New Keyboard is nice
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.

I prefer Logitech K800 920-002359 Y-R0065 Wireless Illuminated Keyboard and M525 wireless mouse with unified receiver.

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.

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).
