... in case they are buying this for a young loved one. ] Pros
By OiiMerch on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2017
[I will be writing this in a form that parents who aren't "with" technology can understand in case they are buying this for a young loved one.] Pros: -Small compact and perfect for casual/almost all video game use (Games such as League of Legends/Lol, and World of Warcraft/WoW could use those extra side keys, which are called macro keys, for the large amount of skills that are used in the game.) -It's not very loud because the keys are the custom Logitech G keys rather than the Razer Green keys (To put it simple for parents who are not sure what the difference between keys are is that the different color keys, which is under the caps that you type with, are built different for different purposes. They will have a different resistance to your clicks and different ones will pop back up quicker,slower, or harder creating different click sounds and most importantly creating better gaming performance. But most people who play video games are gonna want Cherry Red or Blue switches, but both Logitech and Razer have their own brand that are about the same to Red/Blue.) -It is RGB which means you can control the colors via the Logitech Gaming Software. (The clear letters/numbers/etc. can change color or can be set to rainbow.) -Overall it's perfect for gaming, it has better ghosting than a Razer BlackWidow in my honest opinion, it feels better to use, it's quieter, and it's pretty much the perfect keyboard for me and I don't think I'm ever gonna upgrade or switch back to Razer ever again. Cons: -Custom Logitech keys (In case you are someone who REALLY wants Cherry/Blue switches, but to be honest both Razer and Logitech have their own custom keys as far as I'm concerned. I know their BlackWidow actually has their Razer Green Keys and that is the most famous keyboard with lots of gamers.) -Small and compact and so it is missing the side keys, for anyone that plays MMORPG's that require lots of macro keys in order to be the best, it can be seen as a downfall unless you own a Razer Orbweaver (Which is like a small handheld extension to a keyboard so one can remove the need of macro keys on your keyboard and get that instead.) -The Logitech Gaming Software is needed to run in the background in order for the keyboard to stay the custom color you have set it to, unless someone else can find a method to keep the color, that is the only way I've found for the keyboard to keep the custom color. The mouse on the other hand (once it's been synced with the keyboard to match colors) will stay that color regardless of the program being up or not.

Not all that impressed.

It is fairly uncommon of me to even think about writing a review, but I believe this to be an exception. I will preface my review by saying that I came from the Corsair K55, my intentions with this keyboard was to have a more consistent theme and the option to sync up the audio visualizer RGB in G-Hub. While I accomplished my wishes, it was not what I expected. RGB: I have the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum so I wanted to sync this keyboard with it when I listen to music. The option to actually sync up the two in the audio visualizers case is not present within the software, each device has to be set up individually, which wouldn't be a problem if more customization was offered for the keyboard. The audio visualizer only has the option of left to right visualization. I have come to the conclusion left is bass and the right is the high notes in songs. This wouldn't be a problem to me if it weren't for the fact the mouse lights up in its entirety regardless of what note is hit so the theme doesn't match. I also will mention that if you want this keyboard for its RGB you will very disappointed, I was unable to find any profiles for the K213 within G-Hub and there is no option what-so-ever to filter out keyboards so that only yours appears. While this keyboard offers more lighting zones than the K55 and the option of audio visualization, it will not match your mouse but it is still cool if you set up your mouse to be a stable or series of colors. That is not why I bought this keyboard though. Key switches: They are very mushy compared to the K55. It just doesn't feel all that comfortable coming from the more "clicky" switches on the K55, half the time I'm not even sure I pushed the key while playing games until the action is performed due to no physical confirmation on the keyboards side. Unless you don't use headphones you will not know if the key is entirely pressed or not unless you visually see the action completed and that bothers me a bit. While I am aware this is not a mechanical keyboard, neither is the K55. I also bring this up as advertising states the keys as being "tactile". Conclusion: This is by no means a bad keyboard, I just went into it with higher standards considering the price being more expensive than the K55 typically, the K213 is not superior in any way as far as I'm concerned. A small nitpick I have as well is that the wrist rest is quite short and doesn't really feel all that comfortable but I'd rather have a short arm rest than no arm rest. If you can get this for $30 dollars, it is a decent deal and I wouldn't tell you not to get it, but for anything higher, your expectations should also be higher than what this keyboard can provide you. I will be refunding this keyboard and buying the Redragon K550, it is the same price as the K213 at full retail and actually has mechanical switches and a USB pass through. If the K55 is cheaper than the K213, I would also highly recommend that over this.
