First Mechanical Keyboard

[giddo244]

Hi all, I'm looking to get my first mechanical keyboard for both typing and gaming. I have taken an interest to the Corsair K70 RGB and the Logitech G710+, leaning to the G710+ as I don't need the RBG of the K70 but can't stand the backlight of the standard K70. I live in Australia if you need to know. Thanks.

what do you mean can't stand?

 

you dont like the color or just Backlight in general

You know you can adjust the brightness level of the backlight and even turn it completely off, right?

I prefer the k70 due to its volume wheel placement. I tried the g710+ and my finger would get hit by the numpad keycap when I rub the wheel. On the flip side, if you need those dedicated macro keys you could also go with the g710+. LEDs should be the least of your concerns as you'll rarely see them anyway.

Alrighty then since I can turn the LEDs on the non-RGB K70 off, are there any other differences, otherwise totally I'm getting that.

I own the g710+ and I wont upgrade to anything soon. The software might be heavy, but holy shit it's got everything. Auto Game detection is awesome.

 

I haven't seen a regular k70 though, so can't help with the comparison. Anyway you can't really go wrong with either
