![]() ![]() The entire keyboard is made of what seems like thin plastic, and even a light bit of pressure near the top of the G213 causes the entire keyboard to rock. And while the deck will take up a huge amount of space on your desk, it just doesn’t feel like the build quality is all that great. There are also flip-out legs below the keyboard that you can use to adjust its angle, which is always a welcome feature. Logitech g213 linux Pc#The G213 connects to your PC through a single, braided USB 2.0 cable and you won’t have the benefit of any additional USB passthrough jacks. But the lighting itself is pleasant, and if anything, Logitech's design is less distracting. After all, that's the point of having a light-up keyboard. ![]() Generally, I prefer my RGB lighting to show off a bit more with light bouncing around the keys and on the deck of the keyboard. Logitech chose to keep the light show on the G213 more understated, restricting the glowing hues to the iconography on the keycaps. As is pretty much the standard these days, the G213 also offers zoned RGB backlighting. However, Logitech has tuned the keys to require only 50g of actuation force, which is inline with mechanical offerings. You'll know it's not a mechanical switch though as each key offers 4mm of travel, which is double the distance of a Cherry MX switch. According to Logitech they offer a 2ms report time, which is four times faster than the basic variety. The G213's "Mech-Dome" keys use what seems like membrane dome switches, though they are tuned to be faster than traditional rubber switches. Still, while there's always sacrifices on a budget keyboard, the dedicated media keys on the G213 function well and the unique shape helps them stand out on the large deck. While the rocker switch for volume does the job, it’s a far cry from the utility of a volume wheel. All of these could have been integrated better to mercifully save some desk space. There’s only a modicum of tactical use of this space, unfortunately, including an illuminated Logitech G logo, some white LED status indicators, a game mode key, an RGB lighting on/off key, and a volume rocker switch. The huge deck of the G213 leads up to the top where you’ll find another inch of space above the keys. The wrist rest itself is decent, with a comfortable slope that feels supportive while typing. This is due in no small part to the big-and sadly, un-removable-wrist rest at the keyboard’s base. Sure, some mechanical boards like Corsair’s K95 have a large footprint, but the G213 is going to take up about a foot of space on your desktop. Design and FeaturesLet’s not understate this: the G213 is easily one of the biggest keyboards I’ve ever used. ![]()
