Microsoft To Buy Logitech

Here’s a hot rumor. According to Reuters, shares for Logitech rose by 12% today on the rumor that Microsoft is looking to buy the company. The rumored $6 billion takeover deal would be Microsoft’s largest acquisition.

Though to the relief of gamers everywhere, Logitech board member (and largest shareholder) Daniel Borel said he had no reason to sell his 6% stake in the company. If the deal did go through, it would make the worlds largest software company the largest mouse maker.

I really cannot see Microsoft doing this. Sure, it’d be a great deal for them, but I think antitrust lawyers everywhere would have a fit with the idea. Besides, Microsoft has been partnering with Razer for several PC peripheral. It’d probably be far cheaper to by Razer. Granted, Razer doesn’t have the number of gizmos that Logitech has.

The best gaming mouse: Logitech G5 vs. Razer Copperhead

I’ve always been a huge fan of the Razer mice. From the boomslang to the Copperhead, I think they’ve always created some amazing products. I’ll give credit to Logitech as well, they’ve made some amazing products over the years.

Anyway, I thought I’d share a review done by TechSpot which compared the Logitech G5 and Razer Copperhead mice. In the end, the Razer slashed the competition.

More Stuff From Razer Coming

This is something you probably aren’t going to see on any news or review site anytime soon. :) Last week, I posted about a few upcoming product that we can expect to see from Razer soon.

RazerGuy has replied to the RazerBlog answering a few questions, one of which was put forth by myself.

So, what do we get to look forward to? Expect to see Razer Keyboard, a Razer Headset, and green and red versions of the Copperhead mouse in the future.

Also the Copperhead should hit Best Buy, Fry’s, Microcenter, and other retail stores later this week.
