Logitech is getting in on the Gaming Week action today by launching a sale across several of its recently-released Aurora gaming peripherals. Known for its sleek white designs and unique form-factors that don’t sacrifice on features, our top pick is putting its G713 Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard in the spotlight. Courtesy of Amazon, the keyboard drops down to $139.99 shipped. That’s $30 off the usual $170 price tag and landing as only the second discount of the year. It comes within $4 of the all-time low and is the second-best price to date. Delivering one of Logitech’s latest keyboards, the recent G713 release arrives with a slick white design that comes backed by per-key RGB backlighting and GX Red tactile switches. The wired form-factor plugs into your PC with a removable USB-C cable, and also features other fun inclusions like a dedicated volume scroll bar, media controls, and a customazable top plate. Though my favorite aspect of the keyboard has to be the bundled wrist rest, which is shaped like a cloud to really round out the stylings of the setup. Our hands-on review talks all about the aesthetics and features of the keyboard, too.
