Logitech G710+ Mechanical gaming keyboard (Quiet and Backlit) $99.99 @ Bestbuy.com w/Free Shipping!

Quote from ahan421 : Are you just pulling these figures out of thin air?? You just compared mechanical keyboards to the diamond market, that's because it IS a luxury item. The feel of a mechanical keyboard versus a membrane keyboard is night and day. It isn't overpriced for what it does because the entire market is selling at that price. Mechanical keyboards don't come cheap because they're like the sports cars, you're not going to find a 'cheap' sports car... that's just an oxymoron.

Oh, I agree that clicky keyboards feel better to type on. I only said what is well known by those that aren't blinded by marketing hype. $100 for a keyboard, no matter HOW "clicky" it is, is just retarded. Also, in reply to your question about where the figures came, I have a platinum account on GlobalSources. My family has done business in Asia for nearly 20 years. I logged in and checked what you can source these types of keyboards for. The Some of them are as high as $20 for full blown "gaming" keyboards with backlight, programmable keys, and other "high performance" specs.

you have no idea what you're talking about.

Do I want the Corsair K60 or this Logitech 710?

Heads up for anyone interested, Corsair will be releasing updated versions of the K60 and K95 soon. All mechanical instead of mostly mechanical.

Info on the K95 is on their website, http://www.corsair.com/k95/

Though they're pretty tight-lipped about the K65...

If the K60 is $60 or 65, the K60......but if it's $90, and you want any of the extra features of the logitech (or quieter keys) then the $100 G710+ is better. There are some other options in the $60 range, but nothing in the same class as the Logitech. It's all about what features you'll be using.

You do realize those are all cheap, shitty knockoffs of real Cherry MX switches... right?

So yea, that means your point is not actually a point. It's useless information that doesn't contribute anything to this thread.

Quote from ctsinc : NOW that is the case, but it's ironic because when mechanical keyboards were the norm, the quieter and more technologically advanced "membrane" keyboards were several times more expensive to produce than "old style clicky" mechanical keyboards. These aren't really that expensive to manufacture, in fact. They are manufactured in and sourced from China for $4-$9 each.

Please do enlighten me where you are getting these figures from. Not bashing, I really do want to know what Chinese factory is selling these for $4-$9 each. Because I would definitely pick a couple of these up at that price.

Logitech has brown switches.

Corsair has red switches.

Which is best for gaming? Quick double tapping? Quick actuation? Etc?

Quote from Larron : Seems decent, but you're taking a chance. A lot of the recent reviews say the backlight fails after just a few hours or days. Spending that kind of money on a keyboard, you'd expect one of the key features to work for more than a few days.

Bought mine shortly after Newegg first stocked them. Haven't had a single issue. Love the action on the cherry browns, and the factory o-ring "mod" is a great touch.

Great keyboard, but a warning- you should strongly consider whether the macro keys on the left side of the keyboard will get in your way and bother you. I didn't think they would and I bought the CM Storm Trigger... I had to sell it because the macro keys were so annoying.

Completely a matter of personal preference. For gaming specifically, there might be a slight preference towards black and red over brown overall, but people don't all agree on it. I personally love blues for both typing and gaming.

I kinda really want one...but I shouldn't. But I want one.

^^ Second on the blues. That click is just so satisfying. lol

I'm sorry this is a blind question.. but what are all of these references to blue's, red's, brown's, and whatever other colors?? Thanks!
