Logitech Crayon and Rugged Combo 2 suit the new iPad for classrooms

An iPad stylus cheaper than the Apple Pencil and a tough case

Along with the new, cheaper iPad is a couple of official accessories from Logitech. Both accessories are designed for school, which is also mainly what the new iPad is for.

First up is the Logitech Crayon — the first third-party stylus for the iPad that has roughly the same features as the Apple Pencil. This means that the Crayon (what a nice name to call a stylus made for students) will work just as well as the Pencil. It has a rugged design which should be able to withstand heavy usage by kids in classrooms. It also has an 8-hour battery life that is practically a full day of use and charges via Lightning port.

Another great feat of the Crayon is its price: just US$ 50. You essentially get the same features of the Pencil (except for pressure sensitivity) for half the price.

On the other hand, the Logitech Rugged Combo 2 is a case designed to keep the iPad protected from bumps, scratches, and drops up to 4 feet high. It basically makes your tablet tough at the cost of thickness and weight. It has a built-in kickstand that can position the tablet at various angles and a holder for a stylus.

The case comes with a detachable keyboard with pry-resistant keys and attaches via a proprietary connection to the case. It features shortcut buttons for volume, brightness, media playback, camera, dictation, Spotlight, Home, and Power. It’s also spill-resistant and silent to type on.

The Rugged Combo 2 is priced at US$ 100.

Both Logitech accessories will be available for purchase by schools in the US this summer. Unfortunately, these accessories are specifically designed to sell to the education market and will not be available in retail stores — for now.

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT

Compatible with most keyboards and mice

Published

on

Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.

Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.

Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.

While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

G Pro X 60

Logitech has unveiled its newest heavy-duty gaming keyboard: The Logitech G Pro X 60 Lightspeed gaming keyboard. The latest G Pro series addition is engineered in collaboration with top esports athletes, and promises exceptional performance and precision specifically for gaming.

The gaming keyboard is available in White, Black, and Magenta and retails for PhP 10,955. Customers may also choose between two GX Optical Switches configurations: tactile and linear. These upgraded switches boast faster and more precise actuation, as well as increased durability. The G Pro X 60 has a distinct design, with the keys quite elevated from the keyboard base.

As the model name suggests, the new offering is also the first Logitech product to boast of a 60% keyboard form factor. This portable keyboard allows users to have more space for dynamic mouse movements compared to full-sized keyboards.

The innovative Keycontrol feature, meanwhile, lets users assign up to 15 various shortcuts and combinations per key. Gamers will benefit from being able to tailor the keys specifically to their needs by customizing the keyboard keys with commonly used commands and audio and lighting effects.

The gaming keyboard also comes with Lightsync RGB. Users may choose from about 16.8 million colors and customize each key’s individual color. Connectivity-wise, users may use the keyboard via Bluetooth, USB, and 2:1 pairing with a PRO gaming mouse.
