It’s difficult to describe, but the switches now feel crisper, and I like them better than those on other Logitech keyboards such as the G Pro. Having said that, the switches on the G613 feel different, although Logitech didn’t highlight any changes that it made. I’ve actually never been a fan of the Romer-G switches, as I find they can be quite fatiguing to type on over long hours. It uses Logitech’s Romer-G switches and Cherry-style stabilizers, which feature a very slight tactile bump and are probably closest to Cherry MX Brown switches. The good news is that the G613 is both a solid mechanical gaming keyboard and wireless peripheral. I’m discounting keyboards such as the Filco Majestouch MINILA Air because that only uses Bluetooth, which definitely doesn’t perform as well as a connection made over the 2.4GHz band.
The G613 keyboard is one of the first keyboards that I’m aware of to properly combine mechanical switches with wireless operation.
It’s a wireless mechanical gaming keyboard There are no fancy RGB lights and the G613 is decidedly plain-looking, which could be a boon or disappointment depending on your personal preferences.
Still, I should point out that its stellar wireless capabilities aside, these are fairly no-frills products for those who just want a functional, practical device. The keyboard run off a pair of AA batteries, but Logitech is claiming months-long battery life for it, so the idea is that there’s no need to constantly worry about recharging the G613 either. That said, it’s a good thing that the keyboard perform as it does, because there’s no way to use it in wired mode. I marveled at the stellar wireless performance on the G900, and Razer has since gotten on board with its own Adaptive Frequency Technology (AFT) that works great as well. They transmit in the 2.4GHz band, which is used by everything ranging from wireless routers to cordless phones, but it seems like companies have figured out how to circumvent these issues. You’ll also get a convenient extension cable that you can plug the dongle into, just in case you need to place it closer to the device. I didn’t experience any latency issues, and I could have sworn I was using wired devices. I’ve no way of verifying this, but I can say that the keyboard feel responsive and reliable. The G613 uses Logitech’s Lightspeed wireless technology, which promise a speedy 1ms report rate for performance that’s indistinguishable from their wired counterparts. The setup process for the keyboard was blissfully simple – plug the dongle in and flick a switch, and voila! The Logitech G613 wireless keyboard were made for those who hate cables.
