    I have had this product for a good few years now.

    Extremely reliable and the rainbow effect can be turned off. Volume wheel works wonders and efficient. My main issues are accidentally hitting the G keys to the left, and there’s a few extra buttons that appear to be unusable in general.

    I hit the keyboard hard when typing (not intentionally) and this holds up well.

    * Please note ergonomic rating may not apply to you as I have ehlers-dahnos syndrome and dyspraxia, so I’m a bit more sensitive to that side of it. Probably will be just fine for everyone else.

    Pretty gaming keyboard with plenty of media keys, volume scroll, and 9 macro keys with 3 profiles for a total of 27. The switches feel nice, they’re mechanical but not too tactile, clicky, or loud. They’re not linear either. Close to cherry browns. There’s a softness to the switches which makes it a great first mechanical keyboard for anyone moving from membrane. The gamer font takes some getting used to. The arx dock to hold your phone is a nice little extra if you care about it. Cable non-detachable. Game mode key and media keys are always blue, not RGB, and likewise the macro profile keys are always amber, not RGB. The logo on the wrist rest glows RGB so that looks very nice. Body feels solid and well built. There’s a slight resonant ring when you hit a key hard enough which may annoy some people, look up video reviews to make sure you don’t mind it. Wrist rest looks like it’s possible but not easy to remove, I haven’t tried. Probably one of, if not the best Logitech 100% size keyboards out there. If you have other Logitech RGB gear like me, it fits perfectly.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThe brown switches ended up double registering after about a year of light use. Not sure how even though I didn’t press the keys too hard either. Was a good keyboard to get into the mechanical keyboard realm.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI have bought a few “cheap” RGB Mechanical keyboards and kept finding them break after a short period of time (2-3 weeks) so decided to buy something with better reviews and a higher price tag… I haven’t regretted it, I have had this over a year and it still works flawlessly. Pretty sure this model is getting very old now but it’s still regarded as a very good keyboard.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI spend a lot of time using a keyboard so I’m very fussy about them. I saw this one reduced so I decided to try it. I was previously using a good mechanical keyboard that used Cherry switches, which I was happy with, so I bought this one with one eye on returning it. I’m keeping it. The appeal of this keyboard was the dedicated media keys (especially the volume roller) and the macro (G1-G9) keys that I could program. They’re great.

    The keyboard is sturdy with a re-assuring weight to it. It’s not huge, as some people have commented. It’s only slightly bigger than the one it replaced so it won’t consume too much desk space. They key action is great. Not quite as clicky (or noisy) as my Cherry keys but still satisfying clicky and has a very obvious mechanical feel. I’ve heard others say it has a membrane feel to it. It doesn’t.

    The keyboard really has everything you’d want from a keyboard. Nice keys, great feel, great lighting, lots of dedicated keys, comfortable to use. There are 27 macro keys (9 unique ones that you can customise in three ways) so you can program all of your common keystrokes and phrases. Recording macros is very easy. It’s a real time saver. There’s a quality feel to every key that I can’t put into words but you’ll know it when you feel it.

    I’m a casual gamer. The RGB is nice and, as others have noted, very bright, much brighter than my old keyboard. The gaming keys (WASD) are clearly highlighted. The macro (G) keys will be great for gaming (I’ve not tried them yet).

    The Arx Dock Release doesn’t do much but at least it’s somewhere to put your phone while you work/play. I’ll use it in spite of it being nothing more than a phone holder.

    Overall, I’m delighted with this keyboard. I genuinely bought it with the possibility of returning it but it’s a keeper. Would I pay 160 for it? No — although I was keeping my eye on a similar Corsair (RGB Pro) one for around that price (it also has the media keys that I wanted). But if it’s on sale for 100 or less I’d 100% recommend it. Even if you have a good keyboard, this is better.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThe keyboard is good but the lighting is what lets it down. The colours aren’t accurate nor uniform across the keys/logos, also the media and lock lights always remain a light blue. The software can be a bit finicky when trying to set up animation light patterns. This is one the cheapest name brand mechanical keyboards that performs well, worth the 60 odd I paid.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersThis is a very nice keyboard, the keys have a very direct press & return and I really like that I can have separate colours for ASWD, numbers and the other keys. Being able to disable the Windows keys while gaming is a nice feature. My old Logitech gaming keyboard the back lighting was too dim whereas this is is really nice and bright. The lighting is either on or off though with no option to dim or brighten it. The only drawback is the price. It was a very spontaneous purchase due to keyboard envy (of my friend’s teenage son!) but 100 quid on a keyboard! what was I thinking?

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersBought from Amazon Warehouse USED acceptable, but, basically BNIB! I think I might have gotten myself a bit of a bargain here! The keyboard is very nice feeling when you are typing, also, the wrist rest is a nice touch. Played a few games with it and can very much say that it is a brilliant addition to my setup. I do not think I will ever go back to the no-name branded mech keyboards

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersMy second unit, very capable keyboard.

    My existing one started to double keyy or fail to provide a letter after 5 years of use, there are replacement keys available, but a new one was just a bit more in the Amazon sale.

    The keys are removable to clean the diust out, which I did and even applied some razor oil, which did help, but will attract dust too.

    I like he programmable function keys, I use them daily

    The efeccts are really aimed at tennages and quiet useless.

    BUT you can program the key colours and keep them static, which is ideal and why I like it, so often used keys like F5 refresh are Green and the programable keys are Red and so is the enter, tab and space keys, the rest being blue.

    It looks good and makes fast identification very much easier.

    Being wired, it is much more responsive than the delay with wireless, I will stick with wired keyboards and a wireless ergonomic Logitech mouse.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersAfter I ran into trouble with some of Logitechs cheaper keyboards I decided to give this one a try and I must say I am not disappointed.

    This is my first mechanical key board and it works perfectly. I find it easy to type on and the keys light up individiually when playing battlefield 2042 (this was setup by default).

    build quality is very good and this keyboard is heavier than my laptop so it dosent slip around.

    the logitech software allows you to customise the G keys on tihs keyboard, however I have never used these can be of use to some competitive player out there.

    overall a good design and work well for me.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI love this keyboard but still i don’t feel like it should cost what it cost, i got it on discount so was 60 and I’m really happy for that price.
    Keypress aren’t soft, but it’s nice. The keyboard has the ability to change every single key color which is nice, you can even set it up for each game, Logitech it’s an amazing brand tbh.

    Macro keys to the left are a pain , Everytime i need to use shift my hand goes there , only really bad desig

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersYou can immediately feel this is a solidly built keyboard when removing from the packaging. It has good weight and feel and the software for light control is great if not a little confusing at first.

    The Arx control looks like a fun feature and having investigated seems like it could offer some nice integration opportunities.

    Very happy with this purchase.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersIt’s a lot bigger than I thought it would be and lays in my opinion a little too flat I had to raise mine at the back to get a more comfortable feel with it. Plus I personally don’t like the feel of metal keys hens this is perfect because it has the classic feel of plastic. So it feels a little easy to break but I don’t rage much so I am sure it be a great keyboard for the next few years for me.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersWow ! I consider this is a superior gaming keyboard from the moment you touch it you get in love! The sensitivity of the keys and the response time is amazing! Is quite heavy and doesn’t move from where you put it Is having an app as well and a dock for a phone ( no charging option ) but you can see on that your computer characteristics and temperatures in real time . I will recommend this product to others without any problems ! Enjoy!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis is my first mechanical keyboard, just upgraded from a corsair membrane board. The difference is night and day, the tactile response has improved my typing accuracy significantly. The RBGs on the board are very nice, you can change the colour of individual keys, if that’s your thing, and some games, (i.e. Battlefield V) can directly control the colour of the keys, which is actually pretty useful. The board grips pretty well compared to other boards I have used, my corsair would slide all over the place. The construction, while the plastic is kind of cheap, is very solidly built, and has a bit of weight to it. I have seen lots of complaints about the G hub software, and while I have had trouble with the software in the past, presently I have no issues.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThis is an extremely well designed keyboard intending for gaming. I wouldn’t recommend this keyboard for those who intend to use it for fast-typing or touch-typing. There are better switches/keyboards on the market for that. My keyboard uses the romer-g tactile switch: it has a nice sensation, but seems purposefully designed for gaming / big fingers. The keys are quite square/blocky and combined with the tactile bump of the romer-g switch, you need to expend slightly more effort into pressing each key than you would on a much lighter switch. Put another way, the romer-g switch is a bit too ‘heavy’ for fast typists. There is also a mushiness, but I don’t think that negatively affects the quality of the switch. It’s a very unique sensation. I would recommend this keyboard with all its features to a gamer or anyone who would like a unique, large keyboard that is versatile. Definitely gets 5 stars from me!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI was deciding to go for the Corsair K70 RGB vs this one and after buying and using the G910, I can say that the experience of using it for general typing and gaming is amazing, not to mention, its cheaper too 🙂

    The Romer G switches have low actuation force and require little travel for key detection. This reduces RSI in the hands and wrist which is perfect for me and those who get RSI often. The keys also have a good amount of tactile feedback when they are pressed. The wrist rest is ok but would prefer a softer material.

    The RGB is really nice especially in the dark. There is no light bleed which means the light only comes through the key and not underneath it. IMO this reduces distraction and creates a cleaner look. Each key can have its own colour and brightness and a custom profile can be made for any game you want provided you use Logitech’s software.

    The keyboard also has 9 macro keys which is something you may not find on other keyboards considering this price point. Plus it has 3 macro profiles and each key can be recorded if you wish. Personally I don’t use the macro keys. It’s pretty much a bonus.

    The keyboard itself is well built despite having full plastic construction. There is minimal flex so shouldn’t affect heavy users and has a fair amount of weight to it. I would prefer a braided cable instead of a standard rubber one but its not a deal breaker. Overall, this keyboard is great for typing on and for gaming on.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI purchased this keyboard as I had wanted it for a while to match the Logitech G502 mouse I already had and have fell in love with. Luckily it went on offer on Black Friday and it was an offer I could not refuse (although even at full price its still a great keyboard).

    When it arrived and I set it up I was not disappointed, it is such a comfortable keyboard to use for those long gaming sessions and is also great for typing. The keys feel really good and it is extremely responsive. The software allows you to integrate all your Logitech Gaming peripherals together and is really easy to use. You can set up all the RGB lights to sync together too, should you so wish and all your settings for all peripherals are in one place. The only slight minus point for this is that compared to my older Corsair STRAFE keyboard, there aren’t as many lighting effects but this is a very minor point and will most likely not be a problem for most people.

    Another nice little addition is the ARX App which you can download for your phone which shows information about your PC and allows you to make some changes to your keyboard settings without having to open up the software. There is also a “docking” point on the keyboard where you can rest your phone to view the ARX App whilst gaming.

    If you are looking for a great gaming keyboard (especially if you have other Logitech Gaming peripherals) this is a great buy. I highly recommend this.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI’ve actually had this keyboard for quite a few years now but I ended up spilling cider all over my old one, though surprisingly I only lost a few keys functionality, unfortunately dead keys are not great on a keyboard no matter how many, so I just bought another one of these because it’s just that perfect of a keyboard.

    This keyboard is a pleasure to use, it’s got nice crisp mechanical keys which have lots of feedback but are not as “crunchy” as other mechanical keys, for lack of a better term. It’s great for both gaming and just typing in general, with a nice amount of macro keys if you’re into that, truth be told I’ve never used any of them myself but they work just fine.

    The brightness on the back lighting for this keyboard is also amazing and with Logitech’s software you can make some really nice lighting schemes even if the software itself is a little bit clunky at the moment, hopefully they work on that.

    This keyboard also has lots of nice little things, such as a windows key lock (can also be configured to lock other buttons), a button to turn the lighting on and off, media control keys and a really nice volume slider which is just a little roller but it’s so much nicer, more precise and tactile than volume up and down buttons. Furthermore this keyboard is nice and heavy, which is actually a big plus as it means it doesn’t move around too much while you’re using it especially in more intense gaming situations.

    Build quality-wise this keyboard is top-notch, it’s got a lovely matte almost soft feel to the keys and the plastic, and although it is mostly plastic it doesn’t feel cheap by any means, it also just looks really nice especially with a good lighting scheme set up.

    All in all, this is an expensive keyboard, and Logitech do a number of more stripped-down versions of it which I’m sure are just as good for their price-range, but if you want a good, solid and good-looking keyboard and you’re willing to spend a bit of money to get one then I can’t think of any better to recommend personally.

    Golden Review Award: 122 From Our UsersHaving used a Corsair K70 RGB Cherry MX Red for the last 3 years I decided that it was time to buy a new keyboard. It actually took me quite a long time to get used to the K70 simply because the Cherry Reds didn’t seem the best for typing on and I initially made way more typing errors than normal. The main reason for me deciding to get a new keyboard was due to how loud the Corsair K70 with Cherry Red switches were, especially when bottoming out. This was very noticeable late at night if I was working and it really was difficult to type quietly on that keyboard.

    I decided that I still wanted a mechanical keyboard but needed something quieter if possible. Mechanical keyboard? Quieter? Yeah… definitely not 2 words normally found in the same sentence although Logitech’s Romer-G switches kept cropping up as being much quieter than Cherry switches. Logitech had a few gaming keyboards to choose from that had Romer-G switches but I really liked the multimedia controls on the K70 and used the volume control a lot so I really wanted that functionality again. That pretty much narrowed it down to just the G910.

    I read up a bit and the G910 Orion Spectrum keyboard received generally favourable reviews with most of the criticisms being related to the feel of the Romer-G switches compared to Cherry switches. I think if you are used to Cherry switches then the Romer-G switches are going to be a drastic change and some people simply won’t like them. I wanted to see how different they are and decided to buy the G910 Orion Spectrum and managed to get it for a good price too.

    On arrival I was a little disappointed with the product packaging. The photo of the keyboard on the outer sleeve looked like it had been printed on an inkjet printer with blocked nozzles and was printed on paper thin card! Not a great start for a keyboard with an RRP of 159.99. The box was relatively heavy though which suggests the keyboard itself might be sturdy. Not much else in the box other than the keyboard and a small instruction and warranty pamphlet.

    The keyboard is quite heavy and feels sturdy. It is entirely plastic construction on the outside though, unlike the K70 which had a brushed aluminium body and felt considerably more premium. The cable is not braided – not a deal breaker but all my other Logitech products have braided cables and for the sake of a few pence it seems a little mean to leave this off a flagship product. There is no USB pass-through on this keyboard – I only mention it because my K70 did have this feature but then again it consumed an additional USB port on my PC. On the plus side the cable is quite thin and should be easy to route.

    After plugging the keyboard in I booted up my PC. The keyboard’s RGB lighting sprung into life, cycling through the colours of the rainbow from left to right. Very pretty, I guess, but definitely not very subtle! Also an unusual choice for default lighting I would have preferred a static colour especially as this cannot be changed without the Logitech Gaming Software running. There is a button to turn the lights off altogether but then the keys are quite hard to make out in low light.

    After Windows booted the keyboard was detected automatically by the Logitech Gaming Software, which I already had installed. I did not need to install any additional drivers for Windows 10.

    As for typing on, while I agree they do feel quite different to the Cherry MX Reds I was used to, I personally prefer the Romer-G switches. They are certainly a lot quieter than the Cherry Reds and I find them much easier to type on. I don’t think they feel as smooth to actuate as the Cherry keys but after a few days of using them I really like them now.

    The keyboard has no on-board memory so it cannot store profiles for your G-key configuration or your RGB lightning. This means it requires the Logitech Gaming Software to run otherwise it’s a basic keyboard with annoying default RGB lighting. If you are running an OS that doesn’t have this software then you may struggle to get the most from this keyboard.

    There’s plenty of configuration options for the RGB lighting and the latest Logitech Gaming Software allows to create some really cool custom stuff – you can also download profiles other people have made. Not all buttons on the keyboard can have their colour changed though. The 3 M-keys in the top left are orange, the MR-key in the top left is red and all of the media keys and Caps lock/Scroll lock/Num lock lights in the top right are blue. The RGB LEDs have a blueish hue to them so it’s not possible to make a pure white colour. The light does not bleed from underneath the keys like on the K70 and I think it looks cleaner as a result.

    I had a play around with the ‘G’ key profile stuff which seems quite cool and would be really beneficial in MMO games and other applications where macros would be useful. I’m not playing any games that would benefit from them at the moment so I probably won’t use those keys just yet. It wasn’t a selling point for me anyway. One thing that really annoyed me and needed changing was the ‘G5’ key in the bottom left, next to CTRL, was mapped to F5. I accidentally hit it more than once and it refreshed my browser window when I didn’t want it to. Thankfully it was easy to remove the assignment in the Logitech Gaming Software.

    I love still having a thumb roller for the volume control although it doesn’t feel anywhere near as nice as the one on my Corsair K70. If I tap it it rattles a little too so I hope that doesn’t cause issues further down the road.

    The ARX Dock Release is simply awful and very poorly executed too. It’s basically a cheap light blue plastic wobbly tray that’s completely different colour to the rest of the keyboard and also has no charging capability for your mobile. The idea is that you sit your mobile phone in it whilst running the Logitech ARX Control app to get different stats during games etc. but I don’t this isn’t going to be good for your battery or screen on your mobile phone. It would have been best left off the keyboard altogether instead of it being one of their main selling points!

    Just to clarify something that confused me initially was multiple versions of the G910. The G910 Orion Spectrum is a revised version of the G910 Orion Spark. The Orion spark has odd shaped keys and quite an ugly looking wrist wrest. I don’t think some of these were well received by the community but it does look like Logitech listened to their users and made some changes to the G910.

    Overall I really like this keyboard but it is let down but a few things. At this price point this should be the perfect keyboard but it’s not. Hopefully Logitech’s next flagship gaming keyboard will be closer to perfection.

    Pros:
    – Very heavy and sturdy despite being made of plastic
    – Romer-G Tactile switches are nice to type on (I much prefer them to Cherry MX Reds now)
    – Romer-G switches seem considerably more quiet than Cherry MX Reds, even when bottoming out
    – 9 programmable G-keys which when combined with the M-keys provides 27 unique functions (Logitech Gaming Software required)
    – Thumb roller volume control which is much nicer than pressing + and – buttons. It’s not as nice as the Corsair K70 one though.
    – RGB lighting is very flexible (Logitech Gaming Software required)
    – RGB lighting doesn’t bleed out from the under the keys like on some other keyboards such as the Corsair K70 RGB

    Neutral:
    – USB cable is not braided
    – No USB pass through on the keyboard
    – I would have preferred the W,S,A and D keys to have standard looking caps on them with the ‘G’ caps supplied as extras

    Cons:
    – No on-board memory to store profiles so the Logitech Gaming Software has to be running at all times otherwise the G-keys and RGB lighting settings do not work
    – Without the Logitech Gaming Software the RGB lighting defaults to an aggressive rainbow effect. You can turn the lighting off completely with one of the buttons but then the keys are really hard to see in low light.
    – Non-RGB LEDs for the Media keys (blue), M-keys (orange) and MR-key (red).
    – The ARX Dock Release is simply awful!

    Brilliant keyboard but it's not perfect with a few annoyances

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersFirst thing you notice is the weight, this thing feels sturdy before you get it out of the box.
    Once unpacked an on the desk, it’s not going anywhere without being deliberately moved (Unless you’re a really angry aggressive keyboard abusing gamer).
    The keys are easy to depress, responsive and give the satisfying click of the mechanical switches.
    RGB adds to the look but also the functionality. You can assign a different colour to each key if you really want to, or use one of the downloadable profiles that have been created for various games and applications already.
    Profiles can be set to automatically change when a specific game or application is active which can be really handy in highlighting frequently used keys (WSAD in FPS games for example).
    It also has some other effects out of the box, like colour cycle, screen sample (which will try to match the key colours to the colours on the screen) and Audio Visualizer (which basically turns the keyboard into a graphic equalizer).

    Golden Review Award: 14 From Our UsersHaving gone through many keyboards in recent years, trying to find my the best all round keyboard for me, this is the one that I would hands down recommend as the best all around mechanical keyboard – the only caveat being the switches and personal tastes in this area.

    My favourite characteristics are:
    -Dedicated media keys and scroll wheel volume control
    -9 macro keys
    -3 profiles for the macros
    -Stable customisation software compared to the competition
    -Comfortable keycaps for typing on and clearly marked
    -Built like a complete tank
    -Phone dock (use this all the time!!!)

    A flaw in many of the competing products at the moment I feel is the amount of effort being put into making it a ‘gaming’ keyboard, or a ‘professional’ keyboard. The ASUS ROG Claymore looks like it is being built to military spec to take into war, and it and other similar boards use fonts that look like they have just come out of the latest Sci Fi series on Netflix or something. I personally hate having to rely on a Fn modifier key to enable me to change the volume of my computer with my keyboard, or play and pause songs, so Ducky is out of the question. Though Das Keyboard has a keyboard with a sensible aesthetic that could be fit for the workplace and at home, whilst maintaining most of the media functions that I look for, it is lacking the macro area that is seemingly only found on a ‘gaming’ board.

    Customisability of the keyboard interface, be that colours or key functions, is easily achieved with the Logitech G software, with it being stable on both my Windows and macOS computers, something that I have had problems with in the past with Corsair and Razer. I switch between playing games occasionally, typing out long segments of text, and doing CAD work, and having the ability to add a macro in for a specific command line in AutoCAD that is either easily forgettable, or buried within other commands is great. This macro key then pro-actively switching over to sending out a specific ping in Battlefield or League is then very useful. For on the fly customisation, or where you are using a computer that you are unable to install the software on, at work for example, the macro record function and the in built memory mean that you are still able to change the functions of the G keys as and when desired, without being locked into a software suite.

    It isn’t perfect – the switches are not quite as ‘magical’ as Cherry Blues for example, though I prefer them to Browns, and the aesthetic is still undeniably more ‘gamer’ like than the Ducky or Das alternatives. But these are small points – the switches are still a total joy to use, Blues are fun sounding and feeling, hence why I like to type on them, but the Romer switch is quieter and almost as tactile, with minimal travel distance, making it a better suited switch for the workplace if you are in an office with other people around. The lights can be turned off as well, leaving you with a board that is larger than conventional boards through all the extra functionality and buttons on the panel, but without looking out of place as much as ASUS or Corsair alternatives might.

    If you can look past these subjective weaknesses, and want something with all the functions with little compromise, this is definitely worth a look at!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersExcellent keyboard, yes it’s pricey but IMO it’s worth every penny. I upgraded from a G213, i only had the G213 a couple of months and realized my mistake in not getting a mechanical model. To type on even out of the box this keyboard is amazing, i literally needed no practice at all on using it and i could type on it as if id been using the keyboard months. I did however pick this keyboard up for 80, it was on black Friday sale and I also had a ten pound voucher sent from amazon because they previously missed a prime next day delivery order. So all in all i got a bargain with this.

    The app i would say is a novelty and don’t use it, but if you wanted a phone dock then it’s here for you on the keyboard. The RGB customisation is endless.. really nice in comparison to the G213 and a lot brighter. Overall the keyboard feels premium and I think it would even be worth the logitech RRP of 150.

    The key switches are really nice too, I’ve used razers mechanical switches and all in all I believe these to be better.

    I imagine the pro to be similar in comparison to this but it has no number pad and I just can’t do without one (not sure why) i just like to have a number pad.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersWhen I received my G910 Orion spectrum I was very pleased with the cool spot UV boxing and carefully packaged contents. Opening it I was filled with a sense of wonder and joy usually not experienced by 31 year old men, but small children on the day before Christmas.
    I eagerly slotted the USB into my computer and placed the keyboard neatly on the desk in front of me… Moments later, My desk was filled with light! A wonder to behold, the keys lit up like the Aurora Borealis. Light dancing across the letters in a merry jig that could’ve lasted for minutes or hours. I was aghast, unable to speak for some time – how could a keyboard do this!? What sort of sorcery would allow for the individual lighting of a single key in any colour I could imagine!? I had to know.
    Months passed, I studied the G910 with quiet awe, hoping to unlock its secrets, so that maybe I could harness the power of the keys for myself and my progeny. But alas, my incantations and investigations were a failure. Yet more time, frustration setting in, causing me to become a hermit, living off only what I could find or scavenge. Eating sparsely, my mind consumed with the inner workings of the keys!
    One day, I put it all on the line, the tension becoming too much for any man. If I couldn’t crack it with sorcery, I must take it to the next level, risking everything, especially my years warranty… I sheepishly opened it…
    A bolt from the blue green and red! To my amazement, upon removing the sturdy and rugged back plastic cover, I discover a portal to another world! “So that’s how Logitech did it” I find myself crying aloud! A world of colour and light. An inexpressible world that pulled me in like gravity. For the next year I spent my time wandering in the gold and violet haze of this new world, pwning n00bs, merc-ing chumps, and owning campers… Some of the happiest times of my life.

    All that being said, the Arx dock part of this is basically a crappy bit of plastic that I see very little point to. Doesn’t even charge your phone. The Arx app doesn’t work on my phone platform anyway. They could’ve put more G keys where the dock is, or a light show. Anything is better than a tiny blue shelf that only supports your phone if it’s perfectly level on a desk. So dispite the portal, there is one issue with it.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersI like the feel of the keyboard and the functionality is excellent. But I am docking one star because of the ridiculous wrist rest. It is a cheap plastic thing that is not adjustable. This wouldn’t matter if it were completely detachable, so that I could use my own wrist rest with it, but it isn’t. There is a an entirely pointless piece of plastic framework sticking out at the front that prevents the user from placing their own wrist rest next to the keyboard. I have had to resort to taking a hacksaw to this in order to remove it. Logitech, if you read this, please pass this on to your design team. A keyboard should either A – have no wrist rest at all (this would be my preference), or B – if you feel you must include a wrist rest, make sure it is detachable.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersAfter the logitech gaming software simple fix for 4k displays, I thought I’d plump for this keyboard, at under 100 it seems like good value, although I guess a newer version is on the horizon
    I’m not a hardcore gamer but a gaming enthusiast none the less.

    First impressions were a little bit disappointing as far as build quality, it is a plastic device so stability not on a par with some of the heavyweight keyboards out there but certainly more stable than most. In particular the volume control roller doesn’t exude a feel of quality, being rather loose and free-wheeling… still, kudos for the fact it’s on the keyboard in the first place, it is very useful. The hardwired usb cable doesn’t appear to be of a particularly durable construction and neither is the palm rest.

    The roamer g keys are surprisingly easy to get used to, positive but not annoyingly loud… it’s a keyboard that just feels right when typing.

    I’m not one for flashing led displays but I do like subtle illuminated colour coded keyboard sections, and this is where the G910 shines (sorry!). The logitech gaming software is fairly easy to use and I had quickly set up the specific keys to colours of my choice, often using my own custom colours at reduced brightness. I’ve seen reviews complaining about no brightness control for the illumination, and it’s true there’s not a single brightness control, but you can reduce brightness by adding black to the colour choice.

    The macro G keys proved an initial problem, but after following advice to reinstall the logitiech gaming software, they worked as advertised.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersGreat keyboard.

    I had to replace my old keyboard (also Logitech G600 or something like that) as I just wanted to.
    I was testing Corsair K95 RGB LED, (Cherry Brown MX) unfortunately LEDs start failing after just 3 days ! (I loved the sound of key hitting aluminium bottom, loved huge amount of programmable keys, lighting, hated failing LEDs and awful software that was constantly freezing (tested on 2 laptops and 1 workstation (Win 7 / Win 10)).

    This keyboard maybe doesn’t offer a same feeling as superb Corsair K95, but it is much nicer than other membrane keyboard, offers good quality lights (not so bright as on K95 and not so many cool effects like on K95), has nice keys but what is the most important, the software is pretty much rock solid from all programmable keyboards (Logi is semi programmable as you can only program few programmable keyboards, most of their competitors can program and re-map all keys).

    Maybe once or twice a week I have to reset the Logitech software (I am working as software engineer so often leave workstation in sleep, most likely you wouldn’t have the issues with the software once-twice a week if you would shutdown your PC), but pretty much I can work with it without a trouble (K95 had a constant issues and had to fight sometimes few times a day. When you’ll working on software your time is too valuable to spend 10-15 minutes on software issues with your keyboard as you’ll loose way more money than keyboard is worth in just few days).

    So if you are making money on your PC and you cannot afford to loose your money (time) on fighting with driver/software, need a good quality semi-mechanical keyboard, then this one will be perfect for you.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersThe G910 Orion Spectrum keyboard has all the fonds to be one of the best keyboards in the market but unfortunetally it can’t get still 5 stars.

    Keys:
    The G910 keyboard uses logitech’s Romer-G switches. These are logitech custom made keys. They are pretty silent (for me this is pretty good but some might want the keys to make a crispier sound) and are very responsive. It takes some time to get used of them but after a while they feel pretty good. I have tried both for gaming and typing and I really liked them.

    ARX dock release:
    It is just a place to rest your smarthone or tablet. It doesn’t connect to the keyboard but you can download the logitech gaming app and see some info for your pc. I haven’t really find it to useful. you can just put your phone right next to the keyboard.

    Special Keys:
    The G910 is a full – key keyboard. It also has keys for media control and nine gaming keys that you can customize depending your needs. It also has keys with which you can use to save profiles so you can change instantly. I don’t think that it lacks of any keys.

    RGB lighting:
    One of the most important factors (after the key switches) to buy an expensive keyboard is the lighting. The lights are very well distribute in each key and are pretty nice to see. There are some profiles that can only be changed through the logitech software and many more that you can make yourself since the keys are fully customizable. I didn’t like that you can’t change the brightness of the keys and I erally didn’t like tht the media keys have the standard blue colour and this can’t change. It is really anoying to have a red setup and only have these blue keys… Also if you have a logitech gaming mouse (lige g502 or g402) you can sync the colour effects of the keyboard and the mice.

    For the end I have left the only major flaw that I see. Th g910 logo light that the keyboard has at the bottom has lost some of its brightness after a month of use.
    As a final thought I think it is a pretty good keyboard but it is too expencive. I think that if someone finds it in an offer ( I bought it black friday with 50% discount) and wants a pretty good mechanical keyboard with nice lighting effects this is the one to buy.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersExceptional keyboard. I have never had a mechanical keyboard before, so this is my first time using one. I have to admit that it needed a bit of getting used to, as I game a lot and had to adjust to the feel of this keyboard.
    However, the key strokes are not as loud as some other mechanical keyboards (I’ve seen a few my friends own) but the keys feel sturdy and easy to use.
    My only small nag is about the side programmable keys, G1 to G5. They are preset to some commands, for example I have touched a few by mistake (I have large hands) and it refreshed my internet page, went back, and also jumped out of my game.
    Again, this can be easily fixed by disabling these keys (I usually don’t use shortcut keys a lot).
    The RGB keys are truly awesome, and the keyboard is beutiful. Even the G910 logo in the palm rest changes colour!
    All in all, absolutely fantastic piece of kit, and I ahve always been a fan of Logitech, as I owned a few other mouse and keyboards from them over the years (Had my current G700 mouse for over 4 years now, still working like a charm) and I’m sure they are a trusted brand with quality equipments.
    P.S: I probably will never use the docking station on the keyboard for my phone, as I pretty much don’t care for it.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersAfter being a membrane-keyboards user ever since, I decided to go for my first mechanical keyboard and I really wanted to go “all in” about it so I picked this one. (I also considered G810 but since there is no wrist wrest and no easily reachable macro keys I went for G910).
    Using it 4th day and I don’t have a single reasonable complain about it. The keyboard feels durable and sturdy, keycaps have this matte feeling and exceptionally good positioning. The g-Romer mechanism is uber-responsive in games and in typing alike. Lighting effects are gorgeous and the software didn’t cause any troubles at all. I also confirm this is the G910 newer version Orion Spectrum, not Orion Spark with shaped caps.
    The Arx app is actually pretty good and informative. I won’t really make any use of it, but if you have some hardware issues and want to fast-check your PC health, instead of installing some crappy software from the internet, you simply put your phone into the socket – it’s pretty neat.

    If I had to be picky – I’m having a small issue with the top right music forward button – it doesn’t react when I press it normally, I need to firmly press its left side for the function to activate.

    All in all, superior keyboard to any other high-end peripherial I’ve tested in stores. It’s only competitor seems to be Corsair K95, and even G810 is far behind.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThe Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum RGB Mechanical Keyboard is a seriously swanky top-of-the-range customisable keyboard for the dedicated gamer. Ergonomically it’s fantastic if you’re spending a long time on it – the wrist rest is exactly right for me – and it is well balanced for on-knee use! The keys are easy to press – it’s great for long typing jobs, not just gaming, although being mechanical (each key has a spring under it) it is quite noisy once you get typing fast – and very responsive as you would expect from such a premium model.

    While I find it rather blinding, the keyboard has a feature in which it lights it really beautifully, with a range of 16 million colours, apparently! This is customisable via the Logitech Gaming Software downloadable from the Logitech website, with additional features available on a compatible smartphone or tablet via something called ‘ARX control’. There is a pull-out dock on the back of the keyboard to hold said device if you are using it as a second screen during a game. I haven’t been able to test this as my equipment is unfortunately incompatible. The keyboard comes with a 6ft USB cable, so is long enough for most situations.

    The keyboard itself is plug and play with systems from Windows Vista up, and the control software will also function with Vista upwards, despite the product page on the Logitech website saying Windows 7,8 and 10 only.

    Using the Gaming Software, one can program the keyboard with 27 custom functions for MMORPGs etc, and there are media controls on the right hand side of the keyboard, including a useful roller bar for volume up/down. There is also an on/off button for the lighting effects, which is a mercy, as they’re beautiful but gosh they’re bright! Very useful for using the control software to make individual keys light up so you can find them quickly during a game, of course, it’s less of a shock to the retina if there are only a few keys illuminated at once.

    Clearly a luxury product, but well worth it for the serious gamer. I have attached a video of the disco light effect you get when you first turn it on, just to show the brightness and range of colours. The dog is not included.
