It also has much better ergonomics because it offers two incline settings and includes a wrist rest. Most notably, the G513 takes advantage of Logitech’s LIGHTSYNC functionality, which is similar to Razer’s Chroma or Alienware’s AlienFX. Sleek Design: With aircraft grade brushed aluminium alloy, the top case of the gaming keyboard seals components with rugged protection with a high-end finish. If you'd like to share your experience using Logitech G HUB with this keyboard, feel free to leave a comment in the discussions section. As we previously mentioned, the Logitech G513 introduces a new customizable, per key RGB lighting system.

I also love the Logitech G LightSync technology which allows to customize individual keys to have its own RGB lighting. As usual with Logitech’s Gaming Software, you can also assign lighting and macros—the latter using a convenient drag-and-drop setup—to specific game titles.The Logitech G513 gaming keyboard's build quality is good and is very similar to the Logitech G512 Special Edition and Logitech G413. Logitech has designed the Romer-G to be a high performance mechanical gaming switch with faster and quieter actuation. Custom Function Keys and you can even save and export the profiles you create to share with other people. Thanks to Logitech’s Lightsync technology, the illumination of other compatible devices can be synced with the keyboards lighting.

Our biggest pet-peeve of reviewing keyboards with Cherry MX Red is they’re often not good for anything other than gaming and feel terrible to type anything beyond our Steam logins. However, with no onboard memory storage, macro options limited to the function row, and no dedicated media buttons, there are a few too many sacrifices to justify this full MSRP today. Unlike some metal top plates, it's not a fingerprint magnet and the floating, matte black keycaps look great against the base. We've added a disclaimer in the Backlight Features section of this review after receiving community feedback about the blue LED lights failing sooner than other colors.The HyperX Alloy FPS RGB is a better gaming keyboard than the Logitech G513, but the Logitech is more versatile and performs better for office use and mixed usage.

With a sleek slimline aesthetic, speedy response times, and comfortable wrist rest, there's still plenty going for the G513 in 2022. Larger keycaps, like the spacebar in particular, don’t suffer from wobble when you’re hitting one side of the bar.The Logitech G513 is a full-sized keyboard that eschews the bulky design all those keys often come with. During that time, I tested on Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Planet Coaster during standard everyday play (fine, I also dabbled in some Lawn Mowing Simulator), and stress-tested speed and response times in CS:GO as well.

That meant I was still able to get a good mouse swing in without sacrificing the number pad with a TKL board, or the spacing and extra functionality of a 60% or 65% model. We've added new tests for Single Key Latency, Multi Key Latency, Data Transmission, and Chord Split.

As I’ll discuss later, the Logitech Gaming Software is still the preferred means for tweaking presets, but it is nice to have some functionality on-the-fly via the function keys instead of needing to do it all in software. The memory foam quickly and fully recovers from pressure, so every use is as comfortable as the first. However, these keys are all proprietary, which means you won't be able to swap them out too easily and will likely be stuck with the oily residue that can quickly build up.
