The keyboard is great for basic gaming, I've been using it for a few years now. BUT, nobody ever mentions that it wont light up at all unless you allow the software to connect to the internet every single time it starts. IMO that brings the rating way down. If you like to control what on your machine has free reign to call home, or if you just have an internet outtage, the software hangs up. There is absolutely no reason that a piece of hardware like a keyboard should need internet access just to function properly.
Pretty sure it just has to have ghub running. I have mine set to start with windows & don't have any issue with it not running the default or set profile with or without the internet.
Kudos to you! Your review is far and away the best video review of any item I have seen! It is amazing that people will actually post a video, showing the arrival, cutting opening with a K-Bar knife, slowly peeling away plastic wrapping, and pointing out box labels with the point of a knife or wear surgical gloves while offering incredibly annoying background music, with ZERO information of the product. You did a splendid job of describing this item, its features, and rival comparisons. Very impressed. You should be hired by manufacturers to review their products. Great job! Critique... from an instructor, slow the pace of your dialogue just a hair. Awesome info to me as a consumer.
I do own this keyboard - and it is comfortable enough. With a family of 5 and a need for gaming keyboards for backups, this was a good choice. I keep headsets, keyboards and mice for backups. Currently only 39.00 on Amazon.
Nice to know I am not the only one who does this. I keep various new headsets, keyboards, and mice for backup for a family of 3. I was able to buy this G213 new for a total of 12 dollars including tax, due to having some extra reward points. Its just going to stay in the box and saved just in case someone has a problem with their main keyboard. I'm guessing we may never use it as our main keyboards are very good. However, experience has taught me its good to have a variety of the 3 peripherals you mentioned (headsets, keyboards, mice) as backups for those rare times their is a problem. 🙂
@@geraldleuven169 Yes, that is what it was. It was on sale for the holidays, and if you have reward points (at places like Dell and Lenovo) you can discount it further, which is what I did 😃
I own this keyboard and have had it for years and personally I like it I just wish there was a wireless version that charged with USB-C and connected with bluetooth
This was a great and straightforward review. Thanks for the Steelseries recommendation at the end. I haven't checked that board out yet. Enjoy the new year.
I've had this keyboard for around a year now, maybe longer. Its alright, nothing crazy. It still works fine after being used almost daily. Not super bad for gaming, but don't like it as much as my other mechanical keyboard. Red Dragon also has great cheap keyboards that won't burn a hole in your pocket. I guess it all depends on what someone wants. Good video :)
I’ve had this keyboard since my first pc build around 4 years ago. After years of usage, I decided to buy it again and it’s a great keyboard. My first keyboard had a braided cable, the second one doesn’t so they must of removed it in the newer versions
Decent review. Had mine since it came out in 2017, bought coupled with the G403 Prodigy (very basic gaming mouse) for half off from new egg for $60. Have upgraded to the G502X now, was a good investment & haven't felt like I needed something better. WSAD, C & L-Shift are glossy & letters are worn now for about the last year from playing BF 2042. I'll be buying a new G213 open box from eBay for $24.99. I think it's funny when kids/grown men think they need the best of the best. Really how much better is Nvidia than a Radeon equivalent or mechanical than membrane that mimics mechanical? I think they're part cantaloupe imo.. Cheers!
really love this keyboard i have it right now the keys are smooth to click comfortable pad and lightning option really good and macros i love the macros.
got new one, had problems from the start with some keys not registering press,had to press it few times again. didnt google it as it happens lot of people had this problem. i would never buy it again, maybe its a bad batch. got back 7y plain old k120, working perfectly. didnt expect this from logitech to be honest.
There is 1 big advantage of this keyboard over other membrane keyboards - extremely low latency of only 0.8 ms. BTW its funny how you say it's for beginner players while I can be using this one or even a keyboard for $6 and still beat you at any FPS game 🙂What advantage will a $600 keyboard give you other than... well, what exactly? Better rgb customization? "Gaming performance" 🤣
Well this is one of a few keyboards that has a hungarian layout and isnt some noname something so this for the time being at least or some real mechanical keyboard with costume kaycaps .
I have only owned the keyboard for a year and it suck. I have to hit the space bar, N key, and the G key multiple time for it to work. this is very frustrating when gaming or typing. so unfortunately I dont recommend it.
Simple to understand explanations and demonstrations. However, even though ik you're displaying it's use in a game, you really shouldn't use m+kb for rocket league. Controller is far superior for a lot of players, but really I suppose it's opinion based. Controllers would have a lot more input delay compared to a keyboard, but that should be liveable.

@@chewie3977 bro i will buy a g213 brand new for 27.5 dollar tomorrow
@@maldobenkechida6588 That's a good price. Best price in Australia is 70 dollars. We Australians get ripped off all the time with electronics

@@Martin_Balev no
I love this keyboard.
Affordable, wont break as many membrane keyboards.

It's a shame you didn't do a demo for how the keys sounded when typing
Do you want me to record one for you?
No need I found another video with sound test

Yeah, I'm coping with this turd of an admin that's is a cluster f... Coping with AMD, membrane keyboards, older CPU's you?@thiagoandrade3303
@thiagoandrade3303 Alrighty
Had it for 5 years, probably gonna upgrade to a mechanical keyboard once I get a new PC
really love this keyboard i have it right now the keys are smooth to click comfortable pad and lightning option really good and macros i love the macros.
This keyboard was my main keyboard for a while and I think I am qualified to say that it is a great starter/budget keyboard!
Works on PlayStation?
@@zyruzijust get good at the game lmao stop using m&kb on console you rat
@@zyruzi yes, there's a bit delay though
just bought it from a pawn shop for 20 buks, intact condition, it feels very nice :)
There are models with braided cable and models with plastic, why?
Hello. I need your advice. Which keyboard is better Logitech G213 Prodigy or Logitech G413 carbon mechanics?
bro can i use any switch type like , blue switches, red or white or black to replace these keys ,
No
got new one, had problems from the start with some keys not registering press,had to press it few times again. didnt google it as it happens lot of people had this problem. i would never buy it again, maybe its a bad batch. got back 7y plain old k120, working perfectly. didnt expect this from logitech to be honest.
bad luck...many more people have it without any problems. It is after all one of their more popular keyboards.
How do you changebthe lighting of each key individually???
u need Logitech G hub
@@Dusty101ukdoes it Cost money to get that website or nah
No mate it’s a free download
I've already checked on LGHUB but can't find where to change each key
I don’t think u can change individual keys just sections
Never liked the noisy mechanical keyboard. The more silent, the better for me.
I got this keyboard for Christmas and 2022 and I didn’t know that it was $50😢

@clapz ee very easy to click. it glides and the sound is kinda satisfying.
@@t0xic668 Any issues with the input of the keys?

Have you tried disassemble it and then putting it back together? Mine's doing that for 3rd year now, but that easy fix it for month or two.
Sir I wanted to ask can i put in holy panda switches in these?
no
have you been drinking
why this keyboard is so huge, we need the small version of it
Which one is better - this or Logitech K200? Is it worth to pay 4 times more for G213? (K200 is 15$)
def g213. compare the advantages
Yes
I like it as much as my Gateron Milky yellows upgraded Royal Kludge keyboard.
Excellent membrance keyboard.
My new dad gave it to me
Ammm i have IT and the cabel is not braided
I just got this keyboard and the cable is not braided 🤷♂️
I hate mechanical keyboards. All 3 000 000 people in the office can hear me typing. I moved back to silent ones.
did he fart at the end of the video
Cam i change these Switches with the clicky switsches from Logitech?
have you been drinking
it's not hot-swapable , ITS A MEMBRANE
just found an amazon deal for 30€
40$ at GameStop
damn u play rl whats ur rank?
This keyboard has great ergonomics, but mine just stopped working after 8 months, better to go with Razer or Asus.
just got mine! is there anything specific that happened? did you bang on or what? I have not seen people complaining about this.. Just
ive had this keyboard for 8 years and i gotta say for a guy that rages alot its quite durable LOL
I’m new to keyboards

but no fn key
Their is lol
Which one is better - Logitech G213 Prodigy vs Razer Deathstalker Chroma?
