Logitech G710+ Mechanical Keyboard and G600 MMO Mouse Review

Given just how long Logitech has been a vendor of all manner of desktop peripherals, it may come as a surprise that they've taken this long to release a keyboard with mechanical switches. Historically Logitech keyboards have employed membrane switches across the board, but Cherry MX mechanical switches have been picking up quite a bit of steam among enthusiasts lately. Mechanical keyboards are traditionally a fair sight more expensive than membrane-style keyboards owing to the spring-actuated switch in every single key, but the tactile feedback, durability, and overall comfort is undeniable. Consumers have largely spoken, and now Logitech is answering with the G710+.

At the same time, Logitech has also released an MMO-oriented mouse alongside growing ranks like Corsair's M90 and Razer's Naga. MMO mice are remarkable for including a staggering number of configurable buttons on the left side of the mouse, beneath the thumb, but with varying degrees of success. Ironically, with the G600, Logitech may very well have produced an MMO mouse so intuitive that its cavalcade of hotkeys could easily replace a more complex gaming keyboard.
