New Keyboard is nice

Question

I got this new (LED lighted) keyboard, and it is pretty-nice for 100 bucks. Just thought I would let yall know (in case anyone was thinking of upgrading to something like this). It is heavy and feels solid. Mechanical keys feel and sound fine (not super-clicky or loud). Use their (Unified) Settings App to make easy changes to colors, etc.  Not sure why this pic came-out kinda-lame (maybe because I left the room-lights dim). The colors look fine in person. The ones used here are Light-Blue, Orange, Yellow, Red, Purple, Green, Dark-Blue. I think because of LED technology in general (color temperature) , White looks similar to Light-Blue, so didn't use White (but you can if you want).  I like contrasting colors. The App also lets you 'temporarily kill' the Windows-Keys while gaming (and I chose to keep them dark). This config is what we use for World of Warcraft.

Been working great. We really like it. The Romer-G mechanical switches are made with Omron's help.

It includes the Logitech Gaming Software. It works on any Windows computer and serves as a unified settings app for all your recent model Logitech peripherals (mice, headsets, etc.).

This keyboard replaces our previous "gaming keyboard" that was bought back in 2012 for $60. It was the same brand (but an older model with just regular keys). It lasted for 9 years (of constant use).

Thanks for the alternate recommendation.

Looks like your standard wireless keyboard with the "low-profile keys". Being Logitech, I'm thinking the quality and feel is probably pretty good. However, it likely has a "membrane" instead of mechanical keys.

Wireless mice I understand (like for a laptop) but only time I really use a wireless-keyboard on a stationary Win-Tel desktop is when it's a HTPC and I'm using the keyboard on the coffee-table. And even then, I've found that it's "wireless radio technology" needs to be 2.4ghz-frequency based or the range and latency isn't acceptable.at 6-10 ft.

Interesting. You kids and your new-fangled wireless gadgets.

But he said it can't do 4K @ 60Hz HDR, so that would not really be appropriate for a nice home-theater.

Personally, I like wires. Wires make things work. My office and residences use structured wiring systems. Routers, managed ethernet switches, high-quality thick-gauge HDMI wire to projector, all desktop computers and media centers are wired ethernet CAT-5e/6 wires, PoE security cams, wired alarm, etc.

Around here, the only things that use WiFi are portable devices that need it ... like laptops, iPads, phones, etc.
