The Logitech G710+, on the other hand, is specifically geared toward gamers. With its approach to illuminating keys, you'll never lose track of WASD when playing late into the night. Oh, and yes -- it feels pretty great to type with.

Once you get properly acquainted with a mechanical keyboard, the device becomes an extension of your hands and fingers. The lack of resistance required to press down individual keys means you can in all likelihood type faster than you'll be able to think up cohesive sentences. For gaming, particularly when it comes to competitive titles, input speed can obviously be the deciding factor.

A mech Logitech keyboard?
Well, now I've seen everything. tongue.gif

This is on my to-buy list... Seems to be a legitimately good mechanical keyboard.
I will be getting rid of that horrendous orange color though...

How long did it take for the backlights to go out? I was planning keeping mines stock for the first 30 days before I decide to void the warranty and color the orange to black...

If a manufacturer could do this kind of layout with a mechanical keyboard I'd buy one in a heartbeat. I get that mechanical keyboards are better for FPS (faster poll rate, multi key support etc), but I still hate the WASD layout on keyboards for FPS gaming.
