Source1Maker product pagelogitechg.com/en-us/shop/p/g522-lightspeedRead 8 October 2026Windows dongle input/output and wired communication devices are explicit in manual pages 3-8. Windows/macOS/PS5 USB support is also stated in the maker-branded product sheet system requirements. Switch USB is docked use. TechRadar describes Switch Bluetooth and phone playback. GamesRadar actually tested Switch 2 wireless options. Current maker Switch 2 LIGHTSPEED support requires firmware update through G HUB on Windows/macOS. Unproved microphone cells are omitted. No PS4 connection is guessed from its compatibility listing.2Owner's manuallogitechg.com/assets/70276/3/g522_lightspeed_web_qsg_amr.pdfRead 8 October 2026English pages 3-4 identify headset Windows output and microphone input over LIGHTSPEED.

Page 11 describes Windows/Mac volume control.11Reviewtechradar.com/gaming/logitech-g522-reviewRead 8 October 2026Review explicitly describes Bluetooth use with phones, Switch and Switch 2.
