A:AnswerThe sales for Best Buy start on Sunday's and end on Saturday's. There are new sales every week so the simple answer is that if you see the keyboard on sale, that sale will 99.9% be likely to end on Saturday of that week and you would have to wait until it goes back on sale again a different week. Also, fun fact, if you buy the keyboard at a certain price, and then the keyboard goes on sale for a lower price than what you paid, you can actually come back to Best Buy and have them adjust the price difference for you as long as you are still within the return policy. They will honor the lower price. If you are out of the return policy for the item however, they will no longer be able to price adjust the item to the lower price.
A:AnswerI do not work for Best Buy, or for Logitech, so I cannot speak for regional shipments or availability... However, I have seen variants of both the G910 Spark (asymmetrical wrist rest, and angled keycaps) and Spectrum (the model here, exclusive to Best Buy, with a straightened wrist rest, and more traditional keycaps) available from third party sellers on such sites as Amzn, and even in the UK, often without much markup at all.
With regard to the AZERTY / QWERTY layouts, the Logitech software is capable of remapping (or Windows/Linux have the tools to do so), so that is a possibility. The only awkwardness to note would be that you would have to switch the keycaps yourself... That would normally be fine, as the Romer-G switches make it very simple to remove and replace keycaps, but the WASD triangle for US gamers has been marked slightly differently than the other letters (see the images of the product to note the extra outlines around those keys' letters). That may bother some people, but may not bother others. It wasn't enough to bother a few friends of mine from the RoC, Morocco, and Madagascar, so they have switched the caps, and just have the custom lighting indicate those gaming keys, rather than relying on the outlines around the directional letters. Not ideal, but definitely workable, if you are not too concerned with that discrepancy in appearance.
I hope that this helps! Bonne chance!
A:AnswerThey are technically mechanical but are much quieter, nearly silent and you can feel the click but no annoying(imho) sound. I usually can't stand mechanical and I love this keyboard.
A:AnswerIt has the proprietary Romer-G switch, it is a metal contact keyboard switch. It is very similar to the Cherry MX Brown switches, if you're familiar with them. The keys actuate at 1.5 mm movement and have a full travel of 3mm. This is a TACTILE key switch and while it does have an audible click sound, it is quite muted compared to a key switch that is supposed to be "Clicky".
A:AnswerThe keyboard requires using the Logitech Gaming Software to control all aspects of the keyboard (key assignments, colors, etc.). The software is only available for PC and Mac. With that, I believe you would only be able to use the default color scheme with other devices.
A:AnswerIt doesn't click.
It rolls fairly smoothly but it has a little resistance to it so it isn't free spinning either.
If you flick it, it won't spin up to 100% or down to 0% before stopping. It's better controlled by keeping your finger on it and rolling it up or down.
A:AnswerThe G910 Orion Spectrum is a 2016 release product, and is currently an exclusive to Best Buy. It is a well pedigreed, and very capable gaming keyboard (I own one, but am currently on the desktop that uses the older version, which will be mentioned below).
However, the "Spectrum" is not entirely new, as it is a refresh of the 2014 G910 Orion Spark, changing only a few things to bring it into better conformity with the general market (Now a straight wrist rest rather than asymmetrical, and cylindrical rather than angled keycaps), but mostly identical in every other aspect. I am discouraged from including URLs to other sites, but as this is not for purpose of redirecting marketing, but simply informational, please feel free to verify this with Wiki article - Please not that you will have to replace the [dot] with an actual period for the URL to function correctly.

A:AnswerAnything that will pull just straight up is fine. You can use your fingers to just wiggle the key caps off. There aren't any metal pieces or levers under the keys.
