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

00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:12.080
gaming keyboard in the sense that it has

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:16.760
gaming keys on it it is a board but it is not really a traditional keyboard

00:00:13.799 --> 00:00:22.000
This is actually more like that Nostromo uh n52 item from belon except that this

00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:26.359
is a Logitech branded one and being Logitech it brings with it a lot of

00:00:24.279 --> 00:00:30.560
Logitech advantages so first of all Logitech is telling you okay you can

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:34.440
have four different colored so if you can change the backlight color

00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:37.120
on your keys to four different colors they're saying there is gamechanging

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

00:00:40.879 --> 00:00:47.360
gamechanging comfort so they're saying the ergonomics of this are designed to

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:52.800
give you the best possible Comfort while you are playing games this is a gaming

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:54.480
product it is for gamers for gaming and

00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:59.199
also they have something about 60 plus game panel enabled games including World

00:00:56.879 --> 00:01:03.600
of Warcraft actually I have a g15 keyboard myself and I found that since I

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

00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:13.479
game support has gotten phenomenally good like I just install a new game and

00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:15.400
boom it has my health or my ammo or

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

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

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:26.920
assuming based on how inflexible it is

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:30.840
yeah we find a quick start guide which is actually only about four pages just

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:37.079
like that basically okay quick start guide plug it in a USB

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

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

00:01:44.759 --> 00:01:52.159
download the latest one off the Logitech site as I always recommend and then

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

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

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:05.479
cable actually and it's got kind of a sturdy thick cable feel to it

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

00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.840
they've probably thought of this putting such a long cable on a keyboard type

00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:16.640
device it's long enough that you can kind of stick it away from your desk

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

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

00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:29.959
box you actually lift up the whole

00:02:28.519 --> 00:02:33.840
packaging here this is kind of like the wow Mouse from steel series and then you

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

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

00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:47.959
I can show you guys sort of what the ergonomics look like on this particular

00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:52.080
game pad they've got a bit of a rubberized wrist rest right here so

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

00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.480
where your palm sits so that you don't actually have any gaps when you're

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:05.879
resting naturally between your hand and the G13 and that is actually very very

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:10.879
comfortable so these dented keys right here are meant to replace your WD and

00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:16.840
then you've got all these programmable macro Keys all over the place and like

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

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:27.159
are actually different profiles so you can completely reconfigure your key

00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:30.599
macros depending which one of these you have active obviously this is your

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

00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:39.840
there is your LCD screen now down here this is interesting too because normally

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

00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:48.640
you've actually got a a analog joystick

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:52.920
and then two buttons so you could find it to jump and something else anyway

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:18.239
so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the

00:04:16.359 --> 00:04:22.639
Logitech G13 let's see if I can find this
