Logitech G710+ review Stay Away!

[Sidiox]

I have the G710+ as well and I bought mine as a demo unit. It has worked just fine for the last year, only 2 leds are becoming a bit less bright, but I don't' mind that so I'm not gonna RMA. As for RMA experiences with Logitech, I have a G600 with the old flash, which could not be updated, I emailed them abnout it and they sent me a brand new G600 and I could keep the old one, so I have no problems with Logitech at all

I've had this keyboard for over a year, perhaps even close to two years (unsure) & mine has everything intact. I use the keyboard heavily as well with gaming & typing reports.

I never had issue contacting Logitech customer service. I had a Logitech G9X mouse with the feet worn out after few months which scratched my mousepad hard surface. I contacted them and they offered to send me a new mouse without needing to send mine back.

I've had my eye on this keyboard for a while now. It'll be my first Mechanical keyboard. I really like Logitech. Not a fanboy. I'll switch if I find something better.

But I have a G15 that still works well. The Rollover sucks compared to other keyboards I've used tho.

I also have a G5, G500, G602 and I've bought M500s for my whole department at work because they just seem to last longer than other products.

The cable crapped out on my G5 twice and the RMA process on it was really simple. The second time they just sent me the G500. I've since bought a replacement cable on Ebay and popped that back into the G5 and it works ok as a productivity mouse.

Mine has been running for a year and the only problem I had was that some caps are slightly loose and fall off when transporting, but other than that I highly recommend it and their support is great.

i'd say this is an overly negative review...

the lighting is nice, the media keys work, it has just enough g-keys to be usefull. my left control cap did break, and i havent bothered to call logitech about, cause its not that big of a deal.  its a nice solid keyboard overall maybe one day ill consider either replacing or fixing the cap, but today is not that day

Never had the experience myself, but a keyboard's keycaps should not break. No matter what. 

So the fact that it broke at all from (what I assume is) normal use, shouldn't be acceptable.

 

Although, this is probably just a minority thing, and it probably comes down to bad experiences being voiced vs completely-as-expected experiences being just...not voiced.

Yep. Just had to RMA my one a few days ago and got my replacement and some LED's have a warm white instead of a neutral/cool white.

[Lauen]

like mine?

lol my Mionix Zibal 60 has been doing that with all the buttons on the left side, ctrl, shift, caps, tab and that | / § button, ever since I managed to spill coke on my keyboard and left it to dry, then sprayed all the switches with electric cleaning spray.

Been using the keyboard for a couple of weeks. I might do a quick review next year.

[Fassive]

as for why they want you to send in the whole keybord is so that they know your not ''scamming'' them you could have just as well took a picture of the internet and showed it to them ;P

I used one of these for a few months and didn't have any problems with it, liked the feel of the switches but ended up going back to my blues.

They actually just released a version with Blues, called (as far as I can tell) the G710 (without a plus).

[Syntaxvgm]

Wow...I almost bought this yesterday....got a K70 instead after trying it...and I gotta say I think I love it. Cherry reds...writing a review over the course of this week

I have had this keyboard for about 2 1/2 years and none of this has happened to me. I am a relatively heavy typer and i am not noticing that much wear. the only way someone could do some thing like this they would have to rage at a game, then proceed to smash the the keyboard out of anger. Don't think that I don't bash my keyboard out of anger too. Just not that hard. And i would actually believe it or not recommend this keyboard because of its longevity.

I had the same issue with mine , they offered me a brand new keyboard.

When did you buy it? I got mine a couple weeks ago but no problems yet. Only paid 60 euros for it so not too bummed if it breaks though

[Tsuki]

holy necro..

[lizhijian]

I tried a mechanical keyboard from 1STPLAYER. Though the brand is very new, I like the keyboard. I got the value for what I pay

2013 , key broke in 2014 , two days later i had a brand new keyboard at my door and was able to keep the old one for spare parts.

Note i am in france so i explained i couldn't get any keycaps for it, there is no keycaps shop in france, it's all about import.

[iM8Pizza]

Wow I was thinking about buying this keyboard. Sill might get it in the future unless a new keyboard with brown switches comes up.

there are a lot of keyboards with Brown switches

[iM8Pizza]

See, I don't have spare keycaps. I'm not spending $50 on a set of replacements either. I shouldn't have to resort to that. They saved a nickel using lower quality plastic and in return spent thousands of dollars on RMAs from pissed off gamers who might never use their products again. I always knew Logitech's quality was mid range but I expected their products to at least not break on me.

OP, you could get a new set of keycaps which prices around $40ish at mechanicalkeyboards.com or pay $20 just for the shipping and get a whole new keyboard. heck dude, NEW.KEYBOARD.

[Hoover1979]

The achy breaky key issue is still ever present.  My G710+ is less than a year old and 3 keys have broken off already (Left CTRL, Left ALT & DEL) and my ESC key is about ro break off too.

 

DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE KEYBOARDS IF YOU ARE READING THIS!  This is not a couple of faults that can be RMA'd this is a major mechanical fault that is simply not being addressed.

 

I am going to get a new gaming keyboard and it will NOT be a G710+

 

[rattacko123]

just buy some better keys or something
