Practice with the Logitech G Cloud Portable Gaming Device – Engadget

Due to the outbreak, the WirForce E-Sports Carnival, which has not been held for two years, returns to Huabo Park with the theme “World Restart” again this year and still focuses on large-scale e-sports competition. BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer). Although the seating range has been increased for outbreak prevention, up to 800 seats are still prepared for players to play. Seeing this opportunity, many esports peripheral and equipment companies have also set up stalls at the headquarters of WirForce and, among them, Logitech has launched a Taiwanese brand that has not yet been listed. G Cloud portable gaming device,And G Pro racing wheelthen the editor will naturally come to play it.

Machines prepared by Logitech on-site don’t have a lot of content and services that can be experienced, especially games that can’t be installed on the local side, so the hands-on game here will rely on the first impression of the hardware and the user experience will download only after the official assessment Conclusion. After all, Logitech is indeed a major hardware peripheral manufacturer, and the G Cloud’s size, weight, and texture are pretty accurate. From first impression, the G Cloud is a bit larger than I initially imagined, with a 7-inch screen, a 1080p IPS touch panel, and space for left and right buttons and grips.

Since the G Cloud has a wide grip, it’s quite comfortable in the hand and you won’t know where to put your fingers like the Switch. The weight of the G Cloud is only 463g, which won’t carry too much weight, but it won’t feel light, it’s a very manageable weight. The overall material is hard plastic, but the bottom has a further roughening treatment, and the grip part has been added with twill, which can effectively improve the grip stability.

The configuration of the buttons on the G Cloud is the same as on the Xbox controller: there are two joysticks on the top left and bottom right; The keys are quite crisp to the touch and the two joysticks, although slightly smaller than those on the controller, are fully usable. There are two shoulder buttons and two analog trigger buttons on the front.These four buttons are much smaller than the overall handle, specifically the two shoulder buttons at the top, but they won’t be pressed by mistake.

There are volume controls, switches and a MicroSD expansion card slot on the front to expand the G Cloud’s built-in 64GB of storage; on the back are a USB-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack and two speaker openings.

Playing Far Cry 6 on a GeForce Now connection was smooth in our short demo, with no noticeable delays. The only thing that can be considered a disadvantage is that small fonts on the screen will still be a bit blurry, but that’s not noticeable at general usage distance. As for other interfaces and other methods of use, besides electricity, etc., we will have to wait for the evaluation to respond.

As for when it will be listed and the price, Logitech only said “stay tuned”. But considering they’ve already shown the WirForce headquarters, they said there should be a plan to go public in Taiwan. When will it be launched? It should only be a matter of time, right?

In addition to the G Cloud, Logitech also unveiled its G Pro racing wheel. This is another evolution of the Logitech racing wheel series for professional simulation enthusiasts. Thanks to the “direct drive” structure where the motor is connected to the steering wheel , the motor can send a force of up to 11nM to your hand, so it can really do every turn. It is also worth mentioning that the G Pro racing pedals correspond to the G Pro racing steering wheel, where the brake is changed to a dynamometer, which means that the braking force depends on the force with which you pedal, not the distance in which the pedal is pressed. This small modification has greatly improved the fidelity of the race car.

WirForce is open from today until 6 (Sunday). If you go to the WirForce headquarters, don’t forget to stop by the stand outside!
