G413 SE Full-Size Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

My Ducky One 2 decided to retire after just a couple years of service so was looking for a replacement but at a lower price point. Almost half the price and I like this keyboard better than the Ducky. I'm not gaming on it but working and it's perfect for that. Typing feels good and satisfying. Simple, wired, no gimmicky frame around the keyboard so its as compact as a full keyboard can get. It feels sturdy but not heavy. Not sure about the lighting, pretty sure the lifetime of the lights will be less than the switches so the fact you can't disable lighting or make it remember what you set last time is probably the only cons i can come up with. I like the sound of the switches too, it's pretty noisy so don't buy it for a bedroom you share with someone.

Let's start with the winner bits: Pros: * Key switches feel great for both typing and gaming * Aluminium top plate gives it a premium, sturdy feel * White LED backlighting is clean and easy on the eyes and the use of the (FN + F12) button for lighting changes is a cool touch. * No software required, just plug it in and go * Feels nice and weighty so it doesn’t slide around during use Cons: * No wrist rest included but not an issue for me personally * Keycaps feel slightly more “matte plastic” than premium * Backlight is single‑colour only (not adjustable beyond brightness) My personal experience: I picked up this keyboard as a replacement for my old Logitech G512 after I accidentally spilled a protein shake all over it. While this one doesn’t have fancy RGB lighting, I’ve actually come to appreciate its cleaner look and white backlight. The key presses feel noticeably smoother than my G512, and the click is more subtle, which I prefer for both work and gaming. Overall, it’s a solid step up in terms of typing comfort for me. I use the keyboard daily for work and evening gaming sessions with the boys, and it’s been consistently reliable since purchase. The typing feel is noticeably better than most keyboards I’ve had in the past, and the build quality is exactly what you’d expect from Logitech. It’s not flashy, but does the job when you need it. Verdict: Great choice if you want a sturdy, no‑BS mechanical keyboard with a satisfying typing feel. Ideal for work‑from‑home setups and casual gaming.

Gamer or not this keyboard is really good. The mechanical feeling and click gives it a sturdy feeling and the backlight is great addition. Highly recommend

I've been dancing with the idea of a Mechy Keebo for quite a while now. I've finally found this one at the right price point. Keys feel great to press and it just makes typing a lot more pleasant. Noise isn't so much more than my membrane. It's very sturdy and looks great.

Great keyboard. Just as advertised. Please be aware the backlit lighting is only white and not RGB capable.

This is my first mechanical keyboard as my previous gaming keyboard (a Razer v) was a membrane. This has a lovely tactile feel and the white backlight is subtle but effective. Overall I felt this was great value and very simple to get working on right away

A great typing keyboard, no real gimmicks, just a really nice feel when typing. Feels solid, and the backlight is great in low-light conditions.

I am not really sure if this is a true gaming keyboard but as an office keyboard it is excellent. The backlit keyboard is fantastic and allows you to see the keys even in poor light. The keyboard has a very nice feel to type with and is far superior to my previous keyboard.

This is a nice keyboard with a pleasant touch. The keys are backlit but if you have a Linux or dual boot system, you should be aware that turning off your computer from Linux will not necessarily turn your keyboard lights off.
