"Keyboard Fetishist's Dream"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Full disclosure: I'm weird and creepy, and I have a bizarre obsession with keyboards. With that out of the way, I have nothing but positive things to say about the Logitech G610.

It's small, so you're left with a ton of desk real estate, and despite its size the build quality is really good. (Unlike my Razer Blackwidow, which is a rickety abomination with malfunctioning Kailh keyswitches.) It has a fair bit of weight to it, and height-adjustable rubber feet that prevent it from sliding all over the desk. The Cherry MX Blue keyswitches give you a ton of tactile feedback, along with that comforting clickety-clack typing sound so beloved of mechanical keyboard nerds everywhere. The backlighting comes in any colour you like, just so long as it's white – which is fine, as I spend most of my time typing up documents or playing games, not attempting to trigger keyboard-induced epileptic seizures.

You can download the Logitech Gaming Software from their website, which allows you to configure everything from hotkeys to lighting setups. The media keys all work as intended (but aren't mechanical), and the customisable ‘game mode’ key is useful for those players prone to accidentally tapping the Windows key in the middle of a frenetic fire-fight. You don't get a headphone jack, USB ports or a wrist rest, but you do get 26 key rollover, so you can flail hysterically at the keyboard knowing that every rage-fuelled keypress will register without fail.

For the money, the G610 is a solid keyboard, a pleasure to use, and should serve you well for a long time to come. (Unless you have anger management issues and routinely thrash your keyboard half to death – in which case, your mileage may vary.)

"9/10 Keyboard"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Great keyboard no flex on the body and has 3 adjustable heights, comes with scroll wheel and dedicated media keys that work well with Spotify. Cable is braided and stiff enough. If you're thinking about grabbing this keybaord just do it you won't regret. Packaging that the keyboard came in was secure had plenty of airbags and bubble wrap. Only thing that's missing from this keybaord is a USB passthrough.

"Love almost everything about it."

If you're an ESDF player you'll have no problems, if you're a WASD player it could do with a tad more at the end of the keyboard so you can rest your fingers (helpful for some games).

The keyboard feels really nice. The only problem is there is only one RGB (white) which is alright if you're not into a lot of colours. But other than that I give it a solid 10

"A fantastic clicky keyboard."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The keyboard is well built, heavy and sturdy. The braided USB cable feels sturdy but not too uncontrollable once it's not kinked from being curled up any more. The keypresses feels good under your hand. The game mode button is a good addition. The only problem I have with the keyboard is the LED lighting on the keys sometimes stops working (the logitech logo seems unaffected), and only works as intended if I unplug / replug the keyboard into my computer shrug. The software is fairly good, but the newer version is buggy and doesn't work too well so stick with the old one for now! While it doesn't have any function keys, only media buttons, I'm not missing them yet.

Worth a purchase if you don't want RGB lighting and a good use of cherry blue switches!

"Amazing Keyboard"

I have been using mechanical keyboards for gaming and have experience using keyboards from steelseries, razer and many other brands, however this tops them all, the build quality is unmatched and I haven't encountered a SINGLE problem encounter with this keyboard with well over a year of use so far.

Rubber feet are quite useful for protecting you desk aswell as stopping it from moving. The keys are nice for gaming aswell as regular use such as browsing the web. The dedicated media keys are quite useful as they can mute you pc and increase/decrease the volume. Though the plastic does pick up oils easily. They keyboard also had some unexpexted weight, though it does not really matter to me.
