of their products, particularly the "PRO" series, which is built with minimal distractions and maximum performance in mind. This close relationship with the professional gaming community has helped cement Logitech G as a trusted and leading brand in the world of esports and competitive gaming.
