Logitech - G613 Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Sorry to jump on a 6 months old thread. Walked into my local Sam's club and saw these, bundled with the m3 mouse for $144, Bought it on impulse because I have been looking to upgrade kb/mouse for a while,. Does that sound like a good deal? Black with the brown/wooden side trim. From my experience, you can hardly beat the electronic deals in places like costco/sam's club and I was worried it would be gone the next time I went back. What do you all think? My only 'high end' kb experience to date was a logitech G613 which I loved until it turned into key chattering/double typing nightmare.

I'd like to say you're wrong, but looking from my experience in last 6 years... It seems you're absolutely right. I don't think they are stupid to make such mistakes in design, materials and components. So I think they really do it on purpose, and this is outrageous! G510, G910, G613, G915 - they all were total disappointment and waste of money. It's a shame, but Logitech keyboards can't even compete in quality/price with Chinese nonames from aliexpress 👿Both have no spare parts, both have cheap materials, both can break in under 2 years, but Logi is x5 more expensive.

Check out the Logitech G613 It has six macro keys, it’s wireless, and Logitech G HUB is great software imo. The Romer-G switches sound great, and typing on the G613 feels satisfying. The only downside is that it doesn’t have RGB lighting.

continuing my thread on [https://www.reddit.com/r/LogitechG/comments/1gqpzcw/does\_logitech\_gaming\_keyboard\_is\_the\_only\_one/](https://www.reddit.com/r/LogitechG/comments/1gqpzcw/does_logitech_gaming_keyboard_is_the_only_one/) After thinking for some time, i would like to bring my verdict on the Logitech Gaming Keyboard # TLDR: Disappointing and probably malliciously deisgned to maximize out of warranty break ## Keycap designed to be mechanically fail If you take a look at how Romer-G and GL switches designed, they are designed to have small plastic latching point, hopefully broke upon detaching keycap for cleaning after some time. This always happening to all my Romer-G switches: G910, G613, and G413, which i broke some of the attach points. This is the example of Romer-G attach contact: https://ae-pic-a1.aliexpress-media.com/kf/Se5bbb95a04ba4417ab230400fe902e36O/For-Logitech-G910-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-Original-Replacement-Keycaps-a-Full-Set-Replacement-of-113-Keycaps.jpg_.webp Romer-G switch: https://ae-pic-a1.aliexpress-media.com/kf/Sbcd7e2c61a4b485390fee8b216c84d78I/4Pcs-Romer-G-Switch-For-Logitech-G810-G910-G413-G513-Pro-Mechanical-Keyboard-Repair-Parts.jpg_.webp Why use 4 small and weak plastic latching slots rather than one big strong joint such as Cherry-MX? In the other hand, the Logitech GL switch is also very worrysome with 2 weak attach point prone to breaking as well. ## Endurance All the logitech keyboard that i have in the past 10 years, all has issue with some switches breaking just short after 2 years, which is outside of warranty. The issue is not only happening to me but my sister as well, especially those using Romer-G Switches. As the time of me writing this, i have been using my Logitech G813 with GL switches since August 2022, and now the N, P, and Enter key is double clicking or unregistering the click, which causes a lot of pain for me as programmer. Got one time the G613 with Romer-G switch have the Tab switch broke completely not registering at all just 2 months before the warranty void, allowing me to claim warranty on the product. ## Conclusion So after all those observation, i would like to conclude: - Logitech designed their product to likely broke just several months after 2 years time to make their fanboy buy new one - Logitech designed their product to be unrepairable/difficult to repair with no spare part available - Logitech designed their product to likely broke with user-error with weak mechanical strength on the attachment point - My verdict is this is malicilously designed

so far my G813 which is not romer G has not broke any pins. The G910 and G613 which used romer g broke legs with just like 1-2 clean off. still you can see that G913 and G813 family have a very weak attach point prone to break if we compare with cherry mx style keycaps

Just threw out g613. Was maybe 3 years old. I threw out becauase keyboard was double typing or not even registering key strokes. Even after cleaning it contact cleaner barely did anything. Obviously replacement wasnt logitech.

I use a G613 but also the G915 works well for both. One button swaps between BT to work laptop and 2.4ghz dongle on personal rig.

Logitech G613 has a low profile and same with G910/G915. Both have good reviews especially for gaming. It does have a num pad as well. G613 has one button swaps between BT to work laptop and 2.4ghz dongle on personal rig if that interests you. FWIW, my mate and I recently did an analysis on Reddit data for gaming keyboards. Basically ranked them by aggregated sentiment. Maybe you'll find it helpful [https://redditrecs.com/gaming-keyboard/](https://redditrecs.com/gaming-keyboard/) You can filter by your budget and for full-size keyboards, and also check comments specifically about productivity use. You'll get a breakdown of what ppl have said about the most recommended ones (disclaimer some links are affiliate they help fund the analyses)

If you like GHUB, then yes they are worth it. If not, there are other manufactutrers. For me software is just as important as the hardware. The G613 is a pretty old keyboard. Wireless tech has improved since then. My household is pretty much logitech. It makes it easier for setup. I have seperate setups for my laptop, gaming desktop and workstation. Kids have logitech setups as well. Same thing as video cards. AMD is better hardware, but just have the same software across all devices makes life easier for setup and failiarity. Logitech stuff is hit and miss. MY G815 had busted keycaps and double typing switches. New model addresses that. I am on my third G703 first 2 had the double clicking. I use the PRO X Linear for my workstation with G305 and those have held up for over 2 years now. The newer gear do have improved switches. Mx Anywhere 2S and K810 still working well as my portable setup
