Update (1/11 2:00pm): With the release of tvOS 9.2, Apple has officially added support for Bluetooth Keyboards on Apple TV. You’ll find our top-picks below.
The new Apple TV is now available for pre-orders with the first units set to ship on Friday. Apple has introduced a number of features to its new streaming device, including an App Store, a fresh remote with Siri built-in, universal search and support for MFi gaming controllers. However, the fourth generation Apple TV is pretty light on included accessories. It doesn’t even come with an HDMI cable.
Head below for all the must-have controllers, add-ons and accessories to take full advantage of Apple’s latest release.
While Apple continues to develop its HomeKit platform, Logitech has slowly collected support from some of the biggest names in the smart home world. After all, what’s better than unlocking the front door with your remote?

Nothing completes a gaming experience like a solid pair of headphones. Sure soundbars and 5.1-channel systems improve the audio from your television but a good pair of on-ear cans really brings games to life. Today, Logitech has announced the G633 and G933 Artemis Wireless Gaming Headsets that feature all the bells and whistles a gamer can hope for.

This voucher will deliver some nice discounts on Logitech accessories for your Mac, PC or entertainment center and more. We recommend taking a look at the MX Master mouse, which drops to $79.99 shipped after the promo code is applied. That’s 20% off the regular price/Amazon, $7 less than our previous mention and lowest we’ve seen it go for.
A number of us at gadgetnewsonline use this mouse, it has a great ergonomic design and customizable buttons for easy access to apps, expose and other features. Amazon customers rate this product 3.9/5 stars.
One of the struggles of working away from an office or desk is finding a suitable option for a mouse. There are plenty of wireless solutions out there but they often struggle to meet the needs of professionals for a variety of reasons.
Today, Logitech has announced a new portable wireless mouse that takes its design cues from the popular Master MX. Head below for full details on the new Logitech MX Anywhere 2 Wireless Mouse.
It has a rechargeable battery that can run for up to 10 hours and a 50-foot Bluetooth range. Using the Mini Boom app you can sync up two of them for an even bigger sound. It has a 4.4/5 star rating from over 1,000 Amazon customers.
It features 360 degree audio, a water and stain proof exterior, 15 hours of playback, 50-foot Bluetooth range, and can also be linked up with a second speaker. This model sits with a 4.6/5 star rating from nearly 2,000 Amazon customers.
One of the best deals we found using this promo is the Logitech UE Megaboom for $209.99 (Reg. $300). For some reason the checkout page shows free shipping, but then $5.99 is tacked on at the end. Even with a $6 shipping charge, today’s deal is by far the lowest price we’ve seen on this speaker that was only released a few months back. Here’s a clip from our review to help you get acquainted with it:
But if you want the banging-est sound you can find from a portable Bluetooth speaker, your search is over. I’ve secretly been reviewing a unit since last year and it is all true. The sound fills up a room, day at the beach, picnic, bikeride or destroys a car. It even works as a nice desk speaker.
Other standout deals using this coupon code include:
*note 1: flat rate shipping appears to be $5.99 across the board – order multiple items to save
*note 2: code only works on select accessories

Amazon offers the Logitech K480 Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard and iPad/iPhone stand for $40.49 shipped. It regularly sells for $50, but we’ve seen it drop to $40 before and even $30 once, but that sale required pickup at an Office Depot store and sold out within hours. Since then, there haven’t been any deals to speak…
Logitech is introducing its next generation Daedalus Apex gaming mouse this week. The new G303 is a higher spec version than its predecessor and is apparently the direct product of gamer feedback with a new focus on both e-sports gamers and enthusiasts alike.
Head below for more details and an introductory video on what the new G303 can do:
Best Buy is taking up to 60% off thousands of clearance, open-box, and pre-owned items until January 17th. As you can imagine, there are tons of poor products and less than stellar deals in the bunch. So we took the time to carefully comb through all relevant product categories and pluck out the ones that are deserving of your attention (and money!).
All of our picks are currently available for shipping. Orders of $35+ ship free, otherwise opt for in-store pickup to sidestep shipping fees.
The K480 will become the centerpiece of your gadget world. Use the Easy Switch dial to quickly cycle between three different Bluetooth devices (iPad, iPhone, Mac?). The keyboard also doubles as a stand for your iPhone, iPad and other mobile gadgets. Rated 4.3 out of 5 stars from over 100 Amazon reviewers.
Logitech is the go-to brand for most gamers when it comes to headsets, keyboards, mice, and other peripherals. They are well-rated and stylish, but the only problem is they don’t come cheap. However, we’ve noticed that Amazon has started to discount a wide variety of Logitech accessories. Not all are gaming related, but most are.
There are 2 problems with the current state of iPad stand/cases out there according to Logitech. 1: They don’t always match the sleek and slim style of the iPad, and 2: You typically get only 2-3 viewing options from them.
The Logitech AnyAngle, unlike current cases, uses a hidden magnet and hinge system that’s strong enough to hold your iPad at any angle. The case also looks pretty sleek and comes in six different colors.
The Logitech AnyAngle joins Logitech’s lineup of protective cases – including the Logitech Big Bang and the Logitech Hinge, both of which are now compatible with the iPad Air 2. The Logitech AnyAngle is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in November 2014 for a suggested retail price of $59.99.
The overhauled design of iPhone 6 has slowed third party accessory makers to a crawl. We’ve seen a variety of docks and ultra-thin cases from smaller outfits, but name-brand companies are taking an exceptionally long time to bring iPhone 6/Plus accessories to market.
The Protection+ case is Logitech’s first official iPhone 6 case…
1. The whole internal structure has changed to optimize the type of sound the Ultimate Ears group wanted to provide.
2. It is both louder and crisper at higher volumes as well. It is another class…to quote Spinal Tap, they’ve gone to 11 and further. As you can see in the video – the sound of the Boom at 1/3 is what the Box didn’t hit until 2/3rd of the way.
3. It has the same pairing capabilities as the more expensive, full sized Ultimate Ears Boom speaker (see video) to make stereo sound and improve the volume some more. Left/Right sound separation are a big deal here.
4. The Bluetooth range has now increased up to 50 feet from 33 which is a result of improved antenna design and power. Interesting note: The second speaker can be even further because it pairs with the first speaker, not the phone.
The UE Boom lets you pair two devices at once (the speaker remembers the last eight connected devices). You can stream music wirelessly via Bluetooth from up to 50 feet away with a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 10 hours.
Logitech is extending the lineup of smartphone cases it launched earlier this year with the new protection [+] power for iPhone 5/5s and Samsung Galaxy S5. Just like the name suggests, the new cases are designed to not only offer additional juice on-the-go, but seamless integration into Logitech’s other smartphone accessories and military-grade damage protection.
Head below for more details, availability and pricing:
Today, Logitech announced the newest member of its M series mouse lineup. The new M320 comes with Logitech’s Advanced Optical Sensor for updated responsiveness, an ergonomic design “to guide your hand to a natural position” and a brand new look.
The keyboard from Logitech features built-in Bluetooth and full-size keys and iOS shortcuts for fast, fluid typing. The cover and iPad stay perfectly aligned and securely closed when you are on the go with magnetic clasps. Also, a magnetic groove holds the iPad upright at the ideal angle for typing and interacting with the touch screen. The Logitech automatically wakes your iPad when you open the cover and puts it to sleep when closed.
Released just a few months ago, its illuminated keys make it easy to control wireless TV-connected Mac/PC or other USB-enabled TV/Media center wirelessly in darkened rooms. Other features include a built-in microUSB rechargeable battery, integrated touchpad, and customizable software. Rated 3.9 out of 5 stars.
Satechi has released a pair of new wireless keyboards with support for up to five different Bluetooth devices. This California-based company went along with traditional stereotypes and made the Mac/iOS version silver with white keys and the PC/Android version black with black keys.
Either keyboard can technically be used with any device that supports Bluetooth keyboards, but you’ll want to pair them up with the types of devices they were intended for to take advantage of the OS-specific keys. For example, the Mac/iOS version features lock button, home button, and spotlight search keys for iDevices.
At just 0.7-inches thick, it is pretty much the same size as the standard Apple keyboard. But the Satechi’s killer feature is the ability to be synced with up to five unique Bluetooth accessories at any given time. That means you can seamlessly go from typing on your Mac to your iPad, to your iPhone, to your Apple TV, to your — never mind, I’m sure you get the idea. I have the Logitech K811 backlit keyboard and although it only syncs with three devices, I find this feature absolutely invaluable after using it for a few short months.
This same coupon code will also drop the Logitech M185 wireless mouse down to $5.99 (orig. $25 new), the G100s wired gaming mouse down to $14.99 (orig. $40 new), and the G930 USB gaming headset down to $53.99 (orig. $100 new). All of these items are refurbished and include a 90-day warranty.
Omaker sent us a review unit this week and it works darn well for a $16 speaker.
Their words:
It has a metallic finish with simple design. It features Bluetooth 3.0+EDR and it’s “unique and compact ostrich egg fashion appearance slips easily into your bag for use on the go.” It’s high definition and surprising fullness realized through a 4W driver and bass port – outclassing other similar-sized portable speakers. Built-in big capacity Polymer Lithium Batteries allow for a playback time of up to 8 hours.
Ours:
Is it going to give something like Logitech’s Boom line a run for its money? No, not at all. But it is pretty nice and a nice accessory for a mobile device. It pairs easily and it actually says in broken english “MOMI IS WAITING FOR YOUR CONNECTION” and then confirms your connection. Then when you lose connection, more broken English.
It sounds a little bit better than the speakers on a MacBook Pro and yet it can fit in your pocket and make speakerphone calls very nicely though we heard an echo in our testing). It has lasted over 5 hours in our brief testing.
It received 4.6/5 stars and great reviews from Amazon customers. We’re in agreement. If you need a speaker and have $16 to spend, then go for it!
Today, Logitech is introducing what it calls “the world’s fastest gaming mouse.” Designed specifically for high intensity FPS gamers, the G402 Hyperion Fury Gaming Mouse features Logitech’s in house Delta Zero sensor technology providing “unrivaled” accuracy as well as its exclusive Fusion Engine sensor technology that can reliably track over 500 inches per second (IPS).

We got our hands on this keyboard and found it to be a worthy accessory:
Logitech’s Ultrathin Keyboard for the iPad mini is an excellent, well-designed and built Bluetooth keyboard accessory. It is thin, light, and easy-to-setup. With a small learning curve for adjusting to the keyboard, this model is a great solution for anyone seeking to add mechanical keys to their iPad mini setup.

The Logitech Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard K830 looks like a great product for those who want to control their TV-connected Mac/PC or other USB-enabled TV/ Media center wirelessly in darkened rooms. A three hour microUSB charge lasts for over a week and you get about a 30-foot range via the USB 2.4GHz wireless radio.
“More and more consumers want an easy way to access movies, TV programs, music and photos with their PC connected to a TV,” said Charlotte Johs, global vice president of brand development for PC accessories at Logitech. “Our new Illuminated Living-Room Keyboard K830 is designed with this setup in mind. Backlit keys and a premium aesthetic that blends into the living room make it a stand-out choice for people with connected TVs.”
9to5Mac spent some time with the PowerShell and found it to be a worthy first entrant into the MFi controller space:
…I generally had a good experience playing games that supported the controller. For casual gamers that don’t have a problem sticking to the supported games, the PowerShell won’t disappoint despite a few shortcomings. If you’re a hardcore gamer that will be playing for hours on end, the buttons on the PowerShell leave a lot to be desired.
Logitech has recently introduced its new Bluetooth Audio Adapter, which enables simple Bluetooth pairing with an existing speaker system. The tiny audio streaming device comes with multipoint Bluetooth technology allowing it to talk to multiple devices at once and will connect to any speaker system with RCA or 3.5mm inputs.
The Bluetooth Audio Adapter’s mini form factor (2 x 2 x 1-inches) is just big enough to house the split left and right RCA and stereo 3.5mm output jacks, along with the AC connection.
There is also a small square button on the top of the unit for pairing a device up for the first time. According to Logitech, the Audio Adapter will automatically re-establish Bluetooth connection without the need to manually use the pairing function again. As far as range goes, Logitech’s spec sheet states it will work at up to 50 feet.
The Anker is stylish, lightweight and super-slim, the keyboard doubles as a cover with a clip-and-go magnet. It will charge up in 2 hours and you can enjoy 100 hours of uninterrupted use. It also features an auto sleep/wake mode for your iPad mini, triggered by opening and closing the lid. The built-in groove and stand, constructed out of durable plastic and metal, firmly hold your iPad mini in place for secure, easy viewing. Amazon reviewers rated it 4.5/5 stars.
