It really is a great keyboard, I don't play anything that can use macros so the lack of macro buttons isn't a negative to me, not being able to change the color of the key back light could also be considered a negative but if you feel the need for that then there are plenty of more expensive boards that you can get that with. I chose this because of price > mechanical keys > and a combination of manufactures rep and the beauty in simplicity this board has, it's not some large gaudy gaming board. It also matches my mouse lol

My old mechanical keyboard was having an annoying stutter (duplicate key press transmissions) and one of the CTRL keys had a 50% chance of registering any given press. Switches- After poring over reviews, I ended up buying two (2) G413's because the price was very reasonable, and I prefer to use the same key layout/tactile profile at home & work. I had previously liked the MX Blues for their audible feedback, but Logitech has created a contender with these Romer G switches. Fit & Finish- If you're a slob like me, it seems that it will be very easy to clean the *body/frame* of this keyboard. The switches are essentially surface-mounted (not sunken in a "well") with the keycaps floating above the superstructure. Another review mentioned the keys' matte coating is a grease magnet. I can confirm that if you eat Doritos while typing, you will notice a sheen under cool-temp/fluorescent lighting. I love how subdued - but PREMIUM - this thing looks & feels. As expected, it's much denser than any OEM board, or whatever butterfly-feather-spring design that Apple foists upon its loyal fashionistas these days. Here, only the top is metal, with the rest of the housing done in a black polymer, making it appear thinner overall. It does NOT offer an RGB light show: it glows arctic white; that's it. I do like the reflection of light glowing from underneath each key onto the metallic top plate. Curb Appeal- As I mentioned, I am using my other G413 at the office. Some coworkers are jealous, but no one has yet accused me of creating a distraction with my keyboard's ground-effect lighting + rear spoiler. Areas for Improvement- This board has USB "passthrough," meaning there are 2 USB-A plugs to connect to your system. One drives the lighting & data for the keyboard, and the other is basically a USB extension cable for the one (1) USB-A port on the rear edge. (I use it for a Logi Unifying receiver w/ my MX Anywhere 2S.) ....This board would be even better if it incorporated a bonafide Hub to provide ~3 more ports right at finger's reach. It also lacks dedicated shortcut keys. Who's it For- Us normies who still have to interface their brain with the digital world via touch-typing at 100+ wpm. Who it's Not For- Those who enjoy setting hex-color values for each individual key.

Well, where to start. The down arrow kept getting stuck so I bought this. My first keyboard over 20 bucks and there is really nothing special about it. The keys are back lit and white. It is super clickity clackity which is loud and awesome. Last thing is that there is no stupid rainbow flashing rgb, thank god.
