Garmin Forerunner 965, 265: Price, availability in the Philippines
In line with Garmin’s 20th-year celebration of the Forerunner series
It’s been two decades since Garmin unveiled the world’s first GPS smartwatch. Since then, Garmin’s Forerunner series has been a staple to the running community; an essential for beginners, intermediate, and even elite runners.
In line with this momentous celebration, Garmin debuts the most powerful Forerunner smartwatches yet — the Forerunner 965 and Forerunner 265.
Forerunner 965 series
The Forerunner 965 is Garmin’s newest, premium running watch in its roster. It’s equipped with a titanium bezel, a 1.4-inch AMOLED display, and a battery life of up to 23 days.
It’s currently a record-holder for having the world’s longest battery life on a running watch with an AMOLED display.
It comes with unique features such as Stamina and Acute Chronic Workload Ration, allowing users to track and manage their physical exertion throughout a run. The feature aims to prevent ‘bonking’ by overexerting too early in a run.
The Garmin Forerunner 965 is designed for marathon and triathlon enthusiasts, particularly those who benefit from features like the Wrist-Based Running Dynamic where users can access detailed metrics such as stride length and vertical oscillation.
It retails at PhP 37,660 and will be available in the Philippines starting April 2023
Forerunner 265 series
The Garmin Forerunner 265 series comes with a Gorilla Glass 4 lens with two options for users to choose from. Pick between the 1.3-inch AMOLED display with a battery life of up to 13 days or a 1.1-inch AMOLED display (on the Forerunner 265s) with a battery life of up to 15 days.
Like other Forerunner smartwatches, the Forerunner 265 has performance monitoring tools from Garmin Firstbeast Analytics such as VO2 max, performance condition, training effect, and more.
The Garmin Forerunner 265 retails at PhP 28,250.
he Forerunner 965 retails for Php 37,660.00 while Forerunner 265 is at Php 28,250.00. For more information about Garmin Philippines, visit their website or Facebook page.

Razer sharpens its competitive edge with Viper V4 Pro and Gigantus V2 Pro
Ultra-light. Ultra-tuned.
Razer expands its pro-grade lineup with a lightweight mouse and a highly customizable mouse mat built for different playstyles. The Razer Viper V4 Pro focuses on speed, precision, and responsiveness, while the Razer Gigantus V2 Pro brings tailored surface options that adapt to how players move.
Lighter, faster, and built for control
The Viper V4 Pro weighs approximately 49g in Black and 50g in White, making it around nine percent lighter than its predecessor. Razer achieves this through mechanical refinements like a thinner shell and a more compact PCB, without compromising durability. The structure still feels solid in hand, even with the aggressive weight reduction.
This balance matters in competitive play. A lighter mouse reduces fatigue and allows quicker adjustments, but stability keeps movements consistent. The Viper V4 Pro aims to deliver both.
Plug in, tweak, and play instantly
Razer also streamlines setup and tuning. The optimized hemispherical dongle maintains stable connectivity while providing quick status updates through LED indicators.
Players can adjust settings without installing software using Razer Synapse Web, enabling browser-based customization. Onboard controls allow quick DPI and polling rate changes mid-match, so adjustments happen without breaking focus.
A mouse mat that adapts to your play style
The Gigantus V2 Pro evolves Razer’s mouse mat lineup by introducing five distinct speed ratings paired with corresponding foam firmness. Instead of a one-size-fits-all surface, players can now choose based on how they aim and move.
Developed with esports pros like Nikola “NiKo” Kovač, Faker, and Zellsis, each variant reflects real competitive needs across different roles and playstyles.
The five surface options include:
- Max Control for ultra-high friction and precise flicks
- Control for consistent micro-adjustments
- Balance for a mix of speed and stopping power
- Speed for quicker swipes
- Max Speed for the fastest possible movements
Each surface is paired with Razer’s GlideCore foam, tuned to match the friction profile. Softer variants provide more stopping power, while firmer ones prioritize speed and responsiveness.
Built for consistency across every match
Razer ensures the Gigantus V2 Pro works seamlessly with modern optical sensors. Lab testing guarantees consistent tracking, whether for fine adjustments or wide flicks.
The mat is also designed for competitive environments. It features stitched edges to prevent fraying, an anti-slip base for stability, and a rollable build that makes it easy to bring to tournaments.
A complete competitive setup
Together, the Viper V4 Pro and Gigantus V2 Pro form a cohesive setup that covers both input and surface. The mouse emphasizes low latency, precision tracking, and a shape validated by pros. The mouse mat complements it with clear, playstyle-based options.
Rather than focusing on a single standout feature, Razer builds a system. One that supports consistent performance, adapts to player preference, and helps turn practice into results when it matters most.

Logitech G debuts PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE with faster click tech
Faster clicks, deeper control
Logitech G is pushing competitive gaming performance further with the launch of the PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE. It’s a next-generation wireless mouse built around a new click system designed for speed and control.
At the center of the PRO X2 is its patent-pending SUPERSTRIKE technology. It reduces the travel distance needed to register a click, cutting latency by up to 30 milliseconds based on internal testing. The result is faster inputs that can make a difference in high-stakes, split-second moments.
The mouse also introduces the Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS), replacing traditional mechanical microswitches. Instead of relying on physical contact, it delivers tactile feedback the moment a click signal is sent, helping players feel each input in real time.
Customizable clicks for competitive play
Developed with esports teams like G2 Esports, NAVI, and BLG, the PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE focuses on precision and consistency. It supports 10 selectable actuation levels, allowing users to fine-tune how deep a click needs to be before it registers.
These adjustments can be made through Logitech G HUB, giving players the flexibility to match their setup to different games, roles, or playstyles without interrupting gameplay.
The mouse also uses Logitech’s LIGHTSPEED wireless technology with up to an 8kHz polling rate. This ensures fast and stable performance without the limitations of a wired connection.
Precision tracking and lightweight build
Powering the PRO X2 is Logitech’s HERO 2 sensor. It supports up to 44,000 DPI, 888 IPS tracking speed, and over 88G acceleration. Logitech says tracking remains free of smoothing, acceleration, or filtering, allowing for more consistent and direct input.
Despite its performance-focused internals, the mouse keeps a lightweight build at 61 grams. Logitech says this supports faster movements and reduces fatigue during long sessions.
Battery life is rated at up to 90 hours on a single charge, letting players stay in the game longer without interruptions.
Price and availability
The Logitech G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE is priced at PhP 11,945. It is available in the Philippines via Shopee and authorized Logitech retailers.
