When it comes to gaming keyboards, it's all about figuring out what gives you that extra edge. For some that means wrist rests, USB ports, smartphone or tablet docks, or an array of macro keys. But what if you want to game without all the fuss? That's where the Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum RGB mechanical keyboard ($159.99) comes into play. With a sleek, no-frills design, the G810 is aimed at those who favor a minimalist, yet personalized gaming experience. It shares a number of features with the Editors' Choice Corsair K95 RGB ( at Amazon) , including media controls and customizable backlighting options, but the K95's abundance of user-friendly options give it the edge for serious gamers.

RGB keys are awesome Profile for the Division is great and finally makes the keyboard feel like a part of the game NOT loud and "clicky sounding" compared to other keyboards Solid; heavy.

Tall keyboard, gamers may want a gel wrist rest to go with it for long sit Logitech support for arx control could be so much better then it is Lack of profiles for the RGB capabilities; So far the division is it, though you can make your own

Fantastic mechanical keyboard. Not just for gaming but for general typing as well. Looks quite stylish for a gaming keyboard and doesn't look out of place like the pretty much every other one. Just note its a tad narrow than a full size board but doesn't take long to get used to.

Logitech's mechanical flagship, the G910 Orion Spark, featured a somewhat eccentric design. For those who prefer a clean design, the G810 is a great alternative. You will miss dedicated macro keys and the faceted keycaps, but in return you will get a much more sleek design and a handy volume wheel.

Logitech Gaming Keyboards. If you're of a certain age then you've probably owned a Logitech keyboard at some point. There was a point in time where, like the Intellimouse Explorer, a Logitech keyboard was just the thing to have, particularly when your only other option was some IBM number out of the...
