I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

I consider only Razer Orbweaver and Razer Tartarus as competitors, because at the moment you can’t find other devices of this type on sale. The competitors may be better in some ways, but in terms of price they outperform the G13 by an average of 20%.
In order not to overpay, I took my G13 from my hands for 3000. I'm happy as an elephant! I actually got a new device. It seems that the G13 has been used all my life, it sits on the arm like a native. There are bugs, but they don't bother me at all. I can safely recommend to buy. As the best combination of price / quality at the moment.
ZY: For those who were crying about the fact that the design was copied from the Belkin Nostromo n52te, I advise you to move to the competitors' page and cry there, because they are the ones who were copied. The design of the G13 is unique.

Pros

1) The design is top notch. Looks very cool. Heavy, does not fidget on the table. 2) 24 programmable keys + 5 way joystick (competitors have 22 at the most). 3) Ability to set up 3 profiles for each application. 4) The ability to download applets for the display, to expand the functionality. 5) The ability to assign keys not only the functions of keyboard buttons, but also macro, text, mouse keys, multimedia control, classic "Windows" combinations (such as copy, paste, etc.), as well as commands for Ventrilo. 6) Ability to assign a mouse function to the joystick (although for my taste, this is not convenient). 7) Convenient unified Logitech Gaming Software that also recognizes my keyboard and mouse (Logitech G11 and Logitech G300). 8) Fully customizable backlight (you can pick up absolutely any shade).

Cons

1) Ergonomics. Not all of the 24 keys are convenient to press while in the game. Especially the right (bottom) on the joystick block. Keys with recesses (under WSAD) are too forward. For my taste, a controversial decision for an MMORPG. It was necessary to leave the first row of buttons for other functions. 2) Claim to the software, not to the keyboard. The software does not have the function of moving the mouse in a macro (the so-called "axis macro"). Here their Chinese from A4Tech jumped on two corps . 3) Claim to the software, not to the keyboard. Spontaneous quick macro recording. More than once it happened that in the midst of the game, I had a quick macro recording (MR), although I did not turn it on 100%. It is very infuriating when the boss flattens you, and you completely lose control of the character. Maybe someone knows how to disable this quick macro? 4) Completely inadequate price in stores while it cost around 3000, it was still possible to think about purchasing, now only in the secondary market (that is, from the hands). But it should be noted that competitors are now even more expensive. 5) The body of the boy creaks. Although maybe it's my paw heavy.
