The Logitech G513 was designed to ease the previous generation G413 model into 2018's feature expectations.

Thankfully, with the G513 Carbon, Logitech has introduced a new version of Romer-G which eschews the aforementioned hump and replaces it with a more linear keypress.

Create it in Windows, save it to the keyboard, and you can use that preset anywhere — even in Linux!That's because there's still per-key RGB lighting, USB passthrough, and that all-important wrist rest to contend with. GX Brown is a traditional mechanical switch providing discernible actuation for gamers who prefer direct tactile feedback. During pandemic and studying from home, it was quite good and nothing rally bothered me during tying and a lighter actuation was not something negative for me.
