With an actuation force and distance of 50 g and 2.2 mm, respectively, the keys are optimized for rapid command entry. The mechanical keys on G710 deliver gaming-grade responsiveness and tactile feedback superior to rubber-domed keys. Instead the adjustable feet offer one angle-alternative that raises the rear by about a centimetre.The official marketing text of Logitech G710 keyboard USB Black as supplied by the manufacturerĬherry MX Blue, HIGH-SPEED MECHANICAL KEYS On a similar note, the keyboard only offers angle adjustment using two rear flip up feet, with no option to raise the front for a downwards sloping typing experience as on most 'ergonomic' keyboards. Still, the options there, which is always a plus point. It's too low-profile to offer any real support (unless your typing/gaming posture is very poor) and it's not padded either. The Logitech G710+ comes with an optional plastic wrist rest that, like most such efforts, does little in our opinion but add depth to the keyboard's already sizeable footprint. Plus, it's plenty heavy enough and with large and sticky enough rubber feet that it won't move anywhere in a hurry, no matter how furious a typer you are. The plastic chassis isn't quite so skull-crushingly solid as the Filco range, with a little bit of creak in evidence if you poke and prod some of the panelling, but in use there's no flex or noise, outside of that made by the keys themselves. Far more important is the build and here we can have few complaints. What's more, looks mean only so much on something that – if you're anything like us – gets covered in crumbs and tea stains within a week of going into service. Still, the keyboard is fairly easy to disassemble – with the orange, translucent black and grey plastic sections all coming apart - so a quick paint job is little more than an afternoon's work. Minimalism aside, we're still not entirely convinced by the look, with the simpler but far bolder, bright-red livery of the Diatec Filco Majestouch 2 being more to our liking. It's bold, brash and, well, about as much the antithesis of the minimalist lines of, say, an Apple keyboard as you could get.
