Q: Can you change the color of the keyboard to one solid color?
A: Yes, you can set it to a continuous blue color with a keyboard command or you can install the supporting gaming software. I prefer to use this keyboard for typing, not gaming, so I use the keyboard command. Press and hold the FN key (on lower right on keyboard) then press the F5 key 6 times. It will cycle through various settings until the last one which is a continuous, always-on blue color. Unfortunately, you have to do this every time you boot your computer. It does not retain your setting choice like some other keyboards do. For that, you probably would want to install the gamer software. I just choose to enter the keyboard command to set it to solid color. By the way, the F7 key (with FN key held down) controls the brightness of the keyboard lights. It will also cycle them down to OFF.

A: Hello, JARS! If you don't mind louder, clicky key feel the G513 is a great choice for data entry! It even has programmable macro keys that can make your life easier. Just keep in mind that these keys are louder than most mechanical keyboards. If you want something quieter, I would recommend taking a look at the G815, G915, or the MX Mechanical keyboards. These do have low profile keys but they are still mechanical and a bit quieter. - Maggie from Logitech G
A: Hey there JARS! The G513 is a mechanical keyboard, and this particular version has "clicky" keys, meaning they're a bit louder than a standard office keyboard. Personally, I love the feel of a mechanical keyboard, so I can use mine all day long in an office environment and not complain, but in the end it's going to come down to personal preference. -Weston from Logitech
A: Hello. The only difference between the G512 and G513 is that the latter comes with the wrist rest. The keyboard is the same.
