Logitech G413 SE Full-Size Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Backlit Keyboard with Tactile Mechanical Switches, Anti-Ghosting, Compatible with Windows, macOS, QWERTY UK English Layout - Black

An all round awesome and simple mechanical keyboard that is completely free of annoying high pitched metallic switch pinging sounds. I've been trying to find a mechanical keyboard for years that doesn't have this sound. I've tried Corsair keyboards, SteelSeries, Razer, you name it, they all have this sound to some degree. This keyboard is an absolute must buy if you are looking for a mechanical keyboard that doesn't suffer from metallic pinging noises. It makes a huge difference when the only noise you can hear is the actual switch being pressed as opposed to having this awful high pitched noise in conjunction with it. Great job Logitech!

Fantastic keyboard, I use it every day as my daily driver and have had zero issues. Convenient 10 keys but this does make it slightly wider than those without.

Great for both working and gaming, good response while typing and playing. Buttons are easy to customise with Ghub.

I think it's fantastic. No RGB just plain white backlit, no software needed. Its simple and the keys feel great. Got this for £50 and I think you'd have to pay double to get a better one than this.

Amazing keyboard, for sure worth the price I paid. It has nice mechanical switches and is VERY easy to clean compared to every other keyboard I've used. I cannot really rate it for gaming as I miminally play games, not enough time to rate it for the time I play to give an honest review but it seems like it would be perfect. I use this for programming majority of my time and I love it. 5/5

If you're going to order this keyboard make sure to go with the 2nd generation as it offers decent mx style GX brown switches instead of those horrid romer-g switches. The GX browns have decent stability and don't wobble as much as my previous Outemu switches but are a little bit scratchy. The scratchiness isn't anything near when compared to my old Outemu brown switches. The switches have minimal pinging noises when actuating or resetting and are decently quiet compared to the Outemu. My only complaint is the speed of the switches. These are pretty slow and heavy when compared to most of the other brown switches which makes rapid repeat presses slower.You can lube these gx brown switches with little bit of superlube 41160/0 and make them a lot better, virtually removing the scratchiness and greatly improving the feel. Plus it adds that wet thonk sound which is a nice addition. I'm currently running the switches without lube as I feel that they are good enough as they come buy will surely do it in the future when I get bored of the feel of the switches.The keyboard base isn't as solid as some of my other cheap metal frame keyboards with plastic key surrounds but in return you get much easier cleaning.3 of the key backlights sometimes dim by themselves and you have to press the key a few times to fix them. The backlight is controlled via on board only with 6 different presets but this keybaord won't work in Logitech software as probably to cut costs to make it more budget friendly.The ergonomics of the keyboard could do with some improvements as I feel like they could of added half of a centimeter to the height of the rear risers to vastly improve long session uses but it's easily fixable with something that doesn't slide under the keyboard.Keycaps are made with PBT which in general should more durable than ABS in keyboards at this price point. But in some cases higher end ABS keycaps that are manufactured with better manufacturing methods can be more durable than cheap PBT. Time will tell if these keycaps last.All in all for the price I got it at which was £50 I'd say it's decent budget mech keyboard with good budget switches. But you can spend £20-30 more on keyboards with hot swappable switches which greatly improves the longevity as you can buy a couple of replacement switches and never have to worry about throwing out a whole keyboard because one switch decided to start acting up.***If the keyboard didn't have the common fault of dying LEDs for the backlight this would be a 4 star product.

great keyboard, I don't want it in all rainbow colors so this one suits me perfectly !! Solid keyboard.

This review is for the Logitech G413 SE keyboard with white backlighting.When you first pick this keyboard up, the weight makes you think it's a solid, well-built keyboard. When you press the keys, you realise all the attention went into the base. For reference, my other PC's keyboard is a branded Cherry keyboard with no fancy features, just good solid keys. I am a veteran software/game developer with 4 decades of keyboard use behind me, so I am used to many different keyboard types.The first thing you notice when you press the Logitech keys, is how unstable and flimsy they feel. There is an unpleasant amount of lateral movement, making the keys feel like they are mounted on a stick in a bucket, there's no solidity at all. On the one I have, pressing the W key all the way down causes a grinding/clicking feel at the bottom. This isn't something you notice with normal typing but this is a gaming keyboard, W is one of the most commonly used gaming keys and you typically press and hold it. You feel like the key is about to break under constant pressure, it's not a reassuring feel at all.The problem with normal typing on the keyboard is that the switches don't feel that good to type on, they feel kinda mushy. But that may just be subjective considering I am coming from a very good branded keyboard that has free-moving keys... which cost less than this keyboard I might add. Maybe Logitech thinks gamers don't care that much about key quality... maybe they have forgotten that not all gamers just play games on their PC.Feature wise, the lighting is just white and has five visual options switchable with a key combination (FN + F12). The chosen option is forgotten when you switch off the PC, so you have to reset it every time. The keyboard isn't supported by any Logitech software either, so there are no software options to remember the setting. I don't understand how their mice can support on-board profiles but their keyboards can't remember a single display setting. It is also worth noting that the multi-media symbols on the keys are not back-lit and given their not-so-bright print colour and them being on the front of the key not the top, it can make them hard to see in reduced lighting.In conclusion, even at the reduced price I bought this keyboard at during Black Friday, it is overpriced. It is no good having a heavy, brushed-aluminium base when the key's switch quality is sub-par. You have to get the essentials right and to me, this keyboard just doesn't. Opinions will vary based on what you are used to but for me, this isn't a keyboard I would recommend at all.
