Posted June 29, 2013 Purely preference. I have the G710+ and I think it's amazing.

Posted June 29, 2013 Hi! I'm typing this with my Razer BW 2013 ultimate. I like it. I think it's awesome for gaming; typing wise, I don't like it much. Long keys like "right shift" and "enter" wobble a bit, and they are a little bit stiff to be pressed down if you are pressing at the far end of it. But this problem only happens on keys like right shift, enter and backspace keys. But it's fine if you pressing down at the middle of the key. Space bar doesn't has the same problem. that's why I said it's good for gaming because you don't have to use the right side of your keyboard that much while gaming. I am playing games like AC series, DMC, and fps games. I don't know how it feels if you are playing mmo games. I never use the logitech so I cannot do comparison on both keyboard. Let me know if you don't understand my comment, I will try to explain more. English is not my first language. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 29, 2013 Author So I can see a problem for Razer BW Ultimate but I still don't know, anyone who has experience in both of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 29, 2013 Either of those keyboards are going to be good for gaming. I prefer MX Brown keyswitches for games that require me to rapidly press a key -- though it's all personal preference. You won't know what you like until you try it; but here's a decent guide to help you find your perfect mechanical keyboard: http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/first_mechanical_keyboard.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 29, 2013 I've used both and prefered the G710+. I prefer Logitech over Razer anyway but the G710+ gave a much better feel than the Razer and I love the white backlight on it. The brown switches on the G710+ are great as well. 12600k | MSI MEG S280 | SSUPD Meshilicious | Asus ROG STRIX Z690-I | Crucial 16GB 4800MHz CL38 | MSI Gaming 980Ti | CM V850 SFX | WD SN850 1TB, WD SN550 1TB Pi 4TB NAS | Asus VG27AQ, Asus PB278Q | Logitech G Pro X Superlight | Glorious G-HXL-STEALTH | Keychron K4 V2 | Sennheiser HD 599 w/ Fiio E10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 29, 2013 Go with brown switches. You won't regret it :) They're a bit less tactile than the blues, but they're way more silent, which is a big plus (in my book at least). I don't regret a second swapping out my BW ultimate with a Ducky Shine 2 TKL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 30, 2013 +1 on the G710+. Brown switches are great for both typing and gaming. The G710+ has O-rings beneath each keycap to dampen the noise. It has a bright white backlight which is great. :) Hello and Welcome to LTT Forum! If you are a new member, please read the rules located in "Forum News and Info".

Posted June 30, 2013 Just got myself a G710+ and liking it a lot more than my razer BW, i like both blue and brown switches but the build quality on the logitech feels better. Also the logitech has damening on the keys which im guessing are to make it quieter during key presses, not sure if everyone would like it though.

Posted June 30, 2013 Seriously, I have not tried either, but IF I were pushed to choose either one.....I'd take Logitech over Razer anytime, anywhere. I have enough confidence in Logitech to choose their product over Razer's......perhaps that's just me.
