Never let it be said that Logitech doesn't listen to its fans. The company's last few gaming keyboards have made use of its proprietary Romer-G mechanical switches. While they're fine switches, if you didn't like the feel, you were out of luck.

Authentic Cherry MX keys; Cheaper than full RGB keyboards; Discrete media control buttons

No Blue or Green options; Lighting effects seem superfluous; Feels like a stripped-down G810

An outstanding mechanical keyboard for both the gaming room and the office.

Whether playing to win or just for enjoyment, you need the appropriate tools in order to succeed in the competitive gaming arena.

A little while ago I reviewed Logitech's new G810 Orion Spectrum keyboard . I loved it, I gave it a full whack of score-stars plus an award. For exactly the same reasons the newer G610 Orion Brown received identical accolades.

Although they pack few fancy features, Logitech's G610 Orion Red and Brown keyboards offer simple, reliable performance that mechanical keyboard enthusiasts will appreciate.

The G610 Orion deploys familiar Cherry MX key switch technology in a smart, understated design. It marks a departure from other recent Logitech gaming products: those have been brighter and more outlandish, and they've also relied on Logitech's own proprietary mechanical switches.

Cherry MX Red switches; Media keys included; Smart and sturdy design

Limited macro functionality; Occasional typing inconsistencies; No USB passthrough

When reviewing a gaming keyboard it is incredibly difficult to actually benchmark a keyboard in some way to say whether or not you have a good or bad keyboard from a score that is accrued through various tests.

I bought this keyboard for the "Cherry Switches" and the key back lighting. Having used it for a week, I really feel I should have looked further (and maybe saved some money).

A good, solid keyboard thanks to the Cherry Switches; Nice action and movement; Both sides of the keyboard have "CTRL", "Windows" and "ALT" which is nice, but you have to get use to the no standard layout to take advantage of them

1) In order to be stylish, Logitech put the upper case keys "under" the normal keys, So + is under =, not above it; 2) You need to d/l the Logitech Gaming Software, even if you don't play games.
