Logitech - G910

I don't really buy cheap keyboards or monitors. I just don't mind spending money on things that I use a lot. I like the logitech g910 a lot because it has gkeys to the left. I use them a lot for camera positions in sc2. For other keyboards I really like the das keyboard 6 professional for travel. Similar to the g910, It let's me bind the analog wheel to basically anything and setup macros for mmo's like FFXIV, but instead of through the mkeys it does it through software.. Also, it let's me quickly adjust the volume during conference calls similar to the g910, but it's quite a bit smaller and made out of aluminum which is just lighter and stronger than the plastic of the logitech. I doubt there's really too much of a real difference though.

Need something new. Been gaming on the Logitech Orion G910 for the last nine years but the space bar is now broken. Considering my searching on this sub liking that keyboard seems like sacrilege, I'm hoping to find a good replacement. I'm not against buying a kit of some kind to assemble myself but also too I'd rather do my due diligence for finding a good one. Reasons I liked the G910: 1. I genuinely liked the tactile feel of the keys. Like the bump it had felt like I was actually pressing a button as opposed to a linear key where there's no feedback until its fully compressed. From what I can tell it seems like Glorious Mako's or MX browns are the closest to the roamer G's? But I'm not sure what else I can find. 2. I like having a 100% keyboard. I don't use the keypad every day but when I do use it I like having it. 3. The palm rest on it was nice. I'm not against having a separate one but it was nice to have. 4. Edited in: A metal case would be nice but not required. 5. I'm not going to be an enthusiast here. I play a variety of games but I'm not looking to be heavy into the weeds of building my own legion of keyboards because I enjoy the hobby. Just want something that works well. I just want a keyboard that will be durable, functionally good, preferably not have crap software, and ideally last as long if not longer than the G910 I'm now having to replace. Advice will be greatly appreciated.

I swear by my Logitech G910. It’s been working for me for years. I use Logitech’s old software on it because their new software keeps breaking and they won’t fix it. This one is tactile, but not clicky, includes macro keys, and has neat little phone stand :3 https://preview.redd.it/p1j9ixffu3te1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23a52a7e8e140d7329a3c73fc2b6a6f6dee24006

Some things to know about Logitech’s software issues first… Their old software: can’t do macros that include mouse buttons. (The option’s there but it doesn’t work). It also doesn’t accept newer Logitech devices. Their new software: After a while, it will lose the ability to profile switch which can only be rectified by resetting all of your profile/app data for it. Requiring you to re-do all of your profile work. This has been an issue for nearly a decade and they won’t be fixing it, it seems.

I’d avoid Razer products. They’re pretty but they’re software is so bloated and slow it should be classified as malware and in my house we have a 100% failure rate within the first 1-2 years, and we’ve bought a lot of products from them. I like my old logitech G910, but Logitech refuses to fix their software and it’s been nearly a decade since it’s had horrible issues with breaking and needing you to reset all data. I use their more functional old software, but that’s a luxury not afforded to users of their newer products. At this point I might just recommend a brand that doesn’t come with awful software, because it seems like these big companies all push horrible bloated and non-functional software nowadays.

I used to have this one. Great keyboard!

My Logitech G910 is double typing on 3 different keys now. I am needing to replace it in the next month. I love how the keys feel but wouldn't mind my replacement to be a bit quieter. Looking for something under $100 (cheaper the better but I respect quality ofc) Should I get another G910 or do you have any suggestions? Thank you!!

Going from G910 to 80HE. Went from a proprietary tactile to linear HE switches. I’d say I feel a little bit more responsiveness since I can pull the actuation up to 0.1 mm. But that doesn’t mean I’m now a pro player don’t get me wrong. I’m just happy that I don’t have the issue of double pressing and having to constantly open and remove 36 screws to get to the board and solder in replacement switches. I only see the switch to Wooting as a convenience upgrade rather than a skill boost upgrade. Buying it because I want to “get gud” was NEVER the intention. I just want a reliable keyboard <$300 that is SUPER modular in case that rare chance I need to replace a part. The times I had to take apart and put together the G910 is something I don’t ever want to do again. Do I miss the programmable buttons, numpad, built in phone stand, volume wheel, and rgb only lighting up just the characters and not the under low as well? - Yes, I do. But the loss features I miss don’t compare to the longevity that I’ll be getting with the 80HE. Wooting is planning on a volume wheel keycap and I’m using a 16 key macropad so I’m covered by those replacement.

Find a G910 Orion. I've had one for eight years and it is my favorite.

I've had a G502 Hero and a G910 keyboard since 2018 and they're awesome.

I used a Logitech G910 for 10 years - a good keyboard, but with buggy software. And since magnetic keys are better for gaming, I switched to **Wooting**. It doesn't require software (the settings are stored on the keyboard), but you can't set up macros. If you really need to, you can always use AHK, which is more stable than any software from peripheral.

UPDATE: I went with Cherry MX browns. I know I like those the best out of everything I've tried. Hey all. I’m a big fan of Cherry MX switches, and I am thinking of getting a new keyboard. My first mechanical keyboard, a Logitech G610 Orion, had Cherry MX Browns, which I first used at home for gaming and then later took to work. I loved that keyboard as it wasn’t THAT loud but the tactile feel of the keys felt solid. When Covid hit and I worked from home, I bought myself a Logitech Orion Spectrum G910… and I promptly returned it as it was needlessly huge and I did not care for the aesthetics or the switches. Then I got a Logitech G815 with GL clicky switches. I loved the soft click but did not like the low profile keys and eventually they also developed bad wobble, so it too had to go. After that I went a completely different direction and got a Corsair K70 RGB TKL Champion Series with the Cherry MX Speed switches. I’ve liked Corsair keyboards ever since. This keyboard was AWESOME to game on, but I found it very difficult to type accurately on. I got a new 100% work from home job back at the end of 2023 and so I got a Corsair K95 Platinum XT with Cherry MX blue switches (this is my current keyboard). I love the build quality and feel of this keyboard. It is simply awesome for working, but after having it some time, I’m finding myself pretty overstimulated by the noise when gaming on it. It’s a shame because it really is the best keyboard I’ve ever had and will last a long time and the key press to me feel so solid and true. Now I am at a point where I am thinking of replacing it for something quieter (and my wife would probably be a lot happier too). I am considering the Corsair K70 Pro RGB with either Cherry MX browns or reds. I know I liked the browns for work and gaming, but also know that I loved the linear MX speeds for gaming but found them too sensitive for work. I’m not the best typist and do tend to type heavy and bottom out my keys. Should I stick to what I know and get browns to give me that tactile resistance I like for work? Or take a chance and go with reds? Are the reds like the MX speeds in that I will find them too sensitive for work? I will add that the entire time I went through different keyboards at home, my original Logitech G610 with browns continued to serve me well for years at work until I moved jobs.

I used to only buy Logitech, but the G910 was a major disappointment. After a few years, it started double typing and nothing ever prevented it. I replaced it with a Steelseries Apex 3, which costs a third and still performs excellently. We‘ll see how it holds up, but even if it only makes it to 3 years, it‘ll be cheaper than the Logicrap. „But the Apex 3 is not mechanical“, you will say. So? I notice no difference. Except that it‘s quiet. Really, really quiet.
