Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum Keyboard

I am coming from a G710+, which I also have at work... I hate going between different keyboards, so I try to match. So I will compare mainly with that model in this review. My personal home G710+ started having keys stop working, which so far I have been able to fix with drops of alcohol, but it is very annoying having to do that. I thought mechanical keyboards were supposed to last, and last, and last. Never spilled anything on it, or mistreated it in any way. Also the spacebar is not depressing cleanly anymore, it kind of binds, and goes crooked unless you press it almost perfectly in the middle. Super annoying! And I couldn't fix it with alcohol, and I didn't want to use any kind of lubricant, although I guess I should have tried. The spacebar binding is the main reason I decided to replace the G710+, which I loved otherwise. I guess I cannot complain too much, my home G710+ was 6 years old, but I expected it to be the last keyboard I ever bought, to be honest. I really liked it. So far not a single problem at all with my work G710+, which is even older. Go figure. The entirely new Romer-G switches that the G910 uses makes it a different ballgame, hopefully with the redundant contacts, keys won't stop working, ever. And the keys do feel super smooth and responsive, so hopefully the spacebar never starts binding either. I see no reason to ever buy another keyboard as long as this one keeps working. I love it that much. I LOVE how they put the numbers and the symbols in the proper place, and that everything on every key is lit up. The G710+ had the symbols below the numbers, and the symbols were not lit up eg. none of the shift characters were lit up on any key on the G710+. Who thought those things were a good idea?! Terrible design decisions. I really like how Logitech keyboards are laid out, and I wanted a keyboard that feels similar enough to the G710+ that it wouldn't be annoying going back and forth, because I still use a G710+ at work. I am glad that the G910 exists, as I none of the other Logitech keyboards looked similar enough to the G710+ for me. This keyboard is similar enough that the muscle memory is not disturbed much going back and forth, so that is good, and the main reason I chose the G910, I wanted it to be as similar as possible. Yet it honestly feels even better than the G710+, but not so different that switching back and forth is annoying. The keys feel great when typing, and I can type incredibly fast with the G910. I think the switches in the G910 are definitely better than the G710+ in terms of typing feel. I am extremely happy with how the keyboard feels. And I am extremely happy with the keyboard in general. The G910 is a bit louder, with more of a hollow sounding thump, rather than the more clicky sound of the G710+. I think the sound will be subjective to most people. They are both on the loud side for a keyboard, as expected for a mechanical switch keyboard. But I think I prefer the sound of the G910. I love the RGB color control, and there are so many varied settings that I think it will make just about anyone happy! Plenty of custom options. I have been switching between them, and they are all fun. I currently have it set to the Echo Press preset, where it is a somewhat dim green, but when I press a key, it lights up to full brightness and then slowly fades back down. Makes for a cool effect. I wish I could save that particular setup as a custom setting, but for some reason you cannot save your changes to a preset. So if I change to a different setting and want to go back to the Echo Press, I have to set up my colors and timing all over again. Maybe I could replicate the Echo Press preset functionality in the Animations section, where I could save it as a permanent custom setting, but I have not tried yet. Please Logitech, let me save any changes I make as a custom setting! Even if it is based on a preset! As for the ARX dock. I see LOTS of comments saying it just a gimmick etc. But I actually love it! It is super nice putting my smartphone there. I use it all the time. I find that I have lots of use cases for having my phone for viewing something while I work, etc. Even though I have three screens already, it is still useful. I don't care that it is not an actual dock, just a place to put your phone. I absolutely love this feature! However, I do wish it held the phone a bit higher as with the iPhone swiping up from the bottom, which you have to do a lot, is kind of a pain. I have somewhat solved this by padding the dock to raise the phone up a bit, but I can only raise it up so much before it won't hold the phone securely anymore, and it is still not quite high enough to make swiping up completely easy. But at least I can swipe up at all, now. Overall conclusion. I love this keyboard! Hopefully it lasts, both for the key performance, and for the lighting. If it does, I think I have found my perfect keyboard.
