It’s a strange decision, but perhaps we can see the lights being useful for giving an esports team their own identity via a colour shared by their headsets. But they are only on the back of the headset, so you can’t see them (obviously), but neither can anyone watching your gaming stream, unless you sit with your back to the camera. The pair of light strips and pair of Logitech logos can be made any colour and even assigned a pattern to shift between hues. Lastly, we have the G635’s party piece – RGB lighting. These buttons are a little tricky to identify by feel alone, but we’re sure most gamers will save their location to muscle memory in no time. For example, you could create a profile best suited to a certain game then assign that setup to the G1 button.

Using Logitech’s G Hub software, PC and Mac gamers can customise these buttons to adjust the sound of the headset. Finally there are three function buttons, called G1, G2 and G3. The left ear cup is also where you find the volume dial, a microphone mute button and a switch for flicking the headset between USB and 3.5mm audio mode. It can also be set to automatically mute when raised, and thankfully there is enough room so that the boom can be raised without first needing to push the articulating arm back inside. Helpfully, that at least means we can see a light on the mic that indicates when it is muted. We suspect most users will get used to this over time, but we found it rather annoying how we could constantly see the microphone in the corner of our eye. However, we don’t feel there is enough movement here, and the result is a microphone that sits further from our mouth than we are used to, and which remains in sight at all times. The solid microphone boom pivots downwards, then the mic itself can be pulled out on an articulating arm to better reach your mouth. It’s a smart piece of design and turns the headset into a regular pair of wired headphones for when you want to game solo, or listen to music or watch a movie. The G635 features a microphone that isn’t detachable, but which folds away neatly into the side of the left earcup. In better news, the fabric Logitech has used is soft while remaining breathable, and we didn’t notice any build up of heat while gaming. We grew somewhat used to this over time, but initially it grips a little too tightly on the temples for our preference. However, this is quite a tight-fitting headset and applied a fair amount of pressure just above and ahead of our ears. We found this to be largely true, with the headset fitting neatly into place, snugly hugging our head without putting any pressure on our ears.

Even before the RGB lights burst into life, the headset has a purposeful and somewhat chunky look, with lots of cushioning on the ear cups and headband to ensure good comfort. There is no mistaking that the Logitech G635 is first and foremost a gaming headset. We just wish the headset wasn’t quite so tight, and the microphone was out of sight. It feels solid and well made, and offers a great rage of adjustability on the headband, meaning it should fit gamers of all ages. However, the unusual design doesn’t necessarily make the G635 a bad headset.
