Logitech G610 Orion: Review

2016-04-24
logitech is made a push with their own romaji mechanical switches of late I've reviewed them on the g8 10 most recently I'm a fan of the Roma G's however overall the variety and quality of the Cherry MX switches remains unparalleled knowing this logitech's latest mechanical installment includes the industry standard again non hand have Logitech's new g6 10 featuring Cherry MX brown switches speaking of the g8 10 you can be excused for mistake in the tube they share an identical footprint and the only face-up difference is detectable only once you plug the keyboard in while the g8 10 features full RGB lighting the g6 10 is illuminated with white only LEDs underneath the keys the switches of Cherry MX as mentioned meaning the lights it just above the switch unlike the Roma G's that cleverly include them in the middle of the switch for more consistent lighting across the whole key wedge notably on keys with multiple functions such as the number keys this keyboard has a standard key layout with additional media controls a wide volume wheel as well as windows lock key and lighting brightness toggle there's no additional macro keys and this helps keep the overall footprint of the keyboard quite small there aren't really a lot of mechanical keyboards that you could use in the office without giving away the fact that you're a gaming nerd but the g6 10 is definitely an exception it's sleek and understated with no flashy colors or crazy shapes the keyboard is black all around with a matte type smudge resistant finish up top and the glossy smooth finish around the sides and back the underside features a grippy diagonal line design 5 large rubber pads to prevent any sliding on the desk and then the flip down legs layer to choose from a flat 4 degrees or an 8 degree pitch which is definitely a nice touch and something that would be simple and inexpensive for other companies to include on the bottom of their keyboards I'm definitely a fan of the look and overall design of g6 Tenergy 810 and the small footprint is great too for gamers on the go performance-wise the g6 10 is great the Cherry MX which has been proven again and again so potential owners need to have no hesitation in this regard my g6 10 feature Terrier max Brown as mentioned you can also get it in Cherry MX Reds my personal favorite of the Cherry MX blue but it was actually quite nice to use a slightly quieter keyboard for a change the good old logitech gaming software is used to customize the g6 10 but as you might suspect there aren't a ton of options on the keyboard the lighting can be customized and there are some cool presets such as wave breathing and always-on are always off and you can also specify certain keys to stay always on or off to which some gamers like to use to highlight specific sections such as WASD with this software you can record an aside macros to any key then functions can also be assigned to the F keys that run across the top of the keyboard finally you can set up different profiles and there's a game mode that disables key combos that may interrupt you gaming by accident overall the G 6/10 is a straightforward and solid entry from Logitech I thought the G 8/10 was a nice change in terms of its simplicity but the G 6/10 takes that even further with its all-white backlighting and return to Cherry MX keys I would like to see availability and all four of the comment area mexic a top shion's and perhaps if sales start well that's something you will see in the future from Logitech coming into 120 US dollars the g6 10 is 40 dollars cheaper than the G 810 so for those that don't care for fancy RGB lighting prefer Cherry MX switches to Logitech seroma jeez it's absolutely perfect and great value personally I'm still hoping for a similarly sleek looking installment the pictures of wrist rest RGB lighting and USB pass-through before I consider outing my daily driver whether it's cherry MX Azure / G's I'm easy both are honestly great to use thanks for joining me for another mechanical keyboard review I'm your host man as always you can check out the written version this review and all our others on our website at hardware on box comm have a great day and I'll see you guys next time you
