Logitech - G512 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

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

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.

Keycaps are in general what you have to look into for yourself and test, because that makes a big difference with mechanical keyboards. You need to check what suits you best and what click noise level and sensitivity you prefer. As with everything deciding what to get in the end is highly subjective. I’ve had pretty much every keyboard brand over the course of the last 30 years. My favourite one is the G513 from Logitech with Romer G (not the Cherry MX my ones) tactile keycaps, which also comes with a palm rest.

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

How many times did you clean your keyboard before they started to break? I've gotten 3 or so cleans out of my g913 with no breakages, with a keycap puller. My g512 had a couple legs come off, but never to an amount that caused wobbles. LEDs however were terrible.

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.
