Logitech has been held in high regard by the gaming community for years now. From their first mouse release in 1982, they’ve continued to be at the forefront of gaming peripherals, with their mice gaining special acclaim. Their G Series of wireless keyboards and mice in particular have been very well-received in terms of performance, build quality, and overall design.
Unsurprisingly, this success has led to Logitech offering a broad range of gaming products to cater to users of all needs, preferences, and budgets. So, let’s have a look at the best Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combos, to help you figure out which ones are the right fit for you. We’ll also go over what you’ll need to keep in mind when looking for a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo.
Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse: What to look for
Given that Logitech stuff can be fairly pricy, it’s important to pay some attention to the considerations that must be made. There are a few things to go over here, and the list is different for keyboards and mice. Let’s start with the keyboard.
What to consider when buying a Logitech wireless keyboard
As with picking the best gaming keyboard, there is much to think about when you’re going for a Logitech wireless keyboard specifically. Keyboards vary hugely in size, switch type, layout, and a myriad of other characteristics so let’s have a look at them and see how they can affect your final decision.
Size/form factor
This is particularly important, depending on your desk size, intended use case, and aesthetic preferences. Broadly speaking there are three main keyboard sizes: full-size, tenkeyless or TKL, and 60%. Given that Logitech doesn’t currently produce a wireless keyboard in the 60% form factor, we can ignore that one for now.
The difference between full-size and TKL is simply the Numpad as TKL doesn’t include it. This makes sense as Numpads continue to go out of fashion as gamers and typists transition to more minimalist keyboards. Luckily, Logitech provides a TKL and a full-size variant of their venerated G915. If you’re a desk minimalist leaning more towards the G613 you are SOL, my friend, as that particular board only comes in the full-size form factor. For a touch of visual context, we’ve made an infographic to put all this talk of sizes into perspective.
Key switches
At the time of writing, Logitech only uses two different types of switches for their wireless keyboards. If you’re into a premium and textile mechanical keyboard experience you should look elsewhere as Logitech’s switches are unimpressive. Our ‘best mechanical keyboards‘ page is where you want to be. If you don’t need the best, we’ll continue and get technical about the two varieties of mechanical switches that Logitech offers.
Logitech low-profile GL switches
These are the switches you’ll be getting if you opt for the famed G915 TKL and they come in the standard three flavors we are all familiar with: Clicky, tactile, and linear, with the regular corresponding colors of blue, brown, and red. For the technically minded amongst you, here are the specs of each switch.
GL Clicky switch specs
- Style: clicky switch
- Actuation force: 60g
- Pre-travel: 1.5mm
- Total travel: 2.7mm
GL Tactile switch specs
- Style: Tactile switch
- Actuation force: 60g
- Pre-travel: 1.5mm
- Total travel: 2.7mm
GL Linear switch specs
- Style: Linear switch
- Actuation force: 50g
- Pre-travel: 1.5mm
- Total travel: 2.7mm
Being low profile, there switches to struggle a little bit when it comes to typing feel as they have only around half of the total travel distance or a regular full-height key switch. This can lead to experience fatigue more frequently as a result.
Logitech Romer-G tactile switch
This is the other switch available on Logitech’s wireless keyboards. Again, it has significantly less travel distance than a typical Cherry MX-style key switch. Additionally, it uses a non-standard mounting mechanism so you won’t be able to swap it out for anything other than another Romer-G type switch. Let’s have a look at the specs.
Romer-G switch specs
- Style: Tactile switch
- Actuation force: 50g
- Pre-travel: 1.5mm
- Total travel: 3.2mm
Battery life
When it comes to wireless logitech keyboards, battery life is key. It has to last long enough that it’s actually worth while having it be wireless. So you don’t want to be plugging it in to charge every 45 minutes. Luckily, all three of Logitech’s wireless gaming keyboards have very good battery life, with the G613 being particularly impressive. the G915 has 30 hours, the G915 TKL will last for 40 hours, and the G613 will keep trucking for up to 18 months. This is thanks to the usage of good old AA batteries, not great for the environment, but having to replace them every year and a half isn’t too bad.
What to consider when buying a Logitech wireless mouse
A good gaming mouse is probably the most important part of your PC gaming setup, especially if you’re into competitive titles like CS:GO, Apex Legends, or Valorant. These days wireless mice are almost as good as their wired counterparts due to the rapid advancement of Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless communication protocols. Aside from battery life, all the considerations are the same as wired mice.
Sensor
This is what makes or breaks any gaming mouse. Luckily, Logitech’s HERO sensors are regarded as one of the best sensors out there. It’s capable of a dizzying 25,600 DPI. Of course, very few people will actually play games at such an astronomical DPI, but it’s nice to have the headroom regardless.
Shape
This is a big one too as everyone has differently sized and proportioned hands. Additionally, there are different grip styles to consider and some mice shapes will work better with certain grip styles than others. Broadly-speaking, there are three distinct grip styles.
If you’re a palm-grip user then you may favor a more ergonomic design like the G502, fingertip grip users generally like a more lightweight ambidextrous mouse like the G Pro. Claw-grip users can usually be comfortable on any shape of mouse due to how this grip only makes contact with the heel of the hand and the fingertips, making sections of the mouse outside of these areas matter far less.
Weight
This is important as it has a significant effect on the physical characteristics of the mouse in question. FPS players will usually prefer a lightweight mouse so that their rapid reaction times and flick shots aren’t hampered. Those of you who prefer genres like MMOs will find that additional buttons are more useful than lower weight. Currently, the lightest mouse in Logitech’s lineup is the aptly-named G Pro X Superlight clocking in at a feathery 63g.
Logitech wireless keyboards: Our picks
As alluded to earlier, picking out some wireless Logitech gaming keyboards is a pretty straightforward process as there are only three, so let’s have a brief look at them now.
Logitech G915 Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Switch
Low-Profile GL Switches
Other Features
G-keys, onboard memory, LIGHTSYNC RGB
For those of you who value both a Numpad and a low-profile design, the Logitech G915 Lightspeed is the wireless keyboard for you. Logitech’s low-profile key switches aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but when it comes to wanting the balance between low-profile and fully mechanical, there aren’t a lot of boards that do it better than the G915. Additionally, it comes with a full complement of media controls, including a crispy and tactile volume knob.
Logitech G915 TKL Tenkeyless Lightspeed
Connectivity Technology
Bluetooth, USB
Mechanical Switches
GL Tactile
Programmable Macros
F-keys
Dedicated Media Control
Yes
This is our personal favorite of the bunch. It combines all the features of the G915 full-size with the ever-popular TKL form factor. It’s no surprise that this is the most popular out of the lineup as people flock en towards smaller keyboards en mass. In fact, one of the bosses here at WePC uses the G915 TKL both at work and at home and he absolutely swears by it so it’s clearly made an impression on some people.
Logitech G613 Lightspeed Wireless Mechanical
Switch
Romer-G Mechanical
Other Features
Multimedia keys, Macro keys, programmable G keys, lightspeed wireless
Low-profile keys not your bag? But still keen on a Logitech wireless keyboard? In that case, you’ll need to consider the G613. Aside from the full-size Romer-G switches, it’s also got a few more additional tricks up its proverbial switch, such as 1.5-year battery life, six additional macro keys, and the same media controls as the two boards that preceded it.
Logitech wireless mouse: Our picks
This is a little more complex as Logitech’s range of wireless gaming mice is far more comprehensive than their keyboards, but we’ve still managed to make a few choice selections for you.
Logitech G PRO X Superlight
Size (H x W x D) mm
125 x 63.5 x 40
You knew it had to be the G Pro X Superlight. It’s the lightest of the lineup, with the most powerful sensor. It’s even compatible with the POWERPLAY wireless charging ecosystem meaning it has functionally infinite battery life, though this is only the case if you spring the extra $100+ on the mousepad itself. Additionally, as of recently, you can get the G Pro X Superlight in white, black, or pink. So unless you have a very specific color scheme for your gaming setup, it’ll fit in very nicely. If you’re curious about its lineage, you can read our full Logitech G Pro Wireless mouse review for a little bit more info about how Logitech got to this point.
Logitech G502 Lightspeed wireless gaming mouse
Connectivity
2.4Ghz, Micro USB
Battery life
Up to 60 hours (without lighting)
This is the best bet if you’re a fan of ergonomic mice, with a broad thumb rest and an asymmetrical design that is ideal for palm grip users the G502 Lightspeed is a comprehensive package. Additionally, it boasts an infinity scroll, meaning that you can unlock the scroll wheel to spin totally freely for rapid navigation of web pages and word documents. Aside from this, it features the same great HERO sensor and POWERPLAY functionality as the rest of Logitech’s flagship gaming mice.
Logitech G305
Size
Small (116 x 52 x 38 mm)
Not bothered about POWERPLAY or lightspeed wireless? Then this is the mouse for you. It features a similarly ambidextrous symmetrical design to the G Pro X Superlight, but it’s less than half the price and with a frankly sickening 250-hour battery life. If you’re looking for the best value-for-money Logitech wireless mouse, look no further than the G305.
Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse: Final word
Logitech has reliably produced good-quality gaming peripherals for years, and their wireless mice and keyboards are no exception. While they’d do well to expand their wireless gaming keyboard range, their mice are nigh on unbeatable and are backed by several esports athletes, such as CS:GO’s s1mple and Valorant’s TenZ. With endorsements like that, its difficult to argue.
