Review Text: Excellent Tactile Keyboard with Great RGB Effects. Let me just say first that Logitech has absolutely PERFECT timing with the release of the G713 Aurora TKL - my wife and I had just been talking about stepping up her desk setup and wanting something that wasn't squared off and black ("gamer grade") - and along comes the G713 with exactly the right aesthetic for our needs. The G713 has a few things going for it that I haven't personally had in other keyboards (including those marketed at feminine gamers): 1) There's an additional RGB lighting strip on edges of the chassis, angled down. The lighting effects are really cool especially with a white/light gray desk mat underneath. Even with a bargain bin mat without its own RGB lighting, the G713 adds a splash of color to your whole desk. 2) It feels like a purpose built product for this segment instead of one of the manufacturer's other 'gamer' keyboards in white or pink. That's not just the 'cloud' wrist rest but the rounded edges and the aesthetics of the RGB lighting effects. The keyboard is controlled through the standard Logitech G Hub app, which has come a long way in terms of stability in the last 3 years. If you have previously had an issue with the G Hub, it's definitely worth coming back at this point. I haven't had a problem with the software in at least 2 years. The tactile keys are nicely weighted to give a good bump for feedback without needing a lot of activation force or travel, and not terribly loud (even for a mechanical keyboard). My only complaint really is the cloud wrist pad is a little too big - like maybe a 1/2 or 3/4 inch too wide, so that it is hard to get it to fit between your keyboard and the edge of your desk. Material and looks wise it is great, but I just wish it was a little less wide so we didn't have to have the keyboard so far from the edge of the desk.
