Logitech G213 Prodigy Gaming Keyboard - Wired RGB Backlit Keyboard with Mech-Dome Keys, Palm Rest, Adjustable Feet, Media Controls, USB, Compatible with Windows – Black

My old keyboard is a Logitech is a backlit K740. I really like this keyboard and I still do. It works great and since it's wired USB I never have to worry about constant battery replacement. The problem was that after years of use it's beginning to show its wear. So I came back to Amazon looking for the same model - don't do that. You'll find them for $300. Crazy! So, what did I do? I bought this Logitech G213 Prodigy keyboard. I like it. The keys are tactile and easily used. The keyboard will default to a crazy adolescent rainbow color program. This was the only thing that gave me pause but I'm getting up there in age and the eyes aren't like they used to be and I really needed a backlit keyboard. So, here's the solution: I'm not sure what you would need to do if you're on a Windows environment. You'll need to do your research. However, I'm on Linux Mint and found that two simple commands allowed me to set the keyboard color to white. For you Linux users just open a terminal and install the g810-led app. To set your keys to white, the command is: g810-led -a ffffff. That's it. If you want to adjust the brightness of the backlight, the option is -b followed by a brightness percentaage. So, if you want to set the backlight to white and the brightness to be not so bright then enter: g810-led -a ffffff -b 50 This sets the color to white and the brightness to 50%. Easy. You can also set the function keys to a different color than the rest of the keyboard or any number of other options. Or, you can just let it do its crazy rainbow color shifting psychedelic randomness. Bottom line, once I gained control of the colors and the brightness, the keyboard was absolutely what I needed. The keys do sit a tad higher than the 740. But they feel good. The print is large enough to easily see and not obnoxiously large. For the kids, the keyboard has a game mode that disables some keys so gaming is not interrupted. This is done with the push of one button. It has a 10 key pad on the right plus some nicely positioned keys that control computer sound as well as video controls. The backlight can be toggled on and off with one button. The keyboard looks like it's constructed well and of Logitech high quality. It's a handsome board. I will hang on to my 740 though like a well used favorite shirt. It will sit in reserve in the event I need another board. But for this one, the price was right and it fit my needs.

Pros ! It's a good keyboard for the money you pay. It is slim and quiet (it's a membrane keyboard) but precise when you type. It has a very fast response. It has RGB Backlight 5 zones I can work with that... actually, you can separate the size of the letters in 3 different color zones, which will help nothing wrong with that ! And this is just my personal preference. I love that the keys are digged in the board so no light leaks around the keys. I am not a fun of floating keys on top of the board. CONS : * NO Macrokeys That is the biggest con for me! I would love to have 6 macros programmable G Keys on my little finger. I used to have and used a G105 That was great... ( 9 years abused and heavily used :)) * Backlight Quality is inconsistent, Some keys letter are not uniform lighting, and if you would not know where the letter should be it gets hard to read... So for that reason, the backlight for 25 percent of the keys is totally unusable * The FONTS... well... maybe I am the fussy one but the Fonts, just can not stand with them. The arrow signs... bleah.. The small symbols are so poorly drawn.. if you don't know exactly where each symbols are on what key, it will be a challenge to find out what the symbols is...

Had it a few days and so far amazing. Maybe I have a bias because I came from a worn keyboard but compared to my last one it is a upgrade in every single way. Typing and gaming is good. It even has a game mode button that does a lot but my favorite is that windows key doesn't pop up windows so you can possibly use it as a extra keybind or atleast not open windows mid game on accident. Lightwight for its size and seems durable. LED's are easy to control and synce. All the audio buttons are comfortable, nice quality and additions on the top right actually come in super useful. The bottom comes out to support your hand more and makes it way more comfortable Loving it so far. UPDATE: After having this keyboard for a few months the only possible complaint I could make if I was being super picky are.1 LED are not the brightest.(More than bright enough for me) 2 The keyboard is bigger and takes up more space, ( I personally love it because of comfort.) 3 It's definitely not silent when typing but from my experience on the quieter side than most keyboards.

Perfect

Keyboard works well, love that you can have different sections be different colours helpful as a gamer been using this keyboard for a few months now and no faulty keys or connection issues. Wired keyboard.

في المجمل كويس ولكنه ليس ميكانيكل والبودي بلاستيك لكن كواليتي كويسة

I work a job that requires a lot of typing. I got it for work because I have tendinitis in one hand and am prone to my hands hurting. I’ve been using it for 2 years and it’s been amazing so I bought one for my home computer. The sound is amazing, not too loud but just enough to feel stimulating. The keys are buttery when they’re new but get better the more you break it in. The layout is also great in terms of spacing as I usually have long nails. It’s a massive keyboard so not a great option for limited space but I love the num pad.
