Logitech is one of the most prolific and popular names in PC gaming accessories and peripherals. The company has announced its latest gaming peripheral called the G13. The G13 is neither a keyboard nor a mouse, two things Logitech is famous for. The G13 is a game pad that moves functions from the keyboard to a smaller device for easier use.

Logitech calls the device a hybrid gaming keyboard and intends it to complement the keyboard and mouse of your computer rather than replace either of them. A sculpted and ergonomically designed shape promises comfortable gaming and the G13 features 25 programmable keys. In addition to the 25 buttons, the device offers a programmable analog stick as well.

Logitech says there are 87 ways to control your game overall when the software is installed. Also featured is a 160 x 43 pixel GamePanel LCD that looks and functions much like the LCD on the G15 keyboard. The LCD can show game stats, system info, and messages from other players. Keys on the G13 are backlit for gaming in the dark. The Logitech G13 will be available this month for $79.99.
