G613 is a next generation wireless keyboard designed for gamers who demand both the high performance capabilities of mechanical switches and the freedom of wireless gaming.G613 features LIGHTSPEED™ wireless technology for super fast 1 ms report rate and Bluetooth® for multi-host connectivity.
Also the same price at Harvey Norman
Got one before all the restrictions kicked in earlier in the year. It's a great mechanical keyboard, wireless is a huge plus. Switching between devices is super easy and quick too. I'd recommend it, but this is pretty expensive compared to when I got it from this deal. Then again, it's a different time.
edit: btw, it comes with a pretty cool separate phone stand too.
Are the keys backlit?
They are not
The lettering are also stickers too so YMMV. I've been using mine daily for over a year now and the plastic has gotten shiny, but the stickers remain strong. Stealth mod later on? :P
Romer-G switches (personal preference), no backlight, quite bulky as a wireless board
I use keyboard quite often. I find it really nice to type on. One con that I would say is that you can here a 'ding' sound every time you hit a key, it's not the sound that a normal mechanical keyboard makes.
Its ok overall, 2 AA batteries can last for a few months. To me its not worth above $140 with all the kinks I had and what I read.
The AA batteries that came with the keyboard have lasted me a year and a half. I was unemployed and playing video games for hours a day and I don't turn it off at all.
I've been using this for a year and a half and it's a good keyboard, but not better than my original G610 Orion Brown. I ended up going back and using the G613 on my Samsung TV instead.
Cheaper here

Nice find. Anyone know if JB or HN will price match Catch?
Most sales reps won't - however, some do it just to secure the deal.
do I have a chance what switch I buy?
I prefer blue.
These are Romer-G's - closest comparison would be something like the Cherry Browns (tactile).
I want blue only..
Is this keyboard considerably light and thin?
1.4kg - relatively heavy.
@Kawaii: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/keytron/keychron-k3-ult…
I've backed this, light and thin. Theres an option for blues ~ $120 AUD shipped for the non-RGB
@AlexF: Faster actuation time and no chance of double-registration of the click, which isn't a huge issue on keyboard but is hella inconvenient in mouse switches.
@Chazzozz: My main concern would be built-in battery - if not replaceable, what's guaranteed minimum 50% charge lifetime?
@AlexF: Thankfully, it's not a built-in battery on this 'board, it uses 2 x AA cells. That means there should be no problem with battery fade over time, just swap 'em out for a fresh set when they get low or keep a supply of rechargeables on-hand. Since this is OzBargain I'll assume you have a ready cache of Eneloops somewhere. ;-)
@AlexF: Mea Culpa, I apologise as I was talking about the G613 and not the Keytron. Apparently I fail at reading threads properly. Facepalm
I see your point now that you'd be concerned about the Keytron's battery failing in due course. That's a limitation of any rechargeable system, but what would really set it apart from others is if it's user-replaceable. I haven't had time to look into the Keytron in detail so I can't comment on that, but if they build it to allow that then it'll be streets ahead of the competition.
Got 2 of these for work and Home.
Bought both of them around $110 few years back.
Can't believe this price is a reduced price
Bought it ~$120 in June, sell it in August. The feedback is terrible, not worth $168 tbh
Same for me. It’s good but not worth RRP.
It’s not a gaming keyboard if it does not have RGB.
Doesn't even have regular backlight either…
you’d want regular backlit even for just office work when lighting isn’t the best …..
Is there a good or decent wireless keyboard without the macro keys and has the media keys? I want use this at home for office and gaming.
If you want dedicated media keys… I think logitech are one of the few https://www.umart.com.au/Logitech-G915-TKL-Lightspeed-Wirele…
Good reviews but pricey, and thats cheaper than RRP
I have Logitech K780 which is full sized and has media keys.
Took me a while getting used to the round keys. It’s very low profile with no height options. Battery still going strong for about a year. The bundled software is glitchy to say the least. It’s well built and stick to the desk and can connect to three devices.
Like most things Logitech it’s overpriced. I got mine secondhand for $40. For that price it’s been worth it.
Hope that helps.
God damn! 2 years ago, I got it for 95$ from JB Hifi. Sadly it now has a problem with double inputs when typing so I had to go back to the G15. I narrowed it down to crap firmware/software.
If it is under warranty, give a call to Logitech.
Had the same issue and they replaced one of my keyboards.
Tell that it is your keyboard for WORK 😂
I tried even though it was out of warranty, they would not do it. As a consolation they did send me another g703 mouse because the mouse wheel was wonky and that was still under warranty. Ironically I use the old spare for work now.
I have one and I'd say it's not a very good keyboard Mine is very pingy (there's a weird ping/ding echo from the switches with the metal top plate). Also after <12 months several letterings have chipped off. I works say it's quite loud too. I feel it's louder than my Cherry MX browns.
Being able to connect to 2 devices is really convenient and the main reason I wanted it.
Overall I'd say unless you need wireless/multi-device I wouldn't recommend
Who will use a wireless keyboard to play games?
Yeah I must say on a desktop system I don't get why you would want a wireless keyboard, especially for games, unless you are playing turn based games or solitaire
Anyone have this and have any feedback? I currently have a G510
