>> Hey, welcome to CES 2009, I'm Natali Del Conte with CNET TV and we're taking a First Look at the Logitech G13 Gameboard. This is a supplemental keyboard for MMO games. It was designed after the Comfort Wave keyboard. It's very ergonomic. The Comfort Wave keyboard you may remember is a CNET Editors' Choice. It's got divots here in the home keys, so you know where you are going without looking down at it. It's also got a display here with -- for messaging or whatever, other supplemental information that you're not getting from your screen. There are 29 programmable keys. There are 22 here, 23 is this button here, 24 is this one, 25 is the joystick which you press down and then you can do up, down, right or left which are 26, 27, 28, 29, so, it's very programmable. It's also got 3 modes along the top, so with those 29 keys and three modes that's 87 options for your keys here. You can also program the lights. It's also weighted, Logitech was saying that some of the other game keyboards have a lot of complaints because they move so much, so on the back here is a steel plate, so it's gonna stay put. This is $79. It's available now online and it will launch in stores later this month. I'm Natali Del Conte with CNET TV. This is your First Look at the Logitech G13 Game keyboard. ^M00:01:24 [ Music ]

The Logitech Cordless Keyboard for Wii is a capable and comfortable keyboard for anyone who's doing a lot of text entry on the Nintendo game console, but it's not a must-have accessory.

Logitech Illuminated Keyboard

The keys on the Logitech Illuminated Keyboard are comfortable to use and emit a satisfying click, but it lacks convenient features we've come to expect from a PC keyboard.

Logitech G15 Keyboard

Logitech's revised version of its already distinctive G15 gaming keyboard adds polish and trims some of the fat. Throw in the now-mature user community that churns out lots of homebrew apps for the built-in LCD screen, and we'd recommend this keyboard to any PC gamer as a unique, useful, and customizable input device.
