The keyboard may be great for productivity, but there's no doubt that it's lacking a certain something when it comes to playing games. With many modern titles demanding dozens of hotkeys as well as the usual 'mouse and WASD' arrangement, learning hotke...

Here we have the Logitech G13 Advanced Gameboard; part of Logitech's Gaming series of peripherals.So what exactly is an Advanced Gameboard then? Well it's a kind of a hybrid between a keyboard and a joystick with the addition in this case, of an LCD displ...
So within minutes I was up and running with the new board, it took only a few more whilst in-game to reprogram it ‘on the fly' just as I like, without once having to refer to the manual! After a few games I was at home with the new board which is a great...

The keyboard has been a mainstay of PC controllers for decades, but its reign has always been one of obvious convenience rather than practicality. The keyboard has many buttons, which can be useful, but it also has many disadvantages. No joysticks, n...
Having spent several hours with the G13 in each of these games, and lesser amounts of time in a variety of titles I regularly play, I've come away with the impression that the G13 doesn't provide anything that you couldn't obtain through the use of a stan...

For most PC gamers, the best part about playing on a PC over console is the added control and flexibility of using a mouse and keyboard. More specifically the mouse gives you the amazing control that just can't be found with a gamepad. The keyboard, al...
