The G PRO X flaunts a new software called Blue VO!CE for which the company claims to have borrowed some wisdom from Blue Microphones.
Get it for: Rs 13,995
Highlight: Good audio, mic clarity

Accessories brand Logitech has introduced a new headset for serious gamers dubbed as PRO X in its G series. The company claims to have collaborated with top gamers to provide the right fit for those who spend long hours to perfect their skill.


Gaming headsets come in different price ranges and mostly of them claim to offer accurate audio syncing. However, the G PRO X has a better microphone, comfortable design, and a pre-tuned equaliser ready for action. For newbies, it would be difficult to understand the minute differences, but if you are someone used to a couple of gaming headsets, you will immediately feel the difference.

For the money you are spending, the G PRO X does live up to its promise but there are better and more expensive headsets in the market. Having said that the headphones can give a tough fight to headsets from SteelSeries and ROG in this price range.

The G PRO X flaunts a new software called Blue VO!CE for which the company claims to have borrowed some wisdom from Blue Microphones. So what does this technology do? The software improves clarity of voice and also allows users to tune it as per their needs. Better mic clarity equals better pro gaming.

The G PRO X ranks high on build quality and comfort and Logitech has managed to provide a premium polish to it. But if you compare the design to other headsets, this one is too plain vanilla, especially in front of the ROG series.

However, their structure is sturdy and is made of aluminium and steel along with leather-wrapped headband while the earpads are made of soft memory foam. The pressure of the earpads are not too hard on the ears.

This DTS 2.0 surround headset features PRO-G 50 mm precision drivers with pre-tuned equalizer settings available on the G HUB software suite. The headphones come with the regular detachable mic and PC cable with inline audio controls along with an external USB sound card.

On paper, the G PRO X might sound like a killer deal but you really can’t afford to forget the Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum 7.1 headset.

At a revised price of around Rs 16,999, the G933 Artemis is one of the best headsets Logitech has to offer. However, if you want a pre-tuned ready-to-play headset and is okay with wires, then the G PRO X feels slightly more evolved.

Only when you get a good laptop stand will you realize the difference it makes in terms of ergonomics. Trouble is, laptop stands are large and heavy — you don’t really want to add that weight to your existing laptop, especially if you move around a lot. MOFT is the world’s first invisible laptop stand that sticks to your laptop without adding much bulk. It’s made using polyurethane and fiberglass — you shouldn’t notice the 3mm thickness and 65 gram weight at all. It can be adjusted to raise the laptop up by 2 to 3.2-inches. MOFT works with laptops with up to 15.6-inch screens and uses removable glue to attach/detach without leaving residue. You can get it in four colours: gold, rose gold, silver & grey. At the time of writing, it has already been 22535% funded on Indiegogo. You can get your order in for US$ 19 with delivery in April 2019.

If you want a 100-inch or larger screen using a projector, you would need one of those heavy, bulky devices that consume a lot of power. The Piqo pocket projector changes this notion by projecting a 240-inch screen from a 2-inch size cube that weighs only 210 grams! It has full HD resolution, 200 lumens brightness (most pocket projectors only do 100 Lumens) and even has automatic keystone adjustment so that you get the best possible picture. It has HDMI input, 3.5mm audio out, a microSD card slot, USB port for media playback, plus WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. There are touch controls on top, built in speakers, a quad core processor, 16GB internal storage and a 5-hour battery life. Moreover, the projector is Android powered — you can install apps from Google Play Store and watch content without connecting any device. At the moment, the projector is available for an early bird price of US$ 349 on Indiegogo (Rs 25,000 approx.) with delivery expected in May 2019.

With mobile gaming on an all-time high (thanks to games like PUBG), there is a lot of interest in smartphone gaming accessories. There are gaming docks and controllers available, but nothing looks quite like the Muja gaming pad. It sticks to the back of your phone using suction cups, connects over Bluetooth and is compatible with iOS and Android. This design ensures that the phone does not overheat. The touchpad is divided into four zones which can be customized for any controls. You get front as well as rear controls which is handy for FPS games. Muja has a built-in 450mAh battery which should last about 56 hours of gameplay on a single charge. The company behind the gamepad, HandScape Inc, will be offering it at a 50% discount compared to standard retail price when it goes live for funding in February 2019 on Indiegogo.
