On the flip side, the Logitech G513 Carbon is a quieter-sounding, stealthier-looking, and trimmer mechanical board that may suit your tastes and fingers better—and if so, save you some bucks to boot. Memory foam rest quickly and fully recovers from pressure so every use is as comfortable as the first.

It also has much better ergonomics because it offers two incline settings and includes a wrist rest.and there are plenty of mechanical keyboards out there that cost less and come with features such as dedicated media keys. When the lights are turned off, the key lettering is almost invisible, so you had best be a proficient touch typist. Most of LGS's functionality is divided into four categories, each represented by a simple icon on the lower right side of the screen. The keycaps feel solid and don't wobble much, but are made of cheap ABS plastic and may get slippery over time due to the oil in your fingertips.

The G513 delivers in every area, typing is great, and I can use it to its fullest (and more) in Linux. You can try and put them back, but they will be falling off until you break every stem and keycap is unusable. GX Brown is a traditional mechanical switch providing discernible actuation for gamers who prefer direct tactile feedback. The key switches may have special appeal for those who aren't satisfied by the half-dozen or so flavors of Cherry switch in common circulation.The HyperX has onboard memory to save your preferred settings, and all of its keys are macro-programmable. It doesn't have wireless connectivity, so you'll need to run a cable from the couch to the computer, which isn't ideal if you're worried about tripping over wires.

This isn’t a dealbreaker by any measure but a lack of dedicated media keys in a gaming keyboard in 2019 feels like a terrible missed opportunity. On the other hand, the Pyro has onboard memory, but the ROCCAT Swarm software is only available on Windows.On the G910 I noticed that GTA V used the function keys to show police lights during a pursuit but this was not via any special software installed. The Razer BlackWidow Elite is a better gaming keyboard than the Logitech G513, mainly because the Razer lets you reassign or set a macro to any key, while the Logitech is limited to the function keys only. If you'd like to share your experience using Logitech G HUB with this keyboard, feel free to leave a comment in the discussions section. This keyboard does so many things right, that is seems silly that Razer could get them all wrong with the Huntsman Elite and charge more. Bold claims indeed, but with no real-world way to put them to the test, the difference is negligible in real-world gaming scenarios.

The Logitech has better ergonomics thanks to its detachable wrist rest, and it comes with dedicated macro keys and a USB passthrough to plug in other peripherals. Logitech G513 Carbon up to the test over a course of two weeks to see exactly where the full-sized deck sits when pitted against the best gaming keyboards on the market right now.I have only begun using g810-led, and I have been having a blast with it writing my own Python and Bash scripts to animate and customize the G513 from within Linux. If you want a keyboard that has onboard memory to save custom profiles, check out the Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile. Custom Function Keys and you can even save and export the profiles you create to share with other people.
