mine just arrived today & it is super cool for me . . . at least for now since it is my first official keyboard from logitech at an affordable price . . but loving your reviews .
Hey man thank you because on your channel i found the "Hyper X Double shot PBT Key caps set. Unfortunately i haven't got it yet :( still waiting for it to go on sale on amazon.
I just got this keyboard and it is amazing for the money tbh. It makes it very fun to type. There's one con though, It's very loud and clicky but some people may want that.
That groove sounds pretty nice. Weird that they dont state anything about on their website. I noticed the G12 has a hole in the middle on the front side? whats that for? Kinda weird they dont do that on all their keybaords and that they dont market it, its pretty nice feature!
It's cheap because my G512 Tactile (!@#$%^) Special characters and (mute,+-) Multimedia Keys have backlit on them. 2:16 while the SE don't have. It will be very useful in dark environment. I chose this keyboard because it don't have a light noise (only the keys are being lighted), but seeing the SE's background light. Ughh, it has became like other Mech KB.
Techne! I am so glad you reviewed this keyboard! I bought it a few days ago and I am getting it this week. By the way I purchased the hyperx puddin keycaps and I have read the bottom row does not match this keyboard, do you know if that’s true? Thanks for the video, now I know I did get a deal, managed to purchase it for 35$ brand new
wow $35??? where? and correct the bottom row won't fit. go with the Razer keycaps, and all will fit >> th-cam.com/video/86nU3EBG5cI/w-d-xo.html (BTW the Razer keycaps feel better anyway)
I saw some other reviewers calling it the Silver Edition. On retailer sites, it's called the Special Edition. heck there is nothing Silver on the keyboard or even this mouse >> th-cam.com/video/EmSKFv4V4Zo/w-d-xo.html
Hi Techne! I love your videos but I noticed your background and image is always getting darker and darker, whatsup with that xD , Great vid, and logitech is finally "Stepping it up" with pricing and realizing there are other brands such as the Kemove/ Royal kludge/ GK61 and other brands placing their product in a competitive price point.
There's a huge difference in terms of key backlight, because of the cheaper switches on this one. 1. Not all symbols are backlit (look at number keys for example) and 2. The light spills out underneath the keys, which does not happen with G512 and G513. :) This is the whole reason the 512 and 513 were "special" and more expensive, they had to design the keycaps and switches in such a way that the keys have perfect backlight and zero light spill.
See, this is the kind of stuff I'm trying to find out. My little brother broke his SE, and logitech discontinued it, so they're offering me a standard 512 as replacement, but I couldn't figure out what the difference was. Seems like a regular 512 is a free upgrade for me.
Do you know any gaming keyboard similar to a laptop's keyboard? I mean low profile keys, no clicky/mechanical noises, keys with minimum travel and stuff? I really like the Logitech MX keys, unfortunately it has no rgb.
What's with the threaded hole on the back edge of this keyboard? Is it just a residual molding from another model's features that Logitech didn't bother to remove before producing this one? I've checked a few reviews and nobody seems to mention it... EDIT: I think I've found the answer (it does seem to be vestigial): www.keychatter.com/2018/09/07/whats-with-the-hole-in-the-logitech-g512/
Btw what you said about the usb cable is false the end with the picture of the keyboard only powers your lighting the other one will still allow your keyboard and usb pass through to work just with no lights
I am wondering if I should do a rainbow themed setup or black and red thoughts? Rainbow-(arctic 5, model o-) or red-(hyperex cloud 2, and g-wolves hati red. Also this vid was an awesome review!
Just ordered this. Does it do the ripple lighting effect by chance? Say, if you press one key, it would ripple from that location. I found some posts that there are some things limited in the software with this model as opposed to the non-"SE" edition.
The keyboard is good, it is doing the job.But is the low version of anything you can imagine. Even the led for the numerical pad is missing. The top plate is made from Aluminium. The lower lid it is from plastic, so is quite lite weight. The software is good. The blue led switches are OK, nice touch, nice click sound. The key cap, are low quality comparing with corsair strafe. It is not washable or spill water resistant. 50 $ price , you are in the money !
I bought this keyboard and I really like. A great deal for my needs. However, I cannot install Logitech's software on my work machine. If I configure lighting effects on a different computer, will they persist when the keyboard is used with a machine not running the G HUB software (i.e., is the configuration saved to the keyboard's flash/firmware)? Or does Logitech's software need to be running at all times to take advantage of customized lighting effects?
i love your videos they are one of the top on youtube, i know this question is not relevant to the vid but i wanna buy a new headset for PC would u recommend the logitech g pro x or TB Atlas Aero Wireless
hey everyone, i am asking if u had any key problems after some month with this keyboard, i heard that ppl have problems with the keys after month so i am askin the community
Man I just can't find the perfect keyboard for the right price... On paper this keyboard is perfect, great RGB and software, minimal and sleek design, full size with numpad, and a USB passthrough which I would love to plug the usb receiver for my MX Master into. It's pretty much got everything I want for 60 dollars, except one thing... I wish you had the option of a different kind of switch. I'm okay with blues, but they are so loud, and I would really want to grab this keyboard with something like brown switches.. Too bad. Everything is perfect and the price is great, but I probably won't pull the trigger due to the blue switches.
@@let2637 this discount suggest that most probably XD big discounts like that happens on season, if product is a bit older or people don't but that product
I don't really care that the cable is not removable. What matters to me is that there is no options except for blue switches. Would instantly snag this even for 10-15 dollars more if it had browns.
G502 SE? Edit: Techne thanks for reply, but I meant sometimes in the video you said G502 SE instead of G512 SE. Just a small nit-pick, hope you don't mind.
Great keyboard I just got one for my brother's birthday! By the way do you watch tech of tommorow? It's kind of funny but this video of yours reminded me of his videos lol

why does the amazon picture have blue letters on the box and in your video the letters are grey
Pro tip: you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.

Your energy is so good dude. Been searching for hours for good keyboards and your videos are the best for them
thank you so much
i've had this since december now, still loving it, hasn't let me down once
Just want to know, are the blue switches rlly loud?

Mine was a logitech g15
No joke, you deserve way more subscribers. Most underrated channel in my opinion
Thanks man this helped me out! Have a great day 👍
05:28 and that U shape thing, it is kinda a "Mouse Bungee", u lock ur mouse cable in there so it wont cause pressure on ur mouse if cables are hanging
Waiting for this board to be delivered as I watch this review again lol. Nice stuff Techne.
Such a nice way to be satisfied
samee i cant freakin wait
It sounds so good for blue switches, I could already feel it...
I love this channel you are descriptive and detailed say what you like and don't like and you just have a fun personality
thank you so much!!!
I just got it too! it's awesome for the price.
But maybe too loud
Long Hua owns kailh btw, so these are essentially kailh blue switches.
Just got it and I am surprised how good it is
Typing on this board and i love it.

really great video, man!!
My 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix was the SE version. There was the SE, GT, and GTP. The SE was the lowest model.
so what does se stand for?
The Techne I had always thought “Special Edition,” but the more I think about it, it might mean “Standard Edition”
@@jonstechchannel ahhhh good call. I like to this of them as the Sale edition, lol
The Techne haha I hope they stay on “sale”
longhua is the mother company of kailh. kailh is their switch division.
they changed their branding to kailh eventually.
franzb69 so it's basically a kalih blue
@@jn-ti6oj it's a kailh, but what kind of kailh switch it is, then we are not sure
I'm getting it for Christmas but I want to get my hands on it already. Got it at best buy but can't touch it.

yeah, I think I went a bit overboard in this video, lol. Just testing a few different settings with lighting. I personally don't like it to dark.
Recommended this to my friend cause he needed a cheap board
Plot twist, a keyboard as in music

What is the difference between this and the Carbon one pls? Sorry for my bad English.
And there is media control like pause skip and mute using the function buttons if you look closely it’s painted grey i wish it was white or rgb lit
Aww, i already have a gateron blue mechanical. Im gonna just stick with that until it breaks in 14 years. Its a rakk kimat xt.2 anniversary edition
u Filipino?
I dislike the fact that they painted the shift functions on the keycap. Glad I can just replace some of them
WHy did they added a usb 2 for the passthrough, i men couple years back when it launched usb3 was not something special?!
Do you know any gaming keyboard similar to a laptop's keyboard? I mean low profile keys, no clicky/mechanical noises, keys with minimum travel and stuff? I really like the Logitech MX keys, unfortunately it has no rgb.
Ive been a fan eversince you did the arctis 5 videos
thank you so much for the continued support!
I love uuuuuuuuuuu
No problem master
Btw u should have millions of subs
CAn i get a shout out next vid
Can you switch out the switches to a different type on this model?

I Want This Keyboard But It Keeps Rising In Price On Amazon Its Was £60 Yesterday Now Its £70 Its Gonna Be £300 Next Month
Would you either recommend this keyboard (G213) or the new sgk5? And what do you think about white keycaps on both of them?
I love the simplicity, and value with this board. the only downfall for me, is I'm not a big fan of blue switchs.
I am wondering if I should do a rainbow themed setup or black and red thoughts? Rainbow-(arctic 5, model o-) or red-(hyperex cloud 2, and g-wolves hati red. Also this vid was an awesome review!
you know what my vote is! Red & Black, lol ;)

Do you recommend this keyboard or the Logitech g213 ?
Hi there how would you compare it to ck552, thanks?

same, lol

Which one is better, logitech G512 SE or the Hyperx Alloy?
Can you check out the Logitech g332 se
yeah
Their site is so confusing. For the g512 and g513 you can both choose same switches?!?!
GREAT KEYBOARD, WITH A LOT OF QUALITY, AND CHEAP. Logitech keyboards are so nice, and they give us what we pay for
Are the GX blues like cherry Mx blues?
Yea, i think
I recently got a pc and I’m so happy I like how you can upgrade things
hey everyone, i am asking if u had any key problems after some month with this keyboard, i heard that ppl have problems with the keys after month so i am askin the community
SE stands for Special Edition?
is the rgb zoned or individual key? i may have missed it in the video if you mentioned it
per key, I show in while in the software
so the se version only exist on GX Blue???
Can you plug in a corsair mouse in the usb port?
any mouse
What is the apps for changing lights again???
I would try Logitech G Hub
Is it the same as a apex pro tkl?
Is it true? I heard that some signs are not visible when you work in dark rooms ? For example ? Or ! And some more signs is it true?
the secondary icons on the keycaps are not shinethrough i dont think its a big deal
does it have the normal lightsync rgb or just the rgb like on the g213
yes, I have one and It works
How’d u change the rgb on PS4 ?
It’s not the special edition in silver edition or something like that
