I love it

I brought this keyboard for the back-lit keys. Cons: 1. The key back lighting has a really bad flicker to it, making it hard to look at the keyboard. 2. The key sounds are not a s nice as other mechanical keyboards. 3. The key back-lighting programming is not flexible enough. e.g.

love the profiles of this keyboard it is built very well and has helped me game a lot better and type so much faster with no mistakes. software could be abit better but it does have its updates. RGB options are great also. no complaints.

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?

Customizable lighting and media controls, with programmable function keys; Comes with 300 preloaded game lighting profiles; Proprietary key switches and 26-key rollover enhance game performance; Software offers stat tracking

Lack of dedicated macro keys and wrist rest may irk serious gamers; Switches sensitive for regular typing; Software tools can be confusing; Too pricey for casual gamers

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. Design and FeaturesStripped-down and utilitarian, the Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum ($389.95 at Amazon) puts its focus firmly on function—no wrist rests, macro keys, or snazzy asymmetrical designs here. If you turn off the backlighting, the G810 passes for a standard keyboard at first glance. Mea...

Logitech's G810 Orion Spectrum is a low-key, high-quality, customizable gaming keyboard that's better suited to occasional players than serious gamers.

Customizable lighting and media controls, with programmable function keys; Comes with 300 preloaded game lighting profiles; Proprietary key switches and 26-key rollover enhance game performance; Software offers stat tracking

The pricey Logitech G810 lets its Romer-G switches shine, while adopting utilitarian style and omitting Logitech's G-key macros.

Damn good Keyboard, bit pricey, try for a sale

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

This is the best ever keyboard I've bought - I've had expensive Razor thing which was appalling in quality, and function, and I've had second-hand office keyboards. This is great and the layout is very UK traditional, which is surprisingly hard to find these days.

The trouble with gaming keyboards is that they use some of the highest-quality parts in the business, but cram them into a product that would look absurd in anything but a teenager's gaming nook.

Elegant design; Great performance; Comfortable keys; Gorgeous backlighting

Some software oddities; Not the fastest for typing

The G810 Orion Spectrum boasts fine media controls, slick lighting, and superb software. Only its lack of a few features we'd expect at its price point keep it from a top recommendation.

Lighting effects can be synced with those of a compatible Logitech mouse; Excellent media controls; Superb lighting

No dedicated macro keys; USB pass-through; or palm rest; Different switch-type options would be appreciated
