Product Information

If you want a keyboard that has onboard memory to save custom profiles, check out the Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile. I have only begun using g810-led, and I have been having a blast with it writing my own Python and Bash scripts to animate and customize the G513 from within Linux. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. GX-Blue switches on the other hand would be ideal for typing so I would go with that if typing is what you will be doing most of the time.

The Razer BlackWidow Elite is a better gaming keyboard than the Logitech G513, mainly because the Razer lets you reassign or set a macro to any key, while the Logitech is limited to the function keys only.Unlike the K95 RGB Platinum's rest, which is plastic with rubber inserts, Logitech's is padded faux-leather, similar in feel to Razer's detachable cushion. Well, 24-bit in that you can assign each key its own RGB color with eight bits per color channel according to the software. The keycaps feel solid and don't wobble much, but are made of cheap ABS plastic and may get slippery over time due to the oil in your fingertips. With a sleek slimline aesthetic, speedy response times, and comfortable wrist rest, there's still plenty going for the G513 in 2022.

The Logitech G513 is a full-sized keyboard that eschews the bulky design all those keys often come with. The Logitech G512 Special Edition and the Logitech G513 are two very similar keyboards that perform almost the same, but the G513 is more comfortable as it has a detachable wrist rest. Both options use Logitech proprietary switches; the G512 is available with different GX switches, while the G513 uses Romer-G switches. Since it's designed for gaming, the G513 has some programmable keys, customization software, RGB backlighting, and a USB passthrough.If you do end up toting it around, you'll appreciate that stemming from the back edge is a thick rubber reinforcement for the 6-foot braided USB cable, protecting the flex joint where it emerges from the chassis. Managing Editor of Hardware at GamesRadar+, I originally landed in hardware at our sister site TechRadar before moving over to GamesRadar. Most of LGS's functionality is divided into four categories, each represented by a simple icon on the lower right side of the screen. The opportunities are endless, considering that profiles can be tied to any of the four lighting modes. It would be better to have this cable in the middle of the keyboard but instead we have a hole in the middle (unknown function but maybe this can be a phone holder?

The palmrest is the same length as the keyboard so for those esthetic freaks out there (like me) don’t worry, it looks great. You can customize the RGB backlighting and program your macros from here, and create unique profiles to suit your needs. In my two weeks with the product, keypresses have been consistently smooth and devoid of the soupy texture I’ve come to expect from Romer-G.Performance-tuned anti-ghosting gives you reliable control when multiple gaming commands are given simultaneously. The breaded power cable consists of two USB cables, one for the keyboard and one for the USB port on the back of the keyboard. inches (depth by width), it's similar in size to the wrist rests of the BlackWidow Chroma V2 and Corsair K95 RGB Platinum. Not only that, but under the hood you'll find Logitech's durable GX switches, which manage to evade that scratchy feel sometimes felt in Cherry models that are plugged into the vast majority of decks. The typing experience is different than with cherry MX switches and to me it feels like a combination between a membrane keyboard and a mechanical one.
