Logitech - G512 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

The G512 is very good, I've had it for 3 years and I can recommend it to you

IDK but good mechanical keyboards are pricey. Like you can look at something and think okay that costs $175, but then you realize there's a color for the case or a certain type of switch or some kind of plate or keycap or optional module or type of USB cable you want and it's getting up to $500 with all the extras. Now Logitech will not sell you those kinds. They don't seem to have any hot swap switch capable keyboards and the MX mechanical might look like it can work with a standard-ish keycap set, but the stabilizers on a couple keys (space and enter iirc) aren't in any of the usual places. Otoh several other bands have a few inexpensive prebuilds, and many expensive options. I'm personally happy enough with a MX mechanical mini, especially compared to the g413 carbon I used for a while. But it's in part because I can switch to a zoom75, Keychron, 8bitdo, or this silly no-name(?) cheap [Tezarre](https://a.co/d/dUQqeNe) when I want.

Really? I had to get it replaced twice in one year due to issues with the LED, double-clicking, and dead switches. The G512 has been the worst keyboard experience I've ever had — even worse than the free one I got when I built my PC. And trying to resell the G512 was a nightmare. I could only sell it for one-third of its original price, and even then, barely anyone wanted it. I ended up selling it to someone who's not very tech-savvy.

The problem with the g512 is that it makes the ease of cleaning really important, it collects dust very fast and it gets quite stuck to the surface. My main complaint with the g512 is that the keycaps are trash, and the space bar is a nonstandard length so chances are your kit won't fit it unless you've already checked it. Also the Logitech software has a place people can upload light effects but that's about that only good part of the software. Overall it's pretty decent value but the metal is a marketing gimmick (I can twist the keyboard and it flexes pretty easy) and the key caps suck, plus I regret getting a full size key board.

I have a G512 Carbon and it still looks and works as if it was brand new, 5 years of heavy use .

Since we are on logitech subreddit then i suggest G512 and G413 SE if you dont want flashy LED Go take a look at razer huntsman series also.
