Working from home right now, and was using a Razer Black Widow Tournament Edition with their proprietary green switches (much like Cherry MX blues).
My wife also works from home and we share an office, and the keyboard was just SOO loud. So I wanted something quieter and also easier to type due to some arthritis in my fingers.
I like Logitech, and since I already have a Logitech mouse (G502) it made sense to look for unified software so I didn't have to have so many running at once. Not even counting the shenanigans of Razer's Synapse.
So now on to the Logitech G413:
Looks: The board has a solid, clean look. It doesn't have extra buttons, which I like (I have tried other keyboards with extra macro keys on the left of the keyboard, this caused some typing errors due to my muscle memory using the end keys to index. With extra G-keys, it caused a problem with this.) and overall the keyboard is very minimalistic. It comes only with red backlighting, which is fine since I have a red and black color scheme for my computer. The backlighting can be turned to various levels of brightness, or off. You can also make it do a breathing effect, which I never use. I leave it at the second to brightest setting, and static.
Feel: The keyboard is very sturdy, with no deck flex. The keys themselves have no wobble, and have a matte finish. This takes a little big of getting used to, since the fingers don't necessarily slide from one to another as easily as shiny keys, but they do prevent a lot of grease build up. The height and adjustments put the keyboard at a great angle. The Romer-G keys are probably the main reason I chose this keyboard. A lot of people really seem to dislike them, mostly it seems because they don't work with customizable key caps and can't be replaced. This is a non-issue for me. I just wanted a keyboard to work and to leave as is. I like the keys and switch feel, even though some have compared them closer to rubber domes than to the Cherry MX Brown tactiles they're often claimed to be similar to. Overall, I like the switches and the keys.
Features: This works with the Logitech Gaming Software or the the newer software; however, I like to use the older LGS software as its a lot more minimalistic. You have options to bind G keys to your F keys with the toggle on the keyboard, similar to layers on smaller keyboard layouts. I never use them, personally. But they are there if you want them to be.
Overall: I like this keyboard a lot. It's much quieter than the Razer, and I think the construction is a bit better quality. It doesn't come with a wrist rest, which is a drawback. I did buy a Razer full-sized wrist rest to use with it, and it matches up quite well.
I would definitely recommend this to a prospective keyboard buyer who just wants a basic mechanical keyboard that works, with little frill and quiet but confident typing ability.

Inspiration from this brand
It could have been a decent keyboard
Excellent keyboard for gaming. It has a fast response and it can take some punishment for when the game gets to your nerves. Being heavy, it is very stable and this help a lot for both typing and gaming. It is mechanical, and I am one of those who love how these keyboards feel. But, it has only a pass through USB, which is not very competitive nowadays, as we have keyboards offering USB hubs which are much more convenient. And the main reason for why it gets 3 stars from me are the keycaps quality. As you can see in the picture, they peel off in like one month. Mine came with extra spare caps, which I used, but they are the same poor quality and they peel off as well. Not sure why they made a good keyboard and added such a poor quality caps for it.

Little early 5 star review but I absolutely love this keyboard!
Migrated from a ROCCAT ISKU keyboard and bought this because of the good reviews and because I missed the tactile feel of my old ABS M1 mechanical keyboard. Reason I left the M1 in the first place is that the Black Alps switches were just too dang loud. My wife would complain that she could hear me typing in the other room. The Romer switches on the 413 are still decently loud but very tolerable. Personally, I like a loud switch but it can be intrusive to other people in the house.
PROS: Love the feel and sound of this keyboard. Looks amazing! The layout and minimal but very useful features are great. Personally really like the gaming mode where it disables the WINDOWS key. Price wasn't bad at $84 right here on Amazon. Also made use of the optional keys for WASD gaming.
CONS: Haven't really found one yet. You might need a wrist rest if you do a lot of typing. Haven't needed one for gaming so thats not an issue for me. One issue I had was the space bar had a sharp, snappy/clicky noise sometimes and I was on the edge of returning it.. But I removed the key and fiddled with it a bit and all is well.
All in all I highly recommend this keyboard. The price is a great point for what feels like a top quality mechanical keyboard with minimal features but ones you will actually use. My ROCCAT keyboard had way to many keys that I never used and most just got in the way and were usually hit on accident.
Thumbs up!
