Adam Jensen Vive could absolutely just let you map things like that without a tracker. Assuming you don't move your keyboard around, Vive could just let you set your controller on the keyboard, map it once, and never need to worry about tracking it again.
5:48 That's the last feature I wanted to know about before buying it, and after checking literally 20+ videos on YT, you are the only one who had that information. Thank you.
This is exactly what I have been looking for. Have put it on my to buy list as soon as I saw it a week ago. No media keys (never used them or like them) Clean, minimal and simple design. The key´s are not "sinking in" to the keyboard body. RGB back light. And I actually like the Romer G better than Cherry ones.
I just picked it up and it’s my daily driver. I picked it up for just $119 on sale at Best Buy. Before I had a refurbished k95 platinum which was only $100 and Ik it’s classified as the “best gaming keyboard” but I love the quietness and the feel of the g513 tactile switches. Also it’s so clean and simple. The k95 I felt like it had just way to much on it.
Included wrist rest is nice but except of new, linear variant of Romer-G (which I don't care about, Tactile is my game), there is no difference from G413. I own both variants of G413 and no, G513 isn't gonna replace them, not for this price. If they have new GX Blue switch option, I would be interested.
I use Romer-G's at the office and as a person who does data entry for 10hrs day - I find a significant difference between my G413 and my K70. I've used Blue, Red, Black, Romger G, Razer greens and I can say that Romer-G's are my favorite. I average about 12-15WPM faster than using the reds with less keying mistakes and that alone from an efficiency standpoint at work is huge. They did take a couple weeks to get used to but I wouldn't change them out for anything else I've used.
I've had the G410 for 11 months and I ALWAYS made a mistake while typing. It's just so easy to actuate thanks to the really high actuation point. So my AVG WPM was like 10 down from now that I've got a Cooler Master MasterKeys Pro L with Brown switches. I do prefer Romer-G for gaming but for typing I would absolutely prefer something with a lower actuation point like at least 2mm.
I have it similar. My workflow is typing, typing and typing, and I prefer light, short travel tactile keys. I used to O-ring my MX Blues to make them shorter but after G910 and G413, I use pretty much only Romer-G switches. Also, Logitech's quality is amazing.
I bought this keyboard almost 2 years ago but have had 2 replacements since. Logitech have stopped manufacturing the tactile and linear switches because they somehow break the LEDs after a few months of use. I loved the tactile switches but was forced to accept their GX blue clicky switches instead.
I just got my G413 two weeks ago, and I'm extremely happy with it. It looks classy - and they kept that look for the G513 as well. I don't care about RBG at all, and am too ignorant to spend time researching the different kind of switches they offer. However, as I paid 65 bucks for the G413 I don't think it's reasonable to pay 100 more just to get an armrest. And the thickness of the threaded cable might be a little bit awkward for some people.
I picked up the G513 Silver Edition (which is Tactile keys only) a few days ago, and I can say it's the best keyboard I have ever owned. Butter smooth keys, great looking, wrist rest is perfect, RGB looks nice and no light bleeding. The extra keys and puller they include is a really nice touch.
Tbh when it comes to mechanical keyboards you could do much better with stuff from other brands. Logitech has great mice, but their keyboards are mediocre at best.
@@HawkSea I went for the mx Brown's cause I love the poppy sounds it gives. I've used it over a month now and it's been really good, no problems I've encountered so I do recommend it!
So I just bought the keyboard, and I think its a really nice keyboard, but there are a few things that I really don‘t like: 1. After pressing a key, there is a echoing sound by the spring 2. The wrist wrest ist nice, but its not as soft as the ones from Razer. 3. After the Game Mode was on for some hours, it just turned back off again. 4. The onboard Memory is only for the RGB Lighting. So if I use the option to switch the F-Keys to the media buttons, I have to open the Logitech Software every time just to activate the function again. And after several hours, the function to switch the F-Keys to Media Keys just turns itself off. So I have to open the software AGAIN. So here in Germany its 179€, and I think that is a bit too much. And I think I‘m gonna switch to the HyperX Alloy Elite RGB. The only thing that would let me switch, is that the Gamemode turns itself off after serveral hours and that the F-Key to Media switch function isnt safed to the onboard Memory. Restarting the software every time just annoys me. I hope you understand my English, I am from Germany. Bye!
Florian G. Mir persönlich gefällt die schwarze Version eh besser. Passt besser zu den schwarzen Keycaps und der schwarzen Handballenauflage. Eine silberne Version mit weißen oder grauen Keycaps und einer weißen oder grauen Handballenauflage wäre aber schon nice.
Personally I own a romer g switch keyboard and love the switches, but that’s what I started with. The are nice and fast but the tactile bump on the tactile switch is very minimal to the point that it almost feels linear but it seems the slight tactility is recognizable enough for me to be much more precise than a linear switch. The only downside I really see to this switch is how scratchy they are. The feel as if the housing was coated with paper towels. They feel pretty scratchy but only on the edges and at the bottom. They feel pretty squishy too and the bottom out feels like squishing a paper towel too but they somehow work quite well if you can get used to them. In addition there are a lot of cases of the switch stems or housing cracking. These are replaceable but are tricky to fix if you don’t know what you are doing. Although it has some jarring weaknesses, they are my favorite switches for gaming and The minimal travel distance makes the scratchiness less noticeable and the sound is amazing. There are way worse keyboards out there and this is probably the most worth it if you plan on gaming. As a gamer, the scratchy ness didn’t bother me at all but the squishiness took a bit to get used to but as a mechanical keyboard enthusiast, this keyboard cannot match up to many of the unique switches out there but for someone who only wishes to play games, go for it, it’s my go to for gaming and most likely that won’t change for a long time.
What no reviewr tells you is that keyboard aluminium frame is a dust gatherer because the small serrations are hard to clean and hold dust like no other
Yeah it is a bit pricey. You can buy 40$ off brand keyboards from off amazon that will be competitive with this. I bought a Rottay keyboard for around 40$ and its great. It has lights and all the same features minus the USB pass through which i wouldnt use nor does it have a threaded insert for what ever goes in there.
Sun Trail Ik this is late but get the g413 if you don’t care for rgb. I got that for $59 and bought the g513 wrist rest separately. Saves a lot of money.
@@Robster-Craw I had a Rottay keyboard for a while and I really liked it. One day I somehow knocked my headset into it and damaged the /? switch mechanism. I have a G513 now, but I still miss the Rottay a bit. At least I got the G513 for less than $90
Frank nice video, very explanatory, as always. One thing that caught me off-guard was the transition to the starting video that you have done, first let's clear right away, i don't say i didn't like it, but the sudden change of peace, still shock me a little while i write this comment, i mean i think your intention was to caught the attention of the viewer, but for me it was like a change of your chill peace type of video, if you know want i mean. In fact i was expecting 'til the end of the video for some edit or one clip, i don't know, to completemented that transition and that searching for that thing was bothering me a little during the view. I don't wanna mean that was a mystake, but maybe try something a little bit slow and not so "explosive", or try to speed up the tempo of the whole video, i don't know i am not a video maker like you, i edit when i have time just for fun. With that said, i wanna make clear for the last time what i said at the beginning(for possible hater that could comment ahahah), this is my opinion on that specific part of the video, i understand that someone, maybe frank himself, could disagree with me, i share this thought because, as i said, was bothering a little during the view. And know for the knowledge of who read the entire comment until now i was typing with a keyboard with cherry blue so with my bloody ears, thank for the time wasted and keep it up frank ;)
randomfrankp a 60% or 65% keyboard is still not the same as a TKL. 60% is smaller and has less keys than a TKL. You lose the dedicated F row and arrow keys.
Don’t get a board with romer gs. They are mushy and pingy. Cherries aren’t great either but still better. Gaterons are best when it comes to consumer ready keyboards. This isn’t only my opinion, but also the mechanical keyboard enthusiast one, too. Take it from the people who know what they are doing.
Can you please give me a suggestion which of these two keyboards I should get either the logitech g513 with the gx blue switches or the bw elite with the new razer green switches? From my point of view I think the gx blue switches sound better but the stability of the new razer green switches is better. The razer's cable is also much more stable than that of the logitech keyboard. But for that logitech WASD has extra gaming buttons. So I wanted to ask you which one you would recommend to me.
I had a G512 for almost a year but in like 6 months the keycaps started wearing off and chipping. After a few more months it was in an horrible state. I returned it and had the option of getting another one but after reading that it was a prevalent issue that happened a lot with the G512 and other Logitech models I decided to just have my momey back and buy something else.
@@ciroelim No. I was using it nornally like my current MSI Vigor GK50 Low Profile which has not had any similar issues just like the Cooler Masterkeys Lite L I had before for around 5 years. In fact I only replaced my Masterkeys Lite L because I accidentally dropped my smartphone on top of it and I was unlucky enough that it struck a key at an angle and broke the switch underneath.
Microphone mount. The 1/4 inch hole is for a Mic. Or anything you can mount to it. I did see a package on amazon for the keyboard with a Yetti Blue and Mount.
randomfrankp oooo you replied!!! It's just the light from the background makes it look like you are, cause there is a light out in around your head just like that which someone has who is using one
Is there any difference in the mechanical feel of the keys between the G413 Carbon and G513 Silver? I just bought the G413 Carbon, but I'm not sure which kind of keys they got. Logitech's website just calls it 'Romer G mechanical ' switches, without mentioning whether they are tactile or not, or even similar to that of the G513 silver.
I'm looking into this keyboard. It's like perfect for me only I'm questioning whether I really should get one with media keys or just go for this one. My current keyboard, that I've had for over 10 years now (G15v2), has media keys and I'll be honest I hardly use them, so I doubt it would be a real miss but still, it's like why aren't they there in the first place? I guess it's to keep the look of the keyboard clean.
tactile has a clickly/bumpy feeling once you activate the key, so you'd know when you pressed a key down. A linear key does not encompass those qualities and it requires less force for the key to activate, so you can press a key twice without knowing
2:15 this is very obvious, the mod for this keyboard where design for two different products, so they left 2 different way for the USB cable out, But since the fact only one of them Will be used it so the non-used one will be covered in plastic.
I like what Logitech is doing and how they are creating things to give us more variety in the switch marked but imo I perfer gaterons and some of the newer switches out of kailh.
To be fair Frank, if it did have the media keys, it would just be a very slightly improved G810 (added cable channel, USB port, VIVE tracker mount, etc) The improvements should be added to the G810 though
The Corsair K70 RGB has media keys. Best keyboard I ever bought due to its highly configurable software... Didn't think switching HDMI inputs on your monitor was possible from a button on your keyboard? Well CUE and AutoHotkey takes care of that!
I like it, but I dont? I like the RGB. Wanted the Corsair K70, but I dont want that bleeding light underneath the keycaps. But, the press seems fairly big at 3mm, can I change it on this keyboard? I want a lighter or less of a press
old vid, but that camera thread is useful for attaching a gopro style mount for either a phone holder or in my case, tablet. power the tablet by the usb on keyboard and use an app called twomon to make it a functional second monitor :)
I have the Logitech g810 with Romer G's and I genuinely love these switches. I'll take romer g over blues, reds anyday. And the g810 has media keys. Best keyboard I've ever owned and I got it for 100 bucks.
