Download, install the software from the Logitech website, plug in unit, ready. If you had the software already installed due to another Logitech product you have to do nothing more: insertion and the G13 etc. is detected automatically, updates the software and to configure the necessary window unlocked. Could not be better.
The processing is as addressed exceptionally well. The entire Chasis a quality image and firmly connected. No edge, no rickety plastic, no wobbling. The material is highly compacted, matt plastic / plastic.
The palmrest is unlike ordinary wrist rests not soft, but simple non-slip rubber with comfortable contour. Even long sessions are always pleasant and the device can then easily be abegewischt times with a cloth.
The keys are a little harder in the pressure, but not so hard at the ready as the n52te from Belkin. Moreover, they are a little further collapse or drift apart as for example in the G19 keyboard. For me, a bit too far.
The joystick is strongly sprung and hurls upon release immediately returned. Fortunately, he is so well made that with Him even precise actions are possible. Shooter / MMO players but probably would prefer to stay with the well proven WASD principle, which is easily possible due to the slightly different WASD keys in the G13 also because they have a small depression to recognize them immediately.
The two click buttons of the joystick are a little too spongy, similar to the thumb key when Belkin n52te. Especially the lower button.
The menu buttons are great to achieve and the other buttons on the display to function effortlessly.
Show details of all keys was already reported enough.
I use the Gameboard for all my games (Fallout 3, WoW, League of Legends). In League of Legends I use the joystick for example, for the camera. By the way, at every RTS game without any problems and a great burst of speed in controlling, since you no longer have to move to the edge of the screen, the mouse. The joystick can be occupied with any button, and are used more recently, as an original analog stick should get finer movements. A distinct advantage over the n52te.
All in all it is a great product for every player with the necessary small change and enough space next to the keyboard. Unfortunately, how to read them properly was only for right-handers. The display is a nice gimmick and use with a couple of G15-ons from the fan pages for intelligent things.
Get them if you can :)!
