was using cheaper versions before but have brought this in the black friday sale
very happy with purchase
the keys are crisp and presice the leds are a nice brightness
it syncs the led colour with my logitec mouse
the software is user freindly
I bought this to game on my Xbox, works really well for that, nice and responsive and the light level is nice for seeing the keys but not distracting me when doing a late night session. However, when using it on my computer for typing, the ergonomics of the keyboard aren’t great and it’s flaring my RSI slightly, so having to swap keyboards when working.
I received this in August 2022, and is still a fantastic, functioning keyboard. I haven’t noticed any changes in responsiveness/any lag since I first plugged it in. The Logitech app can be used to customise the LEDs and offers a nice range of options. However it is a rather large keyboard so I wouldn’t recommend to someone with a smaller space. Other than that it would be a great choice.
No user manual had to search online. Warning: Dont have standard and gaming keyboards on at same time. They conflict which I found out with a cheap gaming board. This is good, nice touch, quick response.
Build quality is great, feel solid and premium for the price. Keys are rigid and RGB are good. Definitely recommend for gamer or any users. Won’t disappoint. Worth the money.
I got this as it has backlit keys, whcih are a thing I like. It’s a keyboard – it works, there is not much else to say really! My only fault would be that there is no immediate option or ability to halt or alter the colour change which was kind of implied you could in the description – instead you need to download some controlling software.
Only complaint I have on this is the typing on the numpad feels akward, other than that all else is good.
Sound, feel, input latency. Plastic but at least somewhat of an arm rest.
Bought in Nov 2021 and it is still working very well. All the letters are still on the keys! Light changing is also working without a fault.
Well worth the money. Didn’t even realise it’s almost been 2 years 🙂
I also love it’s sturdy and doesn’t have this cheap light plastic feeling like some do.
But you can change the colours manually using the keys. Pressing the Light on/off key and zero allows you to cycle through the colours, and I just set it to one where I cannot hear the high pitched noise.
Light blue seems to be the one which causes the high pitched noise.
I would have given it five stars without the noise.
an all around nice quality logitech keyboard
pro-s:
good quality
soft backlight only on the keys
media keys
fairly quiet
con:
keys way too tall and small
extreme bright num-lock led
he keyboard is very good, feels nice and the lights work perfectly but, you can only change light sections, you can’t change different key colors which is a bit annoying.
The keyboard’s tactile response is superb, providing a satisfying clicky feel with every keystroke that has made my gaming experience even more enjoyable.
The G213’s dedicated media controls are an excellent addition, making it easy to control music and videos while gaming. The game mode feature is also helpful as it disables certain keys to prevent accidental interruptions during gameplay.
The customizable RGB lighting is a great feature that allowed me to personalize the keyboard to match my gaming setup, adding a touch of flair and making it even more visually appealing.
But after a few months, The “F” key became less sensitive. Has to press harder to get it work. Otherwise, it is a perfect keyboard to me.
its a mechanical feel membrane keyboard, feels great but you cant take off the armrest. box came with a tiny bit hit off. you can change the LEDs really well with the g hub app. only reason im picking 4 stars is because of damaged box but apart from that, everything is grea
The lighting is really nice, i had a logitech keyboard previously and the keys were awful, after attempting to remove and clean them there were little plastic teeth that held them in place that were breaking off plus the lighting was red only in colour. I downloaded the G-Hub software which allows you to customise this keyboard (macros and lighting and all sorts of things you can adjust).
I love the RGB lighting, you can make it do all kinds of effects.. yeah i know that some of the higher price gaming mechanical keyboards are all “singing and dancing” with crazy cool effects but for the price range this keyboard is great. I must state though that this isnt a mechanical keyboard BUT i personally think the build quality is really nice, the keys are smooth to type and quiet.
Only one thing i don’t really like would be the wrist rest, it’s rather large and not removable however it is not uncomfortable so im fine with it (just would have preferred a choice to remove if required)
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.
Firstly, I absolutely love the feel of the keys, they have quite a good amount of travel, are easy to press (but not too easy to the point of accidental keypresses). I think it even beats my Thinkpad’s keyboard, which is by no means an easy thing to do! They keys sit right in the middle of clicky and mushy, which I think is a good place to be. I don’t really game, so I use the keyboard for regular typing (which it’s an absolute dream for), but also when I’m producing music. The media keys are very useful here, as in most music software/DAWs, the play and stop keys are mapped to play and pause, which is so useful, as it means I have transport controls right at my fingertips. In REAPER, the fast forward/rewind keys are also mapped to the track select options, so you can select the next track in the song by pressing the buttons.
I disliked the G213’s software, as it seemed to update every 5 minutes, HOWEVER, I found a method online to change the light colours online which I now use: hold the light control button and press the numbers in the number row above the keyboard.
I love this keyboard. It feels nice to type on and is well built. The lighting is smooth and the brightness can be easily adjusted with GHub. I used it for working at home and use it regularly for competitive gaming. If you are looking for a clicky keyboard, this is not it, but if you prefer quieter, smoother keys then this keyboard is perfect. However, my spacebar is temperamental. During games I sometimes struggle to jump because I have to press hard and central (like I am now for typing) to use it. This product is sold by amazon prime so I’m sure I can get it replaced if I contact again (they are usually very good, it just wasn’t in stock last time I contacted support). I have seen that this is a common issue with this keyboard which is a little concerning but for me it is only one key and the warranty is 2 years so I’m not too worried about buying again. My dad also has the same keyboard and loves it, and has had no issues so far (I bought mine 09/20 and his 11/20). Overall, I recommend this keyboard, just keep this issue in mind.
Underneath all the lighting and software features, this thing is really nothing special. It’s a full board with rubber domes, at a price that slightly overreaches for its quality.
The upshot for this one is that the tactility allows you to really know when you’ve pressed a key – which is good for me, because I do loads of rapid copying, pasting and e-mail forwarding, which means palming the control multiple times every few seconds. The typing experience is similarly decisive, provided that you keep the pace up. Finally, the integrated wrist rest does actually do something to help with neutralising the angle of your hands, which is an absolute godsend if you don’t type with floaty hands.
On the downside, I have noticed mild scratchiness during more tentative keystrokes and the finish of the case is less than durable. I’ve had the board for half a year and my palms have already made an impression. My friend has one and he managed to jam his keys up by spilling a vodka drink into it, so the water resistance is particularly minimal as well.
Importantly, this does not interrupt your interface with the PC whatsoever and it stands a good chance of weathering moderate to heavy use.
I received this keyboard just yesterday and I must admit, this is the first keyboard I’ve had in years that I’ve fallen in love with! My typing speed has increased by a large margin and the feel of the keys feels so nice on the fingers, really awesome feeling keyboard.
The gaming button at the top right is kind of cool, but I barely use it as I don’t play intense games that would require me to be anywhere near the Windows Key. The layout is good, it’s your standard layout and typing on it feels very comfortable, but I will say the wrist rest is a bit small for my hands.
Though I love this keyboard, it does have some minor issues such as the Mute Button actually had gotten stuck so I had to disconnect it and reconnect it to my PC, only once I might add, and I had to restart my PC which was annoying and I was worried I had a defective unit. Thankfully, it was a one time thing and never happened again after I had done all that, though I feel the Mute Button could use some work to be less stiff.
Overall, it’s an amazing keyboard for the price and feels more like a keyboard you’d pay twice the price for!
Not forgetting, it’s not a Mechanical Key Switch Keyboard but it feels so much like one you could hardly tell the difference!
I recommend this is if you’re building a gaming set up on a Budget and need an affordable but amazing keyboard!
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 picky
Overall 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.
Anyway what you need to do is:
Hold the colour button then press a number. For example:
Colour + 0: Solid colour. Pressing colour + 0 cycles through different colours.
Colour + 1: Some wave pattern – not sure which one
Colour + 2: Some wave pattern. – not sure which one
Colour + 3: Some wave pattern – not sure which one
Colour + 4: Breath with one colour
Colour + 5: Cycle through all colours
Colour + 6-9: Nothing
No idea why this is not in the FAQs or any documentation online. Hope this has been helpful and surely this deserves to be the top review so more people learn about this.
The Logitech G213 is obviously budget when compared to the Corsair and it shows with the quality of the lighting which is quite basic. The G213 board is split into five lighting zones, basically it is five vertical strips equally spaced across the keys which can be customised (per strip) – so for example it is not possible to program the escape key as red with the WSAD keys another colour as they all appear in the same left hand strip. The Corsair on the other hand was fully customisable with any key being allowed to be any colour. (but the G213 is a third of the cost remember). Both keyboards illuminate the letters on the keys whilst the Corsair would also have a hue beneath the key, the Logitech shows no light from anywhere other than the numeral/letter printed on the key.
So, what I can say is that as an upgrade to a standard keyboard the G213 is reasonably priced and good value for money. It has some decent eye candy with the illuminated keys that can be programmed with some set routines to pulse with different colours, a breath effect (bright and dim slowly repeating) as well as a nifty screen capture effect where the keyboard mirrors what ever is on the screen (to a basic colour band obviously). The gaming mode will only disable a selection of keys with no other customisation, not even lighting. The Logitech software is very easy to use and far better in some respects than the Corsair equivalent but is limited as to the effects that you produce. As I mention earlier it is a shame that you can’t customise the WSAD keys to be different from the surrounding letters.
The effects of the colour waves etc are still quite good and do create a interesting lighting, and for the 40 odd quid it is quite acceptable.
To use the board, as in typing, is very good with a definite feeling that the key has been pressed. The noise is not too loud in my opinion (nothing light the cherry red’s of the Corsair which were like a ratchet clicking noise) and I really like that it is supposedly spill resistant (not tested this up to now so can’t comment on this).
The feeling of the board is decent quality compared to a standard board, nice finish on everything but it is slightly flimsy when pressing on the top outer bezel which makes distorting the whole board possible with a moderate press.
The volume control works well. I preferred the barrel volume of the Corsair but the simple button suffices.
Would I buy this board again?
For the cost of 42.00 (which is what I paid in 2019), I think it is good value and I would buy it again.
What did I like?
Logitech brand, for me has always produced some decent gear that seems to last. The quality is good for the price and the software is easy to use. The board is also comfy on the wrists and the keys have good feedback and noise. I’ve had a fair few bits of Logitech hardware over the years and never really been disappointed.
What did I dislike?
It is a shame that individual keys can’t be customised in colour, the banding arrangement seems a bit limiting with currently no downloads of lighting effects available (but that’s down to the lower cost of the board). One point that I can note as well is that the LED for the num lock, caps lock etc is white and seems far brighter than the rest of the board, shame it can’t be dimmed to reduce the way it stands out from the rest of the keys.
