The heart of this keyboard is its use of mechanical key switches. A plastic snap-on wrist rest is included to provide a slightly more gradual angle but it’s a fairly tame effort and we’d recommend ditching this and opting for a proper padded rest to get a comfortable height for your wrists. One problem that lots of mechanical switch keyboards have is that to fit in the switches they need to be quite tall so it’s particularly important to have a good typing posture and wrist rest. You’ll need to plug in the second USB plug on the main cable to enable this. On the back edge is a spare USB port – the cable is tethered. On the bottom are four large rubber pads to stop the keyboard sliding around as well as the obligatory flip up legs for creating a steeper typing angle – there’s only one level of adjustment here, unlike some keyboards that offer two lengths of leg. Indeed, Logitech even shows on its website the keyboard functioning after being run over with a tank. There’s the slightest bit of flex if you press down hard in the centre of the keyboard but in use it’s as solid as a rock. Nonetheless it’s a well put together bit of kit, despite it being all plastic. It’s certainly a far cry from the brushed aluminium simplicity and premium feel of Corsair’s K-series keyboards. Its angular shape, multitude of logos and combination of grey and black plastics - with a flash of orange surrounding the ‘G’ keys - is all very ‘gamer’ oriented but not what you could really call stylish. One area where the G710 perhaps lets itself down is its overall design. Coming in at around £140 it may seem outrageously expensive just for a keyboard, but then it really does deliver. The G710 is Logitech’s current flagship gaming keyboard, so plays host to a multitude of programmable keys and multimedia controls as well as so called ‘mechanical’ keyswitches for longer life and a better key action.
