Pros !
It’s a good keyboard for the money you pay.
It is slim and quiet (it’s a membrane keyboard) but precise when you type.
It has a very fast response.
It has RGB Backlight 5 zones I can work with that… actually, you can separate the size of the letters in 3 different color zones, which will help nothing wrong with that !
And this is just my personal preference. I love that the keys are digged in the board so no light leaks around the keys. I am not a fun of floating keys on top of the board.
CONS :
* NO Macrokeys That is the biggest con for me!
I would love to have 6 macros programmable G Keys on my little finger. I used to have and used a G105 That was great… ( 9 years abused and heavily used :))
* Backlight Quality is inconsistent, Some keys letter are not uniform lighting, and if you would not know where the letter should be it gets hard to read… So for that reason, the backlight for 25 percent of the keys is totally unusable
* The FONTS… well… maybe I am the fussy one but the Fonts, just can not stand with them.
The arrow signs… bleah.. The small symbols are so poorly drawn.. if you don’t know exactly where each symbols are on what key, it will be a challenge to find out what the symbols is…

I don’t need a complicated keyboard, and the G213 is about as good as it gets at an affordable price. Aesthetically, its simple all black design is perfect. It has the right amount of RGB for my preference with the letters/characters of each key lighting up rather than a full back light which can be visually distracting to me. Despite being an all plastic build, it’s sturdy enough for everyday use; I’ve seen many YouTube reviewers citing low quality materials used and flimsy build, but I don’t see any of those problems, and no reasonable person will forcefully try and twist the keyboard just to prove a point.
Typing on the G213 is satisfying enough. Its key press pressure is light, and while I prefer slightly heavier pressure, I’m used to them now. The clicks are shallow and light, and probably not as satisfying to listen to as a pricier mechanical keyboard. The RGB is on the weaker side, which I don’t mind at all. The G203 is much brighter than the G213, so I lowered the G203 brightness and increased the G213 brightness and it looks fine to me. Being a budget keyboard, the uniformity of the RGB is spotty, especially when looking down from an angle, which is all the time, but not a deal breaker for me.
I bought the G213 with the G203 mouse during Amazon’s Black Friday sale, and am happy with both products. They both use Logitech’s G Hub, which for all intents and purposes is much too large a program (if I recall, 500+MB? I could be wrong) to control a few Logitech peripherals. I mentioned in my G203 review that upon start-up the RGB desyncs from my preferred settings, and I have to reset the dynamic lighting in order for keyboard and mouse to breathe in sync, and may randomly throughout the day desync for no reason, which is a minor annoyance to rectify, but may become a frustration if I have to keep doing it in the long term.

I’m a author, graphic artist, photo editor and generally a person who uses a desktop computer keyboard a lot, much more than average. I am not a gamer, however I have bought several gamer keyboards in the past thinking the mechanical keys may give me a better feel and longer longevity so I can say this model is not a true gamer keyboard.
THE INEVITABLE COMPARISON
As a power user of keyboards I literally wear them out. I have owned so many brands and models I’ve lost count. Most range from bad to terrible. I am not particularly fond of Logitech as a company, I don’t believe they have a very good reputation for customer service and I think most people who have owned their products will agree that their products don’t last as long as they should. But yet, for a good solid product that feels good to human hands they are probably the only game in town these days. So I keep buying their mice and keyboards, over and over again.
Their K740 has often been called the gold standard, it is nearly perfect, or at least was. For a while it was being sold as a redesigned model with chicklet keys. I don’t think that went over so well and it seems to have been discontinued. After my fourth K740 started giving me troubles, and the availability of used ones drying up, I decided to try this one. From the photos it looks almost identical, and it seems to have real full-dimensional key – not chiclets. In fact, at least in the photos, the keys seemed to have more of the shape of the legendary IBM Selectric than the flatter-topped keys of the K740.
ILLUSION OR FACT – THE COMPARISON
Here is my direct comparison between the original design of one of the best keyboards ever made and this one which I bought at about forty-five bucks. The first impression is that it is solid, heavy and seems to be very substantial for the price. The USB cord is massive, I think just for effect, but I don’t think it translates well into usability. My cord needs to snake around several things on my desk, impossible with this very stiff cord, so that changes how I like to have my keyboard and desktop arranged. But I can live with that. How it looks is fine but the real proof is when I sit down and start to type. I want my keyboard to melt away when I use it, in other words I don’t want to think about it, I just want it to be a tool that translates the movement of my fingers into words on the screen. In comparison this model does indeed have a nice feel, the keys seem to be where they should be and the key travel is just about right to give the user a positive tactile feedback. But on the downside, whereas the K740 is nearly silent in operation this model has a noticeable key click sound that doesn’t seem to be consistent from one key to another. It’s a subtle difference but a fast touch typist might think the key feedback is slightly less than optimal. That is fully a user preference though, either you’re going to like or not. I am getting used to it but I do prefer the silent keystroke of the older model.
One immediate thing you will notice is the lighting. The older model has pure white laser etched lighting that is soft, subtle and very useful for typing in low light conditions. It’s about as good as it gets. The Prodigy on the other hand is meant to dazzle with multi-color zones, something gamers like. The lighting is slightly dimmer. On the plus side is that the colors are programmable and there is almost no light leak between the keys. There is one dedicated button to turn the illumination on and off.
THINGS YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW
I’ll run through a few first impressions: one is that the palm rest is hard plastic as is the rest of the body of the unit, it is not padded or non-slip like the K740. This model has four bright white status lights for caps lock, num lock, etc. They are within your line of vision and you will either like that or not. I am so used to the K760’s on-screen display I think I prefer it to status lights. The labels next to the lights are extremely tiny and the same color as the rest of the plastic – in other words you have to memorize the position of each to be useful. The media keys are very well thought out, they are all in the far corner on the upper right and each key has a dedicated function. I rarely use media keys but I think I will start using them now, I like this design very much.
NOT FACT
Here are a few things that separate reality from hype. One is that the product you get is not what they picture in their ad. That’s inexcusable, they’ve shipped enough of this model that they could have corrected their misrepresentation by now. The biggest difference are in the size and shape of the enter and backspace keys – which to someone who uses a keyboard many hours a day can be a very big deal. The other this, again inexcusable, is that you can’t use the standard Logitech SetPoint keyboard app, you need to download a different one for this model.
YES OR NO
How a keyboard feels is the most important thing it does and you can read a thousand reviews and every one of them will be an opinion – no one can decide for you if it will feel good to you, the only way you will know is to buy it, try it, and keep it if you like it, otherwise send it back. My rating is conditional – it is positive considering you can’t get a real K740 anymore – the replacement is nowhere near in the same league as the original, and it still costs way too much. You also no longer have a ready source of reconditioned ones. So you’re stuck with this model if you want something good. My bottom line is that it’s quite good and I’ll probably get used it its little quirks, I would like it better if it was less noisy. And I can’t five points to any product that shows one thing and sells you something else.

The keyboard is very nice. It’s smooth and decently quiet. The keys are all customizable. The extra keys to control sound or pause/skip videos is also pretty convenient. It allows you to change the RGB color scheme, which i haven’t figured out yet. The palm rest is great. One of the main reasons i picked this up, so i can say it’s comfortable.
Overall, it’s very good and glad i picked this one up

Im a big PC gamer and have used nothing but expensive mechanical keyboards. My favorite was the G910 Orion Spark which i just replaced with this. Ive spilled 1 too many drinks in the heat of gaming on the spark. This is not a mechanical keyboard its a membrane but has a long keystroke and tall keys (not chicklet) like a mechanical keyboard and honestly feels like one except its silent (not click clack click clack). Its also spill resistant which was my big reason for giving it a shot. Feels like a $150 keyboard for under $50. its not 16 million color LED where you can light each key individually but thats just gimmicky anyway, I just want backlit keys cause my eyes arent great and i play in dim/dark room a lot. This is a solid keyboard. If youre on the fence due to it being a membrane and not mechanical you can rest easy. It feels like a mechanical just without the noise. Wish the volume was a roller like the g910 but ill get used to the up/down rocker switch.

I’m 58, and this is the best keyboard I have ever owned. The keys feel just right, and they light up nicely. The wrist rest is built in and doesn’t feel like a hollow piece of junk that snaps on and off. This is a good all-around keyboard, not just for gaming. The ability to turn off the windows button with a push of a button on the keyboard is wonderful.

Immediately worked after plug in. No silly drivers needed for download or computer updates. Just plug and play. Lights are able to be turned off and all standard controls including some volume and play pause skip and replay buttons. Perfect layout I’ve always known. Been a Logitech customer for two decades. Glad to see they’re still giving good value for the money here. Comfortable wrist rest and upgraded leg stands, as well
