Customization

Unlock the full potential of your G213 Prodigy keyboard through the Logitech G HUB software:

Programmable F-Keys:
The F1-F12 keys can be programmed with custom commands, macros, or system functions. This allows for quick execution of complex actions in games or applications.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your G213 Prodigy keyboard, follow these maintenance guidelines:

Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe down the keyboard surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For dust and debris between keys, use compressed air.
Spill-Resistant Design: The G213 is designed to be spill-resistant, meaning it can withstand accidental liquid spills. In case of a spill, immediately unplug the keyboard, wipe off the liquid, and allow it to air dry completely before reconnecting. While spill-resistant, it is not waterproof, so avoid submerging it.
