Buy the Redragon Mechanical Gaming Keyboard.
It gives you hot-swappable switches and keycaps that do not shine with use, for less than half what the Logitech charges.

Five reasons
1. Pay $38 more and get less keyboard
The Redragon is $29.99 to the G413 SE's $67.99, yet it adds hot-swap sockets and PBT keycaps the Logitech skips at this price. You are paying more for less flexibility here, not more quality.
2. Keys stay matte, not shiny, for years
Redragon uses double-shot PBT keycaps that resist wear, while G413 SE owners report the matte coating rubbing off and keys turning shiny within months. That wear happens exactly where your fingers sit every day.
3. Swap switches later, no soldering needed
Redragon's hot-swap sockets let you pull the stock reds and drop in a different switch whenever you want. The G413 SE locks you into its GX switches for the board's whole life, so your only upgrade path is a new keyboard.
4. Nearly 7,000 buyers already vouch for it
Redragon's listing carries 6,768 ratings at 4.3 stars and Amazon's Choice status, real proof this board holds up at scale. The G413 SE page here shows no comparable rating count to weigh against that.
5. Yes it says Logitech. That is not enough.
The G413 SE's aluminum plate and brand name feel premium, but reviewers report the coating wearing thin and a rubber cable that kinks within a year. Unless you specifically need Logitech's G HUB software, that name is a tax with no matching durability edge.
