Logitech makes genuinely useful peripherals and audio kit—not all of it is worth the money, but their best products punch above their price point. The G Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard and Wonderboom 2 speaker are the standouts here; the G213 is decent entry-level kit, but you'll get better value elsewhere if gaming isn't your priority.
Why Logitech?
Logitech has been making input devices and peripherals since 1981, and they've built a credible reputation in gaming (under the "G" sub-brand) and portable audio (Ultimate Ears). They don't chase trends aggressively—their products tend toward reliable, incremental improvements rather than flashy innovation. For gaming keyboards specifically, Logitech competes directly with Corsair and SteelSeries, and they're consistently cheaper while maintaining quality build standards. Their Ultimate Ears speakers are genuinely popular for outdoor and travel use because they're tough and hold a charge well.
Top Picks
G Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard — £99.99
Best for competitive gamers who want tournament-grade responsiveness without spending £200+. The GX switches are crisp and fast, the frame is lightweight aluminium, and the keycap profile is low enough for high APM games. This is the keyboard esports teams actually recommend—not a lifestyle purchase.
Logitech Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker — £99.99
Best for travel and outdoor use where durability matters more than sound stage. IP67 waterproof rating (survives submersion for 30 minutes), 13-hour battery life, and a tight bass response for its size. You're not getting audiophile sound, but you get portability without compromise.
Logitech G213 Prodigy RGB Gaming Keyboard — £59.99
Best for casual gamers on a tight budget who want RGB lighting and basic mechanical feel. The Mech-Dome switches are a hybrid between membrane and mechanical—softer than true mechanical but faster than rubber dome. Good entry point if you're undecided about gaming keyboards, but don't expect the responsiveness of the G Pro.

What to Look For
-
Switch type and actuation weight: Mechanical gaming keyboards need 80g+ actuation force for responsive gameplay. The G Pro's 83g GX switches are industry standard. Lighter switches (60-70g) are better for typing. The G213's hybrid approach sits between both worlds but excels at neither.
-
Build material: Aluminium frames are lighter and more rigid than plastic. The G Pro's aluminium chassis is why esports teams prefer it; the G213 uses plastic, which is fine but adds weight and flexes more.
-
Portability specs: If you're buying a portable speaker, battery life and waterproof rating matter more than raw wattage. The Wonderboom 2's 13-hour battery and IP67 rating mean it actually survives a week's holiday without you worrying about it.
-
RGB and customisation: Logitech's software (G Hub) lets you map macros and adjust RGB profiles, but this only matters if you're into competitive games or streaming. If you just want a reliable keyboard for work and casual gaming, ignore RGB entirely.
The Bottom Line
Buy the G Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (£99.99) if you play competitive shooters or MOBAs—it's the only keyboard here that genuinely improves your game. The Wonderboom 2 (£99.99) is the smartest all-rounder: it survives neglect, sounds decent, and lasts a fortnight on battery. Skip the G213 unless you need RGB on a shoestring budget; a basic mechanical keyboard from Keychron or Nuphy offers better value at the same price point.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Logitech good value for money?
For gaming peripherals, yes—their G Pro keyboard competes with £150+ competitors at £99.99 and actually wins on switch quality. Their speakers are fairly priced for durability (the Wonderboom 2's IP67 rating justifies its cost), but you're paying a premium for the brand name.
What's the difference between the G Pro and G213 keyboards?
The G Pro uses true mechanical GX switches with 83g actuation; the G213 uses hybrid Mech-Dome switches that feel softer. The G Pro has an aluminium frame and weighs less, making it faster and more rigid. If you play competitive games, the G Pro is worth the extra £40. For typing or casual gaming, the difference barely matters.
Are Logitech keyboards good for typing?
Their gaming keyboards are built for speed, not ergonomics. The low keycap profile and heavy switch actuation tire your fingers on an 8-hour workday. If you type more than you game, look elsewhere—Keychron or Leopold make better typing boards at similar prices.
How long does the Wonderboom 2 battery actually last?
Logitech claims 13 hours of continuous playback. In real use (moderate volume, interrupted playback) it gets closer to 10-11 hours before dropping below usable battery. That's still a week's worth of casual listening or a solid holiday speaker.
