Our Verdict

Razer BlackWidow Lite

Logitech G413 SE

The Razer BlackWidow Lite and the Logitech G413 SE are two wired-only mechanical keyboards with some differences. The Razer is a TKL size with Razer Orange tactile switches, which offer a much better typing quality. All of its keys are macro-programmable, and it has companion software that allows for some customization. On the other hand, the Logitech has PBT keycaps which feel better on the fingertips.
