Were I only looking for a typing board, and wanted something with real audio/tactile feedback, I'd probably go for a Unicomp over something made with blues, but I don't really feel like either would be ideal for gaming. The browns seemed like the obvious choice as a compromise. I'm looking for something that's good for typing (light weight, not too prone to accidental keypresses, some feedback to keep you from bottoming out) and also for gaming (again, light weight and not prone to unintended presses, but also smooth and responsive). Old_Fogie_Late_Bloomer - Tuesday, Octolink This is pretty much the first time I've heard someone say that the difference between browns and reds is subtle to the point of irrelevant.You've got tons of choices between old standbys like Das, Filco, Ducky, and even Rosewill's rebrands and newer entrants like Coolermaster, Corsair, Monoprice, and now Logitech. There's also plenty of variety on the market at this point, it's kinda silly to argue whether X manufacturer's model should use Y switch or Z switch based on what else is on the market. There isn't a best or better switch tho, there isn't even a better switch for typing or gaming, it's all subject to personal preference. A lot of people describe browns as an in-between reds and blues but to me browns feel much closer to reds. At the same time, if you've been using reds a while it's not hard to get used to the key travel and avoid bottoming out while typing, even without any tactile feedback.īlue's tactile click is world's apart IMO. A lot of it's very subjective tho, if you've been using browns a long time then you'll be more used to the slight bump. Vast majority of people that can deal with brown could deal with red,and vice versa. The tactile bump on browns is very very subtle, to the point that it's imperceptible while typing quickly if you're not used to it (a little more noticeable while gaming). I have keyboards with both types (K90 & a Rosewill) and to me they feel almost identical. Impulses - Tuesday, Octolink You're making way too big a deal out of the difference between browns and reds.First, the keyboard is entirely backlit with individual white LEDs under each key, and the LEDs can have their brightness adjusted in two separate zones (WASD/arrow clusters and the rest of the keyboard) using the toggle buttons at the top of the keyboard. It's an interesting choice, made more interesting by two wrinkles. Logitech's rep was amusingly unforthcoming about which switches the G710+ employs, but that was easy enough to discern with two seconds and a keycap remover: Cherry MX Brown.
If you kept up with the K90 review, it won't take you long to see where.įirst and foremost, every key on the G710+ is mechanical except for the half-height controls/toggles at the very top of the keyboard. More than that, they seem to have heard many of the criticisms levelled at other keyboard manufacturers, particularly Corsair. The G710+ feels like it has a lot more thought and pragmatism put into its design than their earlier, in some ways flashier designs. With the G710+, Logitech has essentially learned from their previous efforts and produced something that's arguably very distinctive and well thought out.
Logitech's older G10, G11, and G15 keyboards were a bit more fraught there were hotkeys on both sides of the keyboard, and they were very easy to accidentally hit. I've used Logitech gaming keyboards with varying degrees of success one of the primary reasons I liked Corsair's K90 keyboard so much was the way it abstracted the gaming hotkeys away from the keyboard itself by lowering their height, allowing me to touch type the keyboard conventionally while being able to feel for the configurable keys if I needed them.
