The keyboard is often an overlooked piece of hardware, let alone is it considered to be the centerpiece of your gaming rig. The Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum mechanical keyboard, however, is no average keyboard. The moment you get your hands on one you’ll instantly know why it sets a new bar for high-performance keyboards built from the ground up for gamers.
The thing that immediately stands out about the G810 is its dazzling RGB backlighting. This isn't your run-of-the-mill backlighting. Each key features a surface-mounted LED combined with a Swiss-designed lens designed to deliver clean, focused light with minimal leakage, from a spectrum of 16.8 million colors.
That's just the start, though. Add Logitech Gaming Software to the mix and the G810 truly comes to life, enabling you to choose your own level of customization. With Logitech Gaming Software, you can select and personalize each individual key light, setting up the keyboard to suit your mood, and you can even use it to unleash amazing animated displays: go for a burst of rainbow light, or a more subtle twinkling starfield effect.
Pre-loaded with profiles for over 300 top games, Logitech Gaming Software makes it easy to set up your keyboard to match whatever game you're playing, lighting up the keys you need and leaving the others unlit, so you're never left stabbing in the dark when you need to unleash a little-used command or spell. You can even use it to synchronize lighting effects with other Logitech G devices.
Whether you want to grandstand with animated flourishes or stick to a subtle, low-key lighting effect, it's the perfect way to make your system stand out. And there's a lot more to the G810 than amazing looks, too.
Designed by Logitech to provide a smarter and superior experience for gamers, the G810 is built to provide best-in-class performance that can actually help you play better. The secret lies in its Romer-G mechanical switches, which feature actuation points 25 percent shorter than standard mechanical switches, so they respond to every key press faster than other keyboards.When milliseconds can mean the difference between defeat and victory, you'll be grateful for the added performance.
You'll also be grateful for the G810's custom button macros on F1-F12. Using Logitech Gaming Software you can quickly set up intricate command sequences and then access them instantly, blasting out killer combos with minimum fuss and turning the game in your favor. And no matter how many keys you press at once, the G810 will keep track of them. It features a 26-key rollover that means you'll always get the results you intended. You can forget about accidentally jabbing the Windows key and dropping out of the game. The G810 dedicated Game Mode button will enable you to deactivate the Windows key, and with Logitech Gaming Software, you can also disable any other key you want.
Add to this easy-access dedicated media controls and a three-step angle adjustment so that you can position the G810 for maximum comfort, and you can see why this is one serious piece of gaming hardware. It's built to last – and tested to 70 million keystrokes – and unlike most mechanical keyboards, it comes at a wallet-friendly price.
The Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum will set you back just $159.99, complete with free delivery, so there's no need to wait until you've saved up. Your gaming rig deserves one, and so do you.
