If you are fed up with your stock Wii Guitar Hero controllers Logitech has an offering for you — What you see above is Logitech’s Wireless Guitar Controller for Wii that will hit retailers in October for $199. This controller reportedly has a maple neck, metal frets and a rosewood fingerboard, making for a true to the art experience.

Additionally, there is also the Logitech Wireless Drum Controller for Wii that will also ship in October for $229. This controller apparently uses hardware similar to that found in professional digital drum sets so the quality is just as high as the above mentioned guitar controller.

Either way, you’re still getting the same gameplay value from these controllers as you are from the controllers that ship with the game. But, if you have to have the best, these are up there.

Logitech has always supported serious PC gaming. During the years hardcore gamers have chosen its mice and keyboards, its headsets and so much more. And after the G13 gameboard filled with buttons, Logitech has created various new peripherals which will support any game you decide to play.

First of all we have the new G19 keyboard which features a 320 x 240 color LCD and 12 G-keys which can have up to three macros assigned to each. The G19 will cost $199.

You might want to bundle that with the $129 G35 which is a 7.1 surround-sound headset with integrated voice morphing options. And last but not least we have the G9 mouse or the G9x which will get you a maximum DPI of 5000. The G9x will cost $99 and it will arrive in April following the G35 and G19 which will be launched this March.

Logitech’s gaming keyboards and mice have always been cool, and to add to its lineup, the company has introduced the G13 gameboard – a hybrid gaming keyboard designed to complement your current Logitech keyboard and mouse.

“If you’re into serious gaming, there’s no better feeling than playing with the G13 gameboard by your side,” said Ruben Mookerjee, Logitech’s director of product marketing for gaming. “Unlike other gameboards that focus only on programmability, the G13 advanced gameboard incorporates the principles of our award-winning Comfort Wave design. So whether you’re getting into World of Warcraft or walking into your next LAN party, the G13 gameboard gives you a powerful advantage over those forced to work with less.”

As you can see from the pictures, the board has been designed with ergonomic shape and functionality in mind. It complements the natural shape of human hands and fingers, with the concave home-row keys located in such a way that they are easy to touch. The board feature three game modes, 25 programmable keys and a programmable analog stick, offering up to 87 ways for you to control your game. There’s also a 160×43 pixel LCD that shows live game stats, system info and even messages from other players.

Additionally, the board features onboard memory, letting you program up to five profiles and take them with you to your next LAN party. The G13 gameboard is expected to be available later this year for $79.99.
