Logitech G213 Prodigy

£59 inc VAT • logitech.co.uk

The Logitech G213 Prodigy is a non-mechanical fully membrane keyboard. However, unlike most such keyboards, it feels very much like a mechanical Cherry MX Brown switch keyboard. As a fully membrane keyboard it does come in a little expensive at £59, however, it does offer zonal RGB lightning, which means you can’t individually customise the colour of each key, though you will be able to display a RGB-like wave colour and light up sections of your keyboard (such as the Number Pad).

The switches have a 50g actuation force and require 4mm of travel distance in order to be registered - this makes them very good to game on, versus other rubber-dome membrane keyboards.

The G213 is also a very thin keyboard, which does play against it when it comes to keyboard flex (if you’re a heavy typist or gamer you might prefer a more sturdy keyboard), but it does look sleek and stylish on a modern desk.

At the top-right hand side of the keyboard, there are dedicated media keys allowing you to quickly change or stop media on your PC. There is also a game-button, which disables the Windows key. Better still the F1 to F12 keys can be fully reprogrammed through Logitech’s Gaming Software. You’ll be able to set macros or even open up your favourite programs through the software. This means that you don’t have dedicated macro keys, but have the option to set some in place of the F keys that you might not use often.

If you’re not looking to spend too much money, want a mechanical-keyboard feeling with zonal RGB lightning, then the Logitech G213 Prodigy is a great choice.
