Logitech G213 Prodigy Wired RGB Gaming Keyboard - Black | Mech-Dome Keys, Palm Rest, Adjustable Feet, Media Controls, LIGHTSYNC RGB, USB, Compatible with Windows

The speed, weight, response times, and stability of this keyboard are all spot on perfection. The sound quality makes them almost silent but its an ok sound, not great, not bad. The keys themselves are lacking in durability, I removed a few key caps (yes I did it the right way) to see if I could put some other keycaps I had purchased over them to improve both the sound and feel but not only did I figure out the bottoms of the keys are some type of odd proprietary modification on the bottoms which made the keys unable to be switched out for almost any half decent replacement. The keys themselves also scraped slightly each time one was removed which is very odd with how little force they take to come off, like they were made to be a bit flimsy. It seems like decent value for money, a better, slightly less compatible, slightly flimsier keyboard, with less keys but costs $50 dollars less than the competitors. Edit: Best keyboard I have ever owned, no keyboard has ever felt this right, I felt the same way with the Logitech mouse I got and it seems you really can't go wrong with high rated, high end Logitech products. Still not happy with the compatibility issues with most key caps but I wouldn't wish a different keyboard on anyone with the feel, sound, and reaction time. I really hope this keyboard lasts. Edit 2: I keep spilling pop on this, at a certain point it feels like I perform magic tricks bringing this keyboard back from the pop covered depths of despair I put it through. Idk how it even still works but not only does it still work, none of the key's stick... mostly. A few stick but I'll fix that mountain dew flavored problem soon enough. Just have to pull off the keys with the plastic keyboard puller of doom and get down in there with a few of those lovely ear cleaning tips you can buy at any back ally store. I didn't even do it that well, just used regular ol water on the que tips and scrubbed each. Then clicked each key about 200 times and it's good to go. Ps. I left it connected and in internet explorer, I am truly mad.

My old keyboard is a Logitech is a backlit K740. I really like this keyboard and I still do. It works great and since it's wired USB I never have to worry about constant battery replacement. The problem was that after years of use it's beginning to show its wear. So I came back to Amazon looking for the same model - don't do that. You'll find them for $300. Crazy! So, what did I do? I bought this Logitech G213 Prodigy keyboard. I like it. The keys are tactile and easily used. The keyboard will default to a crazy adolescent rainbow color program. This was the only thing that gave me pause but I'm getting up there in age and the eyes aren't like they used to be and I really needed a backlit keyboard. So, here's the solution: I'm not sure what you would need to do if you're on a Windows environment. You'll need to do your research. However, I'm on Linux Mint and found that two simple commands allowed me to set the keyboard color to white. For you Linux users just open a terminal and install the g810-led app. To set your keys to white, the command is: g810-led -a ffffff. That's it. If you want to adjust the brightness of the backlight, the option is -b followed by a brightness percentaage. So, if you want to set the backlight to white and the brightness to be not so bright then enter: g810-led -a ffffff -b 50 This sets the color to white and the brightness to 50%. Easy. You can also set the function keys to a different color than the rest of the keyboard or any number of other options. Or, you can just let it do its crazy rainbow color shifting psychedelic randomness. Bottom line, once I gained control of the colors and the brightness, the keyboard was absolutely what I needed. The keys do sit a tad higher than the 740. But they feel good. The print is large enough to easily see and not obnoxiously large. For the kids, the keyboard has a game mode that disables some keys so gaming is not interrupted. This is done with the push of one button. It has a 10 key pad on the right plus some nicely positioned keys that control computer sound as well as video controls. The backlight can be toggled on and off with one button. The keyboard looks like it's constructed well and of Logitech high quality. It's a handsome board. I will hang on to my 740 though like a well used favorite shirt. It will sit in reserve in the event I need another board. But for this one, the price was right and it fit my needs.

Totally love this keyboard and the lighting is awesome. Works great paired with g502 wired mouse. I chose wired for both keyboard and mouse because there basically no latency. Perfect for gaming and perfect for everyday use. Easy to pop keys out to clean underneath and so far have no issues whatsoever.

the g213 is by far the best kybd i've ever used and i've been in the 'puter industry since the 70's! most of the reviews attest to the brilliance of its design and feel. i get it. ooh, let me add, a gamer i'm not, k, but the razor cynosa and a red dragon boards i had over the previous 10 months, can't begin to compare. in fact, the cynosa already started to show some wear on the shift and ctrl keys - poor. also, razor software support is horrific! so back to the g213's issues and i'm now on my third in less than 6 weeks. problem 1) it will not illuminate during bios boot just prior to the win10 login screen. yes, i've tried the light button but when you press that during a boot, it only leads to - problem 2) after a light button press during a boot, the kybd remains dark forever. yes, FOREVER! doesn't matter if lightsync/g-hub software is running or not, reboot or not. in fact, lightsync is not a real-time app. it simply shows your last configuration. the fix is to unplug and re-plug, then all's well again. problem 3) the latest release (09 '21) of lightsync/g-hub has a confusing if not outright difficult user interface. worse, they have not updated their online user guide, so u've gotta tough it out on your own. this is especially true if you use "freestyle" which supports zone lighting. problem 4) when viewing the kybd at an angle, there are lighting hotspots that are noticeable through the keys. yes, this is a nit but becomes somewhat annoying after hours of use. . . . and that is why it only gets 3 stars. now the brilliance part - oh what a kybd! the keys feel great and u have color ONLY where it's needed. 1) the colors are great. u have 17m of them but don't expect a lot of color accuracy. the lighting can be adjusted with the app. what i like most is that the colors do not bleed through under the keys. the keys illuminate including shift characters and nothing else. what a joy! this should be standard for all kybds - what gives?!! 2) the kybd is divided into 5 lighted zones. these zones are chosen arbitrarily but are ok for my use. the numeric section on the right along with the media keys above it, are a zone; the print key section including the arrow/cursor keys below are yet another zone, and the remaining fn and type keys are divided into the remaining 3 zones. very nice. 3) there's a default setting when initially plugged in but if the light key is pressed and held while pressing a numeric key (0-9), other options appear. why this info is not in a user guide is beyond my thinking, as it's especially nice to know should one have no interest in the lightsync/ghub app. while not noise free - it's very quiet and if you type softly, noise is barely perceptible. an experienced typist should expect some audible feedback - that's subjective. hopefully logitech will have a fw update that fixes my bios boot issue, cause for those rare times when some bios configuration is required, u'll need a flashlight. yes, it's possible that behavior could be a personal problem but i've tried 3 boards and no change. i have kept the last one (see UPDATES) and returned the others to amazon. one other point, the serial number on the g213 box does not match the serial number on the actual g213 kybd inside; not sure who's doing the packaging but that's just weird. don't really use the wrist-rest and could care less but it doesn't get in the way and frankly it's a bit of a plus. many have written about key problems especially, the space bar. i can only hope it's a low percentage problem (see UPDATES). i've only had this for 2 days now but will likely buy again, if i must. it just feels and looks that good in the dark. 1st UPDATE (2nd g213): so it's been about 10 days now and yes, these kybds (2) have some issues. 1) it does not light prior to the win 10 os load when booting. (2 different kybds now) 2) some combo key presses (ctrl+shift+m) are hit and miss. this was a defect with the kybd. i suspect they have an engineering problem with some m-boards. if i shutdown with the kybd turned off, it will not light again after a reboot. the work-around is persnickety and i will call support. btw, they're quite responsive. 2nd UPDATE (3rd g213): 1) i'm becoming more convinced that the g213 has difficulty with the msi z490-pro m-board. all 3 exhibit the same no-illumination bios boot behavior after the initial use. 2) these kybds do have quality issues as all 3 had different behaviors with illumination. at least this last one seems to be recoverable. when the lights do not come on after a button press. the g-hub sw usually fixes the problem. 3) my 2nd kybd did have a combo key press defect with ctrl+shift+m keys and the need to be unplugged for several minutes before lighting. this one works much better but still no lights during the bios boot phase.

Honestly a horrible keyboard. It feelss okay at the start, or at least it did for me. It seemed just fine, lightweight, looks pretty, has a numpad and fold out pegs for elevation. The issue comes with this blasted mech-dome style. The membrane on the inside of the keyboard isn't secured as well as it probably should be and as a result if the keyboard is flipped upside down, or even jostled wrong the membrane becomes misaligned and it becomes extremel hard to type sometimes resulting in dropped or repeated inputs. I'm going to be leaving any typos resulting from the keyboard acting up like another user did just to show how annoying it can be sometimes. It actually feels like it's behaving pretty well for this review. Being a keyboard kinda meant for gaming it feelss horrible to play with when you get a dropped key while trying to play something that requires precise inputs or at a minimum requires inputs to not fail whatever task you're preforming. I play a lot of games and to put it bluntly it is beyond frustrating because it will happen at the worst possible time to the worst possible key. I've had other Logitech keyboards that don't preform this poorly, and this isn't even an issue with breaking it, it was like this out of the box. I've had to take it apart multiple times to realign the membrane which means the stoppers on the bottom are just permanently removed. I can't be bothered to continue putting them back on and taking them off every single time I have to reposition the membrane.

I bought one of these in 2018 and I accidentally got something under one of the arrow keys that I couldn't get out, which made it work unreliably without pressing the key unusually hard. I liked it before that so I bought a replacement of the same model for when my keyboard finally stops working. I've had the replacement for months and the original is still going, so whatever, at least I'm ready for when it does break permanently. I'm writing a review now because I was looking at the box and noticed the serial number on a sticker, so I decided to check it against the serial number on the keyboard itself and found that they don't match. They're close, but off by one digit. The product seems genuine, not a counterfeit, so I don't think it really matters - it's just peculiar. Otherwise, love this keyboard.

it’s been a fantastic addition to my gaming and working setup. Here’s what stands out: 1. Incredible LIGHTSYNC RGB Lighting The RGB backlit keys are vibrant and customizable, offering a wide range of colors and effects that sync perfectly with my games. The lighting adds a dynamic touch to my desk setup and creates an immersive gaming atmosphere. 2. Comfortable Typing & Gaming Experience The keys have a tactile, soft feel to them, which is perfect for both gaming and general typing. The full-sized layout, along with the integrated palm rest, makes long gaming sessions more comfortable and reduces hand fatigue. 3. Responsive and Fast Performance This keyboard has excellent responsiveness. The anti-ghosting technology ensures that all my keystrokes are registered accurately, even during intense gaming moments. The keys are quick and snappy, which has made a noticeable difference in my gameplay. 4. Spill-Resistant Design As someone who keeps drinks near my gaming rig, I love the peace of mind this spill-resistant design offers. I’ve already had one close call, and the keyboard handled it without any issues! 5. Easy Customization with Logitech G HUB The Logitech G HUB software is straightforward to use, allowing me to program function keys, adjust lighting profiles, and set up macros effortlessly. It’s a great tool to personalize my keyboard exactly how I want. 6. Great for Both Gaming and Everyday Use Whether I’m deep in a game or typing out documents, this keyboard delivers consistently. It’s a solid all-around performer that transitions seamlessly between work and play. 7. Fantastic Value For the price, the G213 Prodigy offers premium features typically found in more expensive keyboards. The build quality, performance, and aesthetics make it a great value for any gamer. Overall, I highly recommend the Logitech G213 Prodigy Gaming Keyboard for anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and visually stunning keyboard that enhances both gaming and everyday use!

Had it a few days and so far amazing. Maybe I have a bias because I came from a worn keyboard but compared to my last one it is a upgrade in every single way. Typing and gaming is good. It even has a game mode button that does a lot but my favorite is that windows key doesn't pop up windows so you can possibly use it as a extra keybind or atleast not open windows mid game on accident. Lightwight for its size and seems durable. LED's are easy to control and synce. All the audio buttons are comfortable, nice quality and additions on the top right actually come in super useful. The bottom comes out to support your hand more and makes it way more comfortable Loving it so far. UPDATE: After having this keyboard for a few months the only possible complaint I could make if I was being super picky are.1 LED are not the brightest.(More than bright enough for me) 2 The keyboard is bigger and takes up more space, ( I personally love it because of comfort.) 3 It's definitely not silent when typing but from my experience on the quieter side than most keyboards.

Perfect

I can't believe the poor quality of this Loiech keyboard. As I write this review I'm going to leave all the mistakes and letter keypress fails as is. I owned a 213 (as you can see so far, the letter g (had o press twice) and the letter t don't always reister) previously for many ears and loved it. I sent the firs brand new keyboard back because not only did some keys not reister a all but sometimes, certain specific keys entered as 2 keystrokes. Te nice, qualiy braided cable has been replaced with a cheap plasic/rubber one. I don't know whha Loitech is hinking. I have for many years exclusively purchased Logiechh because of he awesome quality, even thou it costs more. I thhink that's about to chane. Not recommended. Just to be clear, I don't hunt and peck for kepresses. I touch-ype. I wrote this review slowl and made sure to press e keys properly. Every spelling misake due to missing and double pressed letters in this review is the result of this ver poorly made keyboard that I'm now going to return. Also, his is being ped on the replacement for the 1st one I ordered which was equally bad. Shhame on Logitech! Las comment: I almost never write poor reviews. I'm not a complainer but this keyboard (and its replacement) is horrible. UPDATE... It’s been a couple of weeks since the above review. When I received the 2nd keyboard and it was just as bad as the first, I decided to contact Logitech directly to see if this was a known problem or if there was a recall on the keyboards. The Tech Support rep was surprised to hear my story and said that Logitech was unaware of ongoing issues with the G213 Keyboard. Rather than return the 2nd keyboard to Amazon and perhaps get a 3rd defective keyboard, I took Logitech up on their offer to send it directly to them for a replacement. It took a couple of weeks, but when the transaction was completed, I received a brand-new keyboard direct from Logitech and this one works perfectly. I’m once again a Logitech fan. A couple of notes about buying on Amazon. I don’t know exactly how things work between Amazon and its suppliers, but I don’t believe the original 2 defective keyboards came from Logitech per se. The replacement I received directly from Logitech came in a sealed box and the keyboard itself was wrapped in a cellophane type of material. I don’t remember that being the case with the 1st keyboard purchased from Amazon. It’s possible that it was a return or even a refurbishment. When I got the 2nd defective keyboard through Amazon, it wasn’t even in a box, it was just thrown in a shipping container with some bubble wrap. It was most likely returned by another customer because it was defective and the supplier just shipped it out to the next customer. Perhaps this whole ordeal wasn't a reflection on Logitech at all. This new keyboard is perfect.

في المجمل كويس ولكنه ليس ميكانيكل والبودي بلاستيك لكن كواليتي كويسة

I don't need a complicated keyboard, and the G213 is about as good as it gets at an affordable price. Aesthetically, its simple all black design is perfect. It has the right amount of RGB for my preference with the letters/characters of each key lighting up rather than a full back light which can be visually distracting to me. Despite being an all plastic build, it's sturdy enough for everyday use; I've seen many YouTube reviewers citing low quality materials used and flimsy build, but I don't see any of those problems, and no reasonable person will forcefully try and twist the keyboard just to prove a point. Typing on the G213 is satisfying enough. Its key press pressure is light, and while I prefer slightly heavier pressure, I'm used to them now. The clicks are shallow and light, and probably not as satisfying to listen to as a pricier mechanical keyboard. The RGB is on the weaker side, which I don't mind at all. The G203 is much brighter than the G213, so I lowered the G203 brightness and increased the G213 brightness and it looks fine to me. Being a budget keyboard, the uniformity of the RGB is spotty, especially when looking down from an angle, which is all the time, but not a deal breaker for me. I bought the G213 with the G203 mouse during Amazon's Black Friday sale, and am happy with both products. They both use Logitech's G Hub, which for all intents and purposes is much too large a program (if I recall, 500+MB? I could be wrong) to control a few Logitech peripherals. I mentioned in my G203 review that upon start-up the RGB desyncs from my preferred settings, and I have to reset the dynamic lighting in order for keyboard and mouse to breathe in sync, and may randomly throughout the day desync for no reason, which is a minor annoyance to rectify, but may become a frustration if I have to keep doing it in the long term.

Excellent product for use 8 hours a day
