Today, Logitech unveiled MX Brio/MX Brio 705 for Business, a revolutionary high-end webcam for end users and enterprises, designed to meet the demanding needs of advanced users. MX Brio is Logitech's most advanced webcam yet and joins the Master Series ecosystem alongside MX keyboards and mice to deliver outstanding performance and streaming experiences, while fostering quality collaboration. The Ultra HD 4K webcam helps creative professionals and developers elevate their virtual presence and efficiently share results and ideas.

"We know that MX users collaborate and communicate from many different environments, and need a versatile webcam offering the best video and sound quality," said Anatoliy Polyanker, General Manager of the MX Business at Logitech. "MX Brio is our highest quality webcam, featuring customization and the ability to show themselves or their work in the best possible way."

Today, Logitech announced Casa Pop-Up Desk is now available in North America. The wait is over for this compact, all-in-one desk setup consisting of a wireless keyboard and intuitive touchpad, stored inside a book-like case that transforms into an ergonomic laptop stand designed for the home. As our ways of working keep evolving, and often home and work life can blend easily, Casa Pop-Up Desk offers an ideal solution that seamlessly transforms any surface into a comfortable, productive and versatile workspace, regardless of where you work.

"Casa Pop-Up Desk marked a new venture for Logitech, catering to the different workspace needs as people navigate working in their home environment more than in the past," said Joseph Mingori, general manager of mobile solutions and partnerships in Personal Workspace Solutions at Logitech. "The resounding success of its launch in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand last year has propelled Casa's expansion into North America, where we see an escalating demand for a much-needed all-in-one solution that can work in your home or your office environment if you have shared workspace."

Game streaming and content creation is continuously expanding with new tools. Gamers desire products that push the boundaries of play and allow for more customization options than ever. Customizable lighting has been one of the most effective ways to add a unique personality to devices and experiences. It's also a powerful force for immersion, creativity and learning, and sets your game stream apart from the others. LIGHTSYNC RGB empowers users with endless lighting customization. Now, with the addition of Dynamic Windows, LIGHTSYNC just got bigger, better, and brighter. Shine on!"

Dynamic Lighting empowers users to get the most out of their RGB devices with one consistent experience across all compatible devices. This new standard provides a new way for Logitech G users to configure their LIGHTSYNC capable devices by leveraging Windows 11 to directly send lighting to their devices. Dynamic Lighting allows for third party applications on Windows to directly address RGB-enabled LEDs on connected devices. Any compatible device can receive lighting events, and any developer can build applications using this standard to control their lighting environment.

Logitech has announced that all video collaboration devices that run on the CollabOS operating system will now be manufactured with next-life plastics, helping enterprise customers support their sustainability objectives. Existing products- Rally Bar, Rally Bar Mini, Tap IP, Tap Scheduler, and Scribe- are being refreshed with materials that lower the carbon impact of each product. This provides organizations with a partner that in turn helps position them to better manage their carbon footprint. "By transitioning our portfolio of conference room devices to a lower product carbon footprint, we are helping other companies navigate their sustainability challenges," said Prakash Arunkundrum, Chief Operating Officer at Logitech. "We're not only designing and manufacturing new products with recycled plastic and other lower carbon materials, but refreshing existing products to provide IT leaders with a new way to evaluate their workplace technology investment in conference room systems—one that includes people and planet. We do this without increasing prices or compromising the highest quality and performance companies expect from Logitech."

Efforts to reduce negative environmental impact have rapidly become a business imperative. In a recent survey of IT professionals by analyst firm Frost & Sullivan, 65% say that becoming a leader in environmental, social, governance and sustainability practices is a critical or very important business objective in the coming year.

Content creators often find themselves not just needing a static positioned camera to show their faces, but something to show on a bench or a table from an overhead viewpoint, and which can be easily repositioned. Perhaps the best example would be game streamers wanting a viewport showing their user inputs in real time; or an engineering content creator wanting to show something on their bench from top. For these applications and more, Logitech launched the new Logitech Reach, a 2-in-1 Full HD webcam and overhead camera. The star attraction here isn't the camera itself, but its armature, which has been meticulously engineered by Logitech to provide a near-spherical freedom of movement for the camera. Reposition it in real time, and it will hold its position—no need to turn any fasteners to hold it in place, but a simple locking mechanism.

The armature of the Logitech Reach allows full 360° freedom of motion for the camera along a radius. The second axis of movement is vertical, letting you raise of lower the distance between the camera and the object, so you could optically zoom. Besides horizontal and vertical movements, the camera itself is suspended along an pivot, for an added dimension. Moving the camera around is single handed, and practically effortless. The Reach allows content creators to easily and quickly change viewpoints, from themselves, to an object that they're trying to show their audience. The camera additionally features an up to 4.3x lossless zoom, autofocus, and intrinsic image stabilization from the armature.

Logitech G, a brand of Logitech and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear, today unveiled the Logitech G ASTRO A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset and Base Station, the fifth generation of the critically acclaimed ASTRO A50 Series console gaming headset.

Logitech G, a brand of Logitech and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear, and McLaren Racing are excited to announce the sixth season of the Logitech McLaren G Challenge racing competition, featuring the genre's hottest new title, Forza Motorsport by Turn 10 Studios. Last year, over 3,500 gamers participated in four months of exciting competition that came down to the wire, with the winners from Singapore, Germany, Canada, Chile, and Ireland, taking home the grand prize. For motorsports enthusiasts and amateur drivers, the official 2023-24 Logitech McLaren G Challenge racing season launches on November 16th, 2023 and will feature several opportunities to win prizes for both casual and hardcore drivers.

• Sales were $1.06 billion, down 8 percent in US dollars and 9 percent in constant currency, compared to the prior year.
• GAAP operating income was $157 million, up 23 percent compared to the prior year. Non-GAAP operating income was $183 million, up 17 percent compared to the prior year. In the quarter, the Company continued to reduce operating expenses, down 9 percent compared to the prior year, in line with the decline in net sales.
• GAAP earnings per share (EPS) was $0.86, up 72 percent compared to the prior year. Non-GAAP EPS was $1.09, up 30 percent compared to the prior year.

"The Logitech team stepped up execution this quarter and delivered results that demonstrate the underlying potential of our business," said Guy Gecht, Logitech interim chief executive officer. "We made great progress toward a return to growth and exceeded our pre-pandemic profit levels. Our design-led innovation capabilities were on full display, with 16 new product introductions during the quarter. I'm proud of what our team has accomplished in this challenging environment. We remain focused on developing market leading products, operational excellence, and value creation for shareholders."

Today, Logitech introduced Zone Wireless 2, a top-of-the-line business headset that uses AI to deliver unique two-way noise-free calling experiences. AI far-end noise suppression, noise-canceling mics, hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), and personalized stereo sound help business professionals hear and be heard clearly in calls and meetings, especially in noisy environments.

In today's hybrid work environments, individuals work from a variety of spaces, and in nearly every workspace, noise and poor sound quality can negatively affect collaboration and productivity. A recent Equipping Your Employees for Hybrid Work study found that 85% of work-from-home users struggle with audio issues, whether it's from background noise from other participants or poor sound quality through computer speakers. The same study found that hybrid workforces aren't properly equipped with modern collaboration tools, such as quality headsets.

Logitech G, a brand of Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear, announced the new Streamlabs Desktop Plugin for the Loupedeck. The new plugin provides Streamlabs creators with simple and powerful controls over their live streams, and direct access to the Streamlabs Desktop software using Loupedeck devices. Loupedeck builds consoles designed to improve the experience of major software programs such as Streamlabs across photo, video and audio editing, design, and livestreaming.

"When we acquired Loupedeck earlier this year we had a goal of providing a more seamless experience for Streamlabs creators from onboarding to everyday use with presets available out of the box for Loupedeck devices," said Ujesh Desai, general manager of Logitech G. "This release is our first offering, which accelerates our goal to bring an ecosystem of hardware and software to creators everywhere, enabling them to focus on doing what they do best, which is make amazing content."

Today, Logitech unveiled Wave Keys and Wave Keys for Business, a wireless ergonomic keyboard to address the increased need for wellbeing and comfort at the desk. Wave Keys features a signature wave design in a compact layout for comfortable typing that does not require relearning how to type, as well as an integrated cushioned palm rest for day-long support. As individuals of all ages spend more time in front of their computers, ergonomic needs are on the rise.

"We believe that everybody deserves to feel good at the end of a day of work, so we set about designing workspace essentials that are as attractive and approachable as they are ergonomic," said Art O'Gnimh, general manager of the Core Personal Workspace business at Logitech. "Wave Keys has workspace wellbeing at its heart, thanks to its science-driven design with a stamp of approval from leading ergonomists."

Today, Logitech G, in collaboration with Lucasfilm Ltd., announced the release of a special edition Return of the Jedi - inspired collection in honor of the 40th anniversary of the hit movie. Designed to celebrate the Star Wars legacy, the collection includes an officially licensed G502 X PLUS Millennium Falcon Edition Gaming Mouse and G840 XL Cloth Gaming Mouse Pad in Battle of Endor and Darth Vader Editions.

The G502 X PLUS Millennium Falcon Edition Gaming Mouse features pro-grade LIGHTSPEED wireless and all-new LIGHTFORCE switch technology for achieving higher levels of speed and reliability during gameplay. Built with custom Millennium Falcon-inspired thruster animations and graphics, the gaming mouse features 8-LED full-spectrum RGB lighting.

Logitech is readying a new ergonomic keyboard that will go under the name of Wave Keys according to several product images posted by WinFuture. As the name implies, the keyboard is wave shaped, but it's also somewhat curved and takes a slightly different design approach to its shape compared to the current Logitech Wave keyboard. The arrow keys have been shifted to the left, under the right shift key and the cluster of keys above the arrow keys on a full-size keyboard have been moved to the same row as where the function keys would normally be, in favour of the print screen, scroll lock pause keys.

The function keys get to share duty with various media keys and what not and the Wave Keys keyboard has also been designed to be Apple compatible, so the ctrl, alt and windows keys are shared with the cmd and opt keys you'd find on an Apple keyboard. What stands out the most is the integrated, soft and apparently cushioned palm rest, which not only is huge, but seems very likely to attract dirt and grime over time. The Wave Keys support both Bluetooth and Logitech's proprietary wireless connectivity and the company claims up to three years battery life. The keyboard is said to launch later this week for €99.99 in the Eurozone.

Today, Logitech G, a brand of Logitech, and Playseat introduced the newest sim racing chair, the Playseat Challenge X - Logitech G Edition. Designed for Logitech G racing wheel and pedals, this new chair is a lightweight, foldable carbon steel frame and features a fully adjustable seat with Playseat's Actifit ️ breathable materials, providing sim racers with a racing chair that delivers exceptional comfort, versatility, durability and the performance needed to stay fully immersed in the race.

"There was a considerable amount of collaboration on this product to make the Challenge X more functional, comfortable and overall, a better racing experience, than traditional desktop gaming chairs. During that process our teams focused on three key areas of a sim racing chair and we couldn't be more happy with the results." said Jim Hoey, head of simulation marketing at Logitech G.

Logitech G, a brand of Logitech and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear, today released three new products for the gaming and streaming space, the Logitech G Yeti GX microphone, Logitech G Yeti Orb microphone, and the Logitech G Litra Beam LX light. The new Yeti microphones and Litra light are designed to meet the specific needs of game streamers and content creators by using broadcast-style audio and pro-level lighting gear, and work seamlessly together via Logitech's G Hub software to enable them to deliver great content to their community.

Based on the iconic Yeti design, the Yeti GX is a premium, broadcast-style gaming microphone with dynamic capsule technology that delivers unparalleled audio performance. It features a supercardioid pickup pattern that elevates the voice while rejecting room noise, keyboard clicks and other background sounds. The Yeti GX features one handed control of mic gain by cleverly leveraging a scroll wheel from Logitech G gaming mice. Users can easily dial in the gain and, with a simple press of the wheel, apply Yeti GX's Smart Audio Lock feature to prevent clipping and reduce background distractions thanks to a powerful onboard DSP.

Ultimate Ears, a brand of Logitech, today announced the addition of EPICBOOM to its lineup of beloved portable Bluetooth speakers. Made of 100% post-consumer recycled polyester fabric and a minimum of 59% post-consumer recycled plastic, EPICBOOM showcases an all-new, innovative, oval design that makes loud, 360° bassy sound more portable, unleashing an unexpectedly big sound for its size.

"We design our products with our customers and their lifestyles in mind," said Jonah Staw, general manager of Ultimate Ears. "Customers want huge sound in a conveniently portable package and that's what we have delivered with EPICBOOM. This speaker boasts our signature Ultimate Ears high-fidelity sound while delivering plenty of volume. We're excited to add EPICBOOM to our product portfolio. This speaker will no doubt be a part of life's epic moments."

Tencent Games, the global leading video games platform, expects the market for cloud gaming and mobile devices to grow rapidly in the near future. Mobile and cloud gaming have experienced significant growth in the MENA region and Asia, and Tencent Games is strategically positioned to further bolster the burgeoning European market. In a strategic collaboration, Tencent Games has partnered with Logitech to introduce the Logitech G Cloud Handheld Console. This innovative handheld gaming device was officially launched in Europe in May 2023, marking an exciting milestone in the world of gaming. At IFA Berlin, Germany's largest consumer electronics trade show, Daniel Wu, General Manager of Tencent Games Innovation Lab says: "We are witnessing a growing preference for instant play. Handheld devices may very well emerge as the next significant gaming platform in the future. And we see great potential for cloud gaming."

Gameplay is witnessing continuous improvement. Players look for an ever more immersive gaming experience, with features such as 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution, smooth 60 Hz refresh rates, and cutting-edge Ray Tracing technology. As a result, requirements for game devices have increased significantly, and will continue to do so. Tencent Games expects that handheld devices will catch up to game development and will ultimately provide the best sound and graphics quality to player.

Today, Logitech G, a brand of Logitech and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear, introduced the two newest products in the award-winning PRO Series line, the Logitech G PRO X TKL LIGHTSPEED Gaming Keyboard and Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 Gaming Mouse. Over the past three years, Logitech G has been working with hundreds of the world's most skilled professional esports athletes to create the next generation of PRO Series gear. These new products, when combined with the Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Gaming Headset launched earlier this year, complete the PRO Series line, offering the highest level of PC performance across mice, keyboards and headsets.

"The exciting new PRO Series portfolio represents a pure and uncompromised product collection, designed for maximum performance of elite esports professionals and the most competitive gamers playing at the peak of potential," stated Brent Barry, Head of Esports and PRO Series at Logitech G. "These products exemplify our commitment to pushing the limits of performance, speed, and reliability, which is only made possible through our multi-year, collaborative design process with professional esports athletes. Our elite athlete partners help design, develop and test our products, ensuring they deliver the highest level of performance, quality and cutting-edge innovation."

It appears that Logitech is getting ready to launch its first revision of the G Pro Superlight which simply gets a 2 in the model name to differentiate it from the current model. The G Pro X Superlight 2 is getting a new Hero 2 sensor that is said to feature a 32,000 DPI sensor, suggesting it might be capable of tracking at over 500 inches per second (IPS) with 40 G worth of acceleration. The USB report rate has also doubled from 1 kHz to 2 kHz, which at least in theory, means reduced input lag.

According to Winfuture who leaked the G Pro X Superlight 2, it will also get up to 95 hours battery life, a 25 hour improvement over the current model. Logitech is also said to have shaved off a further 3 grams of weight, although the G Pro X Superlight 2 is by no means the lightest competitive gaming mouse around. Another and most likely more appreciated feature improvement that the weight reduction, is a move to USB-C for charging, something Logitech has been slow at adopting compared to many of its competitors. The biggest downside of the new model seems to be the expected MSRP, which according to Winfuture will be somewhere between €160-170, with the current model going for €139 in Europe.

Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI) today announced financial results for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2024. "While the markets are still challenging, I am proud of the team's achievements during our first quarter," said Guy Gecht, Logitech interim chief executive officer. "Our high-caliber seasoned team, design-led engineering and strong execution truly sets us apart. Our latest innovations and elevated outlook are just a glimpse of Logitech's full potential as we execute our strategic vision."

"This solid first quarter highlights steady progress on many important metrics," said Charles Boynton, Logitech chief financial officer. "We delivered another quarter of reduced inventory and operating expenses while continuing to drive strong cash generation, further fortifying our balance sheet. With one quarter completed, we are pleased to provide a full-year and updated first-half outlook."

Earlier today Logitech International was invited and honored to participate in the US National Label for Consumer IoT Security launch at the White House in Washington DC. The event, sponsored by the National Security Council, was led by chairwoman of the FCC, Jessica Rosenworcel, and included members of both organizations, as well as other leading tech companies focused on and making strides in product security for consumers.

Logitech is an active contributor in industry efforts to integrate security into the core standards that its products use. Through its participation in the Product Security Working Group (PSWG) and Matter Working Group within the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), the company continues to work with others in the industry to write and certify the standards by which next generation products will operate.

Logitech International today announced that it has acquired Loupedeck, a Helsinki-based creator of custom consoles and software designed to make the creative process faster and more intuitive for streamers, creators and gamers. "Empowering streamers, creators and gamers is a joint passion of Loupedeck and Logitech. Together we are focused on removing all barriers so they can create, edit and stream without limits," said Ujesh Desai, general manager of Logitech G. "This acquisition augments Logitech's product portfolio today and accelerates our software ambitions of enabling keyboards, mice and more to become smarter and contextually aware, creating a better experience for audiences across Logitech."

The addition of Loupedeck further enhances Logitech's ability to deliver a premium experience and content creation applications for all types of creators, including gamers, livestreamers and other creative professionals. Logitech and Loupedeck will be in the position to provide a more seamless experience for creators from onboarding to everyday use with presets available out of the box and tighter coupling between the Loupedeck devices and the Streamlabs popular suite of applications and services.

Logitech International announced today that Bracken Darrell, president and chief executive officer (CEO), will be departing the Company to pursue another opportunity. Darrell's resignation as president, CEO, and as a member of Logitech's board of directors is effective today, but he will remain with the company over the coming month to ensure a seamless transition. In line with the board's established succession planning process, board member Guy Gecht will step into the role of interim CEO while a global search of internal and external candidates is conducted.

"As an experienced CEO, and member of Logitech's board since 2019, Guy has a deep understanding of Logitech and its strategy, and is well-placed as interim CEO to oversee the continued execution of the company's strategy," said Wendy Becker, Logitech's chairperson of the board. "We thank Bracken for his leadership during an exciting era of transformation at Logitech. Over his ten years as CEO, Bracken oversaw a period of consistent growth and helped to transform Logitech into an award-winning design company known for its unparalleled product innovation. We wish him well in the future and look forward to identifying his successor."

Logitech has announced the merging of its microphone and audio equipment brands - their G Gaming Twitter account posted about this decision yesterday, and directed customers to a question and answer session on the official subreddit: "Where do you get support? How will ASTRO, Blue and LFC integrate into Logitech G? Will there be new ASTRO products? Get your questions answered with our official FAQ." A brand manager has since confirmed (via a fan query) that the Blue brand is getting nixxed: "We will be keeping the Yeti brand and moving it under Logitech G. The Blue name will be used to describe our technologies." Logitech spent a cool $177 million when it acquired Blue Microphones back in mid-2018, so it is odd that the company has chosen to drop a very recognizable and popular brand name in the worlds of podcasting, streaming and audio recording.

News outlets have discovered that Blue has been removed from the brands section of Logitech's website, and the Bluemic.com domain now directs back to the parent company's main online presence(s). The Logitech G sub-page has been updated with listings of Yeti, Snowball and other microphone models. A brand manager also outlined ASTRO's future: "(it will) continue to live on as a premium console audio product series underneath the Logitech G brand. Stay tuned for more information regarding ASTRO including a launch that we think our community will be very excited about...We're (also) very excited about ASTRO as a product series under Logitech G."
