Logitech's Romer-G vs CherryMX

[FelixW]

For an incredibly long time, Logitech has been selling some pretty decent mechanical keyboards, including those with CherryMX switches. Now, though, it appears Logitech has a new mechanical switch known as Romer-G. Do these keyboards with Romer-G switches perform any better than their CherryMX counterparts? Are Romer-G keyboards worth buying at all?

In my opinion, they're not that bad, but Cherry MX is certainly better. Another problem is that Logitech keycaps suck.

Best thing I can recommend is to go and try them both out. I would grab the usual "lorem ipsum" and "Lazy whatever" and type on the keyboards to see which one feels better to you. I love my Orion Spectrum and G710 Blue equally. But wife took the Spectum for the purple backlight (or is it pink?).

Please trust me, when i tell you that **Romer-G switches are a meme**

 

Interesting design but Cherry MX is still far more favorable.

From what I learned from reviews, Romer-G is similar feeling to a rubber dome. Hardish initial press, then collapses. CherryMX is..... well CherryMX... Every Mechanical keyboard basically. Performance between switches is preference. Lifetime keypresses are rated and should be easy to tell the difference. The Logitech Keycaps they have since changed, They offer a replacement cap set for the old (inital run) keyboards, and the newer ones have standard key caps.

 

EDIT: By newer ones I mean the second released keyboard, the original release still have the bad caps

I would get Cherry MX cause I hate the feel of Romer-G, they feel like a small upgrade from membrane.
