Another partnership was also recently signed between Logitech and Riot Games as part of the launch of League of Legends-themed peripherals in Brazil. This is actually the second product line to come out of a partnership between these two companies, which had started in 2019 with themed products from the virtual girl band K/DA. The League of Legends product line that will come out of this new agreement is going to include the G Pro X gaming headset, the G Pro mechanical keyboard, the G Pro wireless mouse and the G840 XL mouse pad with unique illustrations of Summoner's Rift, the setting of epic League of Legends matches, among others.
Finally, in 2020, the group also established a strategic alliance with McLaren.
