Logitech G413 TKL SE Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Compact Backlit Keyboard with Tactile Mechanical Switches, Anti-Ghosting, Compatible with Windows, macOS - Black Aluminum

The Logitech G413 TKL is a tenkeyless mechanical gaming keyboard designed for gamers and typists alike, offering a compact layout without sacrificing performance. With a sturdy aluminum alloy construction, it aims to provide durability and a sleek aesthetic. My overall satisfaction with the G413 TKL is a solid 4 out of 5. This keyboard presents a good balance between quality and affordability, making it a great choice for those on a budget. Color: The G413 TKL is limited to a single-color option—Carbon—which may not appeal to users looking for more customization. While the understated design fits well in most setups, some might desire a bit more variety. Buttons: The keyboard features Romer-G mechanical switches that deliver a tactile feel and are rated for 70 million keystrokes. The key presses are responsive, making it enjoyable for both gaming and typing. However, I found the sound of the keys to be somewhat lacking, as they don’t provide the satisfying click that some users expect from mechanical switches. Value: In terms of value, the G413 TKL stands out as a budget-friendly option. It offers solid build quality and performance without the hefty price tag of some premium keyboards. For those who want a reliable mechanical keyboard without breaking the bank, this model is a strong contender. Compatibility: The keyboard is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems, offering flexibility for various users. It connects via USB, ensuring a straightforward setup without the need for additional software. Functionality: The G413 TKL includes customizable function keys and anti-ghosting technology, enhancing gameplay and productivity. However, the lack of RGB lighting might deter those who enjoy vibrant keyboard backlighting. In summary, the Logitech G413 TKL is a commendable budget keyboard that excels in build quality and functionality but falls short in sound and color options. If you’re looking for a reliable mechanical keyboard that won’t empty your wallet, this might be a good fit. Just keep in mind its limitations regarding sound and aesthetics.

(black G413 TKL SE) No, this isn't a true budget mechanical (there are plenty of $25-$40 no-name mechanicals out there), though it's about as cheap as you'll find a true mechanical from a major brand-name maker. ...however, it's better made, with nicer materials, fit-n-finish and better key feel than the cheaper 'boards I've used and at a price that's still within reach for most gamers (or folks who just prefer the feel of mechanical over membrane). This "SE" version of the G413 was purchased to replace my first gen. G413, which suffered a failed W key after three years of nightly gaming use. The SE has better key action and a more solid key feel than the earlier version, it also has more texture on the key cap surface and touts a new key cap material (this is a welcome upgrade, as I was starting to see the paint wear off around letters on my WASD keys on the OG version). The "board"/deck of the keyboard is similar to the older version, which is to say it's very solid and well made, but the SE forgoes the USB port and dual cable of the original, it also doesn't show up as a recognized device on Logitech's G Hub software anymore. Key feel is a personal preference, so my 5 stars may be your 1 star... I'd call these switches a blending of a Cherry brown and blue switch as far as character: they're sprung stiffer and have a more noticeable break point than a brown switch, but aren't as firm or crisp as a blue and more importantly, are as quiet as a brown switch, overall a very pleasant compromise in my book. If anything, I'd say they have a more solid feel than even genuine Cherry switches and easily best the first gen. Logitech mechanical and Chinese Cherry-esque switches in feel and solidity. I love this keyboard for the fact that it has a solid deck, good cable, great key feel and simple LED backlighting, I feel like it's a much better value than a no-name board for $30 less, or a top of the line name-brand board at up to hundreds of dollars more. Multi-color, per key programmable, flashing, color wave LED "features" add nothing to the gaming (or typing in subdued light) experience for me and I hate paying extra for stuff that I just have to figure out how to disable... Thanks Logitech! As far as TKL 'boards in general go, they're certainly not for everyone... I like TKL better than 60% (though I still miss my num pad) and it does still reclaim a sizeable chunk of real estate on my desk for mouse over-run compared to a full sized keyboard, which in my case is a real advantage in sweaty PvP gaming situations. Having directly accessible F keys and full size style arrow, del/ins, etc. keys is definitely worth the added width for me, but smaller desks or gaming only rigs might still be better with 60%, YMMV.

For $50, you don't get much better than this. The keyboard has a sleek, eye-catching design featuring bright white LED backlighting. The switches are quite nice to type on and give that satisfying feeling when either typing or gaming, and the keycaps also feel quality. As far as noise goes, it's not too loud and I think it sounds nice when typing. This is not the most premium board and you get what you pay for. But for the price you do pay, I think it's a great deal.

I bought it as a gift for my sis ans she loves it. Its a mechanical keyboard which can be perfect for gamers

¡Bastante bueno! No hace mucho ruido, es un muy buen teclado mecánico para alguien que quiere empezar a acostumbrarse a ellos; los switch son similares a unos brown.

Buen teclado llevo ya no se cuanto y sigue como nuevo, no lo recomiendo para diseñadores porque no son muchas teclas

The size of this keyboard is big for gaming. The layout is not suitable for gaming in my opinion. It is long. However the material is good.

Nice, compact, but not crowded design for those of us who just want a regular layout without the numpad. Uses brown switches, a detail Logitech seems to hide for whatever reason. Whatever. It's a good product: keyboard is sturdy (top plate is metal), tactile feel is good, easy to clean, backlight intensity can be easily adjusted, and no garish RGB colours. It's slightly too loud for my taste, but that's fine for home office.
