It is no longer a taboo thing, empowering the advantages of a mechanical keyboard, as a support for gamers when playing games. But unfortunately, not a few of these devices that have a selling price is quite expensive.
This is what Logitech uses. Relying on their new products titled G413 SE and G413 TKL SE, the hardware for typing this, has an affordable price.
So what about its greatness? What the hell does the new product from Logitech have to offer, and it's about as good as it gets?
To give an overview and answer your curiosity, here is a brief review of the Logitech G413 TKL SE.
Design
Of the two new products spread in the market, it just so happened that our team came the Logitech G413 TKL SE. Where the difference is quite simple with the full size version, namely this device does not have a number button on the right, print screen, scroll lock and pause break.
However, for all features and specifications offered there is no difference between full size and TKL. However, if you are the type of person who does not insist on the number keys, you may fall in love with the G413 TKL SE alone.
When he visited, nothing special was offered in terms of product packaging. Logitech chose a more minimalist design, but it didn't look cheap.
When opening it, users will only be offered one keyboard with a fairly long plug cable. Approximately about 1.8 meters and at the end is presented USB Type A.
Finishing each keycap is pretty perfect. Not loose or too narrow, one to the other. Everything feels fit and solid.
In general, you must see it is very simple, with a full black base color. It's just that the plastic material on the bottom and aluminum alloy on it, reinforces the minimalist impression and looks really elegant.
Plus the placement of each symbol on the F1 to F12 keys. Where the developer moved it at the bottom. So it doesn't look crowded, when you look at it from a top position.
Then there is the Logitech logo which has a fitting size on the right end, not too big or small. Then next to it there are indicators for the Capslock and Scroll Lock (Scrlk) keys.
Nearby there are no extra buttons. Only the usb keyboard cable is already attached and cannot be removed.
Move at the bottom, featuring technical specifications, four rubber supports and two risers. Even though the holder has been used, the keyboard position still looks low.
The weight itself is quite light reaching 650 grams and very sturdy. It is about 33 mm long, 127 mm wide and 36.3 mm high.
So no need to worry about size. Because it does not take up much space when using it at the work desk.
Features and Performance
Speaking of features and performance, the Logitech G413 TKL SE is powered by a Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) Keycap. So it has a high resistance to friction and heat.
So even though users wear it intensively and for a long time, it does not make it wear or break. Then the backlight from this keyboard, can only be seen when the USB cable is plugged.
Because otherwise, it will only look plain black. However, the LED light that is inserted is only one color, namely white, not RGB like gaming keyboards in general.
Interestingly, the backlight has three levels of brightness. Where you can set it using Fn+F1 to dim and Fn+2 serves to increase the brightness.
Well, if you feel bored with the lighting style, you can adjust the arrangement. At least five effects have been prepared, by changing them using the Fn+F12 keys.
Plus there is an interesting feature, where you can lock the Windows key. How to activate it, by pressing Fn+Windows+K. This keeps it from appearing, if you accidentally press it.
Later, the Logitech G413 TKL SE is also equipped with a Tactile Mechanical Switch. This feature is able to provide incredible feedback, when gamers use it to play competitive games.
Includes a 6-key anti-ghosting rollover, which ensures six keys on the keyboard, can be pressed simultaneously. But surprisingly, it turns out that after testing, more than six buttons can be active simultaneously.
Unfortunately, the Logitech G413 TKL SE does not support its own built -in application entitled Logitech G Hub. Though this series enters as a range of their gaming hardware.
Our Opinion
Okay get into the final discussion, which is the conclusion after trying to use it. In terms of display design, this is really satisfying, because it is not too flashy, simple, but looks luxurious and elegant.
The combination of black on the body and white LEDs on the keycap, does not give a tacky effect. The body is sturdy, with a combination of plastic on the bottom and aluminum alloy on it.
Regarding performance, it is very comfortable when trying to play competitive games such as Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA), namely Dota 2 and First Person Shooter (FPS) such as Valorant. The feedback given was really good, although not as noisy as other gaming mechanical keyboards.
Despite labeling itself as a gaming keyboard, the Logitech G413 TKL SE does not have an RGB lighting feature. Because it only provides white LEDs, with various effects have been inserted by the developer.
However, another important point, it makes it more friendly and can be enjoyed by others who do not have a hobby of playing games. So that use in the office or for casual activities is very suitable, both in terms of visual and sound.
