Logitech G13 Gaming Pad: the keyboard add-on to buy

In order to get the best results in gaming, the tools you use are vital. Not only the PC, but also peripherals are important, such as the mouse, the keyboard, the gaming pad. If we were to define the gaming keypad, we would agree that it is, somehow, the keyboard’s best friend (or its accessory, if you like it better that way). It has les keys than a regular keyboard, but the ergonomics should be considerably improved (comfort is important, especially in long gaming sessions), emphasis is put on the characters W, A, S, D (an aspect more than normal, since they are the most used keys in gaming). One of the most popular keypads is the Logitech G13 Gaming Pad.  Read the description below and see if it matches you.

The Logitech G13 Gaming Pad is a very interesting device due to the comfort it provides. It has a curved shape and a wrist pad, which is what make it very appropriate for long sessions of PC gaming. The keys are, rather concave and that helps you locate them easily, plus a very nice tactile feel. All in all, the ergonomics of this keypad for games are, indeed, solid.

The gameboard also includes a small on-board memory that allows the user to load up to five profiles, which is nice, but there devices available on the market that will do better than this one at this particular chapter.

Another good thing about the Logitech G13 Gaming Pad is that the keys are backlit, so you won’t be having any trouble with hitting a certain key even in dark. As a bonus, comes the option to customize the color of the light and for that you have to choose from red, green, yellow and blue.

The gaming keypad has twenty five programmable keys and the producers presume with ‘’up to 87 ways for you to control your game’’, but in order to do so, you need to install a software first. Plus, a thumb stick is included to enhance your performances. However, the thing I like the most about this keypad for games is the LCD panel that displays information, such as: game status, system data or allows you to exchange messages with your team players.

In terms of performances, the Logitech G13 Gaming Pad is most certainly comfortable and allows you to customize it your way.

The price for the Logitech G13 Gaming Pad is around 56 US dollars. What you get is a futurist designed gaming keypad, with lots of customizable options, suitable for long gaming, so I would call it a good deal! It’s also a very nice add-on for a good keyboard that’s not gaming oriented (but we also have a list with the best gaming keyboards). This way you can work on your normal setup and take the G13 gameboad off the closed when you want to have a little fun.
