The joint venture between Logitech and Steelcase, which was formally called Project Ghost when we tested it back in May, has been officially renamed Ocular View and is “now orderable in North America and select European countries.”
Designed to be a more affordable alternative to Google’s Project Starline, Ocular View uses off-the-shelf tech and a custom booth to polish the videoconferencing experience.
The new $19.99 M340 Collection is a US exclusive that applies pleasing colors and designs to black or white base models of the popular wireless mouse.
It’s a step above the similarly-designed Pop mouse Logitech debuted in 2021, giving customers some variation between boring monotone and cutesy neons/pastels. I can only hope this kicks off a new wave of quirky, colorful peripheral designs.

I feel like the whole ethos of Logitech hardware boils down to “here is an reliable and easy option.” The company’s new Mevo Core 4K live streaming video camera is yet another example.
Designed for wireless on-location streaming wherever your content creation ambitions take you, it’s got a Micro Four Thirds sensor inside, supports interchangeable lenses, and you can control several Mevos with your phone for a multi-angle production. The price? $999 for the camera body only.
Logitech acquired Mevo back in 2021.
This teaser sure makes it look like it. Logitech says it’s getting ready to “invite the world in like never before” on March 6th.
The Logitech Reach is designed for one-handed operation, and will soon be available to purchase via normal channels for $349.99 starting this summer, following an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign,
That’s pretty steep, but the lofty price may be worth it for creative streamers who have spent years wrestling with rigid tripods or webcams perched on a tower of books to achieve a top-down angle overlooking their work.
Former Logitech CEO and repeat Verge podcast guest Bracken Darrell has been appointed as the new president and CEO of VF Brands (via Bloomberg).
