G213 Prodigy Gaming Keyboard

Dare I say that in my opinion, this is one of Logitech's best keyboards ever! I've had a few gaming keyboards during the last 6-7 years; From the Razer Huntsman V2 to Logitech 815 which I bought recently cause I adored it's slim design however both were disappointing, being more disappointed with the 815, which although being slim, it was also uncomfortable for me. I am using the 213 since 2020 and always kept it as a backup, thankfully! For me it is superior to every expensive mechanical keyboard I've ever owned. It is not mechanical, nor it performs in milliseconds like the more expensive ones , but it is comfortable and more than adequate for my gaming and typing needs. First of all a huge plus is the frowned upon palm rest on the bottom, which only very few mechanical keyboards have, yet is invaluable for me in terms of comfort, as the palm gets in the right position to properly engage the keys. I've tried buying aftermarket palm rests for the 815 but none worked properly due to it's slimline design. The Huntsman V2 had a magnetically detachable palm rest which was awesome. In addition to the palm rest the 213 has a superb sleek design. It is not tacky or gimmicky, but a rather seriously sleek and blocky design that integrates well in working environments as well as home. Coming in full black with a satin texture that gives it warm feeling touch. The keys are also well designed, having a slightly convex curvature, they 'hug' your fingers nicely without obstructing them while typing or gaming. The keys 'sit' (and are not pronounced above, as in most mechanical keyboards) on a wide all-round platform that adds a nice ergonomical form and great comfort in using the product. Yes it is a big keyboard and takes more estate on your desk than your average keyboard, but then again once you start using it, you will appreciate it's size and the comfort in using it. The build quality is superior for a keyboard at this price tag. This product has quality written all over it, I have been using this keyboard since 2020 and it hasn't failed or broken at all! No loose keys or hanging components, The 213 has been designed with quality and value in mind; very sturdy and long lasting product! The keys have a tactile feel although they do not use mechanical switches onboard. It is very quiet, you can type with it and have a person sleeping next to you and they won't notice the soft noise from the keys. It has RGB light functions for the key faces and connects to your pc via a USB cable. Also the media controlling keys and gaming mode switching key are welcome and useful additions. I can absolutely recommend the Logitech 213 as being ergonomically designed and very comfortable to use, well engineered in it's design, looks awesome and it is superb for everyday casual use; non competitive gaming and typing the odd email, your cv or even a novel. What's best? It offers all of these features without breaking the bank. So unless you want something that will perform in nanoseconds and you got the ability to realize non latency while you game and you're prepared to pay £££s for a keyboard, I'm absolutely recommending the Logitech 213 as a superb solution for your everyday needs. It's a shame Logitech don't make an upgraded version of this design with mechanical (Cherry) switches, it would absolutely dominate the market.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Logitech G213 Prodigy Gaming Keyboard The Logitech G213 Prodigy is a fantastic full‑size gaming keyboard with LIGHTSYNC RGB, responsive keys, and a solid, comfortable typing feel. The lighting looks great on a desk setup, and the spill‑resistant design adds real peace of mind for everyday use. Media controls are a nice bonus, and overall it performs reliably for both gaming and productivity. Exactly as described and works brilliantly.

I'm a programmer and have had many mechanical keyboards over the past few years, the trouble with mechanicals being the expense, and best will in the world, occasionally accidents happen, having 2 kids, a wife and not being perfect myself the odd spill on my previous mechanical keyboards has eventually killed them and I've been through about 3 or 4 over the past 6 years. In contrast I recall having one of the first generation logitechs with the LCD panel at the top for about 5 years before, like a muppet, I melted the keys trying to wash them in boiling water. I've been using this keyboard for work the past few days, I touch type mainly, coding in php, delphi, mongo, sql, all sorts and the keyboard is FINE, it's not mechanical, but it's just dandy for gaming, coding, typing, I won't be gutted when my son spills something on it because it didn't cost close to £100, but the membrane is soft enough to allow me to type quickly and accurately. I still use my cherry at the office, it's more controlled over there, less chance of it being wrecked - but for here at home in the real world this keyboard is great for me :-) I picked up for £38, I'm not sure I'd be as happy paying £50 because you're very close to mechanicals there, my cherry was only £65. I'm not bothered for the lighting, the kids love it and when it's dark in the room it's handy but I'll never be setting up keys to be different colours! The fixed wrist rest is often complained about however because I tend to have the keyboard resting on my lap as I use it this actually helps with the stability, keyboards with detachable rests would often try and detach themselves as I pick up the keyboard from it's corner with one hand. The OCD in me wants to complain that the stop button isn't round, and that a scrolling volume would be nice but I'm being picky Overall would recommend, I hope it lasts a long while because there's something quite nice about getting a lot of use out of something reasonably priced.

Added this keyboard to my gaming setup alongside my Logitech mouse, headset, and camera, and it’s been brilliant. The keys feel quiet, fast, and tactile with great feedback for gaming. The integrated palm rest makes long gaming sessions super comfortable, and having dedicated media buttons and volume controls right at the top is incredibly handy. The customizable RGB lighting syncs up nicely with the rest of my gear. 5 stars!

I've been using this keyboard for over eighteen months now. The original item ordered developed an issue when the N key started becoming intermittently unresponsive. If I hit the key on the left or right of centre it would always work, but when I hit the key full-on, as I do because I touch type, it would frequently fail to give a response. I returned that keyboard for a refund and I ordered a replacement. This is the one that I've been using. I love it. After eighteen months of working from home there is simply no signs of wear and tear. All of the letters and numbers are intact except for a slight scratch on one of the keys which I caused myself. It just goes to show that keyboard manufacturers are able to prevent the letters from being rubbed off after a period of use.

Very good keyboard for the price. I bough it for my partner while I have a razer gaming keyboard but I have to say that these membrane switches are actually great. The noise is low, responsive and gives a great feedback while being very reasonably priced. Great product.

UPDATE: 13/11/22. Keyboard is dead... I have never used such an awful keyboard in my life. It is overpriced and built badly seeing as it failed after a few months. The keys only responded when the force of the sun was used, otherwise they would not respond at all. I do not want to use nor see another Logitech keyboard again! UPDATE: 11/11/22. This keyboard is awful and I will have to claim on the warranty. The spacebar has completely stopped working, and I have only had this rubbish for a few months. Is this what £27.99 (now retails for £42) buys you these days? I am now using a £6 HP from Argos and it works better. I expected better from Logitech. I have downgraded the rating from 4 stars to 1 star, and I do NOT recommend this keyboard! UPDATE: 06/11/22. This keyboard is acutally getting worse the more I use it. The spacebar now appears to be affected by the issues with not responding when pushed or inputting a double press. The E key is mostly consistently doing a double press now, and it is becoming increasingly frustrating. I will not be buying any more Logitech keyboards after this one. ---- Original Review Below---- One of the negatives about this keyboard is that it will not input keys that I have pressed, and it will leave letters out of words, or it will even double press them. This situation occurs mostly with the R, 5, G, S keys, and it does become increasingly infuriating in a long document. I have had the German version of this keyboard before, and the issues I experienced on that one did not happen at all. A friend of mine also uses a Logitech keyboard, but not the same model, and I see in her text the same issues that I get but with more frequency. The build of the keyboard is good and strong, and it should last you for years unless your patience with the aforementioned issue gets the better of you, or if you are a gamer who is susceptible to bouts of rage during a game. The keys are nice to type with and the spacing is good. It has a dedicated Game button on the top and to the left of the media controls to prevent accidental presses of the Windows button... has anyone actually done that? The RGB is good and fully customizable within Logitech's own software that you will need to download from their website. With some games, the RGB lights will sync up such as with Battlefield 2042. In the game, the lights will stay a green colour, just the like they use within their branding and such, but if you die, the keyboard lights will flash red and then flash green if you are lucky enough to be revived. The cable is not braided so that might affect the longevity of the keyboard, but I don't think it will be a problem unless you are constantly manipulating it in such a way that it weakens. If you have a Logitech mouse with RGB, the software will sync the two devices together and the colours will be the exact same. However, I have noticed that in Battlefield, in particular, the mouse RGB switches off, and I am not sure if that is by design or a bug. Overall, I am not sure if I could recommend this keyboard as ironically enough, typing is its weakness. On the occasion that it does decide to work without an issue it is good, but when it doesn't, text will be looking more likke thiss, and overall, it beccomes highly annoying. I would say the £5.99 HP keyboard I bought from a high street store types better than this one. For gaming it is fine and there are no issues with input lag. If I were to put a score on it, it will be a 6/10. Pros: - RGB Sync - Soft touch keys - Media controls - Strong and sturdy build - Price - Syncs up to other Logitech hardware such as a mouse - Good for gaming Cons: - Double input of text or no response at all - Non-braided cable - Not a good experience for typing

The G213 is an amazing RGB keyboard to consider buying if you're on a budget or looking to upgrade over a cheaper previous keyboard. Yes it's a membrane keyboard and not mechanical but at the end of the day keyboard switches are personal preference and having owned both membrane and razer mechanical kb's In the past I would choose the G213 over a cheap mechanical keyboard any day as when gaming the switches makes no difference what so ever but if you were typing a lot then maybe consider a mech keyboard. The membrane keys are nice and clicky and have a tactile feel with good feeback and dont feel cheap at all but if you're mechanical switch enthusiast then this isn't for you. What you get with the G213 this keyboard is worth the money, you'll always here people saying "but you can buy a mechanical kb cheaper than this" but they are always cheap Chinese brands and I'd rather pay more towards a more premium feeling product from a trusted brand even if it isn't "better" than the cheaper product but that's just me. The 16.8m colour RGB looks amazing and bright and isn't blinding like some kb lighting out there and the logitech software used to control the kb lighting is so simple and easy to use and it let's you control various lighting effects from having one static colour, individual lighting zones, the popular rainbow wave effect to other effects available. I also have the G203 Prodigy mouse and it's really cool to have the RGB lighting from the G203 and the G213 sync up together in the logitech gaming software. If you use macros when gaming this kb let's you program them to different keys as it doesn't have dedicated macro keys but I've never used macro buttons so this didn't bother me. The built in wrist support is really useful and comfortable to use for long gaming/typing sessions but its built into keyboard and can't be removed so consider that if you don't like wrist supports. In conclusion it is an amazing keyboard for the price with RGB control, the body is sleek and has a matte black finish which looks really nice and not over the top like some keyboards on the market. The G213 is definitely worth getting if you're on a budget or want an upgrade from a cheaper keyboard.

In the middle of trying to set up a macro with this jonah of a Keyboard - the bloody keys wouldnt respond at all that is to say - I could not type a damn thing. So had to remove the keyboard from the PC and restart with the old kbd OMG this thing is a liability I dont trust it as far as I am about to throw it Logitech Bring back the K740 for Christ sake Do it today I will probably buy 3 of them

Con tasti retroilluminati RGB LIGHTSYNC, resistenza agli schizzi e tasti multimediali dedicati, questa tastiera si rivolge sia ai gamer che a chi utilizza il PC per lavoro o svago. Design e Costruzione La G213 ha un design solido e robusto, con una base leggermente inclinata e un comodo poggiapolsi integrato, che aiuta a ridurre l'affaticamento durante lunghe sessioni di utilizzo. Il layout QWERTY UK potrebbe richiedere un po’ di adattamento per chi è abituato a un layout italiano, ma non rappresenta un problema insormontabile. Un altro aspetto interessante è la resistenza agli schizzi: un’ottima caratteristica per chi ama tenere bevande sulla scrivania mentre gioca o lavora. Il rivestimento in plastica di buona qualità conferisce alla tastiera una sensazione solida, anche se non raggiunge il livello premium delle tastiere meccaniche di fascia alta. Prestazioni e Sensazione di Digitazione I tasti della G213 non sono meccanici ma utilizzano una tecnologia a membrana migliorata, che garantisce una risposta più rapida rispetto alle classiche tastiere a membrana standard. Il feedback è soddisfacente, con una corsa dei tasti ben bilanciata, anche se gli amanti delle tastiere meccaniche potrebbero sentirne la mancanza. Uno dei punti di forza della tastiera è la retroilluminazione RGB LIGHTSYNC, completamente personalizzabile tramite il software Logitech G HUB. È possibile creare effetti di luce accattivanti o sincronizzare i colori con altri dispositivi Logitech per un’illuminazione uniforme e coinvolgente.

Pro e Contro Pro: Ottima qualità costruttiva per una tastiera a membrana Retroilluminazione RGB personalizzabile Tasti multimediali dedicati Resistente agli schizzi Poggiapolsi integrato per un maggiore comfort Contro: Non è una tastiera meccanica, quindi il feeling dei tasti può non soddisfare i gamer più esigenti Layout QWERTY UK, che potrebbe richiedere un periodo di adattamento Mancanza di tasti macro dedicati Conclusione La Logitech G213 Prodigy è una tastiera da gioco affidabile, ideale per chi desidera un prodotto di buona qualità senza spendere troppo. Se cerchi una tastiera con ottime funzioni gaming, un’illuminazione accattivante e una resistenza superiore rispetto alle classiche tastiere a membrana, questa potrebbe essere la scelta giusta per te. Tuttavia, se sei un appassionato delle tastiere meccaniche, potresti voler considerare alternative più specifiche per il gaming hardcore.

Ok

Bien que non-mecanique, un tres bon all-rounder clavier. Je l'utilise pour travailler, en combinaison avec un G910... pour le gaming dedie.
