Hey Hilbert, could you do a review on the Logitech g710+ too? I want to buy a new keyboard and i'm kinda stuck between these two. Would be nice to have a comparison.

Another overpriced brick for people who haven't discovered better looking and silent Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 which is 2 times cheaper, doesn't need batteries and is good for gaming (supports up to 6 keys pressed down simultaneously)?

blues were too loud for me so I am thinking about either MX reds or browns. I don't know yet. I don't want noise when I bottom out the keys so I am thinking about the logitech g710+.

If you dont like it, this is your right, but in reality you dont need to apply any force on mechanical keyboard.. you have nearly the feeling the key type for you. ( this is how work the mechanism, a pressure set at 45grammes for example you have just to caress the key and they work on their own . ) ..
When you say primitive you need understand mechanical switch are a lot more complex of a rubber dome ( basically you have just a rubber plate on all the keyboard with some dome under the keys )
Each keyswitch is a separate mechanism, who use their specific system, when a rubber switch based keyboard have just a rubber plate whith different density who bring the feeling to need a "pressure" .
Hence the difference of price too .
Blue Cherry MX key switch ( good for see why they are producing more noise of brown/ black or red Cherry MX switch )

Just ordered one for delivery tomorrow, i have keyboard on lap mostly so i'm needing a nice palm rest -at least better than current x4 keyboard.
I actually thought my microsoft x4 WAS a mechanical keyboard till someone pointed the fact out to the contrary.
Anyways i didn't do much research, just looked around amazon really, it seems to ooze quality anyways and it'll be my first mechanical one, wish me luck folks! and thanks Hilbert for heads up!
*It's £100 on amazon.:)

good looking and pretty solidly built. like the blue back lighting and it's pretty comfy so far. feels smooth and although i haven't tried out the keyboard usb3.0 a lot of others say that it works well. so far it's a 5/5 for me.
