Our Verdict

Logitech G413

Logitech G413 SE

The Logitech G413 SE is the budget version of the Logitech G413. That said, the original G413 performs much better. It has much better latency and is compatible with Logitech G HUB, so it's macro-programmable. Also, it uses Logitech's in-house switches, which provide a much better typing experience than the Long Hua switches found in the G413 SE. On the other hand, the G413 SE upgraded the keycap material to PBT, and the backlighting comes in a different color.
