Logitech G512 RGB Mechanical Keyboard

First off, this is a great keyboard at a much higher value than the recently released g815/915. I got the opportunity to try both Clicky and Tactile switch versions of this board side-by-side for a couple days. Both versions have a solid, quality build throughout and support all the same features. That said, there are several differences I wanted to share: Clicky: -The switches have a very distinct sound and feel at the point of actuation -Features a non-braided dual-USB cord -All special characters and secondary key function icons are unlit on the keycaps -The underside of all keycaps glow (and this makes a noticeable difference in a dark room, but is not necessarily bad) -Finally, the aluminum body is more of a black color with a silver 'G' logo -($49 at the time of this review) Tactile: -The switches produce a more typical (almost plastic dome switch) sound while typing but feature a decent key 'bump' at the point of actuation. -Features a higher-quality braided dual-USB cord -All secondary key functions and special characters are lit -The underside of the keycaps are opaque and no light shines through -Finally, the aluminum body is more of a grey/silver color with a black/reflective 'G' logo -($99 at the time of this review) Now for my personal take on the typing and gaming experience of each board. I found the clicky switches to be extremely pleasant to type on from day one, but also annoyingly high-pitched and loud. The responsiveness is amazing and the audible feedback is unmistakable. There's no doubt you fired the key. But in my case, it was just too much. I like my keyboards loud and obnoxious but this one was constantly distracting me from the game and I never became so immersed that I lost awareness of it. So, I opted to try the tactile switches. I was surprised to see the numerous changes from the last board to this one, but my first impression upon use was disappointment. The key noise is much more muted than I'm used to and the keys feel almost mushy compared to the clicky board. But after using it for several hours I've adapted and now I prefer this board to the other. The 'bump' is enjoyable and I can now use my computer late at night without waking up the house! (I'm coming from a FILCO Majestouch mechanical KB that I've used for about 10 years, for reference.) Other than that, both boards have exactly the same features and are equally supported by the Logitech 'G Hub' software for custom key assignments and 'Lightsync' RGB settings (which are really cool!) I think the board you most prefer will simply come down to personal preference, but the tactile board being twice the price is a huge factor.
