Appearance of each
The appearance of each gaming keyboard is like this.
key type
Most are mechanical, but the G213 uses Logitech's Mech-Dome keys, which have near-mechanical performance.

What's the difference between the red and blue key types?
The red axis (linear) is characterized by a light click feeling and high quietness. This has the advantage that typing sounds are less likely to enter the microphone even when using voice chat.
The blue axis (clicky) has a strong click feeling and is characterized by a loud typing sound. For those who want a keyboard that makes a clicking sound, we recommend the blue axis.
The brown axis (tactile) has a moderate click feeling and quietness, and has characteristics that are like a mixture of the red axis and blue axis.

About the numeric keypad
A numeric keypad is a key that has a square arrangement of keys that can be used to enter numbers.Having a numeric keypad is useful when working with Excel, etc., but it is rarely used when playing games, so many gaming keyboards do not have one.
The disadvantage of having a numeric keypad is that the keyboard becomes longer horizontally.
If the width of the keyboard is long, there is a high possibility that the mouse will hit the keyboard when playing games such as FPS that require vigorous mouse movement. This is especially likely if the sensitivity is low and you move the mouse over long distances.

About keystrokes
Keystroke is the depth when a key is pushed to its limit.Also,The actuation point indicates how far the key must be pressed to produce the input judgment.
If the keystroke is 4mm and the actuation point is 2mm, you can press it up to 4mm, but the input will be judged as soon as it is pressed 2mm.
The shallower the depth, the faster the input, so it's a slight advantage in games where speed is important.but,If it is too shallow, even a light touch with your finger will result in the data being entered, which has the disadvantage of making it more likely that you will make a typo.
What is a palm rest?
The palm rest is intended to reduce fatigue when using the keyboard for long periods of time, and it smooths out the difference in level between the desk and the keyboard.
If you experience pain in your arms or wrists when you use the keyboard for long periods of time, you may find your arms and wrists hurt by trying this.The disadvantage is that it requires more space for the palm rest.If the width is the same as the keyboard, there is no problem, but the depth will inevitably become longer, so be careful if your desk is narrow.

Personally, I recommend tenkeyless.
Personally, I recommend tenkeyless.
If you don't use Excel etc. often and don't want to use a numeric keypad, we recommend choosing a numeric keypad.
If your mouse or hand hits something while playing a game, the stability of play will decrease, so it's better to minimize the possibility of that happening.
summary
