I have a K70 and love it, build quality is great, and the media keys are also really nice.

I have used browns before, they are far better than blues (not currently - Using a steel-series Apex) i would say be 100% sure you want a mech first, i thought i did and didnt like it - the G710 i have used, and a friend swears by it, so interpret that how you wish! 

 

Hope this helps!

The only big difference is that the G710 has macro keys, if you want macros, you want to go with the G710, if you don't need macros,

The K70 will be better.

I love my 710+. I don't sue the macros for games, I use them for every day windows operations, like calculator, open up programs I use often, or with a combo of windows key+ one of the macros I put my PC to sleep. Very convenient. And I love the Browns. For an everyday typing experience, blues are better, I got my mom a keyboard with blues and it is pretty nice for typing. But I sue this for typing and gaming and really enjoy the experience.

I personally have had some products from logitech and while some are good (g25) im really dissapointed with others. The same goes for the g710+, it costs much and as far as i know not all keys are actually mechanical (I think its the makro keys).

I'd get the G710+ because of Brown keys and white backlight. The macro keys are actually useful for browsing, especially if you're using Chrome, and for Windows commands in general.
