LOGITECH CORPORATE PROFILE
Logitech designs, manufactures and markets personal interface products that enable people to effectively work, play, and communicate in the digital world. The company's products combine essential core technologies, continuing innovation, award-winning industrial design and excellent price performance.
During the past few years, Logitech has significantly broadened its product offering and increased its presence in the retail sector, as consumers enhance their basic systems with more fully featured interface devices that add functionality and cordless freedom to their desktops, as well as supplementary devices designed for new applications and specific purposes such as gaming, multimedia or visual communication on the Internet.
Today, Logitech's retail business accounts for more than 80 percent of its revenue. To provide the market with a broadening array of best-of-category products, Logitech's business model calls for supplementing its internal engineering and manufacturing strength with additional products and technologies through a combination of strategic acquisitions and industry partnerships.
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

You might be thinking “how can a mouse improve my game performance?” Well it won't get your frame rates up, but this may just be what the doctor ordered, to keep you from coming in last at the next LAN tournament.
