    Logitech has unveiled the G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. It may come as a surprise to some that this is the company's first mechanical input device in their 30+ year history. Logitech says the board combines high-speed non-clicking key switches with...

    PC manufacturers really need to spend more time and focus on design esthetics. it's just as important as function in this modern day and age.

    Interesting...but indepenent lighting for wasd and arrow keys is just redundant for the experienced gamer imho. Other than lack of macro keys I find my Microsoft comfort curve 2000 to be just fine, but then again I don't game on the professional competition level :p

    I agree, my last two keyboards have been Comfort Curve 2000 and Comfort Curve 3000, great value.

    Im a little suprised at how long it took logitech to release a mechanical keyboard. They're pretty late to the party and unfortunately this keyboard doesnt bring any advantages over the others in the mechanical market. I have a corsair K90 and I love it

    So tactile, non-clicky, 45g actuatation force - I'm guessing these are using MX Browns?

    Keyboard manufacturers should really start stating clearly what switches are used, anyone who's thinking of buying a mechanical keyboard will want to know.

    I really like the dedicated media controls, hopefully now that Logitech and Corsair are in the market more manufacturers will start doing this.

    sorry I meant ugly *** plasticky PC keyboards.
  9. About damn time. They FINALLY have a mechanical keyboard. Even though this thing really isn't impressive in any way shape or form. It's pretty ugly. Single color LED backlighting (and it's white for that matter), and it's $150.

    This is utter garbage once again from a garbage manufacturer of inferior peripherals. I stopped buying Logitech a long time ago.
