Logitech G13

Any one using one here? Was going to order one from OcUK this morning but they are out of stock, bought from a competitor who are charging me nearly £10 for delivery and I wont get it until Wednesday !! last time I use them.

But, what are the thoughts of those that have one? I hear they take a bit of getting used to for gaming but once you convert there is no going back?

It certainly looks the business and will go well with the G19 I intend to get once its released.

I got mine the other day, not impressed with the position of the thumb buttons, perhaps the size of my hand but I find that once I've positioned my hand so that my fingers are in the optimal postion for reaching the buttons my thumb is hard pushed to reach the button nearest the left side and no chance of pressing the other button with my thumb.

would have prefererred the thumb buttons more to the right to emulate a WASD and spacebar setup

Not sure whether to stick with my Zboard Fang and sell or persevere

I'm wondering about getting something like this to help with my gaming.

I'd be interested to hear from anybody who has used this and the Belkin N52. The Belkin looks better ergonmically albeit with fewer buttons.

I wish I'd waited, would have saved me a few quid, oh well.

Anyway, got mine on Wednesday and I really like, it fits my hand just perfect including the thumb buttons and mini stick.

I've never used any of the other dedicated game pads, but have always been impressed with Logitech's quality so went for this. Ergonomically, they must have put a lot of thought into this, its very very comfortable to use and I love how you can choose any colour back light you want. My hands are perhaps a little larger than average? but it could have been made for my hand.

I read it takes some adapting too, but after half an hour in CoD4 I was using it instinctively, it wont make me a better gamer, but then I was never that good to begin with, but it is satisfying to use as well as very comfortable, and it sure looks trick sitting beside my G15 soon to be G19.

It gets my recommendation.

Echo the thoughts on the Belkin vs this

This looks a lovely piece of kit, but the belkin looks better "value for money"

Logitech does win the stylish looks over the belkin for sure, but tbh they both look really nice.

Sorry to necro a thread but figured this one pretty much suits my questions. As per a couple of other people, how does the G13 compare to the N52? Is it as comfortable? I have the n52te and quite like it but would like more keys. The n52 is extremely comfortable to use though. Anyone with experience of both, I would love your feedback.

I would like to know how people rate this to the N52....

I have used the N52 for quite a few years now - first the original and then the TE and I absolutely love it.
it's magic to able to just plug it in and not reload a shedload of profiles.

it doesn't have a big footprint on my desk and is comfortable for long time play.
if the G13 ticks all those boxes then I might be up for a change.
