iVVChewy9141VVi Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Anyone here use the Logitech G13 Pad? How is it? What do you use it for? Does it have RGB lighting?
cichlidfan Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I have used it and it works quite well. It serves as a place to map commonly used keyboard shortcuts. What for would depend on the aircraft you fly. No RGB. It is a very old product.

FraserNZL Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Yea I have one and could play DCS or any game without it. If you can get one do it you wont regret it
RyboPops Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 +1 for the G13. I originally got it as a poor man's ICP/DED for Falcon BMS but I use it for almost everything now. For the A-10C I use M1 as the UFC which makes CDU input a breeze. I also use it for TrackIR control and taking a screenshot, plus a few lesser used items M2 and M3.
TheThumper Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) +1, love my old G13. As far as RGB... it does have color adjustable lighting. You can set almost any color for the LED display and the backlighting for the keys. I never have found a good use for the attached joystick though.... anyone using that in a useful way?

cichlidfan Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I never have found a good use for the attached joystick though.... anyone using that in a useful way? I use it for landing gear. I have it configured so that slapping it left or right toggles the gear (in most aircraft).

RyboPops Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I use the G13 ministick for the DATA and SEL rockers on the UFC. Pretty unconventional, but it works well for me.
Sweep Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 When I used SimpleRadio a lot I configured the G13 stick to select radios because my TMWH Mic Switch doesn't work very well anymore. Lord of Salt
