Logitech G513 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Palm Rest, RGB LIGHTSYNC, GX Brown Tactile Key Switches, Brushed Aluminum Case, Customizable F-Keys, USB Pass Through, QWERTY UK Layout - Carbon/Black

Product Information

The G513 comes with a nice wrist rest, but the G815 has dedicated media controls, dedicated macro keys, and onboard memory. The Logitech G513 and the ROCCAT Pyro are wired gaming keyboards, but the Logitech has significantly lower latency. The change has brought this keyboard in-line with other high-end mechanical boards in terms of vibrant, customizable RGB light shows. While this obviously maintained the keyboard’s small form factor – the Corsair K70 LUX RGB is larger thanks to an extra row of media controls, for instance – the Cooler Master MasterKeys MK750 and MSI Vigor CK80 both have proven you can have shortcut keys while still having a frameless design. We've also introduced a new Raw Performance usage and adjusted how the Gaming and Office usage scores are calculated.

The HyperX Alloy FPS RGB is a better gaming keyboard than the Logitech G513, but the Logitech is more versatile and performs better for office use and mixed usage. The software will scan your PC and look for compatible games, so the setup is fairly straightforward and simple. This is an excellent choice for gamers, as it has customizable RGB backlighting, a comfortable wrist rest, and the tactile switches on our unit offer a light and responsive gaming experience. The Logitech G513 is an upgraded version of the Logitech G413 that includes a wrist rest and full RGB backlighting.

You can customize the RGB backlighting and program your macros from here, and create unique profiles to suit your needs. Thanks to Logitech’s Lightsync technology, the illumination of other compatible devices can be synced with the keyboards lighting. There are some slight differences in the pre-travel distance and operating force, but it's fairly minor and shouldn't be noticeable to most people.

The brushed aluminum deck has a pleasant, textured finish that adds a sophisticated look to the overall package. As usual with Logitech’s Gaming Software, you can also assign lighting and macros—the latter using a convenient drag-and-drop setup—to specific game titles. PayPal Credit and PayPal Pay in 3 are trading names of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH. A full-sized keyboard for those who still want a streamlined desktop, the long, skinny form factor of the Logitech G513 keeps the full-size deck from feeling imposing. We've added new tests for Single Key Latency, Multi Key Latency, Data Transmission, and Chord Split.
