Logitech G413 SE

The Logitech G413 SE is a great keyboard for gaming. It feels sturdy and well-built, and its latency is outstanding, so it feels responsive, even when playing fast-paced FPS games. The LED backlighting is bright, and the keys are easy to see in the dark. The PBT keycaps feel nice to type on, and the Long Hua Brown switches in the board have a short pre-travel distance and don't require too much force to overcome. With that said, the switches don't feel as smooth as more premium offerings, and you can't get the board in a different switch type or swap the switches out easily. Also, despite being a gaming keyboard, it's not compatible with Logitech G HUB, so you can't program macros or remap keys.

The Logitech G413 SE is a budget mechanical keyboard with a price of $79.99. But even for that price, it is so barebones that you may regret buying it.

The Logitech G413 SE is a decent, affordable mechanical gaming keyboard. It’s well built, offering a decent chassis, complete with metal top plate for added durability. Its Brown switches are responsive enough for both gaming and typing, and feel okay for general use, if a little inconsistent at times. The 6-key rollover is a little stingy compared to what other boards provide, while lack of software integration for any form of customisation is disappointing.

The Logitech G413 SE is one of Logitech’s weaker gaming keyboards, but the reasonable price makes it worth at least your passing consideration.
