The Logitech G413 and the Logitech K845 serve different purposes, as the G413 is designed for gaming and the K845 is designed for office. The G413 is only available with Romer-G Tactile switches, while the K845 has various LogitechGX and Cherry MX switch options. Since the G413 is designed for gaming, it has much lower latencyand iscompatible with Logitech's G HUB software. It also has macro-programmable keys, which the K845 lacks, but it's limited to the function keys only.

TheLogitech G413 SEis the budget version of the Logitech G413. That said, the original G413 performs much better. It has much better latency and is compatible with Logitech G HUB, so it's macro-programmable. Also, it uses Logitech's in-house switches, which provide a much better typing experience than the Long Hua switches found in the G413 SE. On the other hand, the G413 SE upgraded the keycap material to PBT, and the backlighting comes in a different color.

The Logitech G513 is an upgraded version of the Logitech G413 that includes a wrist rest and full RGB backlighting. Theyperformalmost identically. There are some slight differences in the pre-travel distance and operating force, but it's fairly minor and shouldn't be noticeable to most people.

Overall, the Logitech G413 is much better than the Logitech G213 Prodigy. The G413 is a mechanical keyboard with significantly better build quality, andits Romer-G Tactile switches provide a better typing experience.Also, the G413has a USB passthrough, the backlight has brightness settings, and the keys are individually lit. On the other hand, the G213 comes with a built-in wrist rest, andit has dedicated media controls. The backlight on the G413 is limited to a single red color, while the G213 is multi-color.

The Logitech G413 is a much better gaming keyboard than the Logitech G613 LIGHTSPEED. The G413 has red backlighting, which is easier to use at night, and the software allows for a bit more customization. Also, it has better build quality and lower latency. On the other hand, if you prefer a clutterless desk, the G613's wireless design might be better suited for your needs, and its dedicated macro keys make it a better choice for MMO players. It comes with a wrist rest, but it's fixed and isn't removable.

The Logitech G512 Special Edition and the Logitech G413 are very much alike. They both have a full-size layoutand largely the same features and customization options. The G413 is available with Romer-G switchesand has red backlighting. The G512 has full RGB backlightingand is available with GX Blue, Brown, or Red switches.

The Logitech G413 is a better keyboard than the Logitech K840. The G413 has backlighting and has some macro programmable keys, even though it's only limited to the function keys. Overall, the Logitech G413 is pretty much the best option.

Although they're both designed for gaming, the Logitech G413 and the HyperX Alloy FPS Pro are quite different. The Logitech is a full-size keyboard and is only available with Romer-G Tactile switches, while the HyperX is a TKL keyboard that's available with Cherry MX Red or Blue switches. The Logitech is better for gaming because it has much lower latency, macro-programmable keys, and customization software.

TheCorsair K55 RGB PRO XTand the Logitech G413 are both full-sizegaming keyboards, but the Logitech is a better gaming board overall. The Logitech is a mechanical keyboard with Romer-G tactile switches with short pre-travel distance and good tactile feedback. It feels better built and has full red backlighting with individually-lit keys, though there's also a variant with white lighting. It also has media hotkeys and a USB passthrough, but only dedicated macro keys. On the other hand, the Corsair has rubber dome switches that feel fairly heavy and have a long pre-travel distance. It also has a detachable wrist rest, and its companion software has onboard memory but no ability to sync settings to the cloud. It has full RGB backlighting with individually-lit keys. Both keyboards have exceptionally low latency.

TheLogitech G413 and the Redragon K582 SURARA RGB are both wired mechanical keyboards. The Logitech has significantly lower latency, a USB passthrough, and a sturdier-feeling build thanks to its aluminum top plate. On the other hand, the Redragon is more customizable. It hasfull RGB backlighting that you can customize on a per-key basis, unlike the Logitech that only has red. Also, you can set macros to any key on the Redragon, and it's hot-swappable, so you can replace the stock switches with those you prefer.

The Corsair K68 RGB and the Logitech G413 are two very good gaming keyboards, but for different reasons. The Logitech is better-built and has a faster actuation point, but the Corsair offers full RGB lighting and can set macros on every single key. It also comes with a wrist rest, which is a bit more ergonomic for long periods.

The Logitech G413 is a better keyboard than the Logitech K360. The G413 has red backlighting, dedicated macros, and much better companion software that can customize the backlight and features Cloud Sync. That said, the K360 can be used wirelessly with its proprietary receiver.

Update 02/21/2022:Originally, this keyboard was given a score of 7.5 due to the low profile of the board. However, the height of this keyboard falls outside of the low-profile range, and the score is lower as a result since a low-profile keyboard is more ergonomic to use. The review now reflects the change to this ergonomics score.

The Logitech G413 has okay ergonomics. While its profile is fairly low, it's not considered a low-profile keyboard, and you'll likely be more comfortable using a wrist rest with it. Unfortunately, it lacks an included wrist rest, and there's only one incline setting. If you'd like something with a detachable wrist rest, consider the Logitech G513, which is a step up from this keyboard.

This keyboard is compatible with the Logitech G HUB software. It allows for a good amount of customization, but unfortunately, you can't save your custom profiles directly on the board as it lacks onboard memory. On the upside, even if the backlighting is a single red color, you can still apply effects.

There weren't any software issues during testing, but many users online have reported various problems trying to use the Logitech G HUB software, including but not limited to startup issues, freezing, and connection issues with some devices. If you'd like to share your experience using Logitech G HUB with this keyboard, feel free to leave a comment in the discussions section.
