Logitech launches Pro Racing wheel with configurable pedals and A30 headset – Gaming – News

Logitech is releasing a number of new accessories for gamers, including a direct drive racing wheel and pedal board for PC and console. The company also includes a new gaming headset, earphones and a microphone.

The products come from Logitech G, the gaming arm of the accessories manufacturer. The company releases a direct drive steering wheel with accompanying pedals for use in racing games. The Pro Racing Wheel and Pro Racing Pedals feature Trueforce technology for more authentic feedback. The pedals use a magnetic system that can better detect pressure and can be configured as a double clutch or as a pedal that can be used as a parking brake. The pedals can be moved horizontally to allow users to find the optimal setup for themselves. Other pedal components can also be adjusted; for example, users can adjust the pressure applied to the three pedals by replacing the coil springs.

The steering wheel has A, B, X and Y buttons and a number of other buttons that can be accessed with a single flick of the thumb. Players can set up five different profiles and attach the wheel to their desk or table.

The steering wheel and pedals are on sale this month for 1099 and 349 euros respectively. The wheel is available in one configuration for PC and for PS4 and PS5, and a second configuration for PC and Xbox Series X and S and One. The pedals are compatible with Windows PCs via a USB port and can also be used on consoles when paired with the handlebars.

Logitech is also releasing new headphones. The headset is the G Astro A30, a wireless headset with a detachable microphone stand. The A30 has a 40mm audio driver and supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless connections beyond 15 meters, and also has a 3.5mm jack. With an accompanying app, users can set up different sound profiles, for example for playing games or listening to music. The A30 has ear cushions and a headband with memory foam.

According to the manufacturer, the headset has a battery life of 27 hours. It charges via a USB-C connection. An adapter that allows headphones to support Logitech’s proprietary Lightspeed connection protocol can also be connected via that connection.

In addition to the new headphones, Logitech also carries the Fits G series earphones. These are white or black earphones with Bluetooth-LE with a frequency range of up to 20KHz and a 10mm audio driver. The caps weigh 7.2 grams each and measure 35×22.8×24.5 mm. Via Bluetooth, the earphones have 10 hours of listening and 6.5 hours of talk time. They can be loaded in a box with a USB-C connection.
