Logitech G13 Advanced Gameboard

We recently reviewed (and loved) Logitech's G19 gaming keyboard, a high-end and high-priced peripheral option for gamers who want to ramp up their arsenal. This time around, we're going to be looking at a gaming option half the size and half the price - Logitech's G13 Advanced Gameboard. From the outside, this board looks tough and ready for action – but are these looks deceiving?

The package is simple: the G13, a quick start guide, the driver software, and the warranty. It may not seem like much, but what's inside the gameboard really packs the punch, which we'll get into later.

The G13 itself is a fairly simple design, yet upon first use, it's clear that Logitech put the same thought into constructing this as they do with their other gaming peripherals. The 160 x 43 LCD screen is our first clue that this will be fun to use.
