G810 vs G Pro TKl Keyboard

[Jason_157]

Hi,
so I'm currently locked between the Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum and the new G Pro TKl keyboard. Is there any difference between them except for the size and media keys?

I've also heard that the G810 has a raised space bar, does this affect using it at all, and is it on the G Pro?

And last, does anyone have any experience of typing on Romer-G switches? How are they?

Thanks

What's your budget?
Neither are fantastic as Logitech's Romer-G switches aren't good imo.
Cherry MX keys are much better, the Romer Gs feel like MX browns except cheaper.
Corsair's K70s are much better.

I have tried Romer-G's, and I do actually quite like the feel of them.

Have you tried Cherry MX switches?
They feel much more responsive.

I haven't yet, as I can't find any stores that let me try them. New Zealand is horrible ;c

Ah, NZ.
Do you like clicky tactile keys or ones that are harder to press like the Romer Gs?

Sorry for the late reply. I really don't know haha. This'll be my first proper keyboard that I actually spend time choosing. What would you recommend?

I'd recommend the Cherry MX switches, much higher quality and they'll likely last you far longer.
The blues are a great place to start, my personal switch and they have just the right amount of depth imo to feel significant.
Budget?

I don't really have a budget. Prices are pretty bad here in NZ, but I guess around 200 NZD maximum.

Very easy to hit that budget in NZ.

The Romer-G switches actually take less actuation force at only 45g as opposed to Cherry MX Blue switches which takes 60g to get past the tactile bump. I'm a big fan of Cherry MX Red switches on the other hand. I have the K70 Lux RGB by Corsair and I love the keyboard. As far as quality and durability go, Romer G switches are proven to be just as durable if not more so. They've been proven to go 70 million keys stokes and beyond, while Cherry MX switches are around the 50 million keystroke mark. So going with the G810 is not a bad idea, especially considering it's on sale for 100 bucks on Amazon as opposed to 160 retail value on their website.

Also, if you're willing to spend a bit more cash, and you enjoy a much more durable keyboard as far as the body of the keyboard goes, get the K70 Lux RGB. It has a brushed aluminum body and a palm rest (which the G810 does not come with). I hope you find what you're looking for.
