I got my G910 Orion Spectrum keyboard recently and I'm loving it so far. The Romer-G switches feel smooth and are very nice for typing and gaming. I just have one question, isn't the switch's housing color supposed to be blue instead of black? This isn't really that big of a deal, but I wasn't able to find any pictures or documentation on the internet for black Romer-G switches. My biggest concern is that the keyboard may be a fake, though I highly doubt it. Thanks

Hey guys, I got a G410 Atlas Spectrum about a year ago and it worked perfectly fine and I loved it. However after 5 months of use it got this chatter problem so I RMA'd it and got a new one and that one worked perfectly fine again until recently (again after about 5-6 months) got a very similar chatter problem. The chatter problem is pretty weird and unique, It was pretty similar through both of my keyboards. So both started chattering after roughly 5-6 months and it involves these keys (both of the keyboards): W, E, R, F, G, H, I, O, P and the Space key - Mostly E, R, H and especially O (a key that I rarely use in games and I don't type much) They all start chattering at the same time, what I mean by this is that it's not like first O starts doing it then after a few days another one and then other keys. They all start chattering at the same time but the amount of chattering each key does differs and gets worse by time. And for the first one or two weeks when I turn on my PC after being off for a good while, it's fine and almost no chatter for 30-60 mins then it starts getting worse by time. So I really don't know what's going on. I don't have access to a keycap remover sadly (they don't sell any where I live) and I only recently found out that they sell compressed air cans (because the name is different .-.) So I haven't really been able to clean my keyboards. But as I mentioned the problems are pretty unique and different than typical chattering issues caused by dirt and stuff so I don't think that's the problem. But then what is the problem? Is it a design issue from Romer-G switches or this one model of keyboard? Should I just change my keyboard this time after RMA? Tho I really like the feel of the Romer-G switches x( Super responsive and light weight and pretty quiet too so it wont annoy others at night or if I'm on call (I personally like clicky switches lol) Could it be because of some kind of "dirty" power delivery to the keyboard or something? I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me what is going on

Hi. I was wondering if the romer-g switches could be replaced by cherry switches(cherry mx blues). If so, you could then replace the crap keycaps that logitech included. Thanks!

Been using the g413 romer-g keyboard for 8 months mainly for gaming (overwatch, r6s, pubg). I smash the spacebar often when playing OW for double jumping and I wonder if it is the cause. It worked fine until last week when I often double jump accidentally with one keypress only. I tried typing in keyboard tester and there was 2 input with 1 keypress (not all the time, but often). Also tried plugging in another normal-functioning one to the same PC and it worked fine. So it confirms it is the hardware itself. Dust cleaning didn't help. Does anyone have fixes for this? Don't want to buy a new one yet as it's quite new. But any help would be appreciated. Cheers in advance

I got bored so started looking at keyboards when I noticed neither CoolerMaster, Corsair or Logitech mention whether or not their keycaps are double shot injected. I remember Linus mentioning it not long ago regarding their wireless keyboard which he stated didn't have them. Although my current peripherals are still working fine & I don't plan to replace them just yet. How do I find out which of these companies or even specific keyboard models have the double shot injected keycaps?

Hello everyone, I'm in the market for a mechanical keyboard for gaming, and I can't decide which key switch to go with: Romer-G or Cherry MX Brown. I've tested both out, and like them both, but my main concern is durability. Also, between Razer, Corsair, and Logitech, how would you rate each brand based on product quality and customer service? As for the products I've been looking at, they are the G810, G910, Corsair Strafe, and Corsair K70. What other models would you recommend, and what models should I shy away from? All feedback is appreciated. Thank you!

Hey ho! I just wanted to share my experience with MKBs I'm really bored at the office rn and usually share this on a local subreddit, but reddit got blocked a month ago. Probably due to high traffic coming from me haha I ACCIDENTALLY SUBMITTED THE TOPIC OMFG WAIT A SEC LEMME EDIT So hi. I'm not much of a keyboard enthusiast but I usually research very long before buying a keyboard. Especially because they MKBs cost so much more, and I would like to know EVERYTHING there is to know about a device before I buy it. LOGITECH G910 ORION SPARK (ROMER-G) My first MKB was a used Logitech G910 Orion Spark. Got it as a steal for <100$. Before that I was using a Razer Deathstalker Essential (worst keyboard I've ever used). I really liked the Romer-G switches as by feel, they still have a tactile feel, but are softer and easier to actuate vs MX/Clone switches. I also enjoyed the drum-roll-volume thing as well as the media keys. The RGB was a plus. But I touch-type, so I noticed that I only ever enjoy the RGB when I'm tinkering with its lighting effects hahaha. However, I did not like the gamery design as I thought it was very bulky (I prefer sleek and minimalist). Also the keycaps are shit. I would sometimes mistype because of the stupid angles. It was also very big (due to the additional macro keys which I did not use). Living in a shared room, it was really just a bad buy for me. Also on my last few months with it I noticed that I would sometimes actuate keys just by resting my finger ahaha I lasted almost a year using this keyboard. MAGICFORCE CRYSTAL 108 (GATERON BROWN) So as I couldn't bear the G910 any longer I sold it off for roughly the same price as I bought it (ikr I'm evil). Then bought this Magicforce for around 80$. Reasons: Simple layout with only 4 additional key at the top of the num pad (which doesn't really add to the KB footprint White design was in-sync with my white SG13 Gateron Browns Pretttyyyyy I was really excited when I got this keyboard. I even brought it to my office and tested it there for a month. The typing experience was superb. However I noticed that the switches got softer after use? I'm not sure if this is normal. TBH, I really liked the keyboard but after a few months of use, I've decided to change to a black-themed PC setup (white was really just impossible to pursue without mods ahaha) I'm trying to switch to portable and wireless I just moved, and now I play on the floor. I use a lap desk for my peripherals; a full 100% and a mouse wont fit. ANNE PRO 60% (GATERON BROWN) Last month, a known enthusiast from a local group posted details for a group buy. This is when I first discovered the ANNE Pro and researched about it. It was basically the solution to all my problems. I can get it in black, it's very portable, and is wireless. RGB is also a cute +. So after a day (not even) of research, I went ahead and joined the group buy. I received the package just last night. Here are my thoughts IT IS REALLY HARD to adapt to the 60% layout. I'm very used to using the Insert/Home/PgUp/Delete/End/PgDn and arrow keys during regular use. My right-hand fingers would randomly press the mousepad thinking that there's a key there. Hell I can't even permanently delete a file. I guess I'd need to practice using the Fn key more. For gaming, I mostly just play LoL (or rather, I can only play LoL as I currently don't have a discrete GPU), the 60% layout was enough. My only gripe being not having a tilde key for my trinkets. For sure I thought losing F1 would be a big deal, but I realized it was easier to just press space bar using my left thumb. The smartphone app is not great, but not bad either. ANNE Key - I don't like macros so I probably won't be using it any time soon. I might try this later on to due some basic combos (e.g. shift-delete) The white floor (is it called a floor?) on the board really accentuates the RGB and makes good lighting for the MKB. Typing experience - better than the Magicforce. It somehow produces less noise (idk). Also the switches feel better (not sure if this was because the Magicforce is already a few months old) I guess I'm gonna give it a few more weeks so I can adapt. But it's really hard when every time I go to work, I'd indulge myself to a full 100% keyboard (membrane though). I'm already selling the Magicforce as I need funds for my wisdom teeth surgery. Anyways that is all. I've spent already 2 hours composing this. Only 6 hours to go with my boring work day. ADD1: To finalize my wireless peripherals, I plan on buying a Logitech G603.. Do you have any other recommended wireless mice at around the same price?

For an incredibly long time, Logitech has been selling some pretty decent mechanical keyboards, including those with CherryMX switches. Now, though, it appears Logitech has a new mechanical switch known as Romer-G. Do these keyboards with Romer-G switches perform any better than their CherryMX counterparts? Are Romer-G keyboards worth buying at all?
-
Okay, I need someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to mechanical keyboards. I have a few questions. First off, let me say that I am in the process of buying my first mechanical keyboard. Currently I'm using a Sidewinder X4 that I've loved, but the red LED back-lighting doesn't go with my blue/black theme, plus it's ancient and I've heard oh so many good things about Cherry MX switches. I am first and foremost a gamer, mostly FPS but also a little of everything. That being said, I still have long coding sessions and papers to type so that is still important to me. Price is NO issue. I will drop some serious penny on the perfect, long-lasting product. I would rather not have 2 keyboards on my desk (one for gaming, and one for typing). I want a fully stocked keyboard (NOT 10 Keyless) that is a beast in performance for gaming and still very comfortable to type on for hours. Here are my wants and needs for the perfect keyboard: 1. RBG or Blue LED Back-Lighting (RGB preferred) 2. Gaming Key Switches (Idk if Cherries are the best or if Logitech's Romer-G and Razer's Mechanical switches are truly better for gaming) 3. Media keys, volume scroll wheel, detachable wrist pad, & macro keys 4. Onboard memory and processing power (I read this guy's review and I feel like it will help gaming performance, is he wrong though?). 5.Silent (I hate the clacking sound), little to no flex, with durable keycaps. From my own research I've narrowed it down to a few options, and with those options there are compromises and questions (Why can't there be just 1 keyboard to rule them all??!). NOTE***These are the ones I have found, if you guys have keyboard suggestions that fit me better please suggest away! Logitech G910 Orion Spark Corsair Gaming k95 RGB Roccat Ryos MK Pro Razer Blackwidow Chroma Stealth Here are my questions: 1. Are the Romer-G/Razer Mechanicals actually better for gaming than the cherry mx switches? 2. Is onboard Memory/processor REALLY as important as the guy (in the review linked above) says it is? Logitech's and Razer's don't have onboard memory/processor, should I worry? 3. Which Cherry MX is truly the best for gaming/typing? I've read the browns are a good compromise but that the reds are the best for gaming. How much better are the reds vs. browns for gaming? 4. Cherry MX vs Romer-G vs Razer Mechanicals...Who's the winner? Here are my thoughts on each keyboard: 1. The Orion Spark looks awesome, has a ton of features and their own gaming switch. I have the G502 mouse and love it. My only problem with this keyboard are the crazy key caps and no onboard memory/processor (however if onboard mem/pro isn't really a big deal performance wise then it would just be the keycaps). As far as I know there are no alternative keycap replacements and I would be forced to get used to these ones. Who knows, maybe I would love the keycap design. I hear they are a good cap design for gaming but a nightmare for typing. I want something that gives just as much of an edge in gaming as this keyboard but is great to type on. 2. The K95 seems almost perfect, the only thing holding me back on this one is whether or not its Cherry MX switch is truly inferior to the new Romer-G/Razer switches. Tons of macro keys. TONS. It looks stylish, it has great RGB lighting, brushed aluminum, media keys, volume wheel, detachable comfy looking wrist wrest. The only thing that would make this better is if it had a side swapable num pad like the sidewinder x6 (why doesn't everyone do that??) 3. The Roccat was one that I looked at for a while but I have some reservations about. First off, The board does have an impressive onboard dual processor and memory. It's not RGB which would have been better but it has a good blue led backlight. There is a wrist rest but its not detachable and is kinda giant. I read the rest isn't flush with the desktop either which might be bothersome. No media keys or volume wheel (those aren't TOO big of a deal but I still want them) but it does have macro keys below the space bar which I think is a cool and good idea. Also my pick of Cherry switches. Again there's the question: Cherry vs. Romer-G/Razer Mechanicals. This has USB/Audio pass thru which is nice but I have a separate hub for that. 4. Finally, the Razer Blackwidow Chroma Stealth. It has no onboard memory/processor. It does have redesigned Razer Mechanical switches which are supposed to be faster and better. Great RGB Lighting. A pathetic attempt at a wrist wrest but I could always get an after market one which could even be better than having a built in one, idk. The key switches are SILENT and that is a nice plus for me -- to have gaming switches that are silent. No crazy keycaps like the G910. Overall a solid choice. So there you all have it. Everything that's been going thru my head these past couple days. Overall I feel like I would love to try them out side by side to see and feel it all in person but I don't have a store nearby that carries any let alone all of these. I'll update as I go to help answer this thread also. Thanks for reading and PLEASE HELP!

Deciding between G910 and K70 RGB, and I'm leaning towards the G910, but Linus's review of the keycaps makes me shudder. Anyone know of good ones that fix that angled keycap mess?

(Now with a 3good picture from a T5 Rebel.) I’ve had an uninteresting/boring past when it comes to keyboards. My first keyboard with my gaming PC was a Microsoft Wireless 800. After that came a Logitech MK320. My first two keyboards then were plastic hunks of wireless membrane junk. There wasn’t really anything wrong with either of them, but they didn’t feel very nice and they didn’t feel like high-quality solutions. So, I wised up. I went around the internet a bit and people were talking about “mechanical keyboards.” I learned about Cherry MX, the most common switch type and the keyboards that carried them. I looked for the best price for what I wanted and I ended up with a Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition. It rocked Cherry MX Blues. While I liked the feel, the build quality and noise let me far down. I used it for about a year, and then found the Logitech G710 Plus. I heard about how Cherry MX Browns were basically quiet MX Blues and how the G710 Plus was one of the best gaming keyboards out there. I wasn’t a fan of the color scheme but I picked one up and fell in love. It felt great. So, two years down the line I find myself wanting something new. The keyboard market has changed quite a lot now. Cherry’s patent on the MX design expired and companies started making their own, most notably Kailhua (Rosewill RGB80, Razer’s new BlackWidows, Thermaltake’s Poseidon Z, etc.) But they were obviously cheap Cherry ripoffs, feel and all. I wanted something that would still scream quality and be an actual upgrade from the G710+. I was originally set on getting Corsair’s K70 RGB, as the lighting and genuine Cherry switches drew me in. However, considering how much of a hard time my cousin has had with his original keyboard and his replacement, I became skeptical. The software on Corsair’s solution, while having better features than the G910 has some obvious issues and a steep learning curve. There were few other options for RGB keyboards since the RGB80 and BlackWidow Chroma use Kailhua switches. There was one obvious choice left though, and it was from Logitech. The G910 Orion Spark. The appearance is striking, the design leaves questions and the lighting is gorgeous and hassle-free. But it comes at a higher average price point than the Chroma and K70. I feel however that it’s not fair to compare the Orion Spark to the K70, as the obvious omission of macro keys leaves but the K95 RGB for Corsair, which retails at a whopping $189.99 USD (though it can be found for less.) But the G910 has Omron’s new Romer-G switch, how does it stack up to Cherry? Let's dive in and find out. Build/Design It has a fair bit of heft to it. It’s thick, chunky and very nicely built. It uses soft touch plastic nearly everywhere, with gloss black plastic in some key places (like between the wrist rest and the keyboard’s body.) Crumbs and debris may build up in that area over time, but it’s nothing a can of air won’t get rid of. The keycaps have a sharp inward angle to them to keep your fingers in place. They perform their function fairly well, though I’m not a huge fan of the feel. The inconsistency in the design of the keycaps is what really kills it though for me. The WASD, arrow keys and G keys have a line design on them, the rest of the keys do not. Some of the keys have sharp angles, some are rather tame and the Windows keys are convex. It feels like a mishmash of design decisions made by multiple people without taking input. Lighting/Arx Dock/Arx Companion The lighting shines through the keycaps in a very uniform and strong enough manner. The colors are vibrant, however the color wheel in Logitech’s Gaming Software is not entirely accurate. I found that I had to play around with it a lot to get the exact color I wanted, but I was always able to get the color right. Unfortunately, the NUM/CAPS/SCROLL lock lights and the media keys are permanently blue. Disappointing but not a deal breaker. The software is very easy to use, but I would like to see more lighting diversity in the mix (for example, make the colors in the wave mode editable and make a reactive typing mode like Corsair’s with the water pond effect.) Now for the part everyone has been waiting for, the Arx Dock! Kidding, but it’s an interesting add for sure. The Arx companion app for iOS and Android is easy to use and offers some nice features, such as modifying macros and monitoring system temps and usage. It’s a nice addition to an awesome keyboard. Ergonomics/Comfort Sorry to bore you guys with everything but the switches, but I see this as an important time to talk about ergonomics. The keycap design is interesting, but a little strange and uncomfortable to use. You will get used to them, but it takes time. That’s not my concern though. The wrist rest design is seemingly inadequate. While writing this review, I had to take a couple of breaks because my right wrist was feeling sore (though I have not yet felt that same soreness again since.) The left wrist is fine due to the large palm mount, but the right wrist isn’t left with much as it’s assumed that the keyboard will be used primarily for gaming. I would have loved to see a uniform design here, though if you’re willing to hack apart a $170 keyboard with a Dremel it can be fixed. That’s not a valid solution though. Omron's switches Lastly, the switches. Omron, you have really outdone yourselves here. They’re almost perfect to me. They bottom out quickly, which I happen to like a lot. They feel like shallow MX Reds, yet they feel better than an analogy can describe. They’re pretty quiet, they feel great and they’re good for any typist. Too bad the caps are so angled. If the switches were designed to be compatible with MX stems, they would be perfect. The lack of availability of aftermarket caps is another downside then. If you want a highly customizable keyboard, this isn’t the one for you. Closing To close, I can say this with great certainty. This is the best keyboard I have ever used so far bar none. It’s nicely built out of materials that were well thought out with the end user in mind, the switches feel sublime and the lighting is beautiful. However, the keycaps are awkward to use, the blue LEDs for the media keys is a disappointment and the wrist rest is not the best. I would like to expand my mech collection in the future, hopefully with a KBC Pok3r or a Unicomp Ultra Classic 103-key. Those will wait for another day though. For a numeric score, I decided to use a system similar to JonnyGuru’s PSU ratings, which rate categorically on a scale of 1-10 and average those numbers into a final score. I will also include a list of pros and cons if the review was hard to follow or if you’re making the decision as I speak. Pros Beautiful design Nice, grippy finish on keycaps and chassis Vibrant and colorful LEDs Amazing switch feel Cons Lighting profiles not as diverse as the competition (could be fixed in an update) Wrist rest is inadequate, asymmetrical design does not feel good (major) Media keys and locks are blue only (minor) Arx Dock is blue (minor) Value It's one of six mechanical keyboards on the market that is this functional in terms of lighting. The Apex M800 RGB costs $200, the K95 RGB costs $180 and the BlackWidow Ultimate Chroma costs $160. Considering the amount that goes into building the switches alone, the typing feel compared to the others and the overall experience, I believe the keyboard is well worth what it costs.

So you're looking for keyboards. You find one you really like and it's at a great price and has everything you want - BUT, you see that it has "Cherry MX Brown" switches. What does that mean? What's the difference between these Cherry MX switches? How do I even know that I want Cherry switches? This thread will hopefully help you out. If you want to know which sort of the several Cherry MX switches would suit you best, this quiz can help you out. It's a bit rough around the edges but I hope it works for you. If the last screen for you goes black then that means two choices for you got tied results. If this is your case, comment below and I'll try to get back to you to help you out. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/48138688/ Any feedback for the quiz is welcome. It's a bit short too so if you can think of any questions to add, these are welcome as well. If you want extra help besides the quiz, this Tek Syndicate video should help you out some, although note that Cherry MX Blacks and Clears are not shown. If you want to know a bit more about the result you got, here's a quick guide below. Cherry MX Browns
