Logitech has significantly increased the prices of some of its products — in some cases, the increase was up to 25%. The reason was new US tariffs on goods imported from China. The increase affected more than half of the manufacturer’s range, but some popular devices have remained unchanged in price.

The price analysis was conducted by the famous video blogger Cameron Dougherty. He reported that Logitech raised prices on more than half of its products without an official announcement. On average, the increase was 14% and affected both budget models and premium devices.
For example, the MX Master 3S mouse now costs $119 instead of $99, and the Pro Racing Wheel has gone up in price by $200 to $1200. Changes have also affected keyboards: the Pro X TKL model now costs $219 instead of the previous $199. Even the relatively inexpensive K400 Plus Wireless Touch keyboard has gone up in price by 25%, from $27 to $34.
Experts suggest that the price increase is due not only to duties, but also to general economic instability. If the trend continues, the computer peripherals market may face a long-term price increase, notes 9to5Mac.
Meanwhile, some products, such as the MX Ergo and G703 computer mice, have retained their previous prices. Experts advise not to delay purchasing, as the increase may also affect these models. It is also noted that, for example, on Amazon you can still find Logitech products at better prices.
