Review on Logitech Backlit Mechanical Keyboard Passthrough by Andrew Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

In 3 days. PERFECT keyboard for me.

A little early 5 star review but I love this keyboard so much! Switched from a ROCCAT ISKU keyboard and bought it based on the good reviews and missing the tactile feel of my old ABS M1 mechanical keyboard. The reason I left the M1 in the first place is because the Black Alps switches were loud as hell. My wife complained that she heard me typing in the next room. The Romer switches on the 413 are still quite loud, but tolerable. I personally like the noisy switch but it can disturb other people in the house. PROS: I love the feel and sound of this keyboard. Looks great! The layout and minimal but very useful features are great. Personally, I really like the game mode where the WINDOWS key is disabled. The price wasn't bad - $84 right here at Revain. Additional keys were also used for WASD games. CONS: Not found yet. If you type a lot, you might need a wrist rest. It's not needed for gaming, so not a problem for me. One problem I had was that the spacebar sometimes made a harsh, harsh/clicking noise and I was close to getting it back. But I removed the key and fiddled with it a bit and everything is fine. Overall, I highly recommend this keyboard. The price is a good argument for what appears to be a high quality mechanical keyboard with minimal features that you will actually use. There were many keys on my ROCCAT keyboard that I never used and most of them just got in the way and were usually pressed accidentally. Thumbs up!

Pros
  • The Romer-G mechanical switch is specifically designed for professional performance, fast response and durability.
Cons
  • Expensive
