If you haven’t noticed, PC gamers are on at all time high, with Steam having so many different categories to choose and having such huge sales, we can see why so many people are turning to PC. This, of course, means more people will be buying, or building their own PC’s – which can cost you a pretty penny. Many who are looking to buy or build also look for the accessories to go with their new PC. Now just think about it, you just spent $800 on a PC, now you need a headset, a good gaming mouse, and keyboard, but you just can’t afford to pay over $100 for each accessory. You want to have the quality that the hardcore gamers have, but can’t afford the hardcore gamer price. Well, now you can.
Logitech has been working on a new motto “Play More” this is part of the Prodigy series allowing any gamer to have access to the same products that the “hardcore gamer” has but at a lower price. With Logitech lowering the price to $69.99 each for their new series which includes, headset, keyboard, and mouse, will the company be able to give casual players the same quality and experience as the more advanced players?
