Logitech has announced that  its G13 Gameboard should be out in a month or so.

Rockin a trio of game modes, a built-in 160 x 43 pixel LCD for stats and messaging, 25 programmable keys, and a programmable joystick, Logitech confidently states that the G13

“offers up to 87 ways for you to control your game.”

It also arrives with pre-configured settings for World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare as well as other top titles.

You can obviously setup custom button-profiles as you please and even create macros on the fly without having to pause your game.

It’s gonna be costing around the £60 mark.

It also appears that we could get its big brother as Engadget Chinese has spotted the G18 keyboard!

They haven’t got much in the way of specs and tings but they did spot the fast function keys on the left side of the board (some which seem to be numbered G11-G15), and the fact that the full board is also packing a tiny display at the center.

GAME ON!!

You work hard all week (of course it still counts if you worked hard avoiding work - that can still wear you out) so you deserve to kick back in luxury.

How about some soothing sounds as well to help you unwind?

This is the handy-work of Italian design firm D.sign21.

The Ray Chaise (not to be mistaken with Ray Charles) offers the ergonomic and supporting shape of a classic chaise longue - renowned for being the ultimate chilling device.

It brings everything bang up-to-date with its fibreglass frame and plush leather upholstery and on closer inspection you’ll notice an iPod dock in the arm which is hooked up to a set of hidden speakers.

The minor point of how easy it is to get up from will remain exactly that: minor.  Why would you need to remove yourself from such a comfy position?

The Ray Chaise goes on sale next year for an as-yet undisclosed price.

I realise that this isn’t really a gadget or such but I think that this redesign of something that certainly I’d feel hard to live without was worth mentioning. 

The pad of humble Post-its is like gold in the modern office but this pushes the ante . It’s a Pock-it;  same idea with a twist.  Now, three of the sides are sticky forming a little pocket.  Handy for business cards “Jeff called to sell you puppies - here’s his card”, “Here’s your stinkin rent!” at the end of the month and “I took £30 out of your handbag when you went to the loo - here it is back”………..
