Logitech G Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G announced the new Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, a compact tenkeyless (TKL) design, short-throw mechanical switches, and RGB lighting effects.
The keyboard features Logitech’s exclusive Romer-G mechanical switches, offering 25 percent faster actuation than standard mechanical keyboards, all in a switch design that delivers quiet performance. It also features a detachable cable system, making it easy to transport with customizable RGB lighting and onboard memory.
“eSports athletes are extremely picky and demanding, and we love it,” said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of Logitech G. “We give them access to our prototype designs early and often, and let them rip 'em apart. The result is the Pro Gaming Keyboard with ultra-fast switches, durable construction, and a tenkeyless design that's easy to transport. If you play to win, this is your keyboard.”
"This is a great keyboard because it's small, durable, and tenkeyless. This allows me to have more space on my table,” said C9’s Jake “Stewie2K” Yip. “The Romer-G switches are nice and quiet, and they're super comfortable to type on.”
Romer-G Key Switches
Logitech’s exclusive Romer-G mechanical switches are purpose-built for pro-grade performance, responsiveness and durability offering precision and speed. With a short-throw actuation point of 1.5 mm, Romer-G switches register key presses up to 25 percent faster than standard mechanical switches and are designed for performance.
The Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard features a compact tenkeyless design, making it easy to pack for tournament travel and freeing up table space for low-sensitivity mouse movement. The keyboard is reinforced with a steel back plate, adding stability and rigidity for gameplay.
A detachable Micro-USB connector ensures that the cable won’t break at the connection point when bouncing around in a bag and transported between events. The three-pronged design features support arms for an easy, reliable data connection.
Using optional Logitech Gaming Software (LGS), players can select and personalize each individual key light from more than 16.8 million colors, and save a lighting pattern to onboard memory so it’s available for use in competition. The Logitech G Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is expected to be available at global retailers beginning in March 2017 for a suggested retail price of $129.99.

This. I love my G710+
the only thing i find myself wanting is RGB - i know its meaningless, but i have a full Logitech peripheral setup and the keyboard is the oldest part of it, and therefore does not support RGB
RIP colour scheme!

This is tournament version of G810 that I have. What I don't like about Omron B3K switches is that they have shorter travel distance. Around 0,7-0,8 mm shorter than Cherry MX switches. Some 3,7-3,8 mm to 4,4-4,5 mm. Together with tactile bump it just doesn't feel deep enough as mechanical. If you really want to feel mechanical swich you better go with linear Red or with clicky Blue.
Omron should restore linear and clicky versions.
There is still plenty of stuff to improve in future models.
Model with detachable numpad that can be attached at both side, like ROG Claymore. If you are less than 180 cm and playing with low sensitivity you hitting your keyboard quite often. But still I use numpad very often, so I need it.
Skeleton design would make it look modern.
Metal body.

G710+ has migrated from my home and become my work keyboard. Over the years I've had about 5 keys break on me and the LED on the space bar key now flickers on and off but still going strong after getting some replacement key caps. The keys are and always have been prone to cracking unfortunately due to cheap plastic used.
Fortunately the keys started going before the warranty ran out and Logitech sent me an Orion Spark as a replacement (Logitech did not provide replacement keycaps at this point in time and instead replaced the whole board.. without asking for the original back) the Orion spark was then sold in exchange for a Corsair K70 RGB.
This then failed to deliver the 16 million color transition advertised and corsair replaced it with a K70 Lux a year later.
So in my book top marks for customer service for both Logitech and Corsair. I have to say the Corsair wins out on build quality and looks tho.

My G710+ still looks brand new, just the Wristrest has a little wear.
Not sure how people manage to break PC equipment.

I got mine literally the day they came out directly from Logitech pre-order so perhaps they ironed out issues after the initial batch.
Also pre-ordered a G710+ for my wife and she also has had about 4 keys break on hers.
It's not always "peoples" fault when things break you know.

A few of my key caps broke on my 710+. When the first one broke about a year ago, I contacted Logitech and they sent me the entire keyboard worth of caps. A few of them broke since, about 6 in total but no real issues since I have plenty to replace them with. I'm rocking Q instead of T because T broke twice lol

I don't care for the G- Romer switch. I thought Omron made clicky mouse switches? Why wouldn't Logitech have Omron make clicky switches also to give us options? That's like Corsair going with only reds. Razer/Corsair gave us options. Why wouldn't Logitech do the same thing. It makes no sense.

Give me membrane all day long,
Im not one of those people who require a audio Q to tell me i have just pressed a key.
All it serves to do is irritate the people around me over some strange obsession about making noise.
Hope mechanical fad dies out sooner than latter.
You have no idea what you're talking about.

I think Logitech is trying to become more self reliant.
G102 or G203 sensor is also not from Avago and apparently a joint venture with a new company.
If they succeed, they could very well no longer have to deal with patents, suppliers, ... all that much.

That's probably true, but still, they should offer 2 more switch types. Of course that my Opinion..

I have had my G710+ for about 3 years, the only thing that seems to be showing any sign of wear is the "a" keycap looking a little scraped. Truth be told i have no idea how that happened, but i have 2 cats - my guess is they were playing around my computer desk and probably scratched it up whilst running over it or something similar.
everything else on the keyboard works like new. I have been wondering about the Orion spark and the Romer-G switches, they had mixed reviews at first but now people are really loving them. perhaps it will be my next keyboard.

For anyone who hasn't tried Romer-G switches, I highly recommend them. IMO they're the best all-arounders by straight up winning in every category unless having no tactile feedback is your thing, personally that would annoy me. They're super weird the first time you feel them, but it took me all of 5 minutes to get used to them.
The only real downside is that they're proprietary, including key caps, so you'd have to get them from Logitech. The bright side of that is... they're Logitech, getting a replacement set from them is no problem.
