Logitech 613 Issues / New Keyboard recommendion

MorbidNature · October 26, 2019

So recently my Logitech 613 has been acting out, particularly the space bar has overly sensitive any contact with it even the slightest activates it.

Now i've tried cleaning the keyboard for any dirt but still no dice (it reduced it slightly but i might be wrong).

Unfortunately i'm pretty sure my local seller's warranty has expired and i don't live in the US so costumer service is gonna be a bitch.

So if you folks have any suggestions for a replacement i'd love to hear them (trying to stick with wireless but feel free to suggest wired)\

One note: I'm Looking for something with a tame design - it's in my studio so im not looking for "Gamery" or something overly RGB'ed

As far as Wireless I know of 2

Logitech 913 - not too keen on the Logitech 913, design is hideous battery life doesn't seem all that great and it a big keyboard

corsair k63 - Most of the reviews i've seen are pretty kind to it and getting rid of the Roamer G switches would be nice but im not sure about the battery life.

I could go for another 613 but after this one failed 2 years after im not exactly keen on buying another one

Anne Pro 2. You can customise its lighting with software. Don't buy a model with Cherry MX switches, get one with Kailh Box switches (recommended) or Gaterons, they are cheaper and are generally better than MX switches.

If you are okay with 60% keyboard Anne Pro 2 is really the best choice, and definitely get it with Kailh Box switches or at least Gaterons instead of cherry,but if you absolutely must have a numpad there are options I would suggest to consider : https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3564 wired,but superb quality, very professional look, keycaps quality is outstanding also, if you would go with this one then my advice would be to get silent reds.

Then there is this one : https://www.amazon.com/Majestouch-Convertible-switch-FKBC104MC-EB2/dp/B00R49LIGU?th=1 it's wireless, but bluetooth only, and it's a bit pricey for what you get, and last but really not the worst is this one :https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Velocifire-VM02WS-Copywriters-Programmer/dp/B07MQD7WNB/ref=pd_sbs_147_t_1/137-5318320-6463305?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07MQD7WNB&pd_rd_r=b5b3fe91-c94b-4ff5-9d36-2544e22d2596&pd_rd_w=CARG5&pd_rd_wg=UL8Zi&pf_rd_p=5cfcfe89-300f-47d2-b1ad-a4e27203a02a&pf_rd_r=7364NME3A5B2Z1769VFC&psc=1&refRID=7364NME3A5B2Z1769VFC&tag=linus21-20 it is very decent for the price, surprisingly so even, only flaw imho it's keycaps being abs rather than pbt, but the keyboard has standard bottom row which enables keycaps to be changed very easily, but tbh the caps of this board are bit better than those on your g613 or those other boards you are considering.

Also just remembered about this one : https://www.amazon.com/CD108BT-Wireless-Mechanical-Keyboard-Bluetooth/dp/B07F611DTB/ref=pd_sbs_147_10?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07F61DNJP&pd_rd_r=361411cc-f42b-414d-b271-2c3220d346d0&pd_rd_w=CkWyf&pd_rd_wg=mOPjx&pf_rd_p=52b7592c-2dc9-4ac6-84d4-4bda6360045e&pf_rd_r=18D62DAC0MTRH7YAZ4AY&refRID=18D62DAC0MTRH7YAZ4AY&th=1 heard a lot of good things about it but haven't had the chance to try it myself, great quality caps, professional look and price is very decent, only downside that it offers only cherry switches. All the keyboards I mentioned are better than your current one or the ones you are considering.
