00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:09,280
so today I'm going to be having a quick look at the Logitech G13 this is a

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:12,080
gaming keyboard in the sense that it has

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:16,760
gaming keys on it it is a board but it is not really a traditional keyboard

4
00:00:13,799 --> 00:00:22,000
This is actually more like that Nostromo uh n52 item from belon except that this

5
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:26,359
is a Logitech branded one and being Logitech it brings with it a lot of

6
00:00:24,279 --> 00:00:30,560
Logitech advantages so first of all Logitech is telling you okay you can

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,440
have four different colored so if you can change the backlight color

8
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:37,120
on your keys to four different colors they're saying there is gamechanging

9
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:42,600
control you know what I'm going to put this nice and close so you guys can actually read it yourself what is

10
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:47,360
gamechanging comfort so they're saying the ergonomics of this are designed to

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:52,800
give you the best possible Comfort while you are playing games this is a gaming

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,480
product it is for gamers for gaming and

13
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:59,199
also they have something about 60 plus game panel enabled games including World

14
00:00:56,879 --> 00:01:03,600
of Warcraft actually I have a g15 keyboard myself and I found that since I

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:07,759
first got it when it was released like way back a million and one years ago the

16
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:13,479
game support has gotten phenomenally good like I just install a new game and

17
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,400
boom it has my health or my ammo or

18
00:01:13,479 --> 00:01:18,880
whatever it is just on my LCD I don't even have to configure it anymore these

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:25,360
days it's pretty cool so the first thing we find inside is uh probably a disc I'm

20
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,920
assuming based on how inflexible it is

21
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,840
yeah we find a quick start guide which is actually only about four pages just

22
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:37,079
like that basically okay quick start guide plug it in a USB

23
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,920
port and put the disc there that's your quick start guide okay the next one is

24
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:46,640
important information from Logitech we'll ignore that it could be that important Logitech G Series key profiler

25
00:01:44,759 --> 00:01:52,159
download the latest one off the Logitech site as I always recommend and then

26
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:57,320
let's get down to business here so at the back of this box here is our USB

27
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:00,399
cable tucked away in there so let's just pull that out oh this is a nice long

28
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:05,479
cable actually and it's got kind of a sturdy thick cable feel to it

29
00:02:03,399 --> 00:02:08,640
so here should give you some idea how long it is it's long enough actually and

30
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:12,840
they've probably thought of this putting such a long cable on a keyboard type

31
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:16,640
device it's long enough that you can kind of stick it away from your desk

32
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:22,920
when you're not using it and then bring it up onto your desk when you're actually going to be playing a game so

33
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:28,519
let's take the oh this is cool okay so when you're lifting the G13 out of the

34
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,959
box you actually lift up the whole

35
00:02:28,519 --> 00:02:33,840
packaging here this is kind of like the wow Mouse from steel series and then you

36
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:38,920
take off the plastic clam shell and then you can pull the G13 out so let's just

37
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:44,040
get this out of here wow I've made a real mess with the Box okay I'm actually going to lift the camera up here so that

38
00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:47,959
I can show you guys sort of what the ergonomics look like on this particular

39
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:52,080
game pad they've got a bit of a rubberized wrist rest right here so

40
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,680
that's meant to be let's have a look from the side right where your right

41
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,480
where your palm sits so that you don't actually have any gaps when you're

42
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:05,879
resting naturally between your hand and the G13 and that is actually very very

43
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:10,879
comfortable so these dented keys right here are meant to replace your WD and

44
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:16,840
then you've got all these programmable macro Keys all over the place and like

45
00:03:13,959 --> 00:03:22,640
many Logitech keyboard devices with the G Series you've got M1 M2 M3 Mr so these

46
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:27,159
are actually different profiles so you can completely reconfigure your key

47
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,599
macros depending which one of these you have active obviously this is your

48
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:36,319
brightness adjust these are all unlabeled buttons I wish I could help you with those but I cannot and then

49
00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:39,840
there is your LCD screen now down here this is interesting too because normally

50
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:46,319
the thumb is only good for one thing and that's space bar pretty much but here

51
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:48,640
you've actually got a a analog joystick

52
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,920
and then two buttons so you could find it to jump and something else anyway

53
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,280
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the oh this is actually cool okay I'm

54
00:03:54,439 --> 00:03:59,840
not quite done yet you've got rubberized feet all over the bottom of the G13 so

55
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:05,599
that's going to keep it from slipping anywhere on your desk and they feel quite quite sticky quite grippy and then

56
00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:09,360
you've also got a metal plate on the bottom that's a very nice touch it's

57
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:13,879
kind of a brushed metal finish on there and that's your G13 branding so to speak

58
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:18,239
so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the

59
00:04:16,359 --> 00:04:22,639
Logitech G13 let's see if I can find this
