Logitech G413 Gaming Keyboard Review
Logitech G413 Keyboard Software – Using a mechanical keyboard can sometimes make people around you uncomfortable. Especially if you use a mechanical keyboard at work because the sound produced when you press the switch is very loud compared to generally quieter membrane keyboards. But the Logitech G413 keyboard is different. Equipped with a silent Romer G switch, this keyboard is perfect for use in the office without disturbing coworkers.
G413 Minimalist Design
The Logitech G413 keyboard is designed with a minimalistic aspect in mind without a case (naked). We feel that the advantage of this design is the ease when cleaning it because this gaming keyboard has minimal corners that have the potential to collect dust.
Logitech presents two versions of the G413 keyboard series: Carbon and Silver. The product unit that we are reviewing is the Carbon version. As the name implies, Logitech G413 Carbon is equipped with a texture similar to carbon material on the bottom. Even though it’s made of plastic, the bottom side of the G413 Carbon feels very solid and thick, with four layers of rubber on each corner that are useful for holding the keyboard in place when in use.
Like most keyboards, the G413 Carbon has a buffer that functions as a tilt-degree regulator. Even though the tilt-only has one angle, the G413 Carbon’s stand is so sturdy that it doesn’t wobble when we type. The keyboard keys are on a plate made of aluminum and magnesium, which can lift the aesthetic appearance of this keyboard.
G413 Features
In addition to being quite long, the connecting cable belonging to the G413 Carbon is also wrapped with nylon material, making it quite strong and anti-tangle. One unique thing about this keyboard is that the end of the cable has two USB connectors. Its purpose is to separate the power input and data lines. It means that users can connect the flash drive to the USB port on the right side of the keyboard. Apart from that, users can also connect a mouse or even charge the device. However, it would be even better if the port supported USB 3.0 so that data transfer would be faster.
For convenience, each end of the cable is specially marked to distinguish between power and data sources. Branching at the end of the cable is also made long, which is useful if the location of the USB port on the notebook or PC is far apart. Based on personal experience, the prongs of the cable ends still reach when we connect each end of the cable to the left and right sides of the 14-inch notebook.
The backlight of the keys on this keyboard is only one color, red. Carrying a single color can indeed be said to be different from many customizations on most gaming keyboards. However, depending on individual tastes, a single-color backlight can be interpreted as limited or simple.
Conclusion and Price
So, in conclusion, this keyboard is worth it at a price: of $69.99 (SALE) and has an official 2-year warranty. Maybe if you are an e-sports kid who often moves and brings your keyboard, this is not the right choice because the full size and the cable are not detachable, but if you are a homebody who rarely moves, we highly recommend this keyboard position.
If you want to further configure the G413 gaming keyboard, you can use the Logitech G HUB. With Logitech G413 software, you can set macro keys, lighting, keyboard profiles, and more.
