What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The 513 oozes quality and the design has a lot of thoughtful touches. Reports coming back from him are very, very favourable he says its a really sick bit of kit!
It is more ergonomic than the usual keyboard. The weighty foam palm rest is very comfortable, but usually i prefer not to use it so that i have full freedom to reposition my keyboard.
The keyboard is easy to set up and easy to use. It has a good range of function keys to control media and lighting and these are used with the fn key. Some of the function keys double up - for example f9 - f12 are play/pause, stop, next and previous t... Read More
Although the underside of the keyboard is plastic, its deck is a thick sheet of metal which provides a solid and non-flexing structure. The keyboard is solidly built and should survive a great deal of activity. It has a plush memory foam wrist wrest t... Read More
Review of the logitech g513 gaming keyboard with gx brown tactile switches. The switches have a positive action and good tactile feedback.
Cons
Looking forward to getting a new keyboard and decided to go with the logitech g513. It worked great for the first 3 weeks no issues.
Highlights

The build quality is superb, the wrist-rest is is also well-made and very comfortable and the price-tag, although high, does pu... Read More
This is extremely well built, it's solid and surprisingly heavy, and you can really see the quality when you get your hands on it.
I was not happy with the amazon delivery.
The keyboard features a uk layout with the (“) & (@) symbols located as on an apple rather than windows computer- it will only ... Read More
Price
Compared to lower-priced keyboards, i'd say that this is worth its price.
Packaging/appearance
It isn't a huge issue and you soon get used to it, but muscle memory needs to change a tad if you have used the older romer g s... Read More

Competitiveness
I also have a logitech g903 mouse, and logitech pro x headphones, so something of a mixture of gaming worlds.
The keyboard also has a handy pass through connector which allows you to plug a usb2.
(i put a couple of shallow slots in a staedtler mars rubber cut into two, and clipped these onto the ends of the legs.
It's not physically huge, however - just wide enough for a full-size keyboard + numpad.

Fyi only just bought it so this maybe be subject to change but i have noticed a few thigs that would have made me think twice about buying the g513 keyboard that i feel is worth mentioning

The keys are only held in by the thin plastic cross that protrudes from the switches making them quite loose and wobbly not that has a great effect on the typing or gaming but does give it a bit of a low quality feel because of this and the design of the additional keys they provide for the 1 to 5 and the qweras and d keys are in my opinion not usable as they stand proud of the other keys and feel like they would fall off in the middle of a game if you caught the side of them

Also due to the marking on the keys being completely transparent if you dont feel like using the lighting behind the keys it is very difficult to see what key your pressing not that it matters most of the time but its might effect a few folks looking to buy this keyboard

Absence of an indicator to let you know if num lock is on is disappointing too
