A strong contender to be your next keyboard! The Logitech G213 and its hybrid switch layout is nice to use, the LED lighting could use a little love, but the software that comes along with it is top notch. We honestly could not ask for much more for just $69.99.

THE ONLY CON IS LACK OF MECHANICAL FEEL AND MACRO KEYS ARE NOT PRESENT

I type fairly fast and find that the keys are good, they don't slow me down. I was able to get the lighting to match my system as you can see by the pictures I posted. The flaw (matter of opinion) that bugged me is that the wrist rest doesn't have a different texture.

Coming from a 10 year old G15 (orange one) in which the spacebar was starting to show its age a little, I wanted another Logitech keyboard. I had a play in a PB store with the ones on display. It was either between this or one of Cooler Masters mechanical boards which I kinda liked.

This keyboard pretty much met my expectations. I love the simplicity of the design, the nice constant colour change and it just feels real nice to type with. It really just works.

There is a sense though that the G213 lacks a wow factor. If you prefer your keyboards mechanical, and fully gaming orientated, then this is a clear downgrade. It's a solid offering and worth a look at the price.

To begin with, the 4 mm key travel and 50g actuation force makes the G213 feel almost like a mechanical keyboard. In fact, there were times that I forgot that I was on a membrane keyboard as I clacked away on CES news stories last month.

The colorful G213 Prodigy benefits from Logitech's great Gaming Software, but it otherwise can't compete with similarly priced competition-even from within Logitech's own product ranks.

Logitech have an enormous range of keyboards to suit almost every budget and demand. Indeed the chances are that most of the people reading this will have used a Logitech keyboard at some point. The Logitech K740 is the keyboard upon which 90% of the reviews for this very website have been typed.

The Logitech G213 Prodigy Gaming Keyboard ($69.99) is an entry-level gaming keyboard with some of the bells and whistles gamers look for, but at a price that is more palatable to mom and dad.
