Logitech G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

[@MrWhinewine]

Who's here after watching the dual stacked monitor setup? Linus is still using this keyboard after all these years!

[@scxrrrL]

Me

[@spxctreofficial]

He’s STILL using it. RIGHT NOW. I respect him for his dedication to this keyboard, but Cherry MX Browns are really just linears with the slightest fraction of a hiccup of tactility .

[@LachanceM]

I'm using this keyboard, loving it but 2 or 3 keys double tap or late register randomly or don't register at all. I plan to repair it but I need some proper tools first. Weird fact, my mouse sometimes does the double click too.... I think i'm cursed.

[@LachanceM]

@Snowie I'm going to try it soon thanks.

[@MrWhinewine]

@@LachanceM Legend! Yep it sounds like a PCB issue

[@shawmcinroy472]

This is still his daily keyboard

+Shaw Mcinroy is it actually? Linus is a boss so if he does I will buy it right away!

[@Shramir]

REALLY great informative and very helpful reviews! No BS info or time wasting filler, really goes over every detail of the product... Plus host is really well spoken (no stuttering, "umms", or awkward pauses), knowledgeable and energetic but not irritating or coming across as trying to have some sort of catchy persona... Anyway haha really great videos. Thank you so much, you have been a huge help in my search for the perfect mechanical board!

[@USBCords]

If you love him so much why don't you MARRY HIM

Its now 2024, I have had my G710+ for 12 years now, all I can say is this keyboard is officially GOAT'ed. I have only had to replace a few commonly used keycaps over the 12 years and clean it out about once per year as part of personal routine maintenance.

[@dustinhurley1658]

i had a shelf break off my wall and fall on this keyboard. nearly 20 keys popped off but none broke. 8/8 would recommend it.

[@seyf1212]

dustin hurley XDDDDDD

[@tyler.r]

Yeah I spilled half a mug of tea into mine and it still works 2 years later and its been holding up over my probably 6 years with it

[@Daniel-ii6rq]

came back to this video because i bought it 5 years ago and still have it. amazing quality and still really good in 2019 compared to alot of other keyboards.

[@musickid1337]

Here at LinusTechTips we like to grade the build quality of keyboards on whether or not you can kill a man with it

[@Trades46]

I brought this 2 years ago as a Christmas gift for myself, and I'm still typing on it as of this comment. Great actuation, reliable and great for daily use. One caveat I have is the backlighting; at full power & off it is fine, but at partial illumination for both WASD & full keyboard it makes my desktop speakers give off an audible & annoying high-pitched whine.

[@leleedler]

Trades46 That's really strange. You know why?

[@Trades46]

Le Leedler I wish I did, otherwise I wouldn't have this issue still 2 years in. A fine keyboard otherwise; I love the multimedia controls & volume switch however.

[@leleedler]

Trades46 Huh, did you plug both into USB 3? Because you only need to plug one into USB 3. I just got a K95 which has two plugs and when I put both into 3 it acts weird.

[@Trades46]

Le Leedler Tried plugging one in & both, same result. Thanks for advice though.

[@leleedler]

Trades46 Sorry, I honestly feel a little bad because, that stuff sucks when it happens. Good luck!

[@devonandersson300]

16th April 2023. Using G710+ I think 11+ years now. Got it very early. Tortured and really used a lot! Disassembled & fully cleaned multiple times. So far 4 Broken keycaps: both Control keys, Numpad minus and a Windows-Key. The plastic on the underside just gets bridle over the years and the little cross holding them on the switch breaks. Used the G3 to G6 macro keys as replacement. Probably should order replacements at some points.

[@gregerfulgerman7802]

i have the blue version and absolutely love it...cant get over these switches

[@FrederikEngelmand]

just bought this on a black friday sale, this is gonna be sweet. first mechanical keyboard

[@FrederikEngelmand]

nice!, *high five. black friday online is great! all of the percentages none of the stress! :D

[@Jayli0]

I'm looking for a keyboard mainly for gaming. 1.Short keyboard to reduce chances of banging mouse on the side during gaming. 2.Flat keys, it feels much better and more in control also usually quiet. 3. Wired

[@noahelliott1178]

Razer Deathstalker would be your best option

[@Jayli0]

Mervtastic Thanks, saw that one wasn't sure though because it don't match the short length requirement.

[@mevlin.m]

+Jayli0 If you are looking for one without any special stuff like USB ports, audio ports... Then I would recommend the Logitech K120 DON'T JUDGE IT BECAUSE IT'S CHEAP!

[@Jayli0]

***** Thanks, but looking for something very similar to Cooler Master CM Storm QuickFire TK Mechanical Keyboard. Except flatter keys that are quiet next to silent.

[@TinTin-td6fq]

+Jayli0 Buy a keyboard with the short ends u needed. if the keys aint flat enough, then buy some new key caps Theres like so many of them and sometimes pretty cheap!! check Ebay or Amazon xD (Sorry 4 My B4D ENGL!SH) Hope i could help just a little!??

[@bigdog95321]

This is still a legendary video to this day!

[@Tehnert]

Anyone who thinks of buying this one, I can give you some main facts about it. I have used the G710+ (QWERTZ layout) for nearly 2 and a half years now and I am going to switch to a MXBlue Ducky Shine 3, so I guess I can give you some good infos. I mainly played games with it during its time on my desk, but I am more of a typer now, so I wanted Blues for that. _Pros:_ + The tactile feeling helps with getting to know, how hard you should press a button. I also think it helps reducing typos + The noise level on this keyboard is not to high, so you won't annoy anyone to fast + The design ist not obnoxious, but still sets accents on your desk for some degree + The glossy coat is very easy to clean, just take a damp towel and clean it up + It's durable, I never had any technical problems with it + The USB passthrough is handy from time to time + The volume roll is nice, but I didn't use it that much personally + The media-, brightness-, windowsbutton locking- and profilebuttons come in handy as well + The Makrobuttons are easy to reach and easy to set up + Switching a profile is just a simple push on one of the profile buttons + The LED-lighting is great, no flaws and you see everything bright and clear. Even in the dark _Cons:_ - The keyscaps do have some wobble to them for some reason - The plastic the keycaps are made out of seems to be a little fragile. My ESC-Button broke, still holds on to the switch perfectly fine though - The wristrest is to short in my opinion - The rubber feet are dustmagnets and lose their grip after some weeks, but cleaning them isn't that big of a deal - The media-, brightness-, windowsbutton locking- and profilebuttons are not mechanical - Getting used to the keyboard takes some time - I think it's a little bit to wide (for me at least, maybe it's just me getting older and liking simple designs now :D ) So overall a very good keyboard. There are quite some negative points, but they on have a small impact on the overall experience with the keyboard. If you are thinking of buying one of these for your first mechanical keyboards ever, go ahead. It's a really good compromise and is a real joy to use.

[@wild_gaming893]

Love mine I've had it for a while now and its great!

[@0s0sXD]

Wild_Gaming What kind of Switch do you have? And if it's blue( please be blue xD) is it too loud? do your friends on Skype get annoyed from it? Does your mother get annoyed from it? Does it feel good? Do you think it's worth the money? btw if the logitech keyboard costs 100 bucks over there it costs 250 over here so tell me if it's worth I really hope you reply :D Thanks for reading my long comment

[@wild_gaming893]

ANKLESPANKIN WANABE Sorry, I went on a trip and didn't really look at any notifications so I didn't see your reply.... I have brown switches, my sister finds them loud but I do not... They feel great! I do think it's worth the money I spilled choclate milk on it by accident and a day later it started working again!

[@0s0sXD]

I went to a friends house and holy keyborads they are fun ;D I decided to buy a Logitech G710+ since the CM Storm QuickFire Ultimate is out of stock basically everywhere my friend had the CM Storm and my god just looking at it is phenomenal. Thanks for replying m8!

[@0s0sXD]

Wild_Gaming Only blue's and brown's are available, if you want the blues get the G710 if you want the browns get the G710+ they are the exact same keyboard with different key switchs

As someone who STILL uses this keyboard about 5 years after purchase, it holds up incredibly well. Although the keys do seem to pop out very easily.

It’s insane how much this has appreciated in the last while. New it costs $170-200 all in.

[@maxthememer1780]

yeah you should be able to get it for cheap second hand though I got mine for 20 usd

[@Vim_Tim]

Linus - you've been using this keyboard personally for a long time. It's appeared at your personal workstation at the LinusTechTips office multiple times and appeared recently in the 2 rigs, 1 tower video. I have a few questions: 1. Why has this been your keyboard of choice for so long? I'm sure it hasn't been the only mechanical keyboard gifted to the LinusTechTips office in the past few years. 2. Have you noticed any durability issues with the keycaps? 3. O-rings or no O-rings?

[@GaminGusTav]

Do you mean if Linus uses O-rings or if O-rings are included?

[@b009z]

+chrisDE Noob without googling because I'm lazy :) Does it come with O-Rings?

[@GaminGusTav]

ethan luke it does

[@Vim_Tim]

I was asking whether Linus personally uses the O-rings that come pre-installed with this keyboard. I actually removed mine because I prefer the tactility of no O-rings, but I was simply curious about Linus's preferences.

[@TerminatorZXY]

+Tim W I've had this keyboard myself and I've been using it for 2 years. It's perfect, I don't feel like changing it at all.

[@depresskam]

i hate my current razer anansi and i was going to upgrade to membare keyboard because only mechanical keyboards available here are razer blackwidow and g710+ i was going with G510s because i hear a little bad about g710+ and it doesn't have the cool monitor ! but now, i think this is awesome :O im really stuck ! dont know what to go with !!!

[@mitch9251]

i have razor anansi and it's aids i agree im most likely going to upgrade to g710+ :)))

[@depresskam]

mitch9251 I got g510 its awesome, in wow now will tell you about it after xD

[@mitch9251]

oke :)

[@depresskam]

mitch9251 keys are so softer this keyboard is awesome , it has awesome coating with awesome feeling , plan rest was a little wired for me at first but now its awesome !! LCD is so cool ! Keys on left need a little to get used to but after 2 days I'm almost OK with them ;) m keys were hard at first but got soft after few presses ! The keyboard feel s awesome ! The keys are so soft and awesome , I tell you , as you havn't tried a mecha yet , get a g510 ( try before buy :P ) it's so much better than anansi, if you touch g710+ you will fall in love with it ( I'm guessing ) so don't touch it while g510 seems awesome to you xD and pay less , I can't explain this keyboard , the thing I'm worried about is the skin going bad like my old anansi, BTW the keys require a little more force , but goes down smoothly ! No problem with it , I also type faster and with less typos ! ( I typed this with phone :P) try g510s or old one before you buy g710+ :P its awesome !!! Backlight is so much brighter than anansi BTW , visable in day but no direct sun light , software is also awesome ! Looks awesome too! Feels solid and good quality and like a metal tank !!! Volume wheel feels so cool xD I Also installed sirlcdreal ! Its cool but not really very useful (still useful :P but not much)  Also it doesn't get wet and dirty easily , my anansi was a magnet ! The wrist pad is so hard to remove after installing ! I worried I might break keyboard while removing it ! But I rather have it on ! for first days I sometimes pressed wrong keys or g6 instead of escape but also I got used to cool new layout in less than a day xD

[@mitch9251]

well thanks alot! :)

[@KosmoMadrid]

g710+ is so awesome

[@Madrock7777]

I still use this keyboard. I've been using it for 8 years. How is this keyboard so sturdy?

[@Grumpy_Wolf]

I was looking at getting this keyboard but wanted to see a review of it, have been watching Linus tech tips for a couple years and found this video, holy crap! His channel has changed so much in 5 years!

[@tootbyi]

So by the way you described it, Cherry MX Brown switches are just quiet blue switches? I want blue switches, but if that is what browns are, same as blues but quiet, then I want those!

[@DanteKishishev]

Yeah, more or less. watch the techquickie keyswitch vid if in doubt /watch?v=PXCKHoiNu1o

[@Sammich88]

It feels very different. I didn't think it would feel that different but the "clicks" makes all the difference in the world. It's kinda like the difference between a speaker that you can press the button and it can click on and off compared to the on and off button on your computer.

[@jessekim4517]

i enjoy reds :D

[@tyfoo]

Browns are a much softer key to press, as well as being quieter. It requires much less force to hit that actuation point for a brown switch compared to a blue one.

[@antipro8]

lol I like how you measure build quality in the possibility if killing a man with it.

[@TarzanGTI]

Just bought one for $60 Black Friday Deal as well as a Samsung U28E590D 28inch 4k 1ms free sync monitor for $250

[@leleedler]

Ranshika Fernando Nice job m8! I wish I could get deals like that here in Sweden. We don't do black Friday as hard as I did back in the US.

[@ArizonianOCN]

I have this keyboard and it's a tank using CherryMX Brown keys with O-rings for extra dampening. Logitech was late with this introduction but well worth it being done right. Great job and if you don't like the orange strip it's easily modifiable to black or gray if you can do a simple modification.

[@Wayne_R]

best reviews ever keep it up man have looked at a lot of you reviews be for purchases love it

[@FeralFlare]

There's some sort of magic in this keyboard that so many people love it. Almost 8 years later in AMD's superwoman Lisa Su's short documentary: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onm3ZoCIoN5siaM, she is also using G710+

[@zyph8032]

Hello

[@Ikhsanratdith]

is this keyboard quite durable? because i think there are some reports regarding on broken keycaps

[@shox2411]

As long as you aren't mistreating it, lol. I've currently owned and used my G710+ for about 2 years now. Nothing wrong :D. I try not to eat or anything while on my PC but I sometimes do. I have cleaned it only once and it looks new. I would definitely suggest this or a Ducky Shine 3 if you want more switch options but same quality.

[@shox2411]

Oh, and if you want Blue switches, there is a Logitech G710 (no +) which is basically the same except for the switch. Enjoy whatever board you get! :)

[@Ikhsanratdith]

Shox Lightning well unfortunately,here in Indonesia...the only existing Logitech G mechanical keyboards is G710+ and G310 i already have G302 and G230 but i doubt that the existing Logitech G mechanical keyboards are bad (G310 often makes your finger to collided with other button keycaps,while G710+ quality is questionable) right now,i'm confused whether to decided to completed my Logitech Lineup or look for corsair keyboards

[@chasetryon3870]

+Ikhsan Ratdityo I've owned the G710+ since its release and have not treated it particularly well, and I have had zero problems with it. Tough as nails and the software behind it is quite robust as well.

[@3greenmonster4]

+Ikhsan Ratdityo I own this keyboard for over two years now, and i have indeed encountered that problem. But Logitech's customer support is excellent, they sent me a complete set of keycaps no questions asked.

[@calvinchao05]

Mechanical keyboards have switches which are completely different from the typical Membrane keyboard. The German company Cherry makes the switches in a whole bunch of different types. The four most common are Cherry MX Blue, Brown, Red, and Black. Blues are clicky and tactile feel, Browns are tactile feel no clicky, Red are linear (no tactile feel) and quiet, Blacks are like Reds only they take a bit more force to actuate. Linus has a video on this as well.

[@cordawg17]

Thanks for the review, i just bought this keyboard as my other board just went out. Its my first "gaming"/ "mechanical" keyboard and i love the feel of it!

[@Teh1AnnOwnLeeByukk]

Four minor problems I have with this keyboard. Other than that, I think it's a lot better than the K70, and the 6GV2 (Both that I own) IMO. First problem is the volume wheel. It feels cheap, and gives some resistance at random times. The rest of the three are just something I wish came with the keyboard, so it has nothing to do with the quality of the keyboard (which is fantastic btw). One would be a braided cord, most mechanical keyboards pretty much have that as a standard. Second one would be a removable cord, it's just a personal dislike, having that cord stick out when you put it inside your bag is a bit annoying. My last wish would be a key removal tool for easier cleaning. Just like the other suggestions, they're minor things that would greatly improve the look of Logitech (The small things really improve the product, makes the customer feel they're getting more than they paid for).

[@ThunderZephyr_]

if only it was multicolored back-light ..... *_*

[@Agent181]

You can make it that way with led changer caps

[@ThunderZephyr_]

Agent181 yeah but that would require me to open the keyboard and screwing around and possibly damaging it (or remove the key caps same thing)

[@its_Baconator]

Thunder Zephyr You could probably pay someone a small amount to do it for you. Not sure if you would want to do something like that, though.

[@ThunderZephyr_]

B BG -_-

[@FreakingKilla]

B BG i agree with you, i don´t even feel the use to it, at first i wa slike, oh yea good for seeing keys in the dark, but i´m actually very used to a keyboard and know where every key is from just feeling it, i had a xmas tree keyboard once, after a month i turned off the lights, forever, now i have old mechanical keyboard with no lights and i dont feel depressed in any way, now im looking for a highend keyboard, and everysingle one has lights, and all the video reviews have to comment about them as if it was a great feature, it´s just my 2 cents maybe im in the minority, but why use more electricity than we should when we dont look at keyboard at all while playing im sure ^^

[@emkplayboy6]

That keyboard looks huge! I bet it takes up a lot of desk space. I prefer the Razer Ornata Chroma.

[@gentensworld]

I have a very tiny desk and it's not that bad honestly. the wrist pad detaches and makes this thing about 40% smaller

[@leleedler]

emkplayboy6 It honestly isn't that huge, I have a K95 and that is huge.

[@PandaTheMine]

I've been using using this for a little over a month now and it's an amazing product! Great quality and I'd recommend it to anybody looking for a new keyboard.

[@RazeAndJadith]

Logitech has probably the best customer support I have encountered in a decade. My father's MX revo mouse started having problems. So, I called Logitech for him and within 10 mins they were sending him a new MX Revo mouse! I didn't even have his receipt but they just had me look up the serial and were fine with just that info! They weren't looking for a way out of honoring their warranty. Yesterday my G700 left click died, I called them and the same story with my call too! Thumbs up Logitech!

[@highwayblowout]

You never mentioned how bad the logitech gaming software is!!!

[@highwayblowout]

Andrei Mateescu It's awful for my GS930 headset, i'm forced to go back 5-7 updates for a more reliable and stable version. But the most recent one renders my headset useless.

[@Chompski_]

Andrei Mateescu i agreed with highwayblowout about how bad the software is. i bought g502 mouse, and the setting is just really hard to figure out. until now i cant make a profile, there's a button to create profile, then a window popped up and you need to fill the name of the profile but i cant click the damn button to make the profile. also generally it's really hard to set the buttons. although the mouse itself is quite good (i guess) i like the scroll can be unlocked making it so easy to scroll.

[@highwayblowout]

Andrei Mateescu Don't worry, i found many others who had exact problem as i, on their tech support forum. Not to mention the gs930 is a plug and go headset, the installation is pretty much straight forward and simple. I'm not worried that i did something wrong since their mods on their forum even mentioned its a well known problem with the software.

[@highwayblowout]

Andrei Mateescu Also i'm comparing it with Razor & Steelseries, The steelseries works perfect for my Ikari & Siberia v3. Also the Razor works perfect for my Abyssus and Arctosa

[@Chompski_]

it's really hard to change settings in g502 software, it was manage able but it's not a good user experience.

[@marduke83]

Hi mate, just got my g710 and can verify that the media keys do work in game. Loving this keyboard so far.

[@drtaru]

I'm surprised you didnt notice and or mention the rubber dampers under every key, they are preinstalled and easy to miss, but that is why the blacks are so quiet on this keyboard.

[@Thalanox]

I got one of these a number of hears ago, and it's still working perfectly fine. The macro keys are my standard shortcuts for browsing web pages, opening, closing, and swapping between tabs. I also used the software to make different macros for other programs, like text editors. It's surprisingly handy for that. Aside from the macro keys, the hardware volume roller has got to be my favourite feature on it. It saves a ton of hassle. I don't know why, but I haven't gotten a lot of use out of the media keys.

[@SpencerGreenDotNet]

I daily drove a G710 with Cherry MX Blues up until very recently. Originally got mine on Black Friday 2015, when the Amazon price was randomly dipping down to $50 for a few minutes at a time. It was probably an error on their end, but I was certainly happy to score such a deal!

[@RebirthBeyond]

I have had this keyboard for about 4 months now and it was my first mechanical keyboard. There is a world of difference when using this over my last membrane keyboard. I personally love the dedicated media keys and hate when other manufacturers just mix it up with the F keys. I chose Logitech because I have been using them for years (G5, MX518, various keyboards and webcams). Hopefully this helps someone out.

Thanks, I got g710+ and have no problems with lights. I read and it may be true that old series had problem (on box was written g series) and new ones are fixed (on box is written only G). Anyway I keep lights off all the time since I don't need it. But want to add that g710+ and g510s (as I could notice fast while testing over the plastic cover) have similar key resistence but g710+ is smoother so I got that and price difference is like 30 euros.

I own a blackwidow! I can tell you that I returned my blackwidow for this same 710. The build quality is so much better in the 710, and the keys are not loud at all. In the 710 the keys are very smooth to press, not requiring near as much force as the blackwidow. Hope this helps.

I have this keyboard and I must say that I love it. Under each of the keys is a little rubber ring which is used to help dampen the noise so if you want a bit more of a click you can take all the rings out but it will take you about an hour to do it to every key. The software that it comes with is amazing. You can easily program the keys by clicking on them in the picture of the keyboard the software has. I have one of my keys configured to hit like 8 different buttons with like a 50ms delay between the presses so my game doesn't think im hitting them all at the same time. The orange accent isn't for everyone but I think it makes it look cool.

I watched this after the studio tour. Wow. that keyboard is timeless

[@leogardemeister1609]

Bought this in 2015 and its still working 100% I must say its definetly the best peripheral i've ever bought

[@kahvituttaa545]

me having this keyboard 8years and coming to watch unboxing :D been hard use and still works like a new!

[@bamazudi]

If you want to get "technical." Black are the best for gaming. Blues are for typing. Brown is a mid-range between typing and gaming. Reds are like blacks but offer less resistance and therefore not as used as much as black because people such as myself like to feel resistance when typing or gaming. I want to feel the keystroke when I am clacking away on my keyboard. There are some more kinds of switches I believe but these are the most common used in mechanical keyboards.

[@oneildevo]

i have this keyboard, there are small noise cancelling O rings under the keys you can remove for that satisfying sound.

[@HalloGais]

Still have this keyboard and its running strong!

[@lorddoa]

If you are referring to the G710+, I own one and can tell you that the macro keys are mechanical as I have checked them myself. Also whether to buy own over the other... they are both roughly the same price, so it's really preference of red or brown switch. Btw I am really enjoying my G710+ and have no complaints about it.

[@NEDinACTION]

He's still using this keyboard 6 years later. I've been using this keyboard for around 4 years now and it's outstanding, it's built like a freakin tank.

[@S0oo]

I'm still using mine aswell but the keys are vulnerable to slanting force. My ESC key broke those Cross Pipes are sensitive sometimes. Now i changed F12 with ESC, looks weird but works.

[@DonRolf94]

I'd rock the G710+, because both the K90 and the BW use switches without tactile feedback, which hurts typing. Also, using one set of software can help you immensely.

[@knexfan0011]

They do, I tried them at a store and when I took off the Esc key the keycap had a little black rubber ring around the middle, I assume that is the o-ring you are talking about. But browns are still a lot more quiet than blues, no matter if they have o-rings or not ;)

[@gunit2004]

Just bought this keyboard today and immediately returned the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate I bought a week ago. The Logitech is 10x better IMO. Not overly loud and the keys feel awesome to type on and they are super responsive. Nice backlighting and DEDICATED MEDIA KEYS... something that is apparently VERY rare on mechanical keyboards. Absolutely love this keyboard right now... it is a pleasure to type on.

[@AMM-MMA]

Got g710+ I am pleased for now, will see later how is going. It's more comfortable for typing than black switches.

[@MasterMoose04]

2019 it’s running like a champ

[@louisczar6483]

Still using this keyboard to this day! Held up great, might upgrade soon, but I still love this keyboard to death!

[@helichrome2509]

Went for the k90 a few months ago and love it. The only thing I would've liked to be included on it is the cable routing for the headset. I use a vengeance 1500 headset plugged into the usb passthrough on the keyboard and the cable is always getting in the way, so it would've been nice if they included that on it.

[@colejackson6396]

The way the keys work remind me of a clutch in a car, where you get nothing, then there's the bite point.

[@Jayandthegames]

2021 still in uses - This Epic Studio Tour Almost Killed Me!! 26:08

[@xvi1921]

Omg haha, i've been watching LTT for a long time, but I've never seen this intro before. It's so great, haha.

[@Otaku3009]

Ive had this keyboard for 6 or so years now, it was my first ever mechanical keyboard and I got it to upgrade from one of those terrible Dell L100 membrane keyboards you see everywhere, at least here in canada. Anyways I have been so happy with this keyboard and am impressed that it still works and looks just as nice as when I got it. I have had other mechanical keyboards since then and do have them set up on other machines in my house, but the g710+ has always returned to my desk as my primary keyboard.

[@toothpik00]

I owned a K90 and now own a K70 (needed the space), blue lights with Cherry Reds (couldn't wait for the browns to come out) and I love it. But I have to say I do like the look of the Logitec offering. I prefer the backplate and the practicality of the recess of said plate on the Corsair, but the Logitech has a nice scifi look to it.

[@Toptengamer]

I know this is old but I love the pack and play and the the computer in the foreground. I can relate to that sooooo much.

[@3USRNAM3]

this keyboard is awesome. Ive had it for 6 months with no issues at all. Dont believe the bad reviews! Its really really good!

[@riskygames8627]

I just bought the g105 today and I am already in love! I used to use a crappy keyboard that came with my pc but this keyboard is acually good

[@BigGuyJr]

im here ten years later and i can still barly aford this thing

[@Siper2]

Another great one, Linus. I own a Das Keyboard Pro S with the Blues, an older version with Fn keys. It's awesome for typing, but with no backlighting, difficult for gaming. Das intends their 'boards for typists only, which is fine, but I do game a little, and don't always want a desk light on. So, I may consider a G710 and use the Das for something else. Thanks again! The K90 was atop my list, but the Browns are appealing for all the reasons you covered. The mechanical market is growing..

[@svulfarnn]

I had all three and the g710+ is my favorite so far!

[@BrakkoJanus]

Bought it three days ago from the Logitech website (I had a 10% discount due to registration of my G9X), and it arrived today with free UPS shipping. This thing is HEAVY! I already love it, white backlight looks very sharp.

[@FartingRainbowCow]

I personally think that blues are for typing rather than gaming. The Blackwidow does look nicer but for more features go with the Logitech. But overall it's down to personal preference on the switches. Hope this helped! :)

[@Atomicjango]

I also have the g110 and id say that if ur worried about sound this is the quietest mechanical keyboard u can get. im also looking to switch. Sadly i cant afford it but if i could id do it in a heartbeat.

[@marduke83]

Just noticed Linus you said the g710 doesn't have a metal backplate, from images I've seen of it stripped down it does actually have a metal backplate.

[@GirlGamerDax]

What keyboard should I get? I am mainly a fps gamer. I don't play mmorpg games I only play LoL though. Good typing is very important. I don't need many g keys. I already got a logitech g13 and a g9x so I already got a little setup with Logitech gaming stuff. I can't choose between the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate, the Corsair k90 or the logitech g710+.

[@TheVanillatech]

Great review. I'm fast becoming a fan of your videos. Also, this one is so applicable because I am about to drop an obscene amount of money into a keyboard and my two choices were the K90/K70 or the G710. I'm STILL torn..... :D

[@HOSTILEWORKPLACE]

Same, I love the feedback and the sound, I don't get why people get so annoyed at the noise.

[@kennethlarsson1499]

Yes, if you want to. You can plug anything in as long as it is a USB 2.0 connection. If it's your mouse or flash drive, iphone or whatever it doesnt mather. I have had USB ports on my keyboard for the last 5 years and I can probably count on one hand how many times I found it usefull. It works great but nothing I would ever ask them to put there if it ment they could cut the price down instead.
