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.
Linear switches.

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.
