Product Information

This is the place to talk about Logitech G hardware and software, pro gaming competitions and our sponsored teams and players. My only concern here is the leatherette coating, which did cause some irritation during warmer weather. Both options use Logitech proprietary switches; the G512 is available with different GX switches, while the G513 uses Romer-G switches. G513 is a high-performance gaming keyboard featuring your choice of advanced GX mechanical switches. The Logitech's Romer-G and the Das Keyboard's Cherry MX Brown are both switches that provide tactile feedback, but the Romer-G has a shorter pre-travel and a lighter actuation force.

Managing Editor of Hardware at GamesRadar+, I originally landed in hardware at our sister site TechRadar before moving over to GamesRadar.Hardcore MMO and MOBA gamers may despair at the lack of dedicated macro keys on the G513, but setting up macros in the Logitech software is an easy process, even if you’re forced to find some unused (for gaming) keys to set them up. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. We encourage readers interested in this product to purchase under warranty directly from Logitech or an approved reseller and to contact Logitech support in case of any issues. It's also the debut of Logitech's new Romer-G Linear switch, a Cherry MX Red-like switch that finally gives Logitech lovers some options.

The Logitech G513 and the ROCCAT Pyro are wired gaming keyboards, but the Logitech has significantly lower latency. It's only available with linear Kailh Silver Speed switches, which have a very responsive feel that’s great for gaming. Overall it's pretty amazing thanks to its tank-like build quality, sweet lighting customization, and excellent switches. Cheaper mechanical keyboards regularly switch out the luxury grip and durability of PBT caps for a more cost-efficient material. Unlike some metal top plates, it's not a fingerprint magnet and the floating, matte black keycaps look great against the base.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Note: We've received community feedback that the blue-colored LED lights in this keyboard's backlighting may tend to fail sooner than other colors. This is an excellent choice for gamers, as it has customizable RGB backlighting, a comfortable wrist rest, and the tactile switches on our unit offer a light and responsive gaming experience. The Romer-G Tacticle and Linear feel pretty identical but I will say that the Romer-G Linear does feel slightly faster.
