Logitech - G710 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Black

Bought this on black friday 2016 for a discount. Fry's had it for $10 less, but best buy had in store pickup. Cherry MX blues work well, but sometimes the spacebar accidentally triggers, even without the actuation force. It's a bit worrying, but I hope nothing bad comes from it. Some keycaps can be switched; I'm using a slightly modified Dvorak layout.

Keyboard is amazing, the feel and response is top notch. Layout is great with hand positioning and programmable keys with backlight makes this keyboard my all time favorite.

I bought this product on sale. I have a few good keyboards: Filco Majestouch with Cherry MX Blue， K70 RGB with MX Red, Cherry G3000 with MX Brown. But the top-notch keyboard I'm using for my Mac is the HHKB type S with silent Electrostatic Capacitive Key switches. Based on my experience, I would say that the Logitech G710 blue is a solid product completely in competent with sale price tag. You have programmable keys, hand wrist, volume control and adjustment backlight. It comes with authentic Cherry MX Blue switches, which are clicky and responsive. Moreover, it is solid made with good logetich support. However, if you are looking for the highest quality keyboards and willing to spend more than $130 bucks, this one is not for you. The switches are not as smooth and crisp as my other first-tier keyboards. So is the design. However, for people who want a solid mechanical keyboard with limited budget, I would recommend this one.

I already owned a G710+ (the orange variety of this keyboard that uses Cherry MX Brown key switches; it's a little bit quieter) and decided to pick this one up as a backup. The blue key switches are what were used in the older 2013 model Blackwidows and are still used in various gaming keyboards by other manufacturers. They have a decent amount of travel, a good actuation point and click feel, and work well for most gamers. The main issue with them is their noise, as they are one of the loudest switches available on a keyboard. Logitech's newer G910, G810 and G410 use their new G-Romer switches that were developed for them, and they are silent, but they also feel more like premium dome switches than actual mechanical switches, so there is a trade-off for noise reduction. The software and configuration on this keyboard is pretty good. It has no on-board memory, but it does have several game keys and adjustable back-lighting that can be differentiated over the main game-specific keys (WASD and the arrow keys) but only provides white back-light, unlike some of the more expensive current generation keyboards. This keyboard has a nice long USB cable with 2 plugs, as it has a full-speed USB passthru for a mouse, headphones, memory stick, whatever you want. One thing I will mention about durability. Originally the G710+ had some issues with the quality of the key caps, and some failed (the caps actually broke off of the switches) but Logitech assured me (and others) that they have corrected the production process for their key caps now, and that this is no longer an issue. This should have been corrected before the blue G710 was released, so none of these boards should be affected by this issue.

This is my second mechanical keyboard. Coming from a 5+ year old Razer Blackwidow Ultimate. Yeah, yeah, "Razer quality", but that Blackwidow was good to me during the 5+ years I had it. This is better than the Blackwidow in almost every way though. What's missing? Razer Synapse software, hate it or not, lets you remap ANY key on the keyboard. I remapped Caps Lock into a second Back Space, turning it into a useful key for writing. I remapped Num Lock into Tab making Excel easier. Unfortunately, Logitech gaming software only lets you remap the 6 macro keys. Other than that, the Logitech G710 is better in every way. - Real Cherry MX keys. None of that cheap, Chinese Kailh imitation. You get German tight, quality control. - Looks better. - White backlighting that you can change in 5 brightness settings. - Dedicated buttons to control the lighting. - Volume scroll. - Mute button. - Windows key disable button. - USB port in the back (which I never use). - Fairly easy to navigate software. - Keycaps feel nice. Though, I don't know what kind of plastic since that knowledge is usually known by the more hardcore mechanical keyboarders. - Thick cable. Not braided, but I prefer that. I hate it when braided cables start to fray. Overally, I like this a lot, and enjoy typing on it.

This is my first mechanical gaming keyboard. I've had non mechanical gaming keyboards and thought they were pretty nice. This kb blows them away. I still suck at the games I play, but the feel, and responsiveness are much better than the non-mechanical. Its very clicky, fairly loud, but I don't mind the noise (My wife's not so fond of the noise) but great keyboard, I got it on sale and got a fantastic product for a great price, couldn't be happier. Logitech has always been a great company. Highly recommended.

I personally like the 710 over the 710+. I like blue cherry over the red because you can hear the clicks and know your response. The 710 doesn't have the dampers like the 710+ This is a keyboard meant for typing not gaming tho you could use it for gaming but I recommend a red cherry for gaming. It's a logitech product and they are well known for their customer service! Great company with a great product. I would recommend to a friend or family member! Got this one sale during black Friday and I couldn't be happier

I have two of these keyboards because my fiancee loved it so much she took my first one. This keyboard is phenomenal in terms of feedback (sound and touch), and it is very comfortable to use. I am an avid typist and use my keyboard for over 12+ hours a day for work and my own personal company, and it is very comfortable. Furthermore, I feel that the mechanical action is just right and allows me to type more accurately and quickly. One thing to note is that this keyboard is loud. If you need to type in a quiet environment, I would not recommend this keyboard at all - look into the G710+ instead. However, if you enjoy the sound feedback, this keyboard is fantastic, and I like it more than some of the Corsair, Razer, and other enthusiast keyboards out there.
