I recall seeing on a review somewhere the extras are for if you want it even more soft. It's not that I don't like the way it is right now, just don't feel much of a difference from having the foam gaskets.

Putting extra gaskets on increases the perceived hardness of the gaskets. If you want as bouncy as possible you want as little gaskets as you can get away with.

Have you ever typed on a non-gasket mounted metal keyboard?

Starts to physically hurt after a while.

Logitech isn't all metal. It's plastic and metal.

I mean like a 4 pound block of aluminum like an NK65

yeah maybe the difference is just very subtle. I was using a G513 and I'm pretty sure the keys are mounted on a plate of aluminium, the rest of the keyboard was probably plastic.

Yeah the rest of the KB is the thing here. Plastic has flex. I typed on Logitechs and know that they feel fine.

I had an NK65 for about 2 years and it would just hurt my fingertips after a while of use, because I bottom out and the keys would slam on an unmoving block of aluminum.

Think of it like tapping your fingers fairly hard on your desk top for 6 hours straight.

I like it, but like everything else in this hobby, it comes down to preference. I tend to prefer a hard bottom out. Probably related to my preference for tactile switches.
