The Logitech G213 Prodigy is a good keyboard for beginning gamers. It has rubber dome switches. It has a simple plastic frame that is easy to bend, and the keycaps are made of ABS, which feels cheap. Its zone-lit backlighting has no way to change the brightness, and it can only be changed through software. G HUB is good because it can be changed in a lot of ways and is available for both Windows and macOS.
The keyboard’s low actuation force and built-in wrist rest make it comfortable enough to type on all day. However, typing on it doesn’t feel much different from typing on a typical membrane keyboard. There are controls for media, but you can only programme a small number of keys.

Where to buy Logitech G213 Keyboard?
The Logitech G213 Prodigy Gaming Keyboard is a big, full-sized keyboard with a built-in wrist rest that can’t be taken off. It takes up a lot of space on your desk. Check out the Razer Ornata V3 X if you want a similar full-size gaming keyboard with a wrist rest that you can take off.
The quality of the build is not great. The keyboard is made of plastic all the way through, and the board bends very easily. The ABS keycaps feel just as cheap, and as oil builds up on them, they will probably get a shine over time. On the plus side, the cable is braided, and the rubber strip under the keyboard keeps it from moving around pretty well. It says on the package that it can handle spills, but we don’t test for that.
There are five different lighting zones. The numeric keypad and parts of the QWERTY keyboard are two of them. Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) controls everything, so you can choose from 16.8 million colours for the G213 Prodigy’s internal lighting.
There are some good things about the non-mechanical keyboard and some bad things about it. Even though it is quieter than most mechanical keyboards, it doesn’t feel as good as an aftermarket model should. During testing, when pressed hard on the middle keys, the plastic body of the keyboard bent just a little bit. It didn’t seem like it was going to break soon, but it could have been stronger. When I typed, the keyboard was quick to respond.
