The G213 is pretty nice. Plus you can spill liquid on it and it'll still be fine, if you're the clumsy type.

Agreed. I have the G213 and the G810 (which is a Romer G mechanical switch) and I prefer the feel of the G810, but it's more expensive, with per-key RGB, where the G213 has only zone lighting options.

You actually like the Rumer G switches?

I do. I had to adjust to them a bit, because they have a short travel compared to the MX Browns, Blues that I used before, but they are quieter than the Browns, even with o-rings installed. I've gone back and forth between it and other keyboards, and overall, I like it a lot. If it came with a wrist support, I'd be happier.

 

If you touch-type and adjust to the shorter travel, you can type almost silently, which is nice. The 213 has mech-dome hybrid switches that aren't Romer G switches and feels a lot mushier. The Romers feel a lot better.

Eh, I don't know I don't kind Logitech membrane keyboards. I hate the Romer G's though. They feel really...cheap compared to Cherry.

I'm still using the MX Brown Corsair K95 Platinum, but I'm keeping the G810 as a backup.

The Corsair K55 RGB is a membrane keyboard with RGB lighting and programmable macro keys.  Let me know if you have any questions about it.
