# Logitech G413 SE review

> **Our verdict:** The best mechanical keyboard in 2026 is the Logitech G413 SE. It tops our ranking with 8.8 out of 10.

No. 1 of 10 in our [mechanical keyboards ranking](https://vettedten.com/tech/mechanical-keyboards/) · Updated November 2026 · [How we rank](https://vettedten.com/how-we-rank/)

**8.8 out of 10** · Best Choice

The Logitech G413 SE is a wired, full-size mechanical keyboard with tactile switches, PBT keycaps and a white backlight. It suits anyone who wants a numpad and a plain, solid board for typing and games.

Why it's here:

- Full size with a numpad in a UK English layout
- Tactile switches that suit typing as well as games
- Brushed aluminium top case and PBT keycaps
- A two-year warranty

Keep in mind:

- Backlight is white only
- No hot-swap sockets, so the switches stay as they are
- No wireless, wrist rest or media dial, which rivals at this price sometimes add

## Why the Logitech G413 SE scores 8.8

- How happy owners are: 1st of 10
- How many rated it: 1st of 10
- How new it is: 8th of 10

### No. 1 and No. 2 are level

The Logitech G413 SE and the ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless score the same, so either is a safe pick. The Logitech G413 SE goes first because it leaves owners a little happier.

## About the Logitech G413 SE

The G413 SE is a full-size wired keyboard, so it has the numpad and a standard layout. The version sold in the UK defaults to an English UK (QWERTY) layout. Logitech also makes it in several European layouts, but the UK one is the default.

The switches are tactile mechanical ones, which Logitech describes as giving subtle feedback at the point of actuation. The keycaps are PBT. The top case is black brushed aluminium, a 5052 low-carbon alloy. The board has 6-key rollover with anti-ghosting.

Lighting is a white LED backlight only. There is no RGB. Logitech's own staff say on a retailer Q&A that Fn and F1 lower the brightness, down to off. The page lists no wireless, no media controls and no wrist rest, so this is a basic wired board by design.

## What owners report about the Logitech G413 SE

Owner feedback on the full-size G413 SE is thin, and much of what is published covers the tenkeyless version. What there is points to a board that does the basics. A non-gamer owner on a retailer Q&A found it entirely satisfactory for everyday use, and Logitech's reply there confirms the backlight can be dimmed to off from the keyboard.

The one repeated complaint comes from owners of the tenkeyless G413 SE in a forum thread: the light under a key near the navigation cluster stopped working, and keys went yellowish over time. That is a different board, so treat it as a possible weak spot rather than a known fault on this one.

A UK review site that tried the full-size board found it sturdy, with no problems so far. It found the keys a little stiff at first, then fluid once used to them, and the sound quieter than other mechanical boards. It noted the missing RGB and the larger desk footprint compared with a tenkeyless board.

## Who the Logitech G413 SE suits

Buy it if you want a full-size board with a numpad in a UK layout, tactile switches, and a build that feels solid for a budget price. It works for typing and for games, and it needs no software.

Look elsewhere if you want wireless, a volume dial, colour lighting or a wrist rest. The Keychron V6 Max is a full-size wireless board with a knob, and the Corsair K70 CORE RGB is a full-size UK-layout board with a dial. If desk space is tight, the Keychron K8 Pro is a tenkeyless alternative.

## Questions about the Logitech G413 SE

### Is the Logitech G413 SE keyboard good?

Yes, for the basics. It is a wired full-size board with tactile switches, PBT keycaps and an aluminium top case. Reviewers fault it for having fewer features than rivals, such as no RGB, no media keys and no wrist rest.

### Can the Logitech G413 SE change colour?

No. The backlight is white LED only. You can dim it, but there are no colour options.

### What switches does the Logitech G413 SE have?

Tactile mechanical switches. Logitech describes them as giving subtle feedback at the actuation point, and they are not linear or clicky.

### Can you turn the backlight off on the Logitech G413 SE?

Yes. Logitech says Fn and F1 lower the brightness to zero. With the light off, the legends on the keys are hard to read in the dark.

## How we score it

Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. We haven't read the review sites for this guide yet, so for now it is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 17 models for this guide before settling on these ten.

Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
