Costumers Product Reviews
Pros
I usually don't like to write reviews, but for this product, I just really wanted to! :)
Firstly, I did a lot of research before ending up with this one. My primary targets were mechanical keyboards, as I will use the keyboard for programming, gaming, music, which is a lot of typing. So if you are looking for your perfect keyboard, I would recommend to first understand what's the difference between the switches and the profiles.
With this, I've recently found out about low profile mechanical keyboards. If you have ever used a Mac keyboard or a laptop keyboard, you know how low profile feels and how great it is.
So I definitely wanted that, as it's very comfortable and gives a great feel to typing.
But I knew some of the advantages of the mechanical keyboards and I didn't wanna end up with a cheaper edition of a Mac keyboard for Windows.
So I found low profile mechanical keyboards, which seemed a very very interesting combination of these properties.
I had a red switch corsair and I must say my hands started to really hurt because you have to press the keys entirely for them to take effect.
As I've learnt there are 3 (or more) types of low profile switches: clicky, tactile and linear.
As far as I understood linear was no go for me, as it's very similar to red switches. Clicky then felt waaay too laptop-ish (and I say this as watching videos on YouTube, reading articles, listening to the sounds again and again - not testing them in person), and clicky just felt too... cheap? Not sure...
But then tactile... It's just the best thing to type on this thing. The sound, the feel, the confidence if I pressed a key or not. The gentle feedback a key was pressed. This is a new world for me...
And of course, this keyboard has a lot of additional features which are just brilliant! You can set color profiles for each application you are using the most (great to switch between work and gaming). And then the macros of course.
There only 2 downsides of this keyboard:
1) You cannot set the color of the M1, M2, M3, and MR keys. They are always going to be yellow.
2) The secondary letters on the keys are not transparent, thus they don't have light.
The latter is more annoying as it's hard to find sometimes some special characters so I have to find them by memory.
But in general, this keyboard is perfect, typing on it is heaven.
Cons
You take the board out of the box, it's got a nice weight to it, a beautiful finish. Feels good.
Absolute joy to type on; very satisfying, just the right amount of travel. Feels well planted on your desk.
The volume control is amazing when you get used to it.
They have not messed with the standard key layout in any way... which is just amazing, not enough of this.
Even the USB extension is fantastic; it's well shielded and gives you a great connection to mobiles, etc at a distance.
But then the issues.
Out of the box it flashes this rainbow RGB at you... there's no default "shut up" setting without the software.
There's a great big "G" logo in the top left event blinding you or it being 100% off (where you can't see the markings)
The extra buttons are just awful - there's no tactile feedback so you must just mash them till it registers.
It feels like a toy.
A great big flash shiny toy for streamers, and not particularly conducive to getting stuff done.
"Okay" you think to yourself, it'll be fine when I install the software.
The software's bad.
- it's incredibly bloated
- it's a giant advert
- It's not remotely intuitive
- it uses nonstandard widgets so you're often not sure where to cick.
- when it asks if you want to share your data with logitech, there's no close button unless you opt in
- on my pc it just about works. on my mac it doesn't see the board, so it RGB's *constantly*
- When you contact support it asks for your G Hub version, mine says "Version: " (no number)
- There is *NO* way to uninstall the software. Not hyperbole. There is no uninstaller.
- Logi support are spectacularly unhelpful btw. Found a construction flaw in a mouse preventing it from being usable due to unclipped component legs and all I got was "thanks, we'll forward that to the engineers" - no refund.
Your profile isn't stored on the keyboard btw, if you switch over to mac or whatever, you need the software to actually work. If you reinstall, time to re-make everything. Plug it into your laptop or xbox? Gotta do it again.
Lame effort.
The G keys get in your way.
If you're doing a lot of 3D work you rest your hand near WASD, but on the desk. Can't do that here.
I had to remove mine. It looks awful, but the board is usable.
Every so often it starts typing to itsself.
If they'd made a version that wasn't for kids, it'd be my favourite keyboard ever.
- Lose the G keys: we have hundreds of others from which to make combos
- make the media keys tactile
- *remove* the rgb entirely, or at least default to something less annoying.
On mac my options are "rgb at you constantly" or "can't see the keys because it's not painted on, it's a dark transparent window"
Feels like someone at the company set out to make a fantastic device.
Then it was ruined by committee
"Oh hey, 12% of users want obnoxious RGB, so add that as the default so it looks annoying in shops"
"our users are kids, so we can go to town making the G Hub non GDPR compliant"
"let's add extra media keys like it's 1997 again, people love when extra keys get in the way"
I wouldn't care if it wasn't so close to perfection.
Avoid.
