After trying out Razer and a few Chinese keyboards (which were surprisingly good mechanical AND waterproof pieces of hardware!), I finally settled for Logitech G600 Orion Brown. Why:
- Brown switches are the quietest among all mechanicals.
- Good, neutral lighting, only one color (white), and enough brightness settings to make it good for any lighting around you.
- Logitech’s software is pretty good and allows for customization and macros (which I did not ever need).
- Hardware volume roller! I did not know how much I needed that until I had it.
- Gaming lock key (disables the Windows key, and optionally Alt-Tab). I was cringing at that at first but now use it almost any time I game.
- Splash-resistant. Not entirely waterproof like the blue Cherry MX switch Chinese keyboards I used but I didn’t need to swap it out when spilling some water or a drink on it.
The keyboard is simple, non-pretentious, and gets the job done surprisingly well. Ever since I had it I feel one with my PC. ![]()
Only downside: key caps pop out easily. I dropped it lately and had to put back at least 10 key caps. But this as an advantage as well: the keyboard is VERY easy to clean.
Why I gave up on Razer:
- Switches are not that durable. Had two high-end Razer keyboards, both started to have keys failing around the 13-14 month mark.
- Not even splash resistant. Spilling a small amount of water meant I had to swap it out for a spare, for no less than 6 hours.
- Harder to clean than most keyboards I had.
- Heavy. Not that this is a big concern but the bulkiness and heavy weight did not help it in being durable so I guess it was just a marketing stunt to make people feel like the product is durable while it clearly is not.
Why I gave up on Chinese blue Cherry switch keyboards:
- Lights started failing quickly (6-7 months).
- Blue Cherry switches are loud as hell.
…And that’s it. If I was into Blue Cherry and if I did not care about 2-3 keys having a dimmer light, they would be the PERFECT keyboards. Costed something like $60 and I was literally pouring water on them and they kept working. Dropped both at least 5 times each, zero keys fell off. It felt like you could murder someone with those things and then still keep working with them. ![]()
