Logitech - G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

I moved from Logitech, G915x keyboard felt ick and the headsets sucked. I got an ergonomic Chinese Kailh box clicky switch keyboard and a Corsair HS80 RGB headset instead for the price of returning the g915. I need a long wrist rest and an ergonomically curved keyboard like my old g710+. The g915 is a lifeless slab. I want to love Logitech design again but the last few years have fallen bad.

Still.rocking g810 and g710+ and have g pro tkl. Hate thex dont have replacement keycaps for romer g. https://www.reddit.com/r/LogitechG/s/DrgbvTndxx

That's muscle memory and it gets better over time. I know because I used g710+ for years and I now have a g915 x. Also, you can still assign those as the keys to their right so even if you mispress it will still be okay.

I use a Logitech G502 mouse. It's an amazing mouse if you like the shape. The two buttons for the thumb and first finger are really good for muscle memory. I bind interrupt to the button right beside the LMB, it's really fast. DPI shift is useless, I tend to bind stuns to that one. I've never tried an MMO 9-button mouse, looks like too much to me. Fewer, larger buttons are better for muscle memory imo. I use a Logitech G710+ keyboard with the 6 side keys. I use them for buffs, dash, goblin glider (lol). I also bind F1 to interact, since I target myself with either mouse over or alt. Tilde is for the extra action button. Go though all of the keybind options. It's nice to have CTRL+P/L/M/K/N to each tab on the collections menu. CTRL+S to toggle sound effects Also set up your bars so they reflect your peripherals. Put abilities on the right side if they're bound to the mouse. I can post a screenshot if you want an example

I wouldn't recommend replacing the keycaps. The Corsair K68 has a non-standard bottom row (it's not just the spacebar). I had a Logitech G710+, which was a fairly nice keyboard, but it also had a non-standard bottom row. In order to replace the keycaps, I had to blend five different sets to get everything. Now, it doesn't have to be as extreme as that, but you'll have difficulty finding a set that completely fits. Keyboards are weird. In terms of most computer parts, you're generally safer choosing big brands. But with keyboards... no. Big brands like Corsair, Logitech, Steelseries, etc are behind the curve on keyboard development and tend to use cheaper materials and over-charge for them. Cherry MX is a standard type of switch. Almost every switch is a clone of the Cherry MX standard. MX has been around since the mid-80s, so there's no protection for the design any more and anyone can just clone it. Now, you might think the originals will be better than the clones, but they're not. Cherry has stuck pretty rigidly to its manufacturing process and continues making the switches pretty much the same way it always did. The clones have improved on the design. Not all of them, by any means, but sticking to Cherry-manufactured switches isn't the path to the best experience. There's really three main switch types: clicky, tactile and linear. And those correspond to colours. Clicky are blue, tactile are brown and linear are red. There are many other colours, but they're almost always variants of 'the three' with different strengths of switches. Clicky blue switches have a 'bump' when you press them down. It's a physical sensation as you press the key. And it makes a loud 'click' noise when you do so. Brown tactile switches are exactly the same, but don't make the click. And linears, don't have the bump. Before I got my first (modern) mechanical, I heard that red were for gaming, brown were for typing and blue were more of a personal preference. None of that is true - it's all personal preference. The Logitech G710+ came with Cherry brown switches. And I could not feel the 'bump' when I was typing. When I pressed them slowly, I could feel it, but at full speed, it was not detectable to me. Many moons later and I'm using Outemu tactile switches where I can feel the bump. The bump occurs at the point at which the switch activates. You don't need to press all the way down - 'bottom out'. With linears, there is nothing to distinguish when the activation point is, so people tend to bottom out, which is noisier. Something else about the Logitech G710+ is that it is not a hotswap keyboard. To change switches means desoldering. And that's a whole pain, if you're not already into soldering. Hotswap keyboards allow you to change switches. Whilst that may seem a little odd, it can be jolly useful. On my current keyboard, I have a mixture of switches. I tend to hit the spacebar harder than other keys, so it has a stronger switch on it. And I have a habit of accidentally hitting Caps Lock (which I barely ever use) when going for the A key. So I have a much stronger switch on there, which eliminates the problem. Likewise, I have slightly stronger switches on the modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt, etc), because I tend to press them harder. It took time for me to get this balance correct and it would have been a real hassle without a hotswap keyboard. And hotswap will allow you to swap out a dead switch (rare, but it happens) when that happens. Layout also matters. I've mostly got TKL (Ten Key-Less) boards. These are exactly the same as a full-sized keyboard, but lack a numeric keypad. So I have an external numeric keypad. But why separate them? Because I can put the numeric keypad where I like. I keep it on the left. So when I'm entering a lot of data, I can use the mouse and the numpad at the same time. And I have a macropad. That's a separate pad of keys that can be configured to be anything. Very handy for a lot of things. I often have to enter repetitive text for work. And I have three monitors and like to be able to shift applications around easily. There's all sorts of uses for one. Another thing is QMK/VIA. Some keyboards can have their firmware reprogrammed by you. And for a coder, it isn't difficult. You can set up multiple layers, so that you can have multiple keyboard layouts that you switch between, or give keys multiple functions. That can be a lot of fun. I realise that none of this really helps - if anything, it makes the decision even harder.

If it needs g-hub to function stay away, its all good till the day Logitech decides it drops your keyboard out of g-hub support. I have a perfectly fine 710+ under my bed cause of g-hub ….

I know a lot of people shit on Logitech products but I've had my Logitech G710 mechanical keyboard for like 7-8 years now and still working great. The programmable function keys are awesome. I admit the keycaps it came with sucked pretty bad and began cracking/breaking off after maybe a year or so. Not a big deal though since it uses CherryMX keys, a set of decent keycaps will only set you back $20-30 and they'll last forever.

G710 was good. Real Cherry MX switches. I usually just get something cheap and generic now with replaceable switches and common key layout.
