One problem that lots of mechanical switch keyboards have is that to fit in the switches they need to be quite tall so it’s particularly important to have a good typing posture and wrist rest. You’ll need to plug in the second USB plug on the main cable to enable this. On the back edge is a spare USB port – the cable is tethered. On the bottom are four large rubber pads to stop the keyboard sliding around as well as the obligatory flip up legs for creating a steeper typing angle – there’s only one level of adjustment here, unlike some keyboards that offer two lengths of leg. Indeed, Logitech even shows on its website the keyboard functioning after being run over with a tank. There’s the slightest bit of flex if you press down hard in the centre of the keyboard but in use it’s as solid as a rock. Nonetheless it’s a well put together bit of kit, despite it being all plastic. It’s certainly a far cry from the brushed aluminium simplicity and premium feel of Corsair’s K-series keyboards. Its angular shape, multitude of logos and combination of grey and black plastics - with a flash of orange surrounding the ‘G’ keys - is all very ‘gamer’ oriented but not what you could really call stylish. One area where the G710 perhaps lets itself down is its overall design. Coming in at around £140 it may seem outrageously expensive just for a keyboard, but then it really does deliver. The G710 is Logitech’s current flagship gaming keyboard, so plays host to a multitude of programmable keys and multimedia controls as well as so called ‘mechanical’ keyswitches for longer life and a better key action.
