logitech's G series of keyboards been nothing short of spaceship s to this point perhaps aside from the much-loved G 710 that led the way some time ago you can't help it immediately notice that in terms of aesthetics the new G 810 of Ryan spectrums gone back to basic shapes offering a simple and straightforward rectangular design being not however as suggested by the spectrum moniker this mechanical keyboard stays true to its gaming heart and offers full individually backlit RGB lighting few last year we were introduced to Logitech so in romaji switches for the g9 10 Orion's fire not quite like them the 25% faster actuation was detectable and I did like the tactile feedback that they provided having said that I'm very accustomed to Cherry MX blue switches we should to offer a much more snappy and clicky type of feedback quite different to the Roma G's the softer roma g switches are certainly a lot quieter that's for sure with the wealth of mechanical switches available today it really comes down to personal preference no switch is objectively better than another in my opinion personally Cherry MX Blues are still my favorite I love that over-the-top tactile and aural feedback on every keystroke now as I mentioned the g8n 4 goes the extravagant geometry of its predecessors and it's a nice refreshing change with a design that reminds me quite a lot of the Corsair strafe the Orion spectrum offers a much more elegant and stylish appearance that can fit into an office setting as well as a LAN party the g8n wastes no space either well it does include the 10 key numpad and a few media buttons the key layout presses right up to each edge aside from the top and there's no rest rest included I'm a big fan of a nice big removable wrist rest so this would have been a welcome inclusion but Logitech have clearly gone for a space efficient design this time around and it's come off nicely keeping with this space efficient theme the g8 M spares the inclusion of any dedicated macro keys although it does include a Windows lock key backlighting toggle and media keys including a nice wide volume wheel which allows accurate look and single-handed volume adjustment on the flyer browning out the face of the keyboard is a sleek backlit Logitech G logo at the top left corner on the bottom we've got a nice diagonal contours that you basically never see but then also something pretty nifty the little keyboard legs have three different heights you can set the keyboard too as well as the flat option so you can tweak this to your personal preference the GI 10 is of course managed by the well-polished and powerful logitech gaming software within you can create profiles with different games and applications create all kinds of RGB lighting patterns and effects reprogram specific keys and much much more the lighting options are nice and easy to mess around with and if you like me you don't to sit there for 10 hours creating your own fancy pattern just give me some cool presets and let me choose one this is certainly a strength of the logitech gaming software and you can have waves of rainbows gliding across the keys in moments the software will also scan for installed games in your system and can offer predefined lighting profiles for each one pretty nifty this makes it super easy to customize profiles for each game too performance wise g8n does everything it's supposed to do the keys are of course super responsive and the faster actuation does feel nice under the finger I really think your performance of a keyboard is gonna have a lot to do with how much practice you've had and how many hours you put in with those specific switches the Gio 10 and Roma G's aren't lucky in any area if you have someone that relies on having extra dedicated macro keys and you can build a very good relationship with the Orion spectrum over time overall I really like the g8n Orien spectrum it's sleek flat form and particular appeals to me over Logitech some previous offerings I can see this keyboard being a popular choice the more mature gaming for this reason logitech gaming software as a gear strength and although they are my absolute favorite I'm a fan of the romaji switches and there are a nice chance to use for five or so days the g8n won't be taking you over as my daily driver because I'm big on wrist rest and find the pastor of a USB pass-through very useful however I can say the g8n is a very nice solution I would have no trouble recommending it at all at 159 USD or $219 redos it's a little pricey for its feature set in my but game is are getting used to these kinds of prices or are they perhaps Logitech we've forced to become more aggressive on pricing over the coming weeks it really depends on how much gamers gobble these things up so as the g8 anarchy board you'll be considering what's your favorite logitech gaming keyboard let me know in the poll and if you've got any questions at all then please hit me up in the
