CONCLUSION

   I’ve had the opportunity to use and test several Logitech keyboards in the past and I have to say that the G19 is my favorite one, or at least it was up until the moment we got the G910 Orion Spark. It may not feature a LCD screen at the center like the G19 did (I was hoping it would) but thanks to the Arx Control Integration feature you can use your own smartphone and let’s face it, I doubt Logitech or any manufacturer would use a larger LCD screen in a keyboard than those used in smartphones. Build quality is actually very good although I think it’s obvious that the hard plastic body of the G910 may not be as durable as the aluminum one used with the G.SKILL RIPJAWS MX780 RGB mechanical keyboard which we reviewed last week. The Romer-G switches come very close to Cherry MX Brown ones so although soft and easy to press they also offer good audible feedback. Personally I’d like them a little bit harder to press like the Cherry MX Reds but since the Romer-G switches were designed to be faster I guess that was to be expected. Unfortunately Logitech didn’t place any passthrough USBs on the keyboard but their RGB illumination system is one of the best and more complete I’ve ever encountered with a keyboard, at least with the latest firmware update which we used to test it.

   Right now the G910 Orion Spark RGB Mechanical Keyboard by Logitech retails for USD129.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 146.85Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price which actually places it in the lower end of several similar feature-rich models. In the end it really comes down to personal preference but if you’ve been using another mechanical keyboard I really recommend checking out the Romer-G switches prior to purchasing the G910 since they are not exactly the same as Cherry MX ones. Overall however the G910 is almost exactly what we’d expect from a company like Logitech and well worth of our Platinum Award.
