Logitech G512 CARBON LIGHTSYNC RGB Linear Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Keys are nice and responsive and you can set the RGB lights up as you want. Beware that the secoundary features of the keys are not backlit and are in a very pale gray colour. This makes them almost impossible to see in medium to low light (or if you have old eyes like me) Secoundary functions - ie 1 2 3 4 5 are ! @ # $ % or media functions on the Function keys. Made this keyboard worthless to me and Logitech unable to assist regarding changing key caps. Keys are nice and responsive and you can set the RGB lights up as you want.

Paint on keys tends to wear at the edges, and is highly visible due to the backlighting of the keys.
One key's stem broke quickly and PB Tech had to replace the keyboard entirely instead of the specific key.
The switch under one key on my replacement provided has since started trriggerring twice on occasion.

Otherwise feels good to use. Paint on keys tends to wear at the edges, and is highly visible due to the backlighting of the keys.

A great keyboard with very responsive keys. However, weirdly the backlight on this keyboard only shows the main letters or numbers on the keys, the alternate digits (i.e: ! @ # $ % etc) are not backlit. My previous keyboard which was the Logitech G413 Carbon, had everything on the keys backlit. The same goes for all the keys on the number pad, only the numbers are backlit, not the alternate functions. For this reason I would not recommend this keyboard. One would think going from G413 to G512 would be an upgrade.... A great keyboard with very responsive keys.

Easy to install and fits in with my Logitech controllers for flight sime Easy to install and fits in with my Logitech controllers for flight sime

My son likes the customisability that comes with the Logitech G hub app.
Works great with other Logitech devices. Easy integration with a g-shift button on a logitech mouse.
My favourite thing about it is the way it can light up in sync with music.
The only thing I wish the keyboard had is a num lock status light. My son likes the customisability that comes with the Logitech G hub app.

Very Excellent! Very Excellent!

Looks beautiful and is well designed for ease. The keys have a satisfying click. One knock is that there is no built in hand rests but this is clearly displayed when you buy the product.

The Logitech G512 CARBON LIGHTSYNC RGB Linear Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is my first new gaming keyboard in ten years and it's fantastic! An amazing gaming keyboard for an amazing price. The added USB port is really very handy and the RGB is a visual treat. Overall an excellent package with no cons at this point, just enjoyment. Thanks PB TECH!

Nice, solid keyboard. Its quite hefty - it takes a lot to move it on the desk. I like the usb connector on the top right, pity there is only one of them though. I guess an integrated USB hub would have driven the price up though.

Keywise, a bit heaver to type on than I expected compared to other keyboards with browns I've used before, but it doesnt take long to get used to.

Just a single minor complaint is that the keys dont fully light up - think the secondary symbols on the number keys, etc. If you're sitting in complete darkness these secondaries are not visible unlike a previous coolmaster keyboard I've been using.

I've had this keyboard twice now. The first time, I won it as a prize. The keys are crisp and have an amazing feel to them, and the clicking is everything you could ever want from a mechanical keyboard. It looks amazing, sleek, and has a good weight to it. Not flimsy at all.

The only con I have with it is the first one I had, the lights began failing within a year. The lights didn't die by the colors were completely random and inconsistent. It's the reason why I'm not still using it, though I have it as a backup since the keys themselves are perfectly fine. I've had this keyboard twice now. The first time, I won it as a prize.
