Logitech G513

The Logitech G513 is an excellent keyboard for gaming. The tactile switches on our unit offer a light and responsive gaming experience. The frame is made of plastic and aluminum, which feels sturdy and doesn't exhibit any noticeable flex. It has RGB backlighting, which can be customized in the companion software. Unfortunately, the keycaps are made of ABS plastic that feels cheap and will attract oil from your fingertips. Also, while there are macro-programmable keys, they're dedicated to the function buttons only.

The G513 is another good product from Logitech’s gaming division. It uses a linear key switch, which has been used before and worked well.

The Logitech G513 isn’t a direct sequel to the incredibly affordable Logitech G413, but rather a mid-range keyboard with the best linear key switch.

Logitech’s G513 is more than an attractive, professional-looking keyboard. It’s also the debut of Logitech’s new Romer-G Linear switch, a Cherry MX Red-like switch that finally gives Logitech lovers some options.
