    Infuriated at how often the spacebar comes off when pressing it from the sides and not the center. If i lift it upside down and shake it the spacebar easily pops off.

      Hello samm! Sorry to hear you're having issues with a loose keycap on your G Pro Mechanical Wired Gaming Keyboard. I'll say this is definitely not something that should be, especially with the Pro Keyboard which is used by a lot of eSports players out there, so there might be something broken under the keycap or the switch itself. This product actually has a 2-year warranty on it from Logitech, so might be worth checking the product page https://www.logitechg.com/en-ca/products/gaming-keyboards/pro-mechanical-gaming-keyboard.920-009388.html and contacting the Support on our website. - Mathieu from Logitech

      Hi Vookie we're sorry to see you're having some performance related issues with your G Pro TKL Gaming Keyboard. Through G Hub, you can adjust RGB features like the lighting, how bright it is, and the lighting patterns. This is also where you can go to program keys to do shortcuts for your favorite games or actions. Hope that helps!

      Hello Oleg. I'm sorry you're experiencing issues with your G Pro TKL keyboard. The USB cable should have the wings on it to help secure it in the keyboard. While you can use any Micro USB cable, the one with the wings will give you the most secure connection. Another problem may be that the USB port might be dirty with dust or other small debris. You can try using a safety pin or even an earring to scrape out around inside the port very carefully and then use a can of compressed air to blow out anything that the pin may have scraped loose. The cable should fit much more securely after cleaning out the port.

    Great keyboard, but a few thoughts on quality...

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I'm writing this review four years after purchasing this keyboard to give a fair assessment of the G Pro Keyboard. It's been a great keyboard, but a few things to note: I bought this keyboard in-store during the Pandemic to be used as a gaming keyboard and as a "work from home" keyboard to replace my G513 Silver. I've always liked the clicky switches, so the sound never really bothered me. About six months into ownership, the spacebar began giving some trouble with double spacing. Logitech support was able to replace the keyboard, but one with the red switches. At this point, the switch doesn't matter and the overall typing experience on both is superb. The RGB lighting is great, helps me see in early morning and late night gaming sessions, and has a nice visual on the desk. One thing I'll note... some of the RGB lighting on my keys has been failing. When going through the appropriate troubleshooting, the keyboard still seems to experience the problem. As a result, depending upon what color is active on the key, it will not light up or will display a different color than what is expected. This does not effect the performance of the keyboard. However, this is a big part of the review. I've noticed this on my G513 Silver and G710 keyboards. At some point in their life, the lighting on specific switches just gives up. All of them seem to be happening at different points in their lives, as well. Unfortunately, all have happened outside of the warranty window. Would I buy another one of these? Absolutely, but for the right price. It's a great keyboard for multiple use cases, but keep in mind if RGB is a big part of your purchase reason, you may see some issues down the road.

    Logitech makes a huge step up in keyboards

    My very first gaming keyboard was a Logitech G15, which was membrane based with an LCD screen. For years, the combo of the G15 and an MX518 mouse were king of the hill in PC gaming. After at least a decade of use, without any failures to speak of, I felt it was time to try out a mechanical keyboard. At the time, Logitech was not known for quality mechanical boards - they used cheap keycaps and mostly MX Brown switches rather than more popular blues or reds. After a few years with several different brands, I took the chance to review this G Pro Blue clicky keyboard with RGB lighting - and I'm so happy I did. This keyboard is a huge step up in quality from previous Logitech keyboards, and I would also rate it as a step up in quality from higher priced keyboards from competing brands I've used recently. Overall build is just very premium feeling. The keys don't have the hollow sound that I expected at this price point, and compare favorably with much more expensive keyboards I've used. I've read that the switches are a new logitech branded GX Blue switch, and I felt that it compares well with Cherry MX Blues and Razer Greens. While my job is not dependent on my typing ability, I do feel that the keyboard will allow me to maintain the same low error rate and high WPM as other 'clicky' keys. The keycaps have a nice solid sound that may not be quite so annoying on web meetings and conference calls... though any clicky key is not ideal for that scenario unless you're showing off :) The RGB lighting is actually quite a bit more interesting that I assumed it would be. The effects are customizable, from simple solid colors, to wave effects, to an audio spectrum analyzer that is really neat. The 'framerate' on the key lighting is very smooth. It even impressed my wife! About the only thing 'missing' from this keyboard is macro keys, but it's hard to detract from the score when that's pretty much impossible to miss when you're shopping around. Give this Logitech G Pro a chance - you'll be glad you did.

    A solid pro keyboard for typing or gaming

    Logitech’s new G Pro and G Pro X keyboards attempt to appeal to the ‘Pro’ gamer. Featuring RGB lighting, 26-key rollover, a simple TKL design, and blue GX switches - it appeals to the minimalist. Is Logitech’s second go at the ‘Pro’ series worth a look or is this another keyboard to pass on? Logitech’s G Pro line hit the ground a couple years ago, offering a full size and ten-key-less (TKL) design using Logitech’s ‘Romer-G’ switches. Since that time, Logitech has offered Romer-G in many keyboards. Romer-G switches have undergone a few generations and iterations, but they all center around Omron switch designs. Omron makes some of the best buttons/switches in the world, but the Romer-G switch design has run into a few design issues that beset it’s rise in the gamer world. With the second generation G Pro line, Logitech has made the decision to go with their own branded ‘GX’ switches. These switches are essentially Cherry MX clones made by Kailh (you can tell because of the Kailh brand imprinted on the switch). GX switches offer Cherry MX compatible keycaps, and the G Pro keeps a standard layout which makes replacement switches a breeze to install. In the case of the G Pro, the switch design is of the ‘Blue’ variety. This means that you get a loud and satisfying typing experience. The ‘Blue’ switch hasn’t really been associated with gaming, so it’s an interesting choice to offer as the only option on the non ‘X’ keyboard version. The Pro X lineup (not this keyboard) is a bit more expensive, but has one big advantage: swappable switches. Custom designed keyboards with various switch types used to be a boutique offering, but since that time user swappable switches have become a thing. I applaud Logitech for pushing this forward with the new Pro X lineup, but currently they appear to be limited to online only. Worth a look if you’re not a fan on the loud blue switch. So back to our ‘G Pro’ non-x variety keyboard. The layout, size, and design will feel quite familiar to anyone that purchased the Romer-G variety. The feel will be significantly different. I tried to like the Romer-G switch, but like many, I found it just too mushy for my tastes. The tactile variety I heard got a more refined feel, but I never tried one. The GX Blue switches are extremely crisp. I had a Kailh blue keyboard from years ago, and it was a bit of a hot mess. The GX Blue’s are extremely smooth, responsive, and uniform. These honestly feel as good or better than Chery Blues. So being blues they are extremely loud. My wife hates them, my kids want to slam their hands on them (because it sounds cool). They are the bane many an office worker’s existence. That said, they are one of the best if not the best typing experiences. The click gives a decent audible alert that you’ve successfully pressed the key. If you’re like me who bottoms out their keyboards, the increased actuation force (60g) combined with this feedback reduces my tendency to bottom out the keys, thus reducing overall impact. They aren’t as tiring to me as Cherry MX clears (which I have in a Pok3r keyboard). If you can stand the noise, and won’t have objects thrown at you by coworkers, this is a fine typing keyboard. Typing tests appeared to give me at least 4-5 extra WPM, although I found I struggled to keep up with my newfound speed, so give it some time and practice. The design of the keyboard is a no fuss TKL design. It’s plastic, but quite solid. The outer edge is The layout is excellent, dropping the number pad for a more ergonomic experience. If you haven’t tried a TKL, it brings your mouse so much closer, and opens up your desk space significantly. For most gamers, it’s a great tradeoff. If you really want a number pad, you can always key a USB version. The keyboard features a micro-usb connector with stabilizer. The stabilizer is optional, but the included cable has it, and it’s the same cable Logitech uses on many of its wireless mice. It’s an excellent design. Other than that, it’s pretty much a rectangle with 84 keys. There is a lighted G logo, caps and scroll lock LEDs, gaming mode button, and backlight control button up top. Speaking of lighting, there are hundreds of modes, it’s fully customizable, and pretty awesome. There is however limitations compared with other Logitech keyboards. Specifically the lighting has only one brightness, and compared to the Romer G switches, the lighting isn’t quite as good. Where the Romer-G could illuminate the shift mods, and allow the icons to be centered, the icons are pushed up top and subs are not illuminated at all on these GX switches. Still, the lighting is excellent if slightly limited. Another really cool feature of the keyboard is the 3 position feet. The rear feet can swing out to two different positions allowing the height to be customized to the user’s liking. I actually really preferred the slight slant on the first position, and I’ve never had a keyboard offer this before, so it’s really nice. Software wise, Logitech has really improved the feature set. Compared to the old Logitech G software, the new G hub is much more friendly. I really appreciate the ability to share lighting profiles with others, and the overall light control is excellent. Macros and key customization are nice and offer some great flexibility. Of course you can choose and customize both macros and lighting based on the active application. I don’t have a ton of use for this, but if you’re a heavy macro user, it could be pretty awesome. I wish Logitech would go the extra mile and include a travel case. Part of the niceness of the G Pro is the detachable cable, and compact layout. Both features mean toting this keyboard around is a breeze and having a bag/case or other mechanism to protect it in transport would have been a nice addition. Another thing missing that would have been ideal would be a wrist wrest. Something small, detachable could make it even more comfortable for long gaming/typing sessions. I used this keyboard for Starcraft 2 over the past couple weeks. I’ve tried some other Logitech keyboards, and this is my new favorite. I was skeptical of the blue keys at first, but it’s been a great experience and it makes me audiblize my APM, which I like. I found the keys and layout fit light a glove. I can’t say it made me a better player, but I ended up liking the GX blue keys more than I thought. Overall, there is a clear set of pros and cons over the old G Pro, but for true pro use, I believe there are only pros. Compared to the outgoing model the switch choice is more proven, key caps more available, and lighting sufficient. The cons really break down to switch choice (blue may not be your preference). For those that want more flexibility, look into the G Pro X line, as you can swap switches on those and they share the same build. Overall the G pro refresh is refreshing, and worth a look. The blue GX keys make an excellent gaming and typing experience and the lighting is on point. This keyboards look is also subtle and would fit in an office environments.

    Great performance and compact for travel

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’m a lifelong gamer, but a relative newcomer to the PC gaming world. I rely on a relatively budget gaming computer (Acer Nitro) and while the keyboard on it serves its purpose, I wanted something a little better. Especially since I used a mechanical keyboard at work, and once you use a mechanical keyboard you won’t want to go back (most of the time). This Logitech keyboard hits all the right notes: sturdy, high quality, compact size, terrific performance and looks great. I highly recommend it for those who travel (and want to take a keyboard) or those looking for a good keyboard. My only qualm with it in terms of being home desktop replacement is the lack of the numerical keypad. I’m okay with not having it since I travel with my keyboard, but if I were looking to replace my home/work desktop keyboard, it is an essential feature to have that this particular model doesn’t have. PACKAGING Like generally all Logitech products nowadays, they are thoughtfully packaged. Included in the box is the keyboard and a braided micro USB cable (note that this keyboard is NOT wireless). The micro USB part of the cable has a funky end (I can’t explain it, it looks like a trident) that, my guess, is used to help prevent damage to the metal connector in the event it is jerked out on accident. As a plus, for those that own a new USB gaming mouse, it is the same connector so they are interchangeable. But the best part of the packaging is that you can use the box it came with to pack and travel with the keyboard. Some of you may not travel with keyboards, but for us that do, this is a nice convenience. SETUP AND GHUB This keyboard is obviously plug in play. You simply plug it into your computer via USB and voila. You will need to, however, download the G Hub software to take advantage of features such as lighting controls and changing hotkeys, etc. The software is easy to find and download. PERFORMANCE AND USE Before getting into G Hub, I just want to comment briefly on the typing experience as a whole. Most PCs nowadays come up cheap flimsy keyboards. But there is something absolutely satisfying when typing on a mechanical keyboard. It has a satisfying click and it’s super responsive. It really is hard to put into words, but if you spend any amount of time typing (or gaming, which I presume is why you’re even reading this) it provides an amazing experience. I’m primarily a FPS shooter player, or 3rd person action game player. When playing third person games (i.e. Ghost Recon) I generally use an Xbox controller. But when playing FPS games (like Far Cry 5) I use the keyboard. The keyboard is fantastic for FPS. The keys are responsive and have a relatively short travel. I don’t know the exact terminology for it, but it doesn’t take much pressure to register a keystroke. When using the WASD letters to move my character, I find it much easier to be precise than the standard Acer Nitro laptop keyboard I’m using. Again, I’m not well versed on the proper terminology, but as an inexperienced PC gamer I can tell you the difference matters and it makes the playing experience more enjoyable. G HUB Since I’m new to the PC gaming scene, I’m used to just using whatever controller defaults the game developer creates. So I have little experience and knowledge in macro commands or mapping new keys. Sure, I can use the intuitive software in G Hub to change keystrokes and commands, but I personally don’t find a need to do so. That’s simply because I guess I don’t know what I’m missing or maybe I’m too lazy to test different layouts. Having said that, I did navigate the G Hub software to see what it offers and it’s extremely intuitive. You can create different profiles depending on the game you’re playing. And what’s nice is that the keyboard can “turn off” keys while you’re playing so you don’t accidentally hit them. The Windows key between CTRL and ALT is a great example. When playing a game this key is turned off so you don’t accidentally hit it. You can also deactivate other keys should you want to. Like I said, when playing games I don’t generally mess around with the different keystroke layouts, but what I did appreciate is assigning different control profiles for various games to F-key functions so I can switch on the fly without having to open up G Hub. The lighting is also pretty cool. Backlighting on a keyboard is an obvious must (to me). Not all keyboards have them, but they’re essential when playing games at night. What’s even cooler, albeit unnecessary, is having different lighting zones or effects. I’m really fond of the cycle animations. Again it doesn’t improve the performance and I don’t notice it too much when I’m playing, but it’s cool to see nonetheless. You can also assign specific colors to certain keys. I do this for my FPS games, especially for WASD. I make them a different color (as well as other keys I hit frequently) so if my hand gets lost I can look down briefly and see which keys I need to use. Again, a small and unnecessary thing, but it’s a nice touch and a nice feature to have. Plus it adds to the quality of this keyboard. CONCLUSION All in all, this is a fantastic keyboard. I think Logitech hit it out of the park. This is a high quality, heavy in a good way keyboard that’s built to take a pounding. Even if you don’t use the macro commands or change the layouts much like I do using G Hub, it’s still worth having for the typing and playing experience. It really makes the work aspect of my job a little bit better (using nice equipment) and it does improve gaming experiences. Plus, it’s compact and easy to travel with in the packaging it comes in.

    Very Solid, Compact and Precise

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    You’ll first notice the physical characteristics of this keyboard, and they are impressive. There is a nice weight to it; but not too heavy, which gives it a very solid feel. This solid feel is also due of course to the steel backplate. There are five rubber pads on the bottom which grip the surface aggressively. You have 3 height levels due to a very well-designed set of feet that change your keyboard angle. You do not have a wrist rest but I have found these rests move too much on other gaming keyboards so I don’t like them anyway. The power plug (USB Micro) is designed such that it has a surrounding shroud/prongs that ensures it stays plugged in even if you grab the keyboard or move it with quick key striking. The lights on the keys are fantastic and you’ll have many ways to configure them – more on that later. You should understand this is a ‘tenkeyless’ mechanical keyboard. You won’t have a ‘numberpad’ on the right – this makes the keyboard more compact and I felt this is better for gaming situations and in fact even if you are doing other types of usage. It will make your distance to the mouse smaller of course and this is often a desired feature. The lighting of the letters and numbers on the keys is very sharp looking. Logitech has created the GX Blue switches for the keys and these switches are smooth with a very nice sounding audible click. I compared the feel and sound with another brand gaming keyboard and I did prefer the lower tone on this Logitech G Pro which others may also like. The feel of the keys as you strike them is beautiful and the contour of each key is just perfect I think, but this is subjective. You do need to download the Logitech G Hub software. This gives you lots of options including the light patterns and setting up macros. You can use standard light patterns, create your own and also download and upload patterns from a community library. I tried lots of downloaded patterns and it was a lot of fun to see the animated lighting and colors. You can disable some keys, there are defaults and you can easily add others as you wish; the selected keys are disabled when you press the game mode button which looks like a little joystick – cute. Disabling some keys is helpful to keep me from accidently hitting keys on the lower row as I am a little clumsy when I’m in games or even just doing something like a word document. I definitely recommend this keyboard: it is precise, solid and a lot of fun to use.

    Good Keyboard, but Some Instability in Keys

    |
    Tech Insider Network Member
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The GX Pro keyboard is a pro gamer level keyboard that comes in a 10-keyless form factor with everyone’s favorite “clicky” key, what Logitech calls their “GX Blue Clicky”. These are being compared to the Razer Green switches, if you’re looking for a comparison. The keys feature individual LEDs for each key, giving you a lot of flexibility in lighting options with the downloaded control suite software. Lighting is fairly bright, enough for playing in any room, even well-lit rooms. The switches are fairly responsive and are a pleasure to type with, but do feature a little bit of instability in their design, giving more movement than I would like to see when trying to actuate the key during gameplay. And with the design, it does not appear that you can install stabilizers under the keys to cut down on that movement. I feel like for a “pro level” gaming keyboard, it would be understood that just a couple of millimeters of movement can make a huge difference in performance. The keyboard is wired and features a standard micro-USB connector on the back of the keyboard, but with a proprietary “wing” that sits around the USB connector to hold it in & keep it stable during use. While you can use a standard cable without the wing, it definitely doesn’t hold in place as well. What I do think is a huge addition is the 3-level keyboard stands, giving you flat or 2 levels of height adjustment for the keyboard on your desk depending on your preferred style of play, or using it differently between gaming and day-to-day typing. A very inexpensive but important addition to any keyboard. The absence of the “NUM” pad (so-called “tenkeyless”) makes this ideal to carry in a bag with a laptop, but wouldn’t recommend it if you’re solely using this for typing on and not gaming. In the end, I liked the keyboard, but the disappointment of the slight movement in the switches without a better stability drops this from a 5-star to a 4-star for me. With the number of mechanical switches now available on the market, and the newest generations featuring better & better response and stability, I feel like this was an under-engineered keyboard that has a lot of potential but also some room for improvement.

    Great TKL Keyboard, Missing a Couple Features

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    For a while, I've been searching for a tenkeyless keyboard to replace my Logitech G513 Carbon keyboard, and was excited when the G Pro was released. Performance-wise, this one is easily on par with the G513 in terms of gaming performance, and feels even better for general day-to-day typing. There are a few things here missing, however, keeping this from being the top choice. Build quality is generally on par with what you'd expect; decent heft, premium feel, and sturdy stance. It's made of a premium feeling plastic, so it's not quite as premium as the G513 Carbon, made of aluminum/metal, but it's good all the same. This particular board uses blue "clicky" switches, but it seems to be of a slightly different variant than my previous board, as the buttons aren't quite as high pitched clicky, and are actually more pleasant to type on. Additionally, this one comes with a removable USB cable, which is a great feature for anyone that needs to pack this thing up and move it. Gaming performance is exactly what you'd expect; top notch, lag-free, and pro-grade. Running this through a battery of FPS style games, not once did I get a sense of lag or unregistered/misfired keys. This thing is a real gamer's keyboard. It's also a great keyboard to type on. Being a developer by trade, I need a keyboard to be comfortable to type on for long stretches of time, and the G Pro is very comfortable. For having blue keys, it's not unbearably loud like some, but also has the assured click feedback and key travel that makes it very easy to type on. Overall, this board is serving both my gaming and typing needs perfectly while very comfortably fitting on my desk space. As a bonus for those that like total control over key lighting, the G Hub software allows you the granularity to individually light any key on the board (and the G logo in the upper right), which allows this board to fit into virtually any LED lighting scheme you may have. Now, the issues. First, no included wrist rest. No idea why they saw fit to not include this, but it's quite a disappointment to open an expensive keyboard like this and not find a wrist rest in the box. Next, no integrated USB port. This was a feature I grew quite accustomed to after using the G513 and was disappointed to see the G Pro doesn't have this. Not a deal breaker by any means, but would've been nice to have. Additionally, the lighting setup could be better. Not only do the secondary key functions (the media buttons and all secondary shift+press buttons) not light up at all, you can't switch lighting profiles at all using the lighting button (you can only switch between whatever is loaded currently and turning it off). Also related, my lighting profiles don't consistently sync when plugging in between computers. In my setup, I daily use both a Mac for work and a Windows desktop for gaming. I plug both my keyboard and mouse into my monitor (which has a 4 port USB hub integrated), and just swap the single USB cable coming from the monitor between the two computers. The G Hub software never has an issue loading up/recognizing my mouse, but it frequently doesn't fully recognize my keyboard, meaning it reverts back to the standard (and annoying) light strobe lighting profile. The only way to fix this is to completely unplug the keyboard and plug it back in. This happens on both the Mac and the Windows machine. It feels like Logitech just missed the mark for making this THE TKL keyboard for gamers, but build quality and supreme performance make this a great option none the less.

    So I am pretty big on mechanical keyboards, I have always loved the feel of them and are privy to Cherry blues. This keyboard has a similar feel to Cherry blues with the Blue Clicky switches. They are not as loud as Cherry blues (which my coworkers appreciate) but still extremely responsive and have 0 lag. The keyboard feels good on the fingers, the response is fast, the compact nature makes it easy to put anywhere on any desk. I have a Corsair Hyper-X (10 key) and I admit, I like the compact nature of this keyboard better because it does allow me to move my mouse around with ease and not have to worry about bumping my keyboard. The features on this keyboard are quite impressive, but only possible through the GHub application which you have to download and install on your computer in order to take advantage of. This is where the keyboard really shines is when you pair it with the GHub app. The amount of macros you can create is insane, and even better, you can download custom macro sets that people have created for various games and applications. I played around with these macros in gaming and in just everyday use and I am very impressed how easy it is to set them up and use them. The customization of colors is endless on this keyboard with the GHub app! I know it sounds gimmicky, but it definitely is a cool feature on a RGB keyboard to have custom light sequences and you can save them to the keyboard itself so when you travel or move the keyboard around, it will remember those settings without having to have the app installed. You can also download custom sequences from other users. All in all, this is a great mechanical keyboard for gaming, everyday use, to impress your friends with cool light sequences and crazy macros to achieve domination in gaming and in life. Definitely going to be switching to this as my primary keyboard!

    Very Versatile Keyboard

    The Logitech G Pro keyboard is what every PC gamer needs in his arsenal. The compact design is great. (They dropped the number key pad) The feel is not cheap but a nicely constructed keyboard. The item weighs a little over 2 lbs. with a size of 14 X 6. This thing can be beat on for hours and not give an inch. The 3 level rubber elevated feet help keep it from moving. The GX Clicky switches are loud (too loud if you plan on using this in a cubicle farm at work) but perfect for home use. The feel is precise, so miss typed keys are not a factor anymore. The clicky keys themselves are swappable with Linear or tactile. You know when a key is pressed. Downloading the GHUB app will let you select many different, lighting presets. The RGB lighting can also be set to change colors, patterns and speed. I found this to be great in a dimly lit gaming area. With the keys lit. My timing and accuracy improved. Especially by setting up lighting on the keys I use most. Once you have configured everything the options are saved via on board memory. This is especially helpful when playing COD where you really need command and actions to be lightning fast. Customizing the F keys to do operations is easy, there are a ton of presets or you can create your own. The keyboard comes with a 3 pronged USB Micro USB cable for a secure, snug, safe fit. This can be removed for safe transport. I plan on using mine for my Retro arcade cabinet. The changing colors match my RGB buttons. I would recommend this to any and all gamers.

    Must have gaming keyboard!!

    I regularly play games on my PC and have found that this keyboard is my favourite one for games so far! It features some of the same tech that the larger one has but it's compact, which for me, is preferred for all of the games and things that I do on my PC. If you haven't tried a true mechanical keyboard, you should. You'll find that those that are high quality like this one not only feels very responsive but is also very responsive. The keys on this one, though mechanical, are actually very quiet to type on compared to other mechanical keyboards that I have (like the Corsair and the Razer). I'll say that in contrast to those other two I mentioned, this one feels superior in every aspect of how it's built - it just feels expensive and solid! Lighting works great and the one thing I absolutely love about the new GX Blue Clicky keys is that there is very little/no light bleed for each key. I think it looks cleaner and just sharper all around. The cable for this keyboard is definitely long enough for most situations and is a nice cable. Seriously love this keyboard and will be getting one for the office as I love typing on it in addition to it being a superb gaming keyboard that is sure to give you an edge in game with it's ultrafast processing and responsiveness. I'd definitely recommend this keyboard if you're looking for one that's compact and features a good set of mechanical keys.

    A Gamer's Dream Keyboard!!!

    First off, I never knew I would enjoy clicky-clack on this magnitude! I love the response of the keys on this keyboard as they feel so natural to my hands and it types with so much accuracy and precision. In keyboards, I really need and want a numeric key pad; however, this unit does not have one and I can roll without it! That is how much I love this keyboard as I’ve made it my main driver. When Logitech described this Keyboard as PRO, they were 100% accurate in every sense of the word as this keyboard has been robust and deliver in every category from connections, feel, and the light sync wave that waves across the keyboard with the array of beautiful colors is just breath-taking and makes a joyful typing and/or gaming experience. While this is a wired keyboard, but I truly have not noticed it until I see the connection to the unit, but the overall performance and handling have trumped that for me as well. This is my first mechanical keyboard. I have heard some great things about mechanical keyboards in so much how they afford gamers a great gaming experience and their precision with regards to accuracy and depth. Suffice to say, I am a believer who is FULLY convinced as this is by far the best keyboard, I have ever owned!!

    This mechanical keyboard has it all and everything I can ask for in a gaming tool. The flow is impressive, the response time is unmatched, and the look is beautiful. The software for Logitech is among the best in the gaming industry. I can customize anything I want to and set presets for all my games and programs when I'm not gaming. I love the lighting profiles and creating custom lighting profiles is why I am now obsessed with this keyboard. For each specific game I play on, I can set up my keyboard layout Macros and lighting profile to accommodate that game. The keys are very clicky as with any mechanical keyboard and the smooth transition from key to key is very noticeable. I know that I can trust the input on this keyboard and that the response time is going to be as instant as it can get when gaming. The keyboard is also great at general typing when in game chats and can be used for everyday use but for wear and tear concerns, I would only use for gaming purposes. The combination of the Logitech software and the beautifully designed physical hardware is a winning combination for me and I will always look for Logitech for any gaming needs. I am very impressed with this keyboard and would definitely recommend it to all gamers.
