Hey guys, I can't decide between the keyboards listed in the poll. I'd appreciate it if you help me out by voting/recommending.

 

Thanks in advance!

I'm going with the Roccat mostly because I've heard the G710+ has keycap issues

Asrock 890GX Extreme 3 - AMD Phenom II X4 955 @3.50GHz - Arctic Cooling Freezer XTREME Rev.2 - 4GB Kingston HyperX - AMD Radeon HD7850 - Kingston V300 240GB - Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB - Chieftec APS-750 - Cooler Master HAF912 PLUS

probably the Roccat. I'd want to give them a try seeing logitech quality has been kinda getting worse lately. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

I have heard that the Logitech 710+ has some problems with the keys.They are fastened loosely.

Is that right? Has someone made some experiances, if the keys are fixed alright (especially while playing games).

the stems tend to break down

and apparently you have to send the whole keyboard back because fuck you that's why

They fixed those now and even if you got a faulty version I'm pretty sure logitech's excellent costumer service replaced those. 

 

With that out of the way the G710 just completely blows the Ryos out of the water.

Well would be great. Have they fixed the loose buttons too?

I have read a comment on the G710+ from Febuary 2015 and they still got the problem that the stems break down...

I do like the extra macro keys beneath space @ the Roccat

That was probably a older model that broke down. A fresh one shouldn't have the problem :)

I have searched in the web and have not found a offical statement from Logitech about that topic. How do you know all of that?

Here; 19 pages of complaints and no comment from Logitech!

Well, some people are getting new keys others don't.... I am not trusting that hole thing and it's hard to ignor that big defect like Logitech is doing...

Ultimately it's you decision of course but I would run the risk for a vastly superior keyboard imo.

19 pages of complaints, and the other hundreds/thousands of customers who are completely fine. Logitech as a brand is pretty good and has been known to have decent customer service. The g710+ is still a better keyboard.
