I must say that I really appreciate the G810 keyboard so far! It was a little hard getting used to the Romer G switches, but it is feeling very snappy. I know that it was brought up on one the PAX East episodes and it is definitely worth reviewing. What are other peoples thoughts on this keyboard and other keyboards? I would love to hear the communities opinions.
Just picked up the Cooler Master TK cherry mx brown .
Pros
1 mx brown keys i like they feel and respond fast and crisp. sound is less then my rubber dome keyboard which was a $20 logitech.
2 size i game from my couch on a lap table and it is perfect for that
3 white back lighting
4 windows key disable
5 weight is under 2 lbs
Cons
Non so far
Went to best buy to get a mech keyboard to see if was what i wanted to use and tried the Poseidon Z that was better then my old keyboard but the kaile switches are louder then mx and they had a menu key where the windows key is on the CM TK and I was always hitting it.
Still that keyboard was way better then any rubber dome i have used.
If this keyboard was not going to be the one I like the next was the G410 romer g keys.
I also game from a coffee table and couch setting. It is nice to have the Romer G switches, but I have always been curious about the MX cherry brown swiches. Kaile switches are so loud... I feel like I might break a sound ordinance if I used them.
I found kaile to be very loud compared to mx both the same color
How do you like the Romer G keys, My problem right now is i am in a love hate with logitech my m560 marble mouse the buttons are die and it is a year half old. Other wise I would have tried the G410 but right now logitech is in the hardware dog house. From the reviews the Romer G look like good switches. So would like to hear from you on what you think of them.
Maybe i can get logitech out of the dog house.
Sad cuz logitech has been my goto mouse and keyboards for 25 years.
And now I have gone typing crazy with this keyboard it is a joy to type compared to rubber dome.
Have a day
Logitech has an issue with the G810. My number lock, caps lock, and scroll lock all work fine, but there is a issue with the LED's not being responsive. You can't tell if they are on or off sometimes. Physically, they work just fine, but it is kind of annoying that you don't know until you being typing. The Romer G keys feels excellent. They have a nice feedback and the LED is placed in the center of the switch. This provides even light distribution to the key. The only thing that is different to get used to is the actuation distance of the key. I am used to typing on a laptop, as well as my desktop, and this provides a happy medium between minimal laptop actuation distance and rubber dome actuation distance. If you like a longer key press, this would not be the keyboard for you.
