Logitech G & Streamlabs
Growing a Twitch channel to reach a wider audience can be challenging. Hence, the ability to efficiently and seamlessly create, edit, and publish engaging content that resonates with viewers across multiple platforms is more critical than ever. With the new AI Game Highlighter, the most exciting gameplay moments from game streams are automatically identified and combined into a highlight reel that can be managed by Streamlabs Desktop broadcasting software.
With the click of a button, streamers can turn streams into engaging content for publishing across their social content platforms. This saves time manually sifting through hours of footage and ensures streamers can capture the most compelling content for their social media channels. Streamers can focus on what matters most – connecting with their audience and growing their channels. By leveraging AI Highlighter's automated algorithmic tools, streamers can ensure their content remains fresh and relevant across different platforms.
G915 X Lightspeed
The G915 X features a completely redesigned galvanic switch. The original switches' hook-style stem were replaced with a new POM, cross-style stem. This new design improves the overall stability of the key for a better and quieter typing experience and simplifies the replacement or customization of your keycaps. In addition, the switches' actuation point was reduced from 1.5 to 1.3mm, resulting in quicker actuation. PBT keycaps were added and upgraded from ABS to double-shot, shine-through PBT, which offers better resistance to wear and reduces the visibility of potential oil from your fingers. The build quality is key to a superior typing experience. The aluminum top plate thickness was increased from 1.2 to 1.5 mm, improving the product's structural strength and adding the final touch of improvement to an already-loved typing experience. The G915 X Lightspeed retains the original's tri-mode connectivity and features our ultrafast Lightspeed wireless, Bluetooth, and USB-wired connectivity. Moreover, the battery life was improved compared to the original without compromising performance. With backlighting off, the full-size version of the G915 X Lightspeed delivers up to 800 hours of battery life.
Astro A50 Generation 5 Headset
The A50 Generation 5, now with PlaySync Audio, is based on the same architecture as our award-winning A50 X, offering a streamlined and versatile feature set tailored for multiplatform gamers. The new PlaySync Audio feature is designed specifically for players who want to use USB for seamless audio switching between console and PC platforms and don't require HDMI video switching. With PlaySync Audio, users can connect up to three gaming systems simultaneously—including Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, and more—via USB-C and swiftly switch between them with a single button on the headset. This innovative feature ensures that gamers can effortlessly transition between their favorite platforms without any hassle. And, with the A50 Gen 5, users can now connect the Nintendo Switch in docked mode via USB and use PlaySync Audio to switch between it and their other connected systems.
