SeekerLogitech G213 Prodigy
The Logitech G213 Prodigy is a decent gaming keyboard. The rubber dome switches have a low actuation force that makes typing feel very light, but their high pre-travel distance makes the keyboard feel less responsive overall. It doesn't feel well-built and the backlighting is zone-lit instead of per-key. The function keys are macro-programmable, but there aren't any dedicated macro keys for MMO games.

Though the G213 Prodigy features a high-end rubber-dome switch, it’s not enough to overcome an exorbitant price, flimsy construction, and a massive footprint.

Although priced reasonably with customizable lighting, anti-ghosting, and configurable function keys, the Logitech G213 Prodigy Gaming Keyboard falls short for the hard-core gamer.

The Logitech G213 is a gaming keyboard that’s focused on delivering as many features as possible at budget-friendly price tag. It’s quite the package, with fully RGB backlit keys, dedicated media controls and endless software customisation.

The G213 impresses in several key areas: its mechanical-style typing action is robust and impressive, and it has good features for media playback and day-to-day use. Its build quality and lighting could both be better, though, and it’s physically larger than its rivals.
