so today I'm going to be having a quick look at the Logitech G13 this is a
gaming keyboard in the sense that it has
gaming keys on it it is a board but it is not really a traditional keyboard
This is actually more like that Nostromo uh n52 item from belon except that this
is a Logitech branded one and being Logitech it brings with it a lot of
Logitech advantages so first of all Logitech is telling you okay you can
have four different colored so if you can change the backlight color
on your keys to four different colors they're saying there is gamechanging
control you know what I'm going to put this nice and close so you guys can actually read it yourself what is
gamechanging comfort so they're saying the ergonomics of this are designed to
give you the best possible Comfort while you are playing games this is a gaming
product it is for gamers for gaming and
also they have something about 60 plus game panel enabled games including World
of Warcraft actually I have a g15 keyboard myself and I found that since I
first got it when it was released like way back a million and one years ago the
game support has gotten phenomenally good like I just install a new game and
boom it has my health or my ammo or
whatever it is just on my LCD I don't even have to configure it anymore these
days it's pretty cool so the first thing we find inside is uh probably a disc I'm
assuming based on how inflexible it is
yeah we find a quick start guide which is actually only about four pages just
like that basically okay quick start guide plug it in a USB
port and put the disc there that's your quick start guide okay the next one is
important information from Logitech we'll ignore that it could be that important Logitech G Series key profiler
download the latest one off the Logitech site as I always recommend and then
let's get down to business here so at the back of this box here is our USB
cable tucked away in there so let's just pull that out oh this is a nice long
cable actually and it's got kind of a sturdy thick cable feel to it
so here should give you some idea how long it is it's long enough actually and
they've probably thought of this putting such a long cable on a keyboard type
device it's long enough that you can kind of stick it away from your desk
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
let's take the oh this is cool okay so when you're lifting the G13 out of the
box you actually lift up the whole
packaging here this is kind of like the wow Mouse from steel series and then you
take off the plastic clam shell and then you can pull the G13 out so let's just
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
I can show you guys sort of what the ergonomics look like on this particular
game pad they've got a bit of a rubberized wrist rest right here so
that's meant to be let's have a look from the side right where your right
where your palm sits so that you don't actually have any gaps when you're
resting naturally between your hand and the G13 and that is actually very very
comfortable so these dented keys right here are meant to replace your WD and
then you've got all these programmable macro Keys all over the place and like
many Logitech keyboard devices with the G Series you've got M1 M2 M3 Mr so these
are actually different profiles so you can completely reconfigure your key
macros depending which one of these you have active obviously this is your
brightness adjust these are all unlabeled buttons I wish I could help you with those but I cannot and then
there is your LCD screen now down here this is interesting too because normally
the thumb is only good for one thing and that's space bar pretty much but here
you've actually got a a analog joystick
and then two buttons so you could find it to jump and something else anyway
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the oh this is actually cool okay I'm
not quite done yet you've got rubberized feet all over the bottom of the G13 so
that's going to keep it from slipping anywhere on your desk and they feel quite quite sticky quite grippy and then
you've also got a metal plate on the bottom that's a very nice touch it's
kind of a brushed metal finish on there and that's your G13 branding so to speak
so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the
Logitech G13 let's see if I can find this
