First, its features:
Dual zone lighting, at first I thought this to be a simple gimick, but if you play in low to-almost-no-light rooms, the dual zone comes in handy. With the press of a button, you can adjust the brightness of the entire keyboard, but also isolate the W,A,S,D and arrow keys, so you can have the entire keyboard off with only those keys on. I found this to be extremely useful for when playing games like BF3.
Macros, both on the fly and pre-gaming. Macros can be done on the fly. LUAs are done before hand. Whatever your style, you'll find this to be an easy task and will become familiar fairly quick. Logitech has experience with macros, so if you've used their keyboards before, you should have no problems here.
As expected, and which should be the standard with gaming boards, the G710+ has a "gaming" key, which will render the windows key useless while playing games, so no risk of accidental window mode taking you to the desktop while playing.
USB 2.0 passthrough. Great for peripherals, such as mice, headsets, etc. I tested it with a razer mamba and had no issues, I also tested it with Logitech's own G700 mouse and worked perfectly.
Media keys, which enable playback, track foward/back, stop and a very useful and well built volume wheel, which feels solid and extremely responsive.
Now, the main reason this keyboard is a beast and a gamers dream...The superb, anti-ghosting mechanical keys. These are excellent in every sense of the word. If you are an avid FPS player, this keyboard will improve your input/output ratio with great results. Each key has a Cherry Brown switch made by the masters at ZF Electronics, which used to be called the Cherry company. Do not fear though, the quality is still there and you can feel it.
While playing BF3, the board did an excellent job at translating my every key stroke into a perfect output, each key stroke engages its respective switch, eliminating ghosting. Multiple key functions are also improved, going to prone, to crouch and slidding at the same time is done with such ease that I my hands/fingers felt more natural and at rest, even after hours of playing.
During RPGs, RTS and other genres, I found the macros to work as I had them programmed. Reaching for the keys was never an issue. Menus and their subs, such as inventory, quest, etc. worked with each key stroke as well.
Typing: not really the reason why I bought the board, but worth mentioning. Have you ever tried to login into your email acount and mistakenly press more keys when entering your password? With the G710+ you won't, because as you get to use it more and more, your brain will adapt to the fact that each key represents a single digit, period and you'll feel it as well.
Build:
Well made, high quality parts. Heavy, but not like a brick either, it's hard to describe. It is well balanced and feels very comfortable to use during long gaming sessions.
Noise:
Logitecs claims this keyboard to be very quiet, but that's not the case. They tried to decrease the amount of "click" noise by including O-rings under each key to function as noise dampeners, which work to an extend, but if you are migrating from a common rubber membrane style of board (Logitech G19, G510, Razer, etc), you will notice the noise even more. But quite honestly, it can't be avoided. Don't be fooled though, the noise is not incredible loud either, I've heard statements such as "if your neighbor (gaming neighbor) doesn't like noise, then mechanical is not for you", this far from true, the fact is , it does make noise, but not hammer and chisel noise. If you have a rubber membrane board, press on a key, it makes noise right? well, the mechanical does the same but it is more of a dry, more pronounced noise.
In conclusion. If you are a PC gamer, you should defenitely give the G710+ a try. You can trust me and buy this keyboard. If not, go to your local PC store and play around with their display models. I did and tried Razer's Blackwidow Ultimate, which uses Blue switches, I also happened to try (from a friend)the "stealth version", which uses Brown switches, and quite honestly, the amount of noise was just about the same, but the "tactical" feel was a bit loose, at least for my taste.
So there it is. I tested this bad boy and as always, Logitech delivers. Not only has it made an excellent mechanical keyboard, but it has kept it at an affordable price with hight quality parts. The software is easy to use and the user experience from gaming to typing has improved, at least for me.
Pros:
+ Macro keys are perfectly accessible (no accidental presses) and save a lot of time (high productivity is possible if you are creative).
+ Logitech software is user-friendly.
+ The G710+'s brown switches are perfect for gaming and typing. It is extremely satisfying to type with blue switches, but in FPS gaming they are a pain. I have not tried blacks and reds.
Cons (most of these are mostly minor - that's why I give a rating of 5 stars):
- The worst part of this keyboard is the palm rest: It is too short, unstable, and it doesn't fit the keyboard properly.
- Inconsistent design of the material. In the center, there is a glossy black finish and on the outside there is matte black material. It would have been better IMO to use matte throughout, because that doesn't attract dust.
- If your games block software level macros you are SOL. There is no hardware-level programming.
- There is only one USB port on the keyboard (to which you can connect a USB headset, flash stick, smartphone charging cable etc.) and the USB port is only 2.0, not 3.0. The positioning isn't that great, it would have been better if it were more visible or on the side.
- USB charges my Samsung Galaxy, but I am only able to access its files rarely (it doesn't recognize it almost always). If I use any other port on my PC, I never have any problems; the issue is with the hub.
- No microphone or audio port for a non-USB headset.
- No internal memory.
- No OLED/LED display on keyboard or individual keys.
- No wireless option. I prefer wired (low latency), but I should have the option to disconnect the wire and only hook it up to the cable when I need to recharge.
- The silvery logo on the bottom blinds me because it has five edges and I have a desk lamp. Repositioning of the lamp is restrictive. This logo isn't necessary and shouldn't have been added (less is more, in this case).
- It would have been better if there would have been 12 or 18 physical macro buttons on the side, instead of 6 (despite being able to switch between M1, M2, and M3 for a total of 18 logical macros).
- The symbols on the keys are not illuminated, only the respective letters/numbers.
- Why do the WASD keys need to be specially singled out in illumination control? It would have better to have an increaseLuminosity/decreaseLuminosity instead of increaseWASD/increaseAllOtherKeys
- Some of the LED's are bright and cannot be disabled.
- No tool was provided with which one can remove the keys. No black WASD keys were provided for those that want a consistent/non-gamer look.
Neutral:
- Most of the extra features are really useless to me. I have never once in my life accidentally clicked on the Windows key when I didn't want to (so, the gaming mode key is useless to me). Further, I always keep the light at the lowest level, so I don't see a point in being able to configure it. I also never program macros on the fly. The media buttons are too far away from my hands, so using program shortcuts is much faster for me.
- The design and colors are a matter of taste, but I would have preferred something more conservative.
- As mentioned before, if you can't afford luxuries, I strongly advise against buying this keyboard as there are many keyboards are out there that are almost as good (rubberdome with macro keys) and cost a fraction of this one. Even if you use your keyboard 12 hrs a day and are a perfectionist, there is little accumulated benefit.
Top reviews from other countries
One of the greatest keyboards ever made. And the price is unbeatable
Simple, plug and play. It's never let me down. It's reliable and it's a tank.
Real Cherry MX Brown switches with O-rings
Functional macro keys and multimedia keys
Both a pro and a con, looks like a serious gamer keyboard
**What I didn't like**
The wrist rest is too short (much shorter than appears in the image due to the angle of the photo) so it's useless and it's cheap plastic
It's a large keyboard. Significantly larger than most. Takes up a lot of desk space
Requires two USB inputs. Spare USB slots are valuable. Most keyboards that I've had with two inputs have a USB extender built in.
I don't like o-rings, I thought I would, it's nice for reaching across the keyboard but an important feedback is lost
**Overall**
If you consider my points above and decide you can live with... then you can't go wrong with this keyboard. 5 stars, an unsurpassed timeless classic!
Prima di acquistare il prodotto ho fatto alcune verifiche, contattando più volte il venditore, il quale, penso, mi avrà preso per pazzo!
Si tratta, infatti, di un venditore tedesco, che su Amazon.de ha parecchie recensioni, tutte positive. Qui, su Amazon.it, invece, non ne ha nessuna, e la cosa mi preoccupava non poco, anche e soprattutto vista la recente notizia di account di venditori, soprattutto tedeschi, hackerati, e utilizzati per creare finte inserzioni su altri store Amazon.
Ho contattato, allora, il venditore, sia via Amazon.it, sia via Amazon.de, sia usando un indirizzo email reperibile sul suo sito.
Egli mi ha assicurato che il prodotto era affidabile, che si trattava della 710+, e che il prodotto era in condizioni ottime. Infatti si tratta di una tastiera usata per appena 4 giorni, durante i quali è stata esposta al Gamescom.
L'articolo è arrivato in un imballaggio perfetto, e la sua confezione originale, completa di tutto, non aveva nemmeno un graffio.
La tastiera è in condizioni ottime, e non presenta alcun segno di usura. Tutti i tasti funzionano al meglio, l'illuminazione non presenta alcun led non funzionante, e il passthrough USB 2.0 non dà alcun problema.
Veniamo alla tastiera in sé: si tratta di una tastiera meccanica, gemella della G710, la quale monta, come switch, gli Cherry MX Blue. Questa, invece, usa i Brown. Si tratta di switch spesso scelti per chi utilizza il PC più per lavorare che per giocare, come è il mio caso. Essi hanno una forza di attivazione di 45g, un feedback tattile all'attivazione, e una corsa efficace di 2mm, a fronte di una corsa totale di 4mm. La forza necessaria ad arrivare fino in fondo alla corsa totale è di circa 55g. Si tratta di un tipo di switch che sto trovando davvero gradevole, e mi ci sono abituato quasi subito. Inoltre, venendo da una tastiera a membrana di livello basso, sto appezzando non poco la novità! Ancora, mi aspettavo che gli switch fossero più rumorosi, e la cosa mi ha piacevolmente sorpreso.
La tastiera in sé ha una qualità costruttiva ottima, seppur la scocca sia di plastica. Una parte del rivestimento frontale ha una plastica glossy, l'altra, invece, ha una plastica matte. La retroilluminazione ha due zone indipendenti, una costituita dai tasti WASD e dalle frecce direzionali, e l'altra, invece, da tutto il resto della tastiera. Vi sono 5 livelli di illuminazione: 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 0%. Mi sto trovando bene a usare quello al 50%, che trovo molto gradevole, soprattutto la sera, mentre quelli al 100% e 75% trovo siano troppo brillanti, tanto da dare fastidio anche mentre si guarda lo schermo. Piacevole, inoltre, il feeling della plastica dei tasti, abbastanza ruvida sotto le dita. I tasti hanno una geometria concava che limita la deriva delle dita, cosa che trovo molto utile.
Ci tengo a sottolineare che la tastiera ha un layout US, diverso da quello italiano. Sul sito della Logitech è possibile acquistare i kaycaps sostitutivi per passare al layout Italiano, ma, visto il costo della tastiera (70€ comprensivi di spedizione), e visto il costo del set di keycaps (25€ + spedizione), direi che non ne vale assolutamente la pena.
La tastiera è dotata di 6 tasti G configurabili come meglio si crede, tramite il software adeguato scaricabile dal sito della casa madre. Inoltre, essa ha 4 modalità di funzionamento, a ciascuna di esse associata una diversa funzione dei tasti G, e, tramite software, è possibile definire alcuni profili di funzionamento; a ciascuno di essi viene associata una diversa combinazione di modalità. Insomma, la scelta, per quanto riguarda le modalità di impiego e il relativo comportamento della tastiera, è veramente vasta. Forse anche troppo, per quel che mi riguarda, non avendo particolarmente a cuore l'universo dei MMORPG!
Ancora, essa dispone di una porta USB 2.0 sul retro, che ho utilizzato per collegare il mouse, e ridurre il numero di cavi a vista sulla scrivania.
Proprio per via della presenza del passthrough USB, la tastiera necessita di due porte USB per funzionare: una dedicata alla tastiera in sé, l'altra, invece, al passthrough.
Sul backplate della tastiera è presente una guida per portare un eventuale cavo USB all'utente, anche se non riesco a immaginare chi mai vorrebbe usare una cosa del genere!
La tastiera arriva corredata di poggiapolsi, in plastica, removibile, che trovo particolarmente comodo, seppur esteticamente non eccelso.
Ancora, ha dei tasti multimediali particolarmente comuni, nel mondo delle tastiere meccaniche, ma altrettanto comodi ed eleganti, e dispone del sempre più classico pulsante per disattivare il tasto Windows, dedicato alle sessioni di gioco più immersive.
Insomma, ora come ora non riesco a trovare un punto a sfavore di questo prodotto, né del venditore. Mi riservo, però, di aggiornare la recensione tra una settimana, e ancora tra un mese, per vedere come si comporta nel tempo. Inoltre, ancora non l'ho provata in game, quindi non so dire come mi troverò. Corredata di 26 rollover keys, e 110 antighosting keys, dovrebbe comportarsi davvero bene. Francamente, suppongo che sarà tanto valida quanto lo è stata per scrivere questa (noiosamente lunga!) recensione!

Si tratta di switch spesso scelti per chi utilizza il PC più per lavorare che per giocare, come è il mio caso. Essi hanno una forza di attivazione di 45g, un feedback tattile all'attivazione, e una corsa efficace di 2mm, a fronte di una corsa totale di 4mm. La forza necessaria ad arrivare fino in fondo alla corsa totale è di circa 55g. Si tratta di un tipo di switch che sto trovando davvero gradevole, e mi ci sono abituato quasi subito. Inoltre, venendo da una tastiera a membrana di livello basso, sto appezzando non poco la novità! Ancora, mi aspettavo che gli switch fossero più rumorosi, e la cosa mi ha piacevolmente sorpreso.
La tastiera in sé ha una qualità costruttiva ottima, seppur la scocca sia di plastica. Una parte del rivestimento frontale ha una plastica glossy, l'altra, invece, ha una plastica matte. La retroilluminazione ha due zone indipendenti, una costituita dai tasti WASD e dalle frecce direzionali, e l'altra, invece, da tutto il resto della tastiera. Vi sono 5 livelli di illuminazione: 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 0%. Mi sto trovando bene a usare quello al 50%, che trovo molto gradevole, soprattutto la sera, mentre quelli al 100% e 75% trovo siano troppo brillanti, tanto da dare fastidio anche mentre si guarda lo schermo. Piacevole, inoltre, il feeling della plastica dei tasti, abbastanza ruvida sotto le dita. I tasti hanno una geometria concava che limita la deriva delle dita, cosa che trovo molto utile.
Ci tengo a sottolineare che la tastiera ha un layout US, diverso da quello italiano. Sul sito della Logitech è possibile acquistare i kaycaps sostitutivi per passare al layout Italiano, ma, visto il costo della tastiera (70€ comprensivi di spedizione), e visto il costo del set di keycaps (25€ + spedizione), direi che non ne vale assolutamente la pena.
La tastiera è dotata di 6 tasti G configurabili come meglio si crede, tramite il software adeguato scaricabile dal sito della casa madre. Inoltre, essa ha 4 modalità di funzionamento, a ciascuna di esse associata una diversa funzione dei tasti G, e, tramite software, è possibile definire alcuni profili di funzionamento; a ciascuno di essi viene associata una diversa combinazione di modalità. Insomma, la scelta, per quanto riguarda le modalità di impiego e il relativo comportamento della tastiera, è veramente vasta. Forse anche troppo, per quel che mi riguarda, non avendo particolarmente a cuore l'universo dei MMORPG!
Ancora, essa dispone di una porta USB 2.0 sul retro, che ho utilizzato per collegare il mouse, e ridurre il numero di cavi a vista sulla scrivania.
Proprio per via della presenza del passthrough USB, la tastiera necessita di due porte USB per funzionare: una dedicata alla tastiera in sé, l'altra, invece, al passthrough.
Sul backplate della tastiera è presente una guida per portare un eventuale cavo USB all'utente, anche se non riesco a immaginare chi mai vorrebbe usare una cosa del genere!
La tastiera arriva corredata di poggiapolsi, in plastica, removibile, che trovo particolarmente comodo, seppur esteticamente non eccelso.
Ancora, ha dei tasti multimediali particolarmente comuni, nel mondo delle tastiere meccaniche, ma altrettanto comodi ed eleganti, e dispone del sempre più classico pulsante per disattivare il tasto Windows, dedicato alle sessioni di gioco più immersive.
Insomma, ora come ora non riesco a trovare un punto a sfavore di questo prodotto, né del venditore. Mi riservo, però, di aggiornare la recensione tra una settimana, e ancora tra un mese, per vedere come si comporta nel tempo. Inoltre, ancora non l'ho provata in game, quindi non so dire come mi troverò. Corredata di 26 rollover keys, e 110 antighosting keys, dovrebbe comportarsi davvero bene. Francamente, suppongo che sarà tanto valida quanto lo è stata per scrivere questa (noiosamente lunga!) recensione!
La tastiera la conosciamo un po' tutti nell'ambito gaming, è un must classico. Il feeling tattile è ottimo, ogni elemento dà l'impressione di resistenza seppur sia realizzata in plastica, non è un'acchiappapolvere come altri dispositivi simili il che sottolinea una buona qualità delle vernici. Ottimo anche il prezzo dell'usato pari al nuovo, con 69 euro compresa spedizione ho portato (anzi, mi hanno portato eheh) a casa una tastiera dalle qualità indubbie, leggendaria.
