Overall Review: Regarding the need for two USB ports on your mobo. Pros: Dual-zone LED back lighting (separate lighting for arrow + WASD keys), media controls, comfortable action on the MX browns, extremely quiet for a mechanical keyboard, enough G-keys (if you use these) USB port on backsideĬons: Power connection requires two USB ports on your mobo (you should have plenty, but for people that have a lot of peripherals, this could be a detractor), I love it for $117 (what I paid) but wouldn't have pulled the trigger at $149 (too many other viable options for $20-30 less) obligatory mention of the el cheapo palm rest Overall Review: I got this on sale during the holiday run up for $90, and I'm pleased with it for this price. Palm rest is serviceable, but something more textured/padded would've been even nicer. Again, I think this is a firmware issue, but not a deal-breaker since I can just wake with mouse click.

LOGITECH G710 KEYBOARD CLEANING WINDOWS
Logitech's suggestion is to disable any "Allow Windows to power off" USB devices/hubs/controllers in Devmgr but I did this for about 20 entries and this did nothing. This is apparently a known issue and imo, a hardware/firmware problem. Keyboard cannot wake system from S3 sleep. Keyboard does not remember lighting settings between reboots. Only USB2.0 for onboard port, and since it uses 2xUSB ports, its not really giving you an extra header. They got away with 1 USB header in the past, not sure why they needed 2 here. The cord is really thick, and kinda ugly. Personally, the G710+ didn't feel much better than domed rubber cap keyboard, and while my wife always jokes about the loudness of this keyboard, she hasn't demanded that I get rid of it, yet either. If you live with others that are noise sensitive, or share a space while gaming, you may want to consider the G710+ with the dampened MX Browns. Really nice though because it prevents the keyboard from sliding around even when I am pounding out 100+wpm like I am now or 150+apm when heavy gaming.Ĭons: Nothing to take off, but some annoyances nonetheless They must have a slab of lead in this thing because it is HEAVY. +G-keys are a little more understated with only 6, so if you are a heavy G-key user you may need the G510 or G910 instead. +The media keys and volume wheel are really handy features. The space bar is the only key that is not as tight and responsive as I would like. I've had issues in the past with some Logitech keyboards including the original G15 where the keycaps would get loose over time, no such issue on these. Contrast for WASD and arrow keys, you can also control the level of illumination for these key groups as well. +The key caps are well made, sturdy, feel great with a slight matte finish to them.

Anyone who remembers those old IBM "clicky" keys will appreciate these.except for maybe anyone else who lives with you, more on this later. Here's a rundown of the key highlights of this keyboard Pros: I've been using Logitech Gaming Keyboards since they invented the genre with the original G15, and the G710 Blue continues this solid pedigree.
