Logitech is running a 10 percent off sale on its site through August 17th, extending some solid deals to a wide range of its G Gaming PC and console peripherals (with other retailers matching or beating Logitech’s pricing). Some notable deals include the G Pro X Superlight 2 gaming mouse and Astro A50 X headset. The former is down to $134.99 ($25 off) in white at Amazon and $139.99 at Best Buy (or $143.99 in all three colors from Logitech), while the latter is discounted to $341.99 ($38 off) at Best Buy, Amazon, and Logitech’s online storefront.
While we’ve seen the black version of the Superlight 2 fall a little lower in the past, it doesn’t go on sale very frequently, unlike previous generations. Part of what makes the G Pro X Superlight 2 so good is the way it balances its gaming chops with everyday good looks. It features a new Hero 2 sensor that offers up to 32,000 DPI and weighs just 60 grams, so it’s capable enough for tournament-level play without looking out of place even in a professional work environment (or if you’re just not the type for the flashiest looks on your desk). I’d say it’s closer to a “forever mouse” than whatever Logitech’s own CEO was talking about during her recent interview on Decoder.
As for the Astro headset, this is one of the few times it’s been discounted from its $380 price point since it launched at the end of 2023. The A50 X is a bit pricey for a gaming headset, but if you frequently game on different platforms, it has a unique docking station that allows it to act as a central hub for all your systems. By routing your consoles through its HDMI passthrough ports, you can take up one less HDMI 2.1 port on your monitor or TV and switch between your consoles or PC with a tap of a button on the headset. The earcups are also incredibly comfy for long play sessions, with some great audio coming through the 40mm drivers.
