Logitech buys gaming peripheral maker Saitek

site

Over the years, the Swiss at Logitech have become a reference in the world of peripherals, not only for the computer, but also for the world of tablets, where the Swiss company has a large number of keyboards with covers available especially for the Apple iPad range.

For its part, Saitek is widely known for the quality of its peripherals such as steering wheels, joysticks and especially controls for flight and space simulators that turns the experience of playing from our computer as if we were in a real airplane.

Buying Saitek comes to complement the wide range of products for the gaming world that already owns the firm that wants to strengthen its position in the world of video games by adding new peripherals, now that virtual reality has already arrived and is taking off little by little. Logitech has paid 13 million dollars and on the Saitek website we can already see the Logitech logo although officially Saitek has not commented on it.

All Saitek products will be integrated into the Logitech G series, products that will soon expand their number, according to the Swiss company when it announced the purchase of this company through its blog. At the moment we don't know if the current template will become part of Logitech and they will continue to work independently or become part of the Swiss work team.

Many are the users who have expressed their satisfaction after the purchase by Logitech, since since its previous owner Mad Catz took over the company, the quality of their products was declining and peripheral users were beginning to look for alternatives to be able to enjoy their games.
