I don't get it. I just recently bought the Orion G610, quite pleased with it. This is the same board, minus some keys and chassis length, yet it costs £50 more at RRP? Only other difference is I picked up a white backlight only model and this one is RGB.
Why is this MORE expensive?
Having said that I got MX browns, as opposed to Romer-G, and I'm not supporting a team which historically picks up great players and loses games anyway. Guess there's less money to recompense.
Looks nice but I'd prefer it to have cherry mx switches. Brown to be precise
I've read that Cherry MX are the best but is there really that big a difference? Is it reliability or usability?Quote:

Didn't think of that. A but like Bose in the AV market I suppose.Quote:

I've had to return several Logitech G810 keyboards because of the annoying ringing/pinging sound coming from the keys, even if you just gently stroke across a row. 'twas a really shame as well, since I really love the keyboard otherwise.
Ooo, a rectangular keyboard, so much innovation!
Pretty much, I doubt many people could tell the difference between switch manufacturers in use, provided you used the same 'colour' equivalents.Quote:

I prefer rectangle to octahedron.Quote:
