The Logitech G213 Prodigy Keyboard is an entry level membrane keyboard that is 3 years old now, but
is still found on the shelves of many tech retailers today. For only $70, let’s take a look and see if this
keyboard is able to hold up in the 2020 market.

The reason it was upside down was the box was designed to stand up showing the front image of the keyboard on the box cover. The heaviest part in that orientation is at the bottom with respect to that view allowing the box to more easily stand up. Just physics. Not a mistake.
you all prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost my password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Gibson Kellen Instablaster ;)
@Tobias Hezekiah I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Tobias Hezekiah it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Gibson Kellen You are welcome :)
We gonna pretend like you didn't dip for years... K I'm cool with it.
Mhm
only 1 reply lol now 2
2 what you talking I see 3 now I only joking 🙃
@@DIMABLADE u ruined it
@@juzst1n363 I just said as a joke what do you mean I ruined it
I'm still using my G213 for nearly 3 years now and have no disappointments. RGB lighting layouts can be controlled with software so no issues for me. Lights are bright enough to see even during daylight hours. Totally smooth and typing sounds are subdued. They're quiet and don't annoy so not a deal breaker for me. I 'm a heavy duty (nearly every day) gamer and this keyboard continues to keep me on top of the leader boards. The comfortable wrist pad keeps me coming back for more even after a hard day's gaming. I've tried mechanical and really can't find a better gaming keyboard for the price. Purchasing mechanical is like buying a 300 dollar radiator to cool down your overclocked CPU when you should have just spent another 50 bucks for a better CPU at the speed you overclocked to (things that make you go, "Hmmm...?") Buy this board. You won't be disappointed.
Same I’ve had mine for almost 2.5 years now
Man i just bought it brand fucking new and for some reason the space doesn't work that well ... I have to press it harder than usual
Mechanical is still better, if you use membrane you have extra chromosomes
@Rage nahh bro you don't sound dumb the g213 is a membrane which is why i don't like my g213 .
lots of people have problems with keys not beeing responsive,have to press it several times to register, me included, had to get rid of it cos its annoying.as.hell. lucky you got working one. its a lottery i guess.
I have owned this keyboard for nearly 3 years now, it feels amazing to type on and playing game with no issue at all. I bought a mechanical keyboard with linear red switch about a month ago, I just can't get used to it and now I'm switching back to this bad boy.
are you using it for gaming or typing ???
I have 2 mech keyboard and for gaming membrane cant compete with how god the Red Switch is
@@syarifairlangga4608 I'm using it for both gaming and typing. The mechanical keyboard with red switches is way too light and sensitive for me. I've tried a blue switches as well, the typing experience is great but it produces too much noise. This G213 has a great pressing feedback unlike other normal membrane keyboard and it doesn't sound like someone firing a machine gun when typing on it.
@@syarifairlangga4608 Me as a old school gamer since 20 years have tried out all kind of keyboards and can assure you that a mechanical keyboard don't matter in gaming. Since 3 years I use the "Razer DeathStalker" with chiclet keys. Razer don't produce it anymore. I'am very statisfied with it, more than any mechanical keyboard I owned.
Some of your footage looks like it would be logitech's own footage. Super well done.
True well done
Now this is how a video review of a keyboard should be done. Thank you so much. Way too many videos show stock footage and talk like they actually used it, but can't even be bothered to include a sound test/example.
Well this was certainly a surprise.
Cheer 🍜
Biggest understatement of the century so far.
Why
Odd
Wait one damn minute. MS Tech is back? And you're not even gonna mention it?? I don't even care. Glad to see you back man!
I have been using this keyboard for 4 years now. Still works perfectly and the RGB is brightness is appropriate for me. The typing feel is great.No Complaints
Wait, did i just watch a review of an actual keyboard? And youtuber did not talk about cardboard box and user manual for about 3 hours? Is this heaven?
I'd bought this one, it's good and comfortable. The main keyboard I wanted to by is Apex 3 steelseries, with a reduced noise and wheel ajustment for sounds. The palm can be place or not, depending on your style you wanted. I love bought brands but for me Apex 3 is way more better, unfortunately there's no stocks here in PH regions. It's rare, it's totally out of stock in every shops.
Logitech G213 is a republic to Razer but not as just that. Logitech G213 And other G's is a different allusion to Razer, Razer is a mouse that gaves you Aimbot, but not as much as it happens.
Fun Fact: Logitech and Razer sounds the same.
-----------------------------------------
Also forgot, Razer And K95 RGB Platinum and Logitech G213 or Any numbers is sounding the same, but Some most keyboards are that really quiet/silence and noisy which is annoying and best for gaming. Luckily Logitech G has DPI, you can change it by going towards to the HUB.
Quick facts: Some most cheap less-RGB gaming keyboards doesn't have HUB just to change DPI. Unlike Logitech, Razer, And K95 RGB Platinum. They're powered RGB gaming keyboards.
----------------------------------
About Razer:
Razer put out a lot of solid mice this year. This video is aimed at helping you figure out which Razer mouse is the best choice for you based on your hand size, grip style, and use case. Once you know which mice you are more interested in I have full dedicated reviews below of these mice that you can use to learn all there is to know about that particular mouse.
Once I heard that intro, my eyes lit up 🔥🔥
Memories...
Odd bro
I checked this channel just this week and now i see a ms tech upload
Well well well..... look who came crawling back
Me...... I came crawling back
For a membrane keyboard,it sounds a lot more better than my mechanical keyboard
I unfollowed this channel when the tech reviews went away, now I searched for this keyboards review and heard a familiar intro. Welcome back.
Stay unsubscribed fake fan😔
Welcome back to MS tech
have this keyboard on my second setup. for 40€, it is really good.
Second setup 😭
same , first setup i use mecha keyboard. For second setup i want to buy this
First setup is my huntsman mini with purple clicky switches. My second setup is a kbd w outemu red switches, way less noisier. I prefer mecha kbds tho.
can you make the rgb just white?
@@viezeasbak yes
He came back like it was nothing
I just got one last night along with a G502 Hero. I love them both.
Thank you because I was thinking to buy the same things lol
@hyreuwu nice
Can you type fast?
@hyreuwu I have mine already, HyperX alloy origins core mechanical.
is better then membrane for me Im a pro typer but not as fast as other, I can only average a 70 but sometime 80wpm.
I had use membrane hyperx alloy core rgb
is type fine great for gamer and working.
I just picked one up on sale. Arrived today and I'm loving it. I learned about changing the colors watching this. Thanks.
Was it worth it?
@godz_gaming so far so good 👍🏻
@@WorldwideDarts what's your opinion after a year of using?
@@juliusbucog4946 It's been great. No issues with it at all. Still using it every single day 👍🏻
@@juliusbucog4946 I've been using it for a few months, and it's awesome
Tip- If the spacebar is a bit too quiet for you, take off the key, take out the limiter rod, and put the key back on.
BIG MAN HAS RETURNED
The Return of the King
Howard shore masterpiece Intensifies*
i just had it on my hand , it feels very good , a great upgrade from normal office keyboard
In Germany it was available for 40 euros last week. I think it was very cheap then
for me its €59.90
for me now its £59.99
Hab ich letztens für 35.99 geschossen hat sich gelohnt
@@ent1tyyyyyy Ist es immer noch gut? Will es über Willhaben gebraucht in gutem Zustand für 25 Euro kaufen
@@O.G.H. probieren geht vor studieren
I bought this keyboard at a local Goodwill for $3 and 50 cents… wanted to learn more about it since I bought it on a whim. Very happy w my purchase :]
For a start, I only use keyboards made from titanium. For this plastic keyboard to feel 'plasticy' make me a little upset.
However, I would be absolutely livid about the keyboard not being the same way as the image on the cover. If it was the same way, I would be livid, full of utter anger if I opened the box and it was upside down! How dare they!
Next, and please, dont get me started on this one...
I flex my keyboard at least twice a day. And you're saying it hasn't got much flex in it! How on earth can they sell this thing! It needs more flex damn it!
I at least appreciated the satire.
Exactly. How do they expect me to work out my biceps if I can't flex the keyboard?
Will you use the keyboard as a blunt weapon?
@@f.b.i1196 It is highly likely, but probably only against flies and wasps. Possibly the odd spider.
YES HE IS FINALLY BACK
Well well well... look who uploaded. Great to have ya back
thanks mate
i am getting this keyboard tomorrow and thanks for the review
how is your keyboard
@@aksolopl lmao
@@Bynax I've heard that they break really fast.
@@aksolopl idk if i should get one tbh
I use this keyboard and have for about the majority of this year and it has served me well.
Edit: I bought a new keyboard. This one is really really really loud compared to my new one. I got the Logitech G512 Carbon and it’s good. It is mechanical and is actually made of metal. The customisation features are better. If you are looking for a high end keyboard I’d go for the Carbon.
does the arm rest come off?
@@gabriel-vh1wx no. It stays on.
@@gabriel-vh1wx the g13 carbon has a pillow wrist rest but its not a fixed on wrist rest
If I understood you correctly, this keyboard is louder than the mechanical one?
@@Sundae62 the space bar on this is indeed LOUD asf
I bought this one for a crazy 39.99€ on Black Friday. 100% worth it for that price, I still want a proper mechanical, but this keyboard sounds great and it has a lot of functions. I was scared of the wrist rest since I never used one but it's very comfortable. The only gripe I have with it is that the LEDs only work on zones and not on single keys, but who am I to complain lol. Worth it at that price point, but if you have to pay full price you're probably better off with another keyboard.
Yo quick question, do the keys make any noises which could disturb my other family members?
@@furkanuyar5355 Somewhat, they are membrane so they are more or less quiet, however they still simulate a slight mechanical noise. Nothing much, but it may disturb someone if he's sleeping in the room with you. If noise is a problem I would suggest getting a silent membrane keyboard made for office work, not a mechanical or mechanical-feeling.
@@RashFeuer26 still using this keyboard? still working on this all buttonns?
@@fatihxxxxxxx5362 Yes, works great
I like your review. I'm about to get one.
The legend has returned
Very soothing voice!
The quality of the logitech keyboard is pretty good! I use CRAFT. The video was very easy to understand. I will come to play again! With love from Japan :)
Thanks for a solid review. I just bought the Corsair k70 and am thinking it's not for me. I'm probably going to replace it with this. Glad I watched the vid. Enjoy the new year.
great vid man
if your looking for a good keyboard on a tight budget i recommend this one i recently purchased it myself and have no complaints.
is the speed good on this keyboards , i m playing csgo and overwatch so i need a super fast responsive keyboard??
@@krish-kg4ec not OP, but if you're looking for responsiveness you can find a decent TKL mechanical keyboard for probably around the same price as the G213.
So basically, this is the full sized keyboard of the Logitech G-Pro keyboard
"A scroll wheel is not something you'd find on a keyboard at this price point"
DELL KB-522 has entered the chat.
Thanks for the review. The keyboard makers seem hellbent on making the dedicated media keys and the right windows key the price to pay for backlighting, so I better snatch a few G213s before they're discontinued.
I was looking for a replacement Keyboard, and this was the only one available. Bought it, didn't disappoint. cant beat good old reliable
I've used it for 5 years. It hasn't degraded.
Tho it has quality control problems and manufacturing tolerance problems. Like the ctrl, space, and numpad 0 I had to pop the key out, shove a bit of cardboard under and put it back on so it would consistently press.
If I pressed those keys without modification before they would not click half the time.
Just leaving this here. my brother (Heavy gamer, specifically for fps games) has used this keyboard for about 5 years with MINIMAL issues which he pretty much faced only in the past few months (it just became harder to press that's it), so for a membrane keyboard its genuinely amazing and well worth the price if you don't want to buy a mechanical keyboard (I myself have a good mechanical keyboard)
The harder to press thing might be that he spilled drinks onto it and the sugar got in the contact points of some keys, making them not slide as well.
I know I had that problem, a quick popping out the keys and washing them along with the contact points did the trick.
There's a program called Volumouse that lets you change volume with a mouse wheel.
I found out that the RGB Leds aren't weak, but it's the rubber membranes making the light weaker
It just it glow the lettter but aren't still bright enough.
Ayyyyy welcome back!
The G213 Prodigy i just bought sounds very different, it has a really nice soft and smooth feel and sound. Does not sound clicky at all whihc is nice. And just the sound and feel is so satisfying. I don't know what it sounds so different in the video.
The sound is different cause he lifts the fingers super fast, so they snap against the plastic. He clicks faster and stronger than you.
Had completely forgotten about this channel
As someone who's used this keyboard since it released (2016 Production Model) and had just bought a new 2020 Production Model. There's two things to note about the production quality.
The 2016 Model (and most models up to early 2020) have a braided cable and a premium, refined USB-A Connection but slightly dimmer key lighting.
The Mid 2020 Model (and onwards) has a plain rubber connector, slightly cheaper USB-A Connector housing, though with brighter lights (they will look the same with most colours).
Neither are bad. If you want a brighter light on some colours , go for a more recent production model. If you want the better, sturdier feeling cable (which most won't care about), hunt down a 2016-E2020 model.
Return of the king
GOAT's back.
Subscribed. Welcome back!
i use this keyboard and i bought it for 25$ bc it was on sale at Walmart, and have had it for a year now and I love it and will probably keep it.
i just got one its actually quite good for a membrane keyboard the wrist wrest feels super nice
The gaming mode is really good and helpful for Fifa on PC. Especially when you play online
Woah the original intro
Too expensive for a rubber dome, for $70 you can get a mechanical RGB one.
can u link me a good keyboard ? i play league of legends and overwatch.. if it's a quiet keyboard even better
Price lowered to50 and the 70 dollar mechanical does not feel as good at typing
Got this one second hand for £18 and am really happy with it.
Got this keyboard today! The packaging is slightly different (the box is now black on all sides), and I am happy to inform that a sticker is now included. :)
Link please
Just ordered one off eBay for only 20 pounds
What a bargain
That's amazing
1. Is it easy to clean?
2. Can you take off the palm rest?
@EmptyHead thanks for the reply👍
Wow! Omg totally didn’t expect this. Yay!
i have got the g213 and g305, great combo!
"You won't notice it until you flex it" I have never got my keyboard and attempted to twist it lol
Flex really isn't a big deal I'm not sure why people test for that.
I bought this keyboard last year and I had no complaints or whatsoever and I got the logitech sticker I think they included it in the box now
Is it mechanical or membrane ?
HES BACK
$44 Dollar keyboard. Might be MSRP but Logitech knows what they are selling and $44 for what you get makes more sense.
Wow, this host sounds a lot like Kevin Riazi IMO.
This is best reviwe i ever warched on youtube
Watched
When I heard membrane I was like nevermind
I love how this is faster than the huntsman elite.
No
I remember watching this video when I got my keyboard and it's been two months since then
How is it?
@@Deinobi don't buy this keyboard after I purchased my cat died
@@justin94431 oof. Sorry for your cat m8
i have it since 2019 i love it!!!!!!!!
I’m considering buying this keyboard alongside the G102 Lightsync mouse, to replace my chinese Silver Line keyboard that is missing the TAB key, and a Israeli-branded mouse that i’m borrowing from a friend. I like the RGB so I can play at night without needing to have my lights on. Israeli stores sell the keyboard with Hebrew keys with English, so I could use it without needing to buy stickers.
buy mechanical
@@pelleschwarzberg8848 Mechanical is too expensive here, and you are a few days too late...
@@sgal5845 How is your keyboard serving you? Any issues?
@@JohnSmith-um7iy serving me well right now.
I bought a used G213 and used it with my Steelseries mouse and it works very well, even if it’s used
Well i need a good and cheap keyboard and seems like this is gonna be it thanks bro!
i have this keyboard it feels sooooooo good reccomend it
if you have 70 dollars and can do without rgb, i recommend getting the g413 instead. Romer G mechanical switches and an aluminium frontplate.
It's rugged to sh1t and i can type almost by just coughing on the keys, since romer g reacts to just a small keypress.
Mecha-dome switches don't make any sense at all, just get a good dome or get mechanical for cheap.
You talk about this keyboard being cheap for 70$. However it is actually quite expensive given it is a membrane keyboard.
For anyone watching this today, I don't recommend this keyboard. It costs 70 dollars and, even though its on sale for 50, just isn't worth it.
Pros:
It's full-sized (situational)
It has a wrist-rest
It has media buttons (Volume button, mute button, etc)
It has a game mode key
Spill-resistant.
Cons:
It's a membrane.
Bad stabilizer keys. Don't be fooled by sound tests, I have this keyboard and all of the stabilizer keys sound bad.
Bad customization. It only has 5 RGB sections, limiting the customization.
Meh RGB. Its fine in the dark, but lets be honest, you'll be using this keyboard in the light most of the time.
It's overpriced. Even for the discounted 50 dollar price, you could get an RK61 for that price, a BUDGET mechanical keyboard that's good and has the option for tactile switches, clicky switches, or normal switches. You get more options for the same price.
The only colour available is black, which means you'll be able to see every bit of dust and grime.
Oh, and don't trust the whole "tactile key" thing. The actuation force is comparable to Cherry MX Browns, which are advertised as tactile switches yet in reality, don't have that much tactility. It's only very slightly tactile.
Do NOT get this keyboard. If you want a good gaming experience, just get an RK61, it's the same price, yet it's a lot better. And if you need a full-sized one, don't get this either. No point in paying 50-70 dollars for the ability to go full-sized, there's plenty others out there for cheaper.
Whats better Corsair K55 RGB Pro or Logitech G213?
I'm your 500 th sub
holy shit i bought this keyborad thinking it was mechanical
It’s so obvious it isn’t
@@philiprant6259 lmao i was looking for a blue switches keyboard but i went on logitech to be sure that it was an high quality keyboard.
@@brud6295 I recommend AJAZZ AK33 it looks like a decent key board and I’m thinking of getting it
> (Amazon link) amzn.to/3rOkVrQ
@@philiprant6259 i'll check it out but i don't need a keyboard, the g213 works incredibly well. I was considering assembling a custom keyboard but it costs a lot and i'm looking for a mouse like glorious model D/model O.
@@brud6295 ah okay I would barely have the patience to build a pc nvm a keyboard 😂 but I know nothing about mouses they all work fine for me
nice thanks for the recommendation :)
Thank you! Buying it on Cyber Monday deal from Amazon. Looking forward to its use!
hooold up he’s back?
I just bought this with thinking
"I just need a keyboard that isn't broken and not 100€)

[Applauds]
I'd have been happier if the palmrest had been removable. I don't want one. It would definately get in my way.
Hows the podcast going
Perfect for the price
We need best setup techs and setup hacks to return pls 🙏
Noted ;)
70$??? That thing sells for 30-40€ brand new here in Germany.
I can find 35 in Serbia.
Hey, does it hurt your finger when you scroll your hand along it, like what you with a piano
Shame that the palm rest is not detachable, it doesnt fit on my desk lol
yay thats my keyboard
I used the Logitech G710+ Mechanical Tactile for years and I love it, but its really big, expensive, 2 USB ports required, and my current keyboard the Logitech MX I am not very happy with, so I'm on the lookout for a new keyboard. Do you think I would like the G213 coming from this experience?
I notice the 213 has no USB passthru.
