What is Logitech's flagship keyboard?

Aggravated Salmon

My G910 was my first mechanical keyboard and I'm not impressed by this supposed flagship at all, taking a look at my friend's G413, i can tell it has a much much better build quality. How can a supposed 'lesser'; keyboard have a metal backplate and the 'flagship' not?

Is it really all the additional macro keys and such that drives the price up???

The g910 does have a metal mounting plate, it has a plastic case/bezel around it as compared to the g413 which has a floating switch design on a thicker metal mounting plate.

Well if you want higher quality options you can check stuff out from Ducky or DAS keyboard.

eww, definitely not das, das has some of the most outrageous marketing and has really bad abs lasered caps. 

Better options would be leopold, filco, ducky, topre, and customs keebs like ramaworks.

Which topre keeb you looking to get? I suggest a realforce r2 with 55g topre. The new r2 ones are quite nice.
