The original innovators have low-key luxury content - Logitech Logitech G810 keyboard evaluation


Thanks to Zhang Aunt, I was able to find such a good keyboard, and thanked Aunt Zhang again for starting the keyboard at a low price (key point) and bringing this evaluation to everyone.

This article will evaluate this keyboard from three aspects: exterior design (overall appearance, detail design), hardware and software (Win/Mac driver, actual experience of game linkage software).



Design

G810 design is simple and elegant, the border is a simple narrow border. Compared with the previous generation G910 convergence a lot.

G810

Key position

G810 uses the standard American keyboard layout, large backspace makes text editing more refreshing. At the same time, caps key cap design using capsulate keys, reduce false touch, with the Mac keyboard design has the same purpose.

Uncommon case keys

RGB lighting effect

As a gaming keyboard, cool lighting effects are indispensable, but how to balance game use and normal use? Thanks to the structure of Romer-G, the equivalent of the G810 is the most perfect keyboard I've ever seen, almost No light, the color rendering atmosphere is just right. The disappearance of light pollution makes weak light, the keycap text is very clear, really is the program to stay up all night writing code necessary keyboard.

Media control keys

Although the G810 canceled the G910's row of controversial side keys, it retained the media control buttons.

Media button area

As a Mac user, the function keys are used much more often, and they do not return function keys to F keys as most people (programmers). Whenever you use a Mac and you add a WIndows keyboard, you can't always control it with the F key. Volume, media player buttons on the G810 just solve this problem.

USB connector

The USB connector is square, non-gold-plated and marked on both sides. It is inserted on the Hub and can be easily viewed on either side. In contrast, the Sairui Rival 300 has a USB tag on one side and a Sairui logo on the other. Still have to distinguish. Details are well done, it is very convenient to use

Second leg

The design of the two-stage support legs allows the keyboard to be operated at angles of 0°, 4°, and 8°. Adjustable heights also make it easier to play games and write code.

hardware

The G810's key axis is the same as that of the G910, which is equipped with the Logitech custom Romer-G axis. From the official parameters, the trigger distance is shorter, the response speed is faster than the traditional mechanical axis, and it has a life of 70 million cycles.

The feel of the Romer-G axis is very similar to that of the membrane keyboard, and it is only a very slight passage when pressed down. Therefore, it can also be called 'membrane touch mechanical keyboard'.

When asked roommate, what axis of the mechanical keyboard is good. A roommate excitedly stood up from a wheelchair to recommend the green axis to me. The key axis preferences vary from person to person, but after I tried my roommate's green and black axes, I found myself Still more like the film feel and sound.

keycap

G810's keycap uses ABS material and painting process, the surface has been treated with skin, feel and comfort are very good. But the four surfaces around the surface feel a bit rough, I do not know is the process or the problem of its own design , But generally do not touch when using the keyboard, so the impact is not great. Fonts printed in the center of the keycap, visually beautiful, light transmission is also very good.

Because the keycap is ABS material, so easy to oil. And because the key shaft uses the Romer-G axis, the keycap buckle is also different, so can not replace the DIY keycap. When I do not know the skills can not be out of other materials, the keycap.

Media button

As mentioned earlier, the design of the media keys is very convenient. The upper right corner of the keyboard is the media button area, which can play the game mode, keyboard backlight control, volume control, playback control. Among them, the volume wheel is not damped.



software

Just from the hardware to make a fuss, mechanical keyboards haven't really done much. In addition to pressure-sensitive keyboards such as the Wooting One, the mechanical keyboard itself has not been much innovative. The software that can significantly enhance the experience is software.


G810 itself as a RGB gaming keyboard does not have onboard memory, which also means that the game linkage, cool equivalence is to rely on software to maintain.

Logitech game software provides two versions of Mac and WIndows. According to my experience, the experience on Windows is more process and the mode is more abundant; there are many bugs in the Mac version that can cause the card to die.

Mac

Mac

There are fewer lighting settings available on the Mac, and there are only a few preset modes. However, it is sufficient for most custom lighting needs. The Mac also supports game-specific lighting effects, but it supports fewer games (Mac The game itself is relatively small.)


Windows

The WIndows version and the Mac version are not much different. They only support more lighting effects and support more games.

For games such as CS:GO, Logitech software can be used in games, and keyboard lighting can change as the game progresses.

CS:GO 'Small Program'

If you select the CT camp, your button color will be blue; if you join the T team, the color will be brown.

Different camps show different colors

The top row of the keyboard shows the amount of blood. As the amount of blood decreases, so does the amount of red light from right to left. When you die, the entire keyboard will flash red. Of course, these colors are Adjusted by software.

Blood volume display

ARX ​​Control

ARX ​​Control

Logitech also offers another feature, ARX Control, which displays game information on the second screen. Take CS:GO as an example, you can display health, armor, money, and scoreboards on the second screen. Since the G810 has eliminated the phone slot of the previous generation G910, it is not convenient for practical use, and it is certainly not distracting on other screens for the intense game like CS, and it will be disconnected when using the ARX. In general, the experience of the connection is poor, and it is slightly tasteless.

In general, this part of the software is a kung fu, and these features Logitech provide the corresponding SDK, with a certain programming ability can be self-developed and game-compatible lighting effects, ARX interface.

to sum up

In general, G810 is a keyboard with excellent overall quality. Not only has the characteristics of a general mechanical keyboard, gaming keyboard, but also in the details of the design to win the hearts of consumers.

Advantages: Ingenious design details; easy use of media keys; excellent lighting effects; rapid Romer-G axis response.

Disadvantages: Key cap is ABS easy to oil, and can not replace the DIY key cap; no memory function of the lighting effect, need supporting software; linkage software slightly chicken ribs.


Digression

The subjective component of the keyboard is still quite large, and some people like the sense of passage, while others like the feeling of a film keyboard; some people like light pollution, and some only like white light effects; non-104 not used , have a love for compact. For those who like it, maybe do not use three legs, no media keys, this keyboard is very good; for those who do not like, no matter how many advantages can not be reached Disadvantages. For me, 104 full button, simple design, exquisite RGB lighting effect, media buttons, Win/Mac driver, provide SDK, these characteristics is exactly what I like, so evaluation is inevitable with emotion, please forgive me .
