Hey everybody, we are live from Ignite. It is day one, and I'm here with Craig. How are you doing? It's good. Good to see you, Tom. For people that don't know you, do you want to introduce yourself? I'm Craig Ishii. It's nice to see you everyone. I lead the product marketing team for software services and partners at Logitech. Awesome. So, uh, we talk a lot about your devices, but we've got a whole array of things going on on the stand. Um, so you pick. Where do we want to start? What are you showing here? So, Tom wanted to look at a mixture of our team workspace devices and our personal workspace devices. Um, I guess we'll start. Start with the team workspace devices. There's a little bit of a review and we'll dive into maybe some of the newer fun stuff on the PWS side in just a second, so we can start with Sight. I'm sure folks have heard and seen from the podcast, but Sight is our center of table camera that pairs with our Rally bar to give a front and center view of the action that's happening in. usually medium to larger conference room spaces I don't have an example of it, but we also came out with our Meetup 2, which is great for both Teams Rooms and BYOD setups, if you choose. Yep, so you can run that BYOD, you've got the active USB cable as well, and you recently launched the USB extension as well. That's right, that's right, I don't have it installed yet. Here on this desk, but Logitech Extend, which you just came out with, I have got one. So coming soon. I know. I know. And the great part is that you can use category cables to connect two boxes that enable on Android based setups for you to transition it into a BYOD mode right from the center of the table. So the idea is use the extension. Connect it to, um, to the, uh, to the Rally Bar, Rally Bar Mini, Rally Bar Puddle at the front of the room. You then category cable it to the other box that's sitting underneath the cable, and then you have an active USB C cable, just a single cable. That's gonna transition both, um, uh, display support as well as camera control to your laptop. So, that's on the Teamwork space side. Then, let's go headsets. Sure. I feel like I don't know enough about your headsets. You are leading the charge on dongle-less as well. We are leading the charge. So, this which is now certified Bluetooth for Microsoft, Microsoft Teams. What that means is that the functionality, the advanced functionality of the headset beyond just standard Bluetooth connectivity, most headsets are going to have standard Bluetooth connectivity, but advanced controls like , mute off, mute on, as well as some of the other device functionality, like , the call button here are going to be enabled through Bluetooth rather than only through USB before. So, you now no longer need the dongle to use that. Exactly, that's the key thing, so it's native Bluetooth. So this is a new certification from Microsoft, which means it's fully supported to work without a dongle with a Windows machine. Correct, correct, correct. And so, just as a call out, this is our Zone Wireless 2 headset, , as part of our, uh, B2B Portfolio. Uh, another callout would be our MK950 Windows based, um, mice and keyboard combo. So, the great part about this is that it's at a very, very healthy price point. It, you know, depends by region, but here for USD, uh, it's a hundred, under a hundred dollars, um, for a great mice and keyboard. Very sturdy. got the, uh, band. Import and Copilot, which that's a nice way to actually know the Copilot key as well, very nice. And that's probably the call out of the Windows version is that the MK950 now has the Copilot button located on the keyboard itself, right? Very nice. And then finally, something that we came out with, and we have two different colors here to show, is our MX console device. So the MX console device has a series of programmable buttons that have, um, they're backlit, and so you can change the icons here. You can program macros, you can program everything from screen brightness to volume up, volume down, to, uh, actually a number of integrated applications can be programmed on here as well. So, for example, we have a very healthy partnership with Adobe. Yeah, I've seen all the creative stuff. Right, right, right. And then you bring this into play and it gets really interesting because now you've got a dial as well. Exactly, and this is also programmable. So this is not just volume, this can be programmed for zoom, for a horizontal screen. Scroll. Um, there's also buttons here again on the top and bottom that are also programmable, all within Logi Options Plus. So the great part is that it's not really just for creatives, it's for productivity too. For myself, I have the white version of this. Uh, I have it right on the left side of my keyboard. I have my mouse on the right side of my keyboard. I have my Logi dock in front. And so I've kind of got all the buttons that I need to be very quick when it comes to, Oh, start a Teams meeting end a Teams meeting. Turn my mute on, turn my mute off. Or if I'm in a document, let's say if I'm in Excel. horizontal scroll to the place that I want to. I've got all just the buttons and kind of tools that I need to be able to do that as fast as I want. I think that for, for a knowledge worker, that's really interesting because those are some of the things that I do really common. So just having those be one click is really nice right now, according call out is that you're not gonna get a white. And the black and the same thing you're going to get. You can get all graphite and get all white, but we wanted to show both colors here. Awesome. Awesome. Cool. Craig, thanks so much for showing us everything. Really appreciate it. If you're at the show, come over to see Logitech. Obviously, they've got all the room systems, the video and everything else. Um, for people who aren't here, Craig, and they want to find out more, what's the best thing to do? Well, there's a lot of different options for that. There's always Logitech.com that has all the information. Information, everything from specifications to data sheets. Um, but when it comes to team workspace devices, something that I really encourage is our room configurator that exists on logitech.com. You're gonna be able to specify the type of room that you have, the platform that you're on. Yeah. And then from there it's gonna tell you and give you a bunch of different suggestions for video conference equipment and accessories to outfit that room with. Awesome. So really comes. Yeah. Cheers. My pleasure.
