Just in time for the XMAS holiday season when many of us finally get the time to start playing some of our favourite games, Logitech has finished its new G13 Advanced Gameboard; a dedicated peripheral for gamers which incorporates Logitech's award-winning Comfort Wave ergonomic design.

Features include 25 fully programmable and backlit keys with on-the-fly macro creation, a 160 x 43-pixel GamePanel LCD which provides info such as game stats, system specs and other in-game messages, analog stick, 20MB memory space for up to five ready-to-play profiles and pre-configured settings for several blockbuster titles such as WoW, LotR Online and CoD4.

Logitech plan to start selling the G13 Gameboard a little later this month at a price of around $80USD. You can learn a bit more about it within Logitech's official announcement here folks.
