Logitech G710 (non +) Mx blue

AlexStriz
Go to solution Solved by UnknownEngineer,

Yeah, I really like the K70. It just looks really weird to be able to see the switches themselves, especially with the ones on the RGB ones being transparent. I know this is just me nitpicking, but if I'm gonna be sitting in front of this keyboard all day I want it to like how it looks. To me it's between this G710 and the Mx Blue Ducky Shine 3. BTW, what made you go with the G710+ instead of the K70?

 

Here's what I'm talking about. The keys look like they are raised off the board. 

I went with the G710+ because of the additional macro keys, and possibly because I was getting a G502, now my KB and mouse are Logitech. ;)  Had I been able to acquire the K70 RGB I would have take that instead. What prevented me was the price and availability of the K70 RGB, it is 50€ more than the G710+ and AFAIK still not available in the store I use. Otherwise the G710+ beats the K70 (non RGB) by a small margin (macro keys).

Ultimately you I recommend you consider if you need those macro keys, the G710+ is also quite a large and heavy keyboard, some don't like that. I think it just makes the keyboard feel more durable.

 

Otherwise I would say G710, I still would need the macro keys on the G710, the Ducky shine 3 was eliminated from my list of choices quite fast. The ducky lacks even the media keys that the K70 offers, and it looks quite plane to me.

But that is just me, I don't know what kind of games you play, or how you play, thus I cannot say which would work for you the best.

Hey everyone,

 

So I was on Logitech's site and noticed that they have a keyboard called the G710. It's the same as the G710+ but with MX blues instead of browns. I was just wondering, is this new? If not, has anyone had an experience with it? It looks really good.

From what I've heard it's the same as the G710+ with blue switches and different color scheme. There have been threads about it, but I don't believe it's available yet.

I think there was a news post about this last week, I can't find it anymore though. Maybe if I go through my notifications, will take a while though.

Couldn't find it, wen't through all 17 pages in my notifications. must have been deleted for some reason, or it is older than I can remember.

 

As for actually contributing to the topic I would say that I am happy with my G710+, I am certain that I would not like the blues over the browns.

I am going to buy this. not going to buy Corsair because of the fugly logo. Also this matches my Logitech mouse.

That's ok. Thanks for looking! 

 

How's the build quality of the board? Is the scroll wheel nice? Also, are the WASD and arrow keys a different texture/material than the others? or just different color. The only reason I'm interested in the board is because it looks really nice, just not a fan of browns (opposite of you: mx blues 4 lyfe :P )

 

edit: The "other" new Logitech keyboard the G910 Orion Spark RGB was released mid this month. Maybe this came out around the same time and it was just overshadowed by the G910?

Same here. The Corsair kinda f'ed up with the new logo. Plus in his video linus was talking about the software being below expectations as well. And the long wait for the keyboard kinda killed all the hype.

 

What mouse do you have? I am due for a new mouse+keyboard combo. this and the g502 is what I'm leaning towards right now.

There is only a color difference for the WASD and arrow keys. As for the scroll wheel I haven really used it much, I think it is fine, the center is rubberized, it doesn't slip and it isn't too easy to roll. It also doesn't have any keying like most scroll wheels on mice, that's a plus to me.

EDIT: Also it doesn't have a stopper, it rotates 360 degrees.

I have the G602, you can't feel that it is wireless AT ALL even in the eco mode. The 2 AA batteries are lasting a looong time around 2 months, and I don't turn the mouse off when my pc is off.

Alright. I might just have to buy this. I like the K70 as well but the raised keys really bug me. That scroll wheel sounds like a nice feature. Thanks for all the help!

In the end I think they keys are at the same height, if there is any KB I can recommend ever this one then it would be a K70, preferably RGB.

As I have told countless times to others it was the one KB that made my choice difficult when I was choosing my KB.

Yeah, I really like the K70. It just looks really weird to be able to see the switches themselves, especially with the ones on the RGB ones being transparent.

Sorry for the late reply. After a bit of consideration, I decided to go with this keyboard. I feel the additional functionality of the macro and media keys will be useful once I learn to use them in my day-to-day usage. The fact that it's a heavy keyboard doesn't matter to me, as it's going to be sitting on my desk it's whole life. I want to thank you for all your help. I ordered the keyboard yesterday. It should be here by the end of next week
