Keyboard Conundrum!

[D3monw3st]

Hello,

I currently have a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2014, and I've been using this keyboard since release. Unfortunately, a lot of my keys have begun to give up on me and the switches seem to have something stuck within. I've been browsing for a tournament edition keyboard, and I really like how durable my logitech g502 mouse has been (since 2014) as it's still working. 

I'm eyeing the G512 Carbon and was wondering if the tactile keys would be the most similar? I really like the keyboard design as there's no outer casing around each key, so it'll be very easy to clean. I don't like how the fat extra number pad is there, and was wondering if there are any keyboards like this w/o that number pad? 

I was also wondering what the difference between the G512 Carbon and the GPro Mechanical Keyboard. 

Additionally, what's the difference between the G512 and the G513. They look the exact same, except that the G513 has a rest? 

 

Does the logitech pro keyboard and the logitech g512 use the same key? I like how the pro keyboard is tenkeyless, but the design of the g512 doesn't have the case around the keycaps. Would that cause a big problem for cleaning and dust getting trapped in?

Thank you!

1. cherry switches is no longer bulletproof like they used to be, some chinese clones now can do better job and cheaper.
2. omron romer-g sucks. not recommend.
3. take a look at ikbc, a no frill brand that produce good entry level keyboards with cherry switches and pbt caps. (plus being oem design it's hight moddable)
