Review Logitech G413 SE Review: Too Basic for $80

[Admin]

The Logitech G413 SE is the company's newest mechanical keyboard geared towards a budget-friendly market, but its lack of features compared to its less-expensive predecessor makes you wonder why it exists.

There is something to be said about NOT having all those features. Many of us hate rgb, braided cables, fancy extras. This would be a an ideal keyboard if it had red switches with no noise imo.

This is actually not bad, considering the limited amount of available Romer-G keyboards out there, and it's tame enough to work as a writing keyboard too. I can understand if this specific keyboard is a bit louder than others, because of the budget oriented nature AND aluminum (I had a similar really old school Corsair one, still loved it), but the keys are pretty solid it seems.

It would be a tough purchase outside of that strict segment though, but if I was searching for a mechanical keyboard for work that had to look professional and would not break the bank, this would be it.

Literally the best switches unless you prefer clicky ones (which I do). I can understand not liking the company, but these switches and

These are pretty noise-less, with the exception of keys with stabilizers.

They're not quite reds, they're more like browns, but not quite, they're softer. If you haven't tried them, give them a shot.

I'm a strict cherry blues person, but these are good enough to be daily drivers, even for serious work.

I used to love reds before I moved to blues for sound-driven strokes, but I still can't do typing on reds without serious mistakes, these don't have those issues.

I have had many logitech keyboards in the past and have hated every single one of them. I have a little WifTech Chinese manufactured keyboard with brown switches and it’s fantastic and it was $80. It’s even better than the expensive razor keyboard that I bought years ago. Rosewill is the company that puts these together using the Chinese parts. They are actually really nice little keyboards

My spare keyboard is a Logitech G910, with RomerG. I only stopped using it as I felt like something new. No complaints.
Using a Corsair K70 mk2 now. RGB not necessary but backllighting is.

in last 20 years I have had a about 5 Logitech, one Microsoft Gaming keyboard (was good), one Razer (technically 2 but 2nd was a factory replacement of first), and now a Corsair.
Sidewinder X6 was favorite but it wasn't mechanical. Everything since it has been.

It seems like the author of this article didn't even try this keyboard, but just used information about the previous model.

For example, he claims that this model has RomerG switches (like the previous model), but this model has Long Hua switches (made by Keilh). They are almost identical to normal Keilh switches (except the lower rating of 50M presses max), and very different compared to RomerG.

I even e-mailed him about his error, but never got any reply. If he had really tested this product and lifted a keycap, he could have never made this mistake.
