Logitech Eschews Romer-G Switches For Cherry In G610 Orion Keyboards

[scolaner]

Logitech has been packing its homegrown Romer-G switches onto its keyboards lately, but its new G610 Orion keyboards offer Cherry MX Red or Cherry MX Brown switches, instead. They also have single-color LED backlighting.

Wonder if the keys are as tightly packed as on the G710+ model?
I regret buying that keyboard because it is causing much more typos.

I wish more companies offered silent versions as an option. I really like a keyboard that's nice and quiet.

I think the Romer-G keys feel okay but something feels off to me. I have a G410 with Romer-G for work and a 710+ with MX Browns at home and I prefer the 710+.

I honestly prefer the mechanical switches Razer uses on their keyboards over the Romer-Gs.

Logitech G610 Orion Brown likes nice, I'd consider one if it didn't have that numeric pad. I nearly bought an Logitech Atlas Spectrum but it's just so wide, what's the point of skipping the number pad if the keyboard is so wide?

Yeah, a TKL version would be pretty sweet!

Good to give options to chose from!

Razer and Corsair both have "silent" options. I don't think they are truly silent but just quieted versions.

Membrane keyboards are as close to silent as keyboards are going to get. I know Razer makes one called the Darkstalker and Logitech makes a few in the G-series with membrane keys. Mechanical keyboards are going to be louder by design, even just the micro-switch design that all of them rely on makes some noise.

Why don't they just quit playing around and give me a G510s with cherry blues and rgb backlighting

I wish more companies offered loud as an option. I see so many gaming keyboards, but none have RGB (a big deal to me) AND blue switches. I had to settle for a k95 rgb with brown switches because it seems the one with blue switches never came out or they made like 5 of them total

Just an observation: I love how some of you are like, "QUIETER," and some say, "LOUDER." Just kind of points to the need for diversity in these keyboard lineups.

Also seems to reinforce Epic Gear's idea of swappable switches: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/epic-gear-defiant-mechanical-keyboard,31356.html

Quiet is for chumps. Give me blues or give me death.
