Logitech International makes computer peripheral devices, such as keyboards, mice, headsets, webcams, and gaming controllers. It is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland with U.S. operations in San Jose, California.
The Israeli military has been using Logitech gaming controllers to fly some of its killer drones during the Gaza genocide. A July 2025 video unveiling Israel's latest "attack drones" shows the Logitech F310 gamepad used for this purpose. The video shows multiple quadcopter drones, including Elbit Systems' THOR and Birds of Prey and another drone made by Xtend. It is unclear which one is controlled by the Logitech controller. However, an earlier video from May 2025 shows the same gamepad used to fly Elbit Systems' X-intra drone, which is the newer version of the THOR.
Israel has made unprecedented usage of multiple kinds and brands of drones during the 2023-2025 Gaza genocide. Since the beginning of the genocide, Palestinians in Gaza have reported being targeted and terrorized by quadcopter drones equipped with grenades and sniper guns. These "sniper drones" have killed unarmed civilians in shelters, hospitals, and populated residential areas. As the genocide progressed, Israel reportedly intensified its use of quadcopter drones, “particularly in areas where civilians have sought refuge after being forcibly displaced.”
The Russian military has used the same Logitech controller to fly drones as part of its war with Ukraine. Logitech stopped shipments of its products to Russia in March 2022 and ended its other business in Russia a few months later. In 2025, the E.U. and U.K. imposed bans on the export of all gaming controllers to Russia.
Unlike some other companies that make dual use products, Logitech does not have any policy to address military usage of its products.
