Logitech G G213 Prodigy Gaming Keyboard, LIGHTSYNC RGB Backlit Keys, Spill-Resistant, Customizable Keys, Dedicated Multi-Media Keys, QWERTY UK Layout - Black

Dare I say that in my opinion, this is one of Logitech's best keyboards ever!I've had a few gaming keyboards during the last 6-7 years; From the Razer Huntsman V2 to Logitech 815 which I bought recently cause I adored it's slim design however both were disappointing, being more disappointed with the 815, which although being slim, it was also uncomfortable for me.I am using the 213 since 2020 and always kept it as a backup, thankfully! For me it is superior to every expensive mechanical keyboard I've ever owned. It is not mechanical, nor it performs in milliseconds like the more expensive ones , but it is comfortable and more than adequate for my gaming and typing needs.First of all a huge plus is the frowned upon palm rest on the bottom, which only very few mechanical keyboards have, yet is invaluable for me in terms of comfort, as the palm gets in the right position to properly engage the keys. I've tried buying aftermarket palm rests for the 815 but none worked properly due to it's slimline design. The Huntsman V2 had a magnetically detachable palm rest which was awesome.In addition to the palm rest the 213 has a superb sleek design. It is not tacky or gimmicky, but a rather seriously sleek and blocky design that integrates well in working environments as well as home. Coming in full black with a satin texture that gives it warm feeling touch. The keys are also well designed, having a slightly convex curvature, they 'hug' your fingers nicely without obstructing them while typing or gaming. The keys 'sit' (and are not pronounced above, as in most mechanical keyboards) on a wide all-round platform that adds a nice ergonomical form and great comfort in using the product. Yes it is a big keyboard and takes more estate on your desk than your average keyboard, but then again once you start using it, you will appreciate it's size and the comfort in using it.The build quality is superior for a keyboard at this price tag. This product has quality written all over it, I have been using this keyboard since 2020 and it hasn't failed or broken at all! No loose keys or hanging components, The 213 has been designed with quality and value in mind; very sturdy and long lasting product! The keys have a tactile feel although they do not use mechanical switches onboard. It is very quiet, you can type with it and have a person sleeping next to you and they won't notice the soft noise from the keys. It has RGB light functions for the key faces and connects to your pc via a USB cable. Also the media controlling keys and gaming mode switching key are welcome and useful additions.I can absolutely recommend the Logitech 213 as being ergonomically designed and very comfortable to use, well engineered in it's design, looks awesome and it is superb for everyday casual use; non competitive gaming and typing the odd email, your cv or even a novel. What's best? It offers all of these features without breaking the bank.So unless you want something that will perform in nanoseconds and you got the ability to realize non latency while you game and you're prepared to pay £££s for a keyboard, I'm absolutely recommending the Logitech 213 as a superb solution for your everyday needs.It's a shame Logitech don't make an upgraded version of this design with mechanical (Cherry) switches, it would absolutely dominate the market.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this keyboard to replace a much more expensive Logitech mechanical gaming keyboard I damaged. I've been using it heavily for the two months for gaming and so far I'm really pleased.The pros are that the material has a lovely soft feel to it. I like that it has a number pad, a gaming mode button, and pause, play, volume etc. keys which I use frequently. Despite not being a mechanical keyboard, it doesn't actually feel or sound too dissimilar, however the key presses are slightly softer and it's a little bit less noisy (see video for sound). It works well and I've not yet noticed any issues of unresponsive key taps.Ergonomically, the hand rest at the front is comfortable and stays on nicely; I've had no issues with it popping off like on some models. I would've liked a bit more keyboard to the left of the far left ctrl and shift keys etc. but most keyboards are similar in this regard.For really hardcore gamers or MMO players, it might not have all the additional keys you might like. You also cannot individually light up keys but it does light up in 1/3rd sections (which seems a bit pointless to me but others might like it!). You can amend the colours, brightness and lighting styles using the Logitech software which works well and is easy to use.Overall, it's a really good keyboard for gaming and general use, at a reasonably price point. I think I'd now struggle to justify the huge price jump for a high-end mechanical gaming keyboard after using this.

I'm a programmer and have had many mechanical keyboards over the past few years, the trouble with mechanicals being the expense, and best will in the world, occasionally accidents happen, having 2 kids, a wife and not being perfect myself the odd spill on my previous mechanical keyboards has eventually killed them and I've been through about 3 or 4 over the past 6 years.In contrast I recall having one of the first generation logitechs with the LCD panel at the top for about 5 years before, like a muppet, I melted the keys trying to wash them in boiling water.I've been using this keyboard for work the past few days, I touch type mainly, coding in php, delphi, mongo, sql, all sorts and the keyboard is FINE, it's not mechanical, but it's just dandy for gaming, coding, typing, I won't be gutted when my son spills something on it because it didn't cost close to £100, but the membrane is soft enough to allow me to type quickly and accurately.I still use my cherry at the office, it's more controlled over there, less chance of it being wrecked - but for here at home in the real world this keyboard is great for me :-)I picked up for £38, I'm not sure I'd be as happy paying £50 because you're very close to mechanicals there, my cherry was only £65.I'm not bothered for the lighting, the kids love it and when it's dark in the room it's handy but I'll never be setting up keys to be different colours! The fixed wrist rest is often complained about however because I tend to have the keyboard resting on my lap as I use it this actually helps with the stability, keyboards with detachable rests would often try and detach themselves as I pick up the keyboard from it's corner with one hand.The OCD in me wants to complain that the stop button isn't round, and that a scrolling volume would be nice but I'm being pickyOverall would recommend, I hope it lasts a long while because there's something quite nice about getting a lot of use out of something reasonably priced.
