Computers right?
I mean, when you rid yourself of the shackles of being cooped up to a desk, they are the ultimate entertainment machine. Don't believe me? Well, what console can you use controllers for XBOX, Dreamcast, SNES, Genesis, Wii, Gamecube, Playstation 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, XBOX 360, XBOX One or the new Series X/S? Let alone any racing wheel setup as simple or complex as you want, a full plane cockpit, a mouse/keyboard, a plethora of flightsticks, whatever arcade joysticks you like, plus all the custom stuff.
But the desk and the wires right?
I've been on wireless gear for quite a while, as for the past 10 years, my PC/Laptop has been connected to a TV and I operate on a couch, desks are for working, unless of course I'm working from home.
Having been using a basic 10 year old Logitech keyboard, it was time for an upgrade. I was ready for an upgrade, and decided I wanted a mechanical keyboard. I was considering the Logitech G613, but the lack of a backlight killed it for me, though even a simple white backlight would have led me to save the 200$ and go with that one. That said...this keyboard is premium quality top to bottom. If you are a mechanical snob and fret over switches, well the keys could be hit or miss, but if you've been tooling around with a membrane keyboard all your life, this is nothing but glory. The satisfying snap of the keys when they bottom out and that instant feedback when your keystrokes register are fantastic.
As a keyboard that sits on my lap, I was primarily concerned with the lack of a wrist rest, and it's largely no big deal due to the low profile of the unit itself. It would have been nice to have....something, but I think I'm going to have to make my own custom lap pad, with an inset area to sink a rest in, as just about every wrist pad is going to be too thick to comfortably position my hands. This is probably my biggest complaint. The battery life is good so far, even with the RGB illumination, but that will decrease it. Keep it dim or off and you have a pretty solidly performing device, that you may have to charge every week or two (lights on). Having a mini USB cable instead of the USB C connection is a bit of a bummer, it would have been nice to just be able to throw my phone cable into the board and use it while charging, but that's just a small niggle.
The illumination options are good, and GHUB allows you to download more. I'm still figuring out the ins and outs of the software.
There are 5 macro keys on the left. I have not much use for these as of now, but maybe I will start to adapt to having them, i've just never really had macro keys, and have never really used, them. Despite reviews critical about the volume roller, I've found that while there is a lack of real tactile feedback, the volume meter on screen reacts instantly. If you have a slower computer I can see where it might show a delay, but that will largely come down to being a windows issue, maybe a LITTLE bit more resistance on it would have been nice, just to feel like I'm using a volume knob.
I was initially worried that the floating keys would feel flimsy, but compared to any membrane board I've ever used, they are in place and have a nice satisfying clack to them. I didn't get the clicky keys as they seem like they would be extremely annoying. The tactile has a nice natural thwack to them when you hit key bottom, with an audible click of the key bottoming out, without a tinny click that sounds to me, to be engineered in, and not a natural consequence of the technology. I cannot comment on how the linear keys feel. I do a mix of typing and gaming and this keyboard is a great balance for both. I also can't live without a number pad, but there is a tenkeyless option if you would rather not have it.
