The Logitech G Yeti GX is a USB microphone built around a custom dynamic capsule rather than the condenser capsule found in most desktop USB mics. Logitech pairs that capsule with a supercardioid pickup pattern, so the mic hears what is directly in front of it and pays far less attention to keyboard clicks, a PC fan or an air conditioner to the side. It records at up to 24-bit/96kHz, plugs into a Windows PC or Mac with a 2 m USB-C to USB-A cable and needs no driver. Two separate RGB zones run on LIGHTSYNC, and the Blue VO!CE voice effects are available through Logitech G HUB. This listing is the black version, part number 988-000569.

Why a dynamic capsule matters in a gaming room
A condenser capsule is very sensitive: it picks up the voice, but also the mechanical keyboard, the mouse, the fan and the echo of bare walls. The Logitech G Yeti GX takes the other route. Its dynamic capsule is less sensitive by nature and the supercardioid pattern narrows the pickup to a tight zone at the front, which Logitech describes as ignoring key clicks. The trade-off is distance: a dynamic mic wants your mouth close to it, roughly a hand-width away, and sounds thinner if you sit back from it. If you game in a shared bedroom or an untreated room in an apartment, this is usually the right compromise for voice chat and streaming.
Smart Audio Lock: limiter and downward expander
Logitech builds two pieces of analogue processing into the Logitech G Yeti GX under the name Smart Audio Lock. The limiter catches sudden peaks, such as a shout during a tense round, and keeps them from clipping into distortion. The downward expander works the other way: when you stop talking, it lowers the level of quiet background sound so the room hum does not creep into your stream between sentences. Both work in hardware, so they help even before any software is installed. In G HUB you can then add Blue VO!CE filters, such as EQ, compression and voice effects, if you want to shape the sound further.
Recording quality in numbers
Logitech lists a sample rate of 24-bit/96kHz, a frequency response of 60Hz to 18.5kHz, a signal-to-noise ratio of 78 dB and a maximum SPL of 135 dB at 1% THD. The frequency range is tuned for the human voice rather than full-range music recording, which suits commentary, Discord and podcasts. In practice 48kHz is plenty for streaming and calls; 96kHz is there if your recording software uses it. Logitech’s support specification lists the output sensitivity as -55 dBFS.
Connection, stand and boom-arm mounting
The mic connects over USB-C on the body, with a 2 m USB-C to USB-A cable in the box, and Logitech lists the requirement as a Windows or Mac computer with a USB 1.1 port or newer. Internet access is only needed if you want to download G HUB. The removable desktop stand holds it at the right angle on a desk, and the box includes an adapter for 5/8-inch and 3/8-inch threads so you can move the Logitech G Yeti GX onto a boom arm or mic stand later. Logitech lists the dimensions as 170 × 100 × 100 mm and the weight as 616 g.
Dual-zone LIGHTSYNC RGB
The two lighting zones are controlled separately in G HUB and can sync with other Logitech G keyboards, mice and headsets on the same PC, so the mic matches the rest of a streaming setup on camera. If you prefer a quiet look, the lighting can be dimmed or turned off in the same software. The black body keeps the mic discreet when the lights are off, which helps if it sits in view of a webcam during work calls as well as gaming sessions.
Who This Is Not For
The Logitech G Yeti GX is not meant for recording music or acoustic instruments; its 60Hz–18.5kHz range and narrow pattern are tuned for a single speaking voice. It does not suit two people sharing one mic, or anyone who sits far from the desk, because a dynamic capsule needs to be close to the mouth. It connects over USB only, with no XLR output for an audio interface or mixer, and Logitech lists Windows and Mac as the supported systems, not consoles. Logitech does not list a headphone output on the Yeti GX specification page.
