00:00:00,089 --> 00:00:06,899
when I first started working with Linus in 2011 that dates this whole thing a

2
00:00:04,950 --> 00:00:10,590
little bit I'm a little old I was a major keyboard fan boy if you check out

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,170
this video Linus shows off my old mineral oil rig a big part of the reason

4
00:00:12,450 --> 00:00:17,910
I got the job I'm literally working right now in that

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:22,619
video he shows off a customized keyboard that I had loved actually I still love

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,119
it and it's still my daily driver I recently made a video fixing it which

7
00:00:24,630 --> 00:00:32,489
can be found up here as well since then however the whole computer hardware

8
00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:34,739
industry has gone absolutely insane over

9
00:00:32,489 --> 00:00:39,930
keyboards the number of new keyboards on the market is nuts and it's more than a

10
00:00:38,070 --> 00:00:45,360
little bit confusing and overwhelming for instance newegg.com

11
00:00:42,210 --> 00:00:48,780
has twelve hundred and twenty products

12
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,879
listed under gaming keyboards oh my god

13
00:00:48,780 --> 00:00:55,289
and there's only so many times you can make a video on a keyboard that has

14
00:00:52,860 --> 00:01:00,690
willed yes Cherry MX switches most likely in the brown or red variety and

15
00:00:57,420 --> 00:01:02,969
some form of backlighting but just in

16
00:01:00,690 --> 00:01:08,250
case you do happen to miss those I've got two of them here today the G 610

17
00:01:05,610 --> 00:01:13,830
Orion with Cherry MX brown switches and the G 610 Orion with cherry MX red

18
00:01:11,790 --> 00:01:19,229
switches or if your tastes are a little more Japanese than German we have the G

19
00:01:16,350 --> 00:01:23,549
810 Oh Ryan spectrum a fully RGB keyboard that features Romer G switches

20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:29,610
and its little spunky brother the ten keyless g4 ten Atlas spectrum featuring

21
00:01:26,460 --> 00:01:31,229
full RGB and romaji switches with all of

22
00:01:29,610 --> 00:01:34,310
that out of the way let's check out some keyboards shall we

23
00:01:40,650 --> 00:01:47,619
let's start with the most interesting keyboard that would probably be the g8

24
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:52,330
ten Oh Ryan spectrum back in 2014 lioness made a video about the G 910 and

25
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:57,580
had a lot to say about the Romer G switches a lot of his messaging which I

26
00:01:54,369 --> 00:01:59,320
actually completely agree with as him

27
00:01:57,580 --> 00:02:04,090
pointing out things like the shorter more gaming oriented actuation distance

28
00:02:01,540 --> 00:02:10,030
and the raw performance of the switch itself both of which are absolutely

29
00:02:07,299 --> 00:02:16,080
awesome he also points out that the feeling may not quite be as satisfying

30
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:20,110
as a Cherry MX which due to the mushy compression feeling of bottoming them

31
00:02:18,220 --> 00:02:24,519
out that last point is something I would like to address while I completely agree

32
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:30,160
that they feel mushy to bottom out and I'm definitely someone who bottoms out

33
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:33,040
his keys if you force yourself to not

34
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:38,170
bottom the switches out and just press them to slightly beyond the actuation

35
00:02:36,250 --> 00:02:42,820
point which is technically as far as you need to go and is technically the best

36
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:47,620
way to do it they actually feel pretty great super responsive sweeper fast

37
00:02:45,340 --> 00:02:52,450
wonderful switches not for me personally because I slam my fingers down and

38
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:58,510
bottom out keys like a dummy but if you can control your key presses better and

39
00:02:55,329 --> 00:03:00,850
half press this may be great for you

40
00:02:58,510 --> 00:03:06,280
the biggest complaint Linus had and one of the biggest complaints the community

41
00:03:02,739 --> 00:03:07,900
as a whole had was their key caps they

42
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:12,640
did some super weird stuff with those but as the problem is solved on the g

43
00:03:10,359 --> 00:03:16,930
810 i won't focus on it anymore i'll just leave it with the problem is solved

44
00:03:15,310 --> 00:03:21,609
how did they do this well they use standard style key caps that's it

45
00:03:20,079 --> 00:03:25,239
thanks for being humble logitech that was exactly what people wanted and you

46
00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:29,260
delivered that's all there is to say besides all that it features 26 key

47
00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:34,090
rollover which should be more than enough for anyone other than that one

48
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:38,590
dude who finds it really entertaining to see how many inputs he can have when he

49
00:03:36,519 --> 00:03:43,299
tries to attempt typing on the keyboard with his entire butt but it's probably

50
00:03:40,930 --> 00:03:47,800
fine it also features three step angle adjustment for your varying keyboard

51
00:03:44,950 --> 00:03:51,459
angle and height needs five large rubber feet on the bottom to keep it from

52
00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:54,310
sliding around some rather controversial media

53
00:03:52,330 --> 00:03:59,770
roll buttons because they're circles not squares I personally don't really care

54
00:03:57,730 --> 00:04:04,030
but have seen a number of comments about them so just be aware of that

55
00:04:01,660 --> 00:04:08,320
my biggest remark on the media Keys is that they feel actually pretty great to

56
00:04:05,830 --> 00:04:12,880
press their super tactile and responsive making them feel kind of like the keys

57
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:16,570
you expect to feel on a receiver which is kind of cool considering their media

58
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:20,500
functions the build quality is great with what must be some form of metal

59
00:04:18,790 --> 00:04:25,840
plate running through the body making it feel very sturdy and solid and it comes

60
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:29,830
with the Logitech Gaming software that you were probably expecting for me to

61
00:04:27,580 --> 00:04:35,020
bring up like right now which allows you to intricately macro bind different keys

62
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:39,190
on your keyboard mainly the F keys a lovely light control which I must say it

63
00:04:37,660 --> 00:04:42,280
looks awesome on these keyboards because of the romaji light stem it looks very

64
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:46,870
nice and diffused and whatnot customizable gaming mode button and a

65
00:04:44,380 --> 00:04:50,110
key press heat map which is actually super cool I like that kind of stuff the

66
00:04:48,730 --> 00:04:54,850
only thing really lacking from this keyboard in my opinion is an included

67
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:59,020
wrist rest most of its competitors have one it feels a bit lacking in that

68
00:04:56,620 --> 00:05:02,890
department I know the previous wrist rest wasn't winning a ton of awards

69
00:05:00,730 --> 00:05:07,630
people didn't like the gaming only half of it really being their style but they

70
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:13,090
could have included something the G 410 atlas spectrum despite its name is in a

71
00:05:10,510 --> 00:05:17,169
smaller ten keyless package but other than that is is much of the same it

72
00:05:15,310 --> 00:05:21,880
doesn't seem to contain a metal plate and feels kind of flimsy and light which

73
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:25,630
I wasn't a fan of largely again because I bought him out keys like a dummy so I

74
00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:29,620
don't know if that means much to you the awesome lighting the romaji switches the

75
00:05:27,850 --> 00:05:34,000
more standardized key caps all of those were there and it does include a wrist

76
00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:39,190
rest but it's the gaming wrist rest that the G 9/10 had so you may not be super

77
00:05:37,030 --> 00:05:44,950
interested in that or you will that's fine too the other two keyboards both bearing the

78
00:05:41,470 --> 00:05:46,840
name g6 10 Orion are basically the g8 10

79
00:05:44,950 --> 00:05:52,060
but with only backlighting for white colors cherry brown and cherry red MX

80
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:55,780
switches respectively and that's about all there is to say about them which

81
00:05:53,470 --> 00:06:00,040
isn't necessarily a bad thing it's fine it just kind of feels like eating a taco

82
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:04,240
versus nachos and seven-layer dip lots of the same ingredients but

83
00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:08,680
oriented in a slightly different way creating a different

84
00:06:06,490 --> 00:06:13,150
so there that's the current state of logitech keyboards hopefully knowledge

85
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:18,630
on these four gives you a better grasp on the apparently twelve hundred and

86
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:21,340
twenty currently available keyboards
