Logitech G513 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Palm Rest, RGB LIGHTSYNC, GX Brown Tactile Key Switches, Brushed Aluminum Case, Customizable F-Keys, USB Pass Through, QWERTY UK Layout - Carbon/Black

I'm using this keyboard as an ordinary word processing keyboard. I like the degree of resistance the keys offer. I went for brown keys which offer the perfect resistance level for my liking. This feature is contributing to fewer typos. The keyboard is expensive but it is an everyday tool for me and was worth the money in my case. Quality is superb.

I was looking for a full size keyboard to replace my logitech G Pro since I needed the numpad for blender... this keyboard fits all the recommendations and much more! That extra USB port behind is very useful. I use it for my little fan when it is to hot.The sound of the keys are as normal as it could be for a mechanical keyboard and the rgb light, you can customise it within logitech software.

Bought this to replace my very cheap Zalman membrane keyboard and the difference is like going from night to day, it is very heavy and solid so it doesn't slide around when you are using it, same for the palm-rest which is well padded with high density memory foam and feels very comfortable. The GX brown tactile keys feel very responsive and I find the "click" sound to be quite satisfying and much quieter than I expected, on Discord I hear other gamers with much louder keys, some to the point of being really annoying. Overall it feels and looks like a quality product and the brushed aluminium face really sets the look off.If RGB is your thing then the software when I played around with it should cater for all your needs, it's not mine and I have all my RGB set to blue. Also the RGB is not as bright as found on some other keyboards but I prefer this more subdued lighting.You should also be aware that this is the UK layout and not the US layout as shown in some of the images. The main differences are the enter key is narrower and taller replacing the backslash key above it which is relocated between the Z key and the smaller Shift key. Some of the symbol keys are in different places. The symbols on the top number row appear below the numbers and are not illuminated as they are in the US version and the media keys in front on the function key row are not lit either. A big mistake on Logitech's part I feel, especially for software designers as these are the keys that are most used for programming. Also it doesn't have the full range of media keys that my Zalman had dedicated keys for but as I never bothered using those this wasn't a problem for me.Overall I am very happy that I purchased this keyboard, especially at this price point. I bought this on sale for £109 and a few days later they were selling for £74.99 and Amazon when contacted refunded the difference, that made it 1/2 the price of buying from Logitech directly so that was an added bonus. There are later models available with more features but I went with this model simply for it's looks and it does not disappoint.And lastly, if and when you purchase this keyboard you may find yourself wondering what that very strange threaded hole found centre rear on this keyboard is actually for!!! It looks like a tripod mount housing which will fit in there BUT WHY? It won't take any pictures. Actually this screw hole is vestigial. It was baked into the chassis design in anticipation of a feature that never materialized. It was going to be used for developer kits for the Logitech Bridge SDK. The idea was that using the HTC Vive Tracker, you could have a physical Logitech keyboard that gets reproduced virtually inside a VR environment, a project that has since been shelved or cancelled but the screw hole can still be found on some models from Logitech.

Very good quality and feeling when typing.

replaced my worn out G15 keyboard with this, i did really want another with a small LCD screen as the G15 had and was surprised at the lack of options from any manufacturer.So after much deliberation i went for this one, it is made to a very high quality, aluminum facia, mechanical keyboard, that are initially a little noisy and takes a few weeeks for the keys to soften slightly but they do stay a tad noisy, it doesnt really bother me as they are precise, feel solid actuation is well before full press is made.RGB options endless, it sets its self up for games you play lighting up percific keys you need when stood infront of senarios in game!I love itMy only gripe would be that secondary key markings dont light up, ie these @:~?><}{+_)(*&^%$£"!If you can get it for the price i paid you wont be disapointed :D
