PBT keycaps might not be enough to justify the new Logitech G413 SE gaming keyboard

gamesradar.com:

Logitech announced the new G413 SE gaming keyboard on Monday, featuring a new set of switches, PBT keycaps, and the classic brushed aluminum-magnesium alloy case. With the full-sized version coming in at $79.99, though, there might not be enough in here to satisfy those budget buyers. 

Sure, the Logitech G413 SE is certainly far cheaper than many mechanical decks. The best gaming keyboards can set you back well over $200, and custom mechanical keyboards can reach far higher. However, Logitech's original G413 still carries an MSRP of just $89.99 - and is even currently on sale for $49.99 at Best Buy, $59.99 at Amazon, and $69.99 via the brand's own store. Those aren't outlier prices, either - we regularly see this deck discounted these days.

So what's the difference between the two? In short, the Logitech G413 SE replaces the far less durable ABS keycaps of the original with a new PBT set. That 'SE' naming convention, however, is running true here; offering a watered-down spec for a, supposedly, lower price. The new panel drops the red LED option of the former, opting for an all-white under key aesthetic, isn't compatible with G-Hub (so no reprogrammable keys or macros), and switches out Romer-G switches for Logitech's "Tactile Mechanical Switches". 

Romer-G switches have been the go-to for Logitech for so long they've become synonymous with the brand's portfolio of gaming keyboards. With a 1.5mm actuation point at 45g of force and a 3.2mm bottom out point, they're comparable to Cherry's MX Reds - if a little heavier and shorter.

However, the Tactile Mechanical Switches that will launch with the G413 SE actuate at a much higher 1.9mm with 50g of force behind them, bottoming out at 4mm. That's both heavier and slower than
