Logitech’s G13 Advanced Gameboard is a hybrid gaming keyboard that can be used with either a PC or a Mac.

It comes with pre-configured settings for many popular games including World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings and Call of Duty 4. It has three game modes, but with the 25 programmable keys and a programmable analogue stick, once the supplied software is installed there are in total 87 ways that the user can control games.

Users can also set custom-button profiles for each one of their favourite titles. The G13 Gameboard can also be programmed for macros, which allow the user to loop common functions and create custom combinations.

The 160x43-pixel LCD shows live game statistics, system information and even messages from other players. The customisable backlit keys help the user locate the right key in low light conditions or lights-out play. The G13 is on sale now priced £75.
