00:00:00.089 --> 00:00:06.899
when I first started working with Linus in 2011 that dates this whole thing a

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

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:13.170
this video Linus shows off my old mineral oil rig a big part of the reason

00:00:12.450 --> 00:00:17.910
I got the job I'm literally working right now in that

00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:22.619
video he shows off a customized keyboard that I had loved actually I still love

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:27.119
it and it's still my daily driver I recently made a video fixing it which

00:00:24.630 --> 00:00:32.489
can be found up here as well since then however the whole computer hardware

00:00:28.830 --> 00:00:34.739
industry has gone absolutely insane over

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

00:00:38.070 --> 00:00:45.360
little bit confusing and overwhelming for instance newegg.com

00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:48.780
has twelve hundred and twenty products

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:50.879
listed under gaming keyboards oh my god

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

00:00:52.860 --> 00:01:00.690
willed yes Cherry MX switches most likely in the brown or red variety and

00:00:57.420 --> 00:01:02.969
some form of backlighting but just in

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

00:01:05.610 --> 00:01:13.830
Orion with Cherry MX brown switches and the G 610 Orion with cherry MX red

00:01:11.790 --> 00:01:19.229
switches or if your tastes are a little more Japanese than German we have the G

00:01:16.350 --> 00:01:23.549
810 Oh Ryan spectrum a fully RGB keyboard that features Romer G switches

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:29.610
and its little spunky brother the ten keyless g4 ten Atlas spectrum featuring

00:01:26.460 --> 00:01:31.229
full RGB and romaji switches with all of

00:01:29.610 --> 00:01:34.310
that out of the way let's check out some keyboards shall we

00:01:40.650 --> 00:01:47.619
let's start with the most interesting keyboard that would probably be the g8

00:01:44.710 --> 00:01:52.330
ten Oh Ryan spectrum back in 2014 lioness made a video about the G 910 and

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

00:01:54.369 --> 00:01:59.320
actually completely agree with as him

00:01:57.580 --> 00:02:04.090
pointing out things like the shorter more gaming oriented actuation distance

00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:10.030
and the raw performance of the switch itself both of which are absolutely

00:02:07.299 --> 00:02:16.080
awesome he also points out that the feeling may not quite be as satisfying

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:20.110
as a Cherry MX which due to the mushy compression feeling of bottoming them

00:02:18.220 --> 00:02:24.519
out that last point is something I would like to address while I completely agree

00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:30.160
that they feel mushy to bottom out and I'm definitely someone who bottoms out

00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:33.040
his keys if you force yourself to not

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:38.170
bottom the switches out and just press them to slightly beyond the actuation

00:02:36.250 --> 00:02:42.820
point which is technically as far as you need to go and is technically the best

00:02:39.880 --> 00:02:47.620
way to do it they actually feel pretty great super responsive sweeper fast

00:02:45.340 --> 00:02:52.450
wonderful switches not for me personally because I slam my fingers down and

00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:58.510
bottom out keys like a dummy but if you can control your key presses better and

00:02:55.329 --> 00:03:00.850
half press this may be great for you

00:02:58.510 --> 00:03:06.280
the biggest complaint Linus had and one of the biggest complaints the community

00:03:02.739 --> 00:03:07.900
as a whole had was their key caps they

00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:12.640
did some super weird stuff with those but as the problem is solved on the g

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

00:03:15.310 --> 00:03:21.609
how did they do this well they use standard style key caps that's it

00:03:20.079 --> 00:03:25.239
thanks for being humble logitech that was exactly what people wanted and you

00:03:23.620 --> 00:03:29.260
delivered that's all there is to say besides all that it features 26 key

00:03:27.910 --> 00:03:34.090
rollover which should be more than enough for anyone other than that one

00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:38.590
dude who finds it really entertaining to see how many inputs he can have when he

00:03:36.519 --> 00:03:43.299
tries to attempt typing on the keyboard with his entire butt but it's probably

00:03:40.930 --> 00:03:47.800
fine it also features three step angle adjustment for your varying keyboard

00:03:44.950 --> 00:03:51.459
angle and height needs five large rubber feet on the bottom to keep it from

00:03:49.330 --> 00:03:54.310
sliding around some rather controversial media

00:03:52.330 --> 00:03:59.770
roll buttons because they're circles not squares I personally don't really care

00:03:57.730 --> 00:04:04.030
but have seen a number of comments about them so just be aware of that

00:04:01.660 --> 00:04:08.320
my biggest remark on the media Keys is that they feel actually pretty great to

00:04:05.830 --> 00:04:12.880
press their super tactile and responsive making them feel kind of like the keys

00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:16.570
you expect to feel on a receiver which is kind of cool considering their media

00:04:14.440 --> 00:04:20.500
functions the build quality is great with what must be some form of metal

00:04:18.790 --> 00:04:25.840
plate running through the body making it feel very sturdy and solid and it comes

00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:29.830
with the Logitech Gaming software that you were probably expecting for me to

00:04:27.580 --> 00:04:35.020
bring up like right now which allows you to intricately macro bind different keys

00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:39.190
on your keyboard mainly the F keys a lovely light control which I must say it

00:04:37.660 --> 00:04:42.280
looks awesome on these keyboards because of the romaji light stem it looks very

00:04:40.900 --> 00:04:46.870
nice and diffused and whatnot customizable gaming mode button and a

00:04:44.380 --> 00:04:50.110
key press heat map which is actually super cool I like that kind of stuff the

00:04:48.730 --> 00:04:54.850
only thing really lacking from this keyboard in my opinion is an included

00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:59.020
wrist rest most of its competitors have one it feels a bit lacking in that

00:04:56.620 --> 00:05:02.890
department I know the previous wrist rest wasn't winning a ton of awards

00:05:00.730 --> 00:05:07.630
people didn't like the gaming only half of it really being their style but they

00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:13.090
could have included something the G 410 atlas spectrum despite its name is in a

00:05:10.510 --> 00:05:17.169
smaller ten keyless package but other than that is is much of the same it

00:05:15.310 --> 00:05:21.880
doesn't seem to contain a metal plate and feels kind of flimsy and light which

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

00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:29.620
don't know if that means much to you the awesome lighting the romaji switches the

00:05:27.850 --> 00:05:34.000
more standardized key caps all of those were there and it does include a wrist

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

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

00:05:41.470 --> 00:05:46.840
name g6 10 Orion are basically the g8 10

00:05:44.950 --> 00:05:52.060
but with only backlighting for white colors cherry brown and cherry red MX

00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:55.780
switches respectively and that's about all there is to say about them which

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

00:05:57.760 --> 00:06:04.240
versus nachos and seven-layer dip lots of the same ingredients but

00:06:02.110 --> 00:06:08.680
oriented in a slightly different way creating a different

00:06:06.490 --> 00:06:13.150
so there that's the current state of logitech keyboards hopefully knowledge

00:06:10.840 --> 00:06:18.630
on these four gives you a better grasp on the apparently twelve hundred and

00:06:15.280 --> 00:06:21.340
twenty currently available keyboards
