The Logitech G610 Orion Brown Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard a decent choice?

Ripper7620 · February 28, 2018

I'm leaning towards the Corsair K70, but I prefer the aesthetics of the Logitech. I don't want to make a decision based on looks alone. Is the Corsair K70 a significantly better choice as far as function? Thank you in advance.

They function the exact same. They're basic keyboards. I'd go with the Logitech if you like it's design.

Thank you, I appreciate the reply. I'll likely go with the white Logitech. I'm not going to need to do a large degree of typing for music creation.

IIRC the K70 is a MX Red and the G610 is a MX Brown. So if you don't wanna make a decision based on looks, make a decision based on switch-type.

Reds are linear, non-tactile, non-clicky switches. Ideal for gaming and well, noise-sensitive people.

Browns are tactile, non-clicky switches.

I prefer the Logitech since it looks MUCH better with a clean/sleek aesthetic. AND I also prefer brown switches.

Thank you very much for the feedback.
