Logitech followed the difficult path, deciding to release its own switches and not rely on either expensive Cherry MX switches or cheaper alternatives. The result justifies their decision, as the keyboard has the best feel I have ever experienced, much better than the cherry mx brown that I mainly use. It is slightly noisier than Cherry MX brown, but its main advantage for me is the feeling of solidity it provides when pressed. It is also aesthetically pleasing, a heavy metal piece with illuminated keys and two LEDs, nothing else. The color of the keys is only white on my silver one, with four levels of brightness, the last one being very strong.
As for the extras, I should mention the very thick cable, as well as the USB port it incorporates, which, in order to work, requires both ports of the cable to be connected to the tower.
I was hesitant to buy it because I read about sensitive keycaps that break easily. I bought it second-hand, with one key already broken. And as if the fact that the keycaps break wasn't enough, the broken stems of the key remain inside the switch and it takes some effort to remove them. I bought a replacement key and everything is fine.
Personally, after two months of normal use (without games that require button smashing), I don't see such a thing happening easily. I have removed all the keys to clean them, I removed them very carefully and I don't find it so easy for them to break. Admittedly, however, Logitech's support system seems much more sensitive than that of other switches, but it probably offers such a good feel because the attachment covers the entire surface of the key and not just the center. Because I fell in love with the keyboard and want it to last "forever," I also bought a set of replacement keys from the company's website, just to be safe. In conclusion, the keys do indeed seem more sensitive than the competition, but in practice, I'm not sure if there is such a big problem in normal use.
Disadvantages. It does not have hardware shortcut keys (only combinations of FN with the F keys) and you cannot control its few lighting options through the keys, you have to enter the heavy application and make the changes. Personally, I don't want any fancy effects, I just want it to be permanently off, permanently on, and off again, with each key I press lighting up. It does the first two, but not the last one, a big drawback for me.
Overall, it is a simple, strict, sturdy keyboard that - for me - has the best feel I have ever experienced. The software and the lack of key lighting during their press are the only two shortcomings I can find, while I cannot be sure about the durability of the keys over time, but for now, I have no indications of reduced durability.
I am trying to convince the kids to give it to me and give them my (excellent) Coolermaster Masterkeys pro L white, but they are not interested!..
Update September '22. So far, teeth have broken off from many keys, and recently, 3-4 keys have started registering multiple presses with a single press.

The keyboard is aluminum, beautiful, sturdy, with very good key response and impeccable typing feel.
The low rating is due to the unacceptable poor quality of the keycaps. After normal use for 2 years, I found 5 keys with broken stems. The broken stems are always the short ones and get stuck inside the switch, requiring a lot of effort to remove. Logitech uses Romer-G switches and it seems there is a known issue with the keycap covers.
I bought it from Plaisio and their service refused to repair it within the warranty, claiming the damage was due to misuse. After strong complaints, they suggested I buy a new one at a better price! The broken keys are the left Control, TAB, 4, INS, right SHIFT. For now, I am waiting for a response from the Greek Logitech representative.
Do not buy it!

(Update): Logitech informed me that they acknowledge the product is defective and will replace it. Unfortunately, I have been waiting for 2 months now and every time they respond via email that the process is delayed.

(Update2): Logitech finally replaced the keyboard with a new one and so far, after 1 month of use, there is no issue. Plaisio did not recognize the damage within the warranty.

Conclusions:
1) Never buy from the store since they do not honor their warranty.
2) The keyboard is very good but it has Romer-G keys for which you cannot find keycaps anywhere in Europe. They only exist with a price of 5-8€ per keycap. Therefore, if they wear out or break, you're out of luck. Be very careful about this!

Look for reviews about Romer-G keycaps and similar cases with problematic keys. Romer-G switches are only used in Logitech keyboards, so you cannot find spare keycaps in case of wear or damage.

  In 2 years it went off. 4-5 keys broke and cannot be replaced, as the 'teeth' broke and remained inside. The use I made was very mild and did not include gaming, continuous key pressing, etc

  This review is about the colour: Black

  After a year of use:
  It has the most pleasant keys of all the keyboards I have tried.
  It's amazing for typing, but it's also annoying that it registers double presses.
  In gaming use, it's super and I've never noticed a double press.
  Since I type quite a bit and quickly, and the double presses annoy me, I only use it for gaming.
  Overall, it's decent but requires very frequent cleaning.

  Very nice feel. The reason I gave 3 stars is due to the fact that the caps break easily over time from the switches and the only solution is either for them to pop off on their own or to glue them as a last resort.

  It's a shame because it was a nice keyboard, I really liked the feel of the click... And after 3 years, it started doing what other users say, some keys double press and some don't press at all. For example, the left arrow key doesn't work, which had no use at all.

  I bought it because I trust the brand and for 2 years it was very good with a very nice clicky feeling on the keys and customizable through the G Hub application.
  However, in the 2 years it started to not work properly. It was impossible to type text as some keys either did not respond and some gave double !!! Eventually, I got another keyboard from the same company with different type of switches. Apparently, the Romer G switches are not so reliable.
  Better look for something else or spend more money on something better because I read that almost all G413 users have the same problem...

  Chattering (double tapping or no response at all) on 3 buttons after a short gaming usage and not on the buttons that were chattering. The measurement was done with specialized software. Purchased on 24/9/2021.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  After four years, the keyboard started to double click on the ctrl and space keys (as seen in my text). Of course, this is after daily, long hours of work, school, and gaming, which makes it susceptible to damage. However, there was no issue with buttons coming off or flying away, etc.
  Pleasant for gaming, typing, high profile, the addition of a USB on the back of the keyboard is quite good and useful, good responsiveness. It is audible at night, but not clicky. The lighting is very good, discreet, and does not have RGB. Cleaning is not the easiest.
  For the €80 I bought it for in 2020, it was a decent construction. If I manage to solve the double click issue, I will update.
  Update 25/1/2024: The double click also affects other buttons, e.g., the numpad, which does not receive daily heavy use. It has nothing to do with the main buttons that are used.

  After almost 4 years of use, I can say that I am quite satisfied (it was purchased for about €75) and I consider it worth the money. Except for the relatively difficult cleaning, it seemed very convenient to me. However, recently 1-2 buttons started to come off, so it's time to replace it

  This review is about the colour: Black

  I'm not saying it's a good keyboard, it has a nice feel and sound, but it started having some issues even with light use. After a certain point, even though it was cleaned frequently, some keys started double-tapping on their own and getting stuck. It's unacceptable, unfortunately one of the keys completely stopped working to the point where I had to open it up and fix it myself. It's unacceptable for the price

  This keyboard is quite beautiful and the build quality is amazing except for the keys (which after cleaning, their poor construction becomes noticeable when you place them back).

  I bought it for the price of 62 euros.
  While I am very satisfied with the current price (100), I would not prefer it.

  double click / click not register on 50% of the keys after 1 year of use. Lubricated with 205g0 and it improves, but it requires unnecessary time and effort. Personally, I find it unacceptable for such products to end up in the hands of consumers with poor quality lubrication or none at all.

  As long as it works, it has good feel and response. As long as it works. I have bought two, in the first one some keys stopped working, within warranty, and there was an immediate replacement. In the second one, suddenly some keys stopped working again but it is now out of warranty. It is not worth its money, unfortunately, even though I am a fan of Logitech, this keyboard failed.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  After a year and a half, it started doing what other users say. Some buttons were not working, like when you're in a fight and you want to press shift to run and it doesn't respond. And not only shift, but other buttons too. I would press codes that you can't see what you're typing and they would enter incorrectly, but not just once, but twice or three times. Overall, it has keyboard issues. Luckily, I was still under warranty, Logitech gives a two-year warranty, so I took it to the store where I bought it and they gave me store credit equal to the amount I purchased it for, so I could get another one. In the end, it's a pretty good gaming keyboard. Overall, avoid it.

  Stay away, do not buy it. Unfortunately, it does what others mention. After a year of light use, the keys do not press correctly... they either need to be pressed 2-3 times, resulting in typing like this or they do not press at all. In other words, it's a waste. I wonder how it is on the market, such a faulty product.

  Edit: With the use of D40 spray, it seems to fix the issue, so every now and then you need to remove all the keys, clean them, and spray the D40 spray inside the keys. I am not completely satisfied with it, but something happened

  Perhaps the worst keyboard you can get for the money. Extremely poor switches that easily break, this keyboard should cost at most 30-40 euros, not 70-80 euros. It has the worst switches compared to all keyboards in its price range. You'd be better off buying the motospeed ck108 for 50 euros a thousand times than this thing they called a "budget keyboard."

  This review is about the colour: Black

  After 2 years of daily, extensive use for typing/gaming, a mechanical keyboard of medium budget is nothing less and nothing more.
  Its sturdy construction makes you feel like you got a very premium product, to some extent.
  The switches have a satisfactory Romer G-tactile feel, but they can't be compared to cherry mx switches in terms of quality and price, as they are two different things. I have read in several comments that after a period of use, many keys lose their proper functionality and either don't register at all or register multiple times with one press. WELL, THAT'S THE REASON I WROTE THIS REVIEW!!! Because I experienced it myself.
  BUT MY FRIENDS, THOSE WHO KNOW... KNOW
  After an extensive 2-hour cleaning of all the keys and switches with Plastikcleaner spray and WD-40 contact cleaner, all the keys are functioning normally again (after waiting for another 2 hours for them to dry properly, of course).
  Now, as for the plastic keycaps... so be it... as we said, it's a budget keyboard, whoever pays attention knows it.
  Overall, I would give it a 4/5 rating, as I believe it should be priced around 50 Euros instead of the 75 I paid for it.

  Unfortunately, as mentioned by others after three years of mild use, it started acting crazy, meaning either it doesn't respond to what you type or it enters it twice or three times. I wouldn't recommend it!!!

  This review is about the colour: Black

  After 2 years, several key caps had broken "legs" that attach, some keys would type twice and some never at all... disappointment, sometimes it took me 1 minute to write ONE word!

  For those whose stem is broken inside, take a thin needle, burn the tip and when it ignites, stick the needle into the broken stem, not all the way in, until it bites, leave it for a few seconds to cool with the needle stuck in, then pull and the needle will come out with the remaining piece inside... if it fails, repeat the process.

  P.S: Never again Romer G Omrron..!

  Stay away from this Keyboard.
  It looks good, however, within a week (without any mistreatment) the 2 controls broke and they don't work anymore.
  You can find MUCH better keyboards even for less money. Stay away.

  - Quite good typing sensation
  - Quality construction, ultimately it's just a feeling, the keys on the left side give up one by one, without any mishandling (slamming, water, etc.) either not responding to typing or entering multiple keystrokes.
  - A color option, personally it didn't bother me.
  - 80 euros and after 3 years I want another one (yes, I've had it since 2019 and the problems started in 2021), without any mishandling, no, it's not worth it.
  - The additional USB port is convenient

  After about 1 year of operation, the keys started to have problems. You press once and it displays triple. Very bad for a company like Logitech. I searched a lot and it seems to be a common problem with this type of keys.

  On the positive side, the price and design are good.

  Update: I removed the keys, cleaned them with compressed air, and applied WD40. They work fine after 1 day, but the sound seems to have changed a bit (not something bad, just deeper). Anyway, I didn't expect such quality of construction from Logitech, they had accustomed me to high standards...

  Do you remember the old Microsoft keyboards?
  Once, I hit it so hard out of frustration that I thought nothing would be left. However, it managed to survive for many more years.
  Fast forward many years later... I clean the devil with isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush. I turn it upside down to let any debris fall, but instead, 5-6 keys fall, broken!!!!
