Logitech G213 Prodigy RGB Keyboard Review
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.
Logitech G213 Prodigy RGB Gaming Keyboard Review
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.
Logitech G213 Prodigy review: An ambitious keyboard that's oversized and overpriced
Sure, they've been around here and there. People who don't care or don't know about mechanical keyboards keep the market for them alive and well.
Logitech G213 Prodigy Gaming Keyboard 920-008096 review
Logitech’s G213 Prodigy can be defined with an American term, and that’s “half in the bag.” I think that they could have done much better while keeping the price close to the present one. Right now, it looks like Logitech really wanted something with RGB to market it towards gamers.- If we take into account a large number of features it offers and its price (MSRP $70), the G213 Prodigy from Logitech is an excellent device for a membrane-based keyboard
- With its RGB lighting and dome-shaped keys, it will appeal to numerous players out there.
- The most significant problem for the keyboard is the quality of the keys
- I know that this issue can be somewhat mitigated by the fact that it’s not all that expensive
- You could say that it’s a tradeoff made by Logitech for a lower price, but the irony is that it’s a good peripheral otherwise.
Logitech G213 Prodigy Gaming Keyboard 920-008096 review
The G213 impresses in several key areas: its mechanical-style typing action is robust and impressive, and it has good features for media playback and day-to-day use. Its build quality and lighting could both be better, though, and it’s physically larger than its rivals.- Satisfying
- impressive typing action
- Loads of media keys
- Plenty of features elsewhere
- Mediocre build quality
- Underwhelming lighting
- Larger than rivals
Overpriced keyboard
This product does not need to be £60 it doesn't even deserve to be £10 on top of the terrible refund policies of maplin it is a definite terrible product
Hard yo turn the lights on. Sometimes turns itself off.
Got a lemon. Keen to get a new one...
Logitech G213 Prodigy Review
Logitech's entry-level gaming feature sacrifices too much in the name of simplicity.- Tall key travel
- Spill-resistant design
- Membrane design limits functionality
- Flimsy construction
- Little money saved over mechanical keyboards
- Splotchy backlighting
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.
- Relatively quiet key action
- Large media keys
- Feet unfold to the side for extra stability
- Flimsy frame
- Membrane
- not mechanical
- keys
- Lighting customizable only by zone
- Key reassignment works only on function keys
- No pass-through ports or volume dial
