Logitech’s forthcoming cloud-based handheld games console has been leaked, with images and anaccompanying name: the Logitech G Gaming Handheld.
Back at the start of August, wereported on the newsof an exciting new collaboration between Swiss computer peripheral maker Logitech and Chinese video game publisher Tencent Games.
