Last Updated on January 27, 2022 by Asif Iqbal Shaik

Logitech is continuing its lineage of mechanical keyboards by launching two new products in its lineup. The Logitech G G413 SE and the G413 TKL SE will be tweaked versions of the company’s popular G413 keyboard. As these products come under Logitech’s ‘G’ gaming-oriented products, both keyboards sport white backlighting. Both the SE models are advertised to be suitable for home and office use as well. 

Logitech G G413 SE, G413 TKL SE Features, Specifications

Logitech uses a top case made of aluminium-magnesium alloy. The keycaps are black PBT, which improves durability over the original G413 keyboard’s ABS plastic keycaps. However, Logitech hasn’t mentioned if these are double-shot PBT. 

The switches below the keycaps are touted to offer tactile feedback. They come with an operating force of 50 grams and have an activation point of 1.9 millimetres with a key travel of four millimetres. The SE keyboards appear to have different switches from the standard G413, which has Logitech Romer-G tactile switches with 45 grams of operating force, 1.5mm actuation point, and a travel distance of 3.2 millimetres. Theoretically, the SE keyboards might require more force than the standard G413 keyboard.

Logitech says that the G413 SE keyboards are built for gamers as it features six-key rollover and anti-ghosting. However, it skimps on linear switches, which gamers rave about. Another proof of cost-cutting is that these keyboards don’t feature reprogrammable keys.  

Logitech G G413 SE, G413 TKL SE Price, Availability

The Logitech G G413 SE is priced at $80 (approx. ₹5,990), while the G413 TKL SE comes with a price tag of $70 (approx. ₹5,245) in the US. Both models will go on sale in February. It remains to be seen. whether Logitech would bring these to India.
