The Logitech G413 was our favorite budget gaming keyboard of yesteryear. Now, as the Logitech G513, it has seen a major makeover with RGB lighting, an included palm rest and even a whole new linear switch.
The result is a more fully-featured keyboard in a still compact and streamlined frame. However, all those extra fixings add up to a substantially higher $149 or £159 (about AU$200) price, moving away from the budget-minded nature of the $89 (£99, AU$149) Logitech G413.
