Touches like backlighting that can be any colour of the rainbow and a fully programmable LCD display as found on the company’s gaming keyboards appear to give the G13 a definite edge over its well-established rivals. Ascend to... the PC Master Race. This thread is archived . The palm rest is textured nicely and the flatter design is more in tune with how my hand wants to naturally rest. The thumbstick’s hat is also a little small for my taste. I was initially worried about it’s curvature. From my experience, it is suitable for people with medium to large hands. The only exception are the M-keys, which are always backlit and only in red. When my WoW profile is set to M2, the G11 key will activate the map. In Call of Duty 4 though, because of the way the G-keys are all packed together rather than the more staggered and divided layout of, say, the Cyborg Command Unit, I frequently found myself pressing the wrong key in a hectic firefight. If you are impartial, you might as well just get the G13. I have thumb button G23 bound to momentarily shift into M2 when pressed and back to M1 when released. It has better software, it’s built better and has more buttons. Offering a visual representation of the G13 where a click on any of its virtual keys brings up a menu with various options, matching keyboard-keys, scripts or macros to each of them couldn’t be simpler. We’ll always tell you what we find. Question. Though most gaming keypads on the market offer some form of backlighting, none can match Logitech’s implementation. G13 itself is much more comfortable than I thought it would be. Just above the G13’s padded wrist-rest to the right is a small stick like you might find on a joypad, with two large grey buttons for your thumb just beside it. The G13 is a bit expensive for what it is, but that’s just the way it is with gaming peripherals, or so it seems. The G13 is a bit expensive for what it is, but that’s just the way it is with gaming peripherals, or so it seems. Interestingly, the G13 is also incredibly handy in certain productivity scenarios. However, like with so many technology products that don’t have a defined set of properties, it’s surprising how often manufacturers get it wrong. It is much flatter in comparison to the n52 and was under the impression that it would feel awkward or something. Worst of all, it only allows access to profiles for which you have the actual games installed. Unfortunately the stick is only a four-way affair rather than the full analog eight-way model you’ll find on a joypad, and thus more limited in its use. We never, ever accept money to review a product. Hasn't been in production for a while, yet there is still some demand for it. It is also worth noting, just as a general preface to any gamepad: These devices really shine in MMOs and perhaps PC RPGs with a crapload of buttons. ), but still I can't find them lower than $50. Even the smallest X-Keys cost about $100, and so do Fentek reprogrammable keyboards, and the smallest Optimus mini-keypads (if you can still find them). The Logitech G502 Lightspeed takes one of the company’s most loved gaming mice and makes it lighter, faster and wireless. With all that out of the way, how does the G13 actually perform? 86% Upvoted. While not quite the consummate marvel we had hoped for, despite its flaws Logitech’s G13 Advanced Gameboard is the most desirable gaming keypad on the market and justifies its high price with features like a programmable LCD screen and backlighting in any colour you could want. Edit: My WoW configuration is posted here if anyone is intersted. The design is very attractive with elegant and sharp lines, with its mostly black, matte finish avoiding the garishness that occasionally afflicts gaming peripherals. This is an even greater shame considering Saitek’s Cyborg Command Unit, which has been on the market for a while now, offers a full analog thumb stick that can even be mapped to act as a mouse. Two, I wish that the first 2 columns of keys (G1, G2, G8, G9 and G15) were shifted downwards by perhaps a quarter of an inch. Logitech g13 users? The four directions of the thumb-stick each act as a programmable key and the stick itself can be pressed down, which combined with the two thumb buttons and 22 G-keys gives the G13 29 fully programmable keys as is. (centre)The G-keys can’t actually display various colours simultaneously; this is just a merged shot to show some of the hundreds of shades available(/centre), So far, Logitech’s G13 Advanced Gameboard seems to be holding up pretty well. Ergonomics aside, if you are already used to playing with a gamepad then there isn’t much of a learning curve. After binding every single ability and overcoming the learning curve, there was a notable improvement in my performance and reaction time. Logitech has stuck to this basic formula, but added much that makes the G13 stand out. The $149.99 (£129.99) mouse is … I have two ergonomic gripes though. Since the G13 is otherwise symmetrical, it’s also a pity Logitech did not make the small section with the stick and two thumb-buttons attachable to either side (similarly to the number-pad on Microsoft’s ingenious SideWinder X6 Keyboard), which would have made its G13 the only ambidextrous game keypad on the market aside from the Zboard Fang. Posted by 1 year ago. 4 comments. Playing some RPGs and RTSs presented no problem, basically because in these cases all you really need the pad for is as a button repository. As always, with any peripheral, ergonomics will differ according to hand size and personal preference. save hide report. Press J to jump to the feed. Overall, it gives a sense of luxury few peripherals can match. My n52te still works, but there is notable wear and I am wondering if I will run into key sticking problems in the future.
