I very much like the keyboard, but it's let down by inferior software. Logitech's Romer G switches may not be for you, but I think they are a fine mechanical switches for my needs.
A little while ago my good friend over at Logitech sent over their G613 for me to test and play around with. After a definitely far to long period i have played around with it and here’s my review. Big thanks to Logitech for sending this over for review! Design and First Impressions The Logitech […]
Very good keyboard however has a slight springy sound. Annoying at first but I no longer notice it
Solid design; Excellent wireless connectivity; Works for gaming and regular typing;
No backlighting; No USB passthrough;
Wireless keyboards and mechanical switches don't go together. Or, at least, they haven't before. There are plenty of sensible reasons for the divide between the two technologies, primary of which is the usual proximity between keyboard and PC.
It's no secret that I generally like Logitech gear. It's attractive, it's functional and it's built to last. Sometimes, it's even innovative. Take, for example, the Logitech G613 ($150). At first glance, it seems like a standard, full-size gaming keyboard.

Easy-to-use Logitech Gaming Software; Understated, even elegant styling.
Non-removable wrist rest; No lighting; Lacks a built-in battery.
Some gamers prefer tricked-out keyboards with customizable RGB lighting and flashy design cues, while others are fine with a rather plain-looking board as long as it has reliable mechanical switches and a few programmable keys. The Logitech G613 ($149) is the epitome of the latter, but it adds a twist: This is a wireless board, connecting to your gaming rig either via a USB adapter or Bluetooth. There aren't many wireless gaming keyboards on the market, so the G613 is one of the only options to unclutter your desk without compromising accuracy or typing feel. Its feature list isn't as extensive as wired keyboards in its price range, however, including the current Editors' Choice Corsair K95 RGB. Designed to Blend in, Not Show Off Essentially a large slab of plastic in two shades of gray, the G613 is of satisfying heft but understated looks. In fact, there are only two things that tip you off to its gaming prowess: the single column of six G keys along the left edge and the switch...
