There rubber pads on the bottom of the keyboard aren't there to prevent the keyboard from scratching your desk, they're there to prevent the keyboard from slipping and moving around your desk when in use.
Still shit though :^) edit 3 years down the line: what the fuck? these switches are fine idk what i was on. im gonna leave my comments just to embarrass my future self lol
Pablo González Hermosilla keyboard wise, I use the HyperX Alloy. I moved from a Logitech keyboard which cost more, and the change from Roamer G switches to Cherry Mx Blues is very noticeable. I'm just speaking from experience.
Jec Look, i dont like the romer-g myself better than the cherry mx red, i use a k70 lux (because rapidfire feels like crap, and i had the money to buy it hahahaha). But saying its shit its simply not true, as i know of a lot of ppl who use romer-g switches and like it better than ChMX, because they feel faster and you dont need to press the key to the end to activate it, which is what i dont like precicely because i tend to use a lot of force when pressing keys, so they gey that mushy feeling everyone talks about. If you dont do what i do OR can get accoustomed to press ligthly (something i cant do because ive been pc gaming for more than 15 years and i just cant get rid of that habit), they are as good and arguably better than ChMx switches (or their knock offs). And ChMx blue suck for gaming, they are not fast enough.
Not sure why people seem to think Cherry MX and its clones are what mechanical switches are. There's Topre, Romer-G, and a few other obscure ones as well, this keyboard is in by no means rubber dome.
I was wondering if someone else ever noticed that about the review. I mean, just going to Logitech's product page would already tell you right on the header that these were mechanical switches. I just never knew that there was ever this misconception in the community that only Cherry MX or their clones are real mechanical switches.
Now I wouldn't necessarily say that, this is this man's living and I don't think he wouldn't take it so non-seriously, however it's easy to confuse not just misunderstand. Also considering most people only know of cherry mx it's understandable. That being said, if I was Logitech I'd be pissed, but he may have also misspoken. He has other Romer-G reviews not just this one, maybe he said it correctly in the other one.
Hey at least there is one company that can do RGB tastefully, without that awful backlight bleed like everyone else is doing right now. The problem is not being able to change the keycaps, since they're most likely gonna be very cheap ABS like every other gaming keyboard. Also FYI the Logitech switches are indeed mechanical, they do not "emulate" anything.
That "Joystick" looking button is and has always been known as Gaming Mode on all the G series keyboards that have ever had it, it hasn't always been a button though since it originally was a slider switch, what it basically does is it shuts down windows key as standard, you can make it shut down any other normal keys other than macros but this one doesn't have those anyway.
yes ! pretty much the same keyboard and more or less the same price and the master key pro s has a few more switch options . i have the masterkey pro s with brown switches and they have been great
4:31 Did you just state unironically that the keyboard isn't mechanical? You already had me wondering when you described the feel of these switches as trying to "emulate" the feel of mechanical switches. Frank, just because its not a Cherry MX or a clone switch doesn't mean its not a real mechanical switch! They feel different because they were designed that way, but I can assure you that there aren't any rubber domes or membranes in that keyboard.
Peter Parker A mistake that could’ve been easily avoided by doing a quick research on the product for like 3-5mins. It’s not that hard, it literally states in Logitech’s website that it’s a mechanical keyboard. All Frank cares about is pumping out videos despite what’s the content of it as evident in this video.
Don't you think there is enough of these comments already? Shut the hell up people already got the point across. He made a mistake if you don't like it then LEAVE.
Hearing him call out Romer-G switches for "Not being mechanical" frustrates me so badly, how can a tech reviewer have such a basic knowledge? Especially when in fact Romer-G switches are deemed to be better quality than any mx switch.
Honestly he might be wrong but shut the hell up. If you don't like it then LEAVE. because the people who want to enjoy it can't because of your loud mouth
@@nathanplayz8491 so wait... we can't give any sort of feedback? whenever someone says stupid shit we should watch the other way or leave? dude messed up, pretty big... but it's an honest mistake
To those who hate Romer-G switches, it all comes down to preference. I had both G610 with MX Red and G810 with Romer G side by side and i sticked to G810. For me, Romer-G is a better switch for typing and also it's good for gaming. They don't feel membrane at all and they are amazing when you get used to and manage to control your actuation force. I type way faster and more precisely on Romer-G than I did on MX Red. I don't say MX Red switches are bad, they simply are not for me.
i’ve had this keyboard for nearly 3 years now. while my switch preference has changed, that’s just a me thing. this board is amazing, and the only problem is that the rgb starts to become discolored on a lot of the keys, making it so that you cannot have switches be the same color. for example, if i make the keyboard blue rgb, it will be lots of shades of blue and sometimes even shades of green
Man interacted with romer g switches and got to say these are one of my favorite switches, its a good mix between brown and red. Brown switches tactile feel is a little too hard, while the red is way to smooth for me, this is the perfect medium. These keyboard are actually selling for more now since they are hard to find.
Exunary Corsair and Logitech keycaps are ABS so the quality is pretty much the same, if you want something decent take a keyboard from Ducky or Cooler Master
I have the G810 and it is a very well-made, solid keyboard. I, also, like that it's quiet for a mechanical. My only qualm is that there is no way to toggle the light modes without downloading the software. It would have been better without extra software necessary. But, I digress.
frank you have the best production quality, your videos look amazing and your reviews are damn good. Shoot, you are the reason why i got my cosair k70 lux, your awesome keep up the good work dude!
I really don't understand why you don't have millions of subscribers. Like, your videos are even better than some tech channels with millions. I just don't get it.
RomerG's are mechanical just like Steelseries's QS1 ... it just feels like MX Silent with orings. I prefer Razer Ornata, I would LOVE Logitech G Pro TKL with MX Speed switches, but if i could get a silent version of Razer Ornata i would totally go with that. Btw can you make a comparison on all of the "Danish made/Danish company mechanical keyboards like Steelseries?
Koi GI-GI not because it’s nit great I have a g810 which is basically the same thing and it’s great and all but when a press the keys it doesn’t feel clicky and it doesn’t feel mechanical so if you want to get a keyboard I recommend getting something like a Corsair k70 or k68 but this is my opinion
I constantly find incompetent "reviewers" that don't really research into the whole specs of the products they're "reviewing", but this guy gets the prize.
I believe it's highly overpriced. $130 is too much for a TKL. With such a standard design with no bells & whistles, in my opinion it shouldn't exceed $100.
I mean, no bells and whistles isn't a bad thing lol. I use a magicforce keyboard that has 68keys, is aluminum, backlit, with cherry mx browns. It's amazing and cost around $60. This keyboard is pretty much the same thing- a minimal approach... but the price is seriously inflated.
Eeeesh... Dude, it's not a good look when you don't even realise that the keyboard you're reviewing is mechanical. Your camerawork is top-notch, so congrats on that, but make sure you do your research next time.
Seems like Logitech is going wireless with its gaming peripherals like the g403 wireless, and now this. I think it's a cool direction, as long as there's no input lag and high costs to deal with it.
thats what i want to know i mean its not that hard to put them where they out the lighting and windows lock keys. my dream keyboard is a tkl logitech keyboard like this but with cherry blue switches are media keys with a wrist rest i mean is that so hard?
Haze Logitech G Pro is a lot better quality than Razer Blackwidow V2. I had the Razer one and after 1 month it broke. I am actually using Logitech G pro right now and it performs and feels very proffesional and comfortable.
Lyftis. The clay more is absolutely beautiful, but that just depends on the switch. I believe the clay more comes in reds or browns. You have to go test out the switches, see if there's a computer shop around or microcenter. I love mx speed and romer g's personally, having used reds for a while they somehow got boring real fast. I currently have the G810 orion spectrum (full key layout version of this basically), having previously (about a week ago) owned a corsair k70 rapid fire rgb. I love them both equally, but I currently prefer the G810 due to its simplicity.
Just because the keyboard doesn't have cherry switches doesn't mean the keyboard is not mechanical, the Romer G's are still a mechanical switch you know.
i honestly can't decide between this keyboard or razer black widow tournament edition, i'm coming from a steel series apex and it's a pretty big keyboard fits well with my big hands but i would love a tournament since they are compact and smaller. which should i go for?
It depends on which switch you like better, on a side note I like logitech better for typing the alleviated rows are annoying to type on (I had the razer blackwidow)
I just can't take this review seriously. He says "emulating that mechanical feel" over and over... Is just too lazy of a reviewer to don't reserch about (or read the box of...) the product he has in hand.
I feel ya, i just bought one on amazon when it was on sale, i wanted it for a long time but it was really expensive, but damn it was worth it. Amazing keyboard would 100% recommend!
List of key switches that mechanical: Cherry Gateron Outomu Matias Alps Romer G Ibm buckling spring ibm beam spring oki gouard spring nmb spave invaders Even the the god awful ti stack pole switches. So on, so forth.
If I buy this keyboard I will pair it with 2 different laptops. I want to know how quick it is at switching from one to another? Do I need to take the cable out from one and plug it into the other every time I wanna switch?
The extra price pays off with the software, I have used it for a while on my G502, rarely lags and able to automatically change profiles based on what app you use (not available in corsair or razer)
