Honestly after charging batteries on a million different devices, I want everything wired now. I want the keyboard to function even if I'm in the BIOS. I don't want to deal with connection issues. and given that mechanical keyboards are used for gaming, I'm not interested in a keyboard with a 15ms or higher delay, or losing functionality when the computer is chugging because the keyboard has to communicate at layer 7.

Do this make a lot of noise? I'm using logitech g910, consider switching to lower noise level
I came from a Logitech G810 which uses the same switches as the 910. I find the sound level about equal in my typing style but I got some cheap o-rings here [amazon.com] that have made them quieter.

Have apex 7 tkl. Is this comparable?
It's a full-size rather than a TKL for starters. Otherwise the main difference is that these use Omnipoint keys that let you set the actuation point per-key and even per-app.

Honestly after seeing all the wires in my desk I don't want anything wired anymore im slowly but surely transitioning to wireless everything seeing all those wires behind my desk gets me frustrated since sometimes i gotta pull on them to bring my mouse closer or headphones not going to buy any more wired stuff
Aesthetics vs functionality.

You've chosen the former; to each their own.

But know... you're wrong. 🙃

Pretty lights make this look so much better, who cares if it doesn't work very well. It's better to look good than to be good.

What color switch is this equivalent to. Or since it's adjustable does that mean you can change the feeling?

These are linear switches, so equivalent to cherry mx reds. You can, however, adjust the pre-travel distance and operating force.

They're linear switches so equivalent to Cherry Red.

The adjustable part doesn't change the feeling of them at all, but merely the actuation distance. So if you want the keys to register with the slightest amount of pressure for gaming you can set it to that. Or if you're typing for work you can set it to require a little more force. The adjustable part can be per-key or per-app if you want.

Best buy price match? Not sure if they'll do it when the discount is in the cart, but you could get it immediately then.
Yeah this is definitely a great price and worth doing price match. Just would kinda suck to wait all the way to mid May or even worse, order issues on the 25th.

Why do you say this? This is the highest rated gaming keyboard on rtings, and they are legit.

The knock on wanting to go wireless doesn't make sense. Latency on a gaming keyboard is the same as a wired equivalent. Gaming peripherals use the 2.4 ghz band, way faster than Bluetooth from an office peripheral.

Also, you can go with products with an internal battery vs having to buy batteries. As an example a popular (albeit flawed) brand Razer: an Orochi mouse can go with a AA or AAA battery, or a Viper can charge via USB-C or a dock. Logitech, Steelseries, Corsair, they all charge via USB too.

I agree with you, after owning a $30 wireless keyboard, I will probably never go back. It has never failed me in 2 years. And with Lightspeed from Logitech being also incorporated into their G915, and the same technology being used in their Superlight mouse (used in eSports tournaments at the highest level) there is no argument that wireless technology is slower. It's simply not true any more.

Bluetooth uses the same 2.4 ghz band as well as many proprietary wireless keyboards and mice.
