First time Mechanical

Logitech g710+

Posted

So I've seen most people believe that mechanical is the best key switch out there and I was considering buying one.  I have limited knowledge on keyboards in general, so I was hoping I could get some suggestions.

 

Requirements:

     Silent Keys (I can't stand having there be any noise)

     Much Media keys

     Decent life (I don't want a cheap board that won't last very long)

     Full Keyboard

     Backlit maybe?

 

 

Any suggestions are welcome and thanks for the help in advance!

Probably wouldn't advise a 710+ but then I'm not sure what I would recommend.

Spoiler

Corsair 400C- Intel i7 6700- Gigabyte Gaming 6- GTX 1080 Founders Ed. - Intel 530 120GB + 2xWD 1TB + Adata 610 256GB- 16GB 2400MHz G.Skill- Evga G2 650 PSU- Corsair H110- ASUS PB278Q- Dell u2412m- Logitech G710+ - Logitech g700 - Sennheiser PC350 SE/598se


Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

BTW, the G710+ keycaps are notoriously short lived. Look into your own keycaps if you want some of your own that are really good.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Ok, I'll be sure to look into that.  The board just has the features I want and I looked up cherry mx browns and they sound like what I want.

If it comes down to it, then Logitech has great customer service. And even then, you could buy better replacement keycaps further down the line.
