Logitech G610 w/ Red Switches. Throw some o-rings under the keys and it'll be near silent.

If you don't need RGB, this is a fantastic deal.

I would recommend this keyboard instead: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CDYB8AG/?tag=pcpapi-20 It's still got the Cherry MX Red and it's half the price. the only thing it doesn't have is the extra gaming keys for hotkeys. You might want a 1080 Ti, if you want to get the most out of $4000. And like /u/Jossyosrs implied $700 is too much for RAM I think. You could easily save $100-200 and get the same speed RAM

Is this a good deal? Looking for a mechanical keyboard and it has the biggest price slash I've seen so far.

I've never gotten this question, and I've never really outright asked. What is a "gaming keyboard" for you guys? Is it snazzy lights? A cool logo?

You can get pretty much anything beyond a specific logo on any non-gaming keyboards. You can get media controls on pretty much any keyboard, more or less. You can get non-gaming keyboards full-sized, or TKL with a separate numpad, or a 60% and learn to use Function layers more (which is what I do, and have done, for a while, for both gaming and other functionality on a computer). You can get RGB lights on keyboards that aren't designated as "gaming" keyboards (though, admittedly, these are mostly custom keyboards, as mass-produced, mainstream, ready-made keyboards are usually designated "gaming" keyboards when they have RGB lights).

The only thing I'd recommend you look out for is to make sure it has mechanical switches, because their lifespan is much longer (than typical rubber domes on most keyboards). Mechanical keyboards last years upon years upon years, and the switches can be replaced individually (should they fail) if you're up to open the keyboard's case; on the flipside, if you want a snazzy "gaming(TM)" keyboard, then those very often see early failures in the individual LED lights that make up the RGB lighting, which are far more failure-prone.

tl;dr: Pretty much any good keyboard is also a good gaming keyboard, because good keyboards are defined by their switches and their durability; media controls aren't really used in gaming anyway, and are usually substituted with Function layer keys anyway.

Also, looking around Canadian Amazon, I realized 150 CAD is a bit less than I thought (seeing as I'm used to dealing with pounds and euros), but you could just get something like this, which is at a very reasonable price (though I haven't used this keyboard myself). On the flipside, I would warn you against keyboards like this one, which say they use "Cherry MX Blue Equivalent" switches, because the "equivalent" - especially when they don't name the switch and just say it's "Custom mechanical switches" - usually means they're some really low-quality switches, and you might find them not being nearly as durable, and feeling really weird and mushy right out of the box.

For other alternate options, you could consider this one, or something like this, if you don't care about RGB lights (because it has a few less noticeable (but more useful, in my opinion) features, like double-shot PBT keycaps, which take much, much longer to wear out and develop a "shine" on the keys; and a USB type-C connector, which is really just more convenient and more durable than the old(er) microUSB or whatever other connector a given keyboard has). It has a Space Grey colour option as well.

At the end of the day, all you need to really consider is the size of the keyboard (which you can make a bit easier for yourself by getting a separate numpad, should you really need one), the switches (which will change how the keys feel when you press them down), and programmability (i.e. whether the keys can all be re-binded or not). Everything else is tertiary, and mostly just vanity.

I really like my Logitech G610 with Cherry MX red switches, they are linear so they do not produce an audible click, so they are quiet. The G610 does have backlighting but it is white and I just keep it turned off anyway, it's got a nice basic look nothing flashy. Doesn't have many extra buttons just some play, pause, lighting control, and a swanky volume slider. Feels well built and it's Logitech so you know it is.

On sale right now for 79 dollars on Amazon

Okay, but repost?

I love my Logitech g610 Orion mechanical keyboard ($80) and Logitech g303 mouse($30). The mouse is comfortable and light with 2 side buttons and has served me well for the last year with no signs of aging at all. No fraying of the braided cable or ware on the mouse anywhere. The g610 Orion keyboard has Cherry Mx Red switches and a nice tactile feel to each key press. I haven’t had it a real long time but I have loved every second I have had with it. I very highly recommend both. And also RGB MOUSE = MORE FRAGS

If you're a student in high school or college, see if your school or college department has a Microsoft Imagine subscription, which could get you your windows license for free. That'll save a lot.

The K55 isn't mechanical, just a heads up. It's not half bad as a membrane keyboard though If you want mechanical with white backlighting, the Logitech G610 has sold on amazon for $60 a few times and uses Cherry MX Reds. There's also the Gigabyte Force K83, which lacks dedicated media and volume keys and backlighting, but is a steal at $40 (an LED desk lamp can kinda solve the lack of a backlight. I use the Logitech in my home office and the Gigabyte Force at work.

Otherwise, the only other thing I could think of is getting a Micro ATX board (shorter and usually 3-4 PCIe slots as opposed to ~7, most people don't use more than 3) to get the price to around $90. The ASRock AB350 Pro4 is around $90, despite being an ATX board:

NewEgg has it in stock at the same price with a guarantee that it's Ryzen 2000 ready.

Whatever you choose, I hope you enjoy it.

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a full sized keyboard with dedicated media buttons with a minimalist style. No fancy LEDs or anything like that.

Huge fan of this Logitech Orion but it's sold out :(

Looking at Ducky's and other options, googling and such, even custom WASD ones but doesn't seem to be the fit. Using FN key is a pain.

Anyone have any good recs?

Depends on the features you want really. Do you need extra programmable keys or just a normal full size just fine? Really when you are looking at a board its what features can you live with out and how much are you willing to spend? I have a blue switch board with backlighting with out the numpad bc of desk space at home. At work I have a full sized board with out backlights. There are even smaller boards out there that remove the F keys and the arrow keys and use the function key to make up for it.

The Corsairs are highly recomended by gamers, a bunch of guys I work with all have these. I just dont like the feel of reds, they still feel like dome keyboards to me: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-STRAFE-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B00ZUPOMDQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479534008&sr=8-1&keywords=mechanical+keyboard&refinements=p_89%3ACooler+Master%7CCorsair%7CRazer%7CLogitech

No frills logitech: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Backlit-Mechanical-Keyboard-920-007857/dp/B01CDYB8AG/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1479534105&sr=8-16&keywords=mechanical%2Bkeyboard&refinements=p_89%3ACooler%2BMaster%7CCorsair%7CRazer%7CLogitech&th=1

The selection endless now days, almost every company that makes PC gaming components makes a mouse and mechanical keyboard or 10. Stick with anything with MX or Gateron switches and you should be fine. Corsair, Thermaltake, Cooler Master, Logitech, Ducky, Das keyboard are all fine(there are so many brands its hard to narrow all of them down off the top of my head.) Check out the mechanical keyboard subreddit, granted a lot of what those guys go with arent gaming boards but you can get an idea of what is considered quality brand wise.

Depends on what youre looking at. you can go from $30 for a cheap one, to 150 for a Ducky or DAS keyboard.

I personally have the Logitech G710+ and love it. You could go to the 610 series and lose the optional function keys (and save about $60) for a solid mid-price point.
$30ish option

Ducky shine $150

Logitech 610 series MX reds, $90

I just spilled water on my mechanical keyboard that I've been using for the passed several years. With black friday just around the corner, I figure this is just a good time as any for this to happen. I'm looking for a full mechanical keyboard with a numpad and dedicated media controls, specifically volume. Backlit is a plus, with cherry red switches or equivalent. I'm looking at the Logitech G610 Orion currently. Any better suggestions?

Made a small list for you to consider, I currently have the Logitech G610 with MX Browns and I really enjoy it.

I bought a Logitech G610 with Cherry Red switches. I use it at work, but it will be going home with me if my Corsair K70 RGB ever goes out. This is a fantastic keyboard for only $70.

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-920-007839-Backlit-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B01CDYB8AG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1522160466&sr=8-1&keywords=G610&dpID=418EGkuiiGL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

this looks like a pretty good buy

Many gamers prefer red switches because of their linear actuation. They also happen to be quieter than blue and brown.

A keyboard with RGB and generic red switches can be found for around $50:

https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-Mechanical-Keyboard-Keys-Linear-Quiet-Red/dp/B07KCRTN9Q/

If you want genuine Cherry MX Switches and a name brand keyboard, it will cost you more:

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Backlit-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B01CDYB8AG/

And if you want that, plus RGB, it will cost over $100.

Logitech: keyboard
mouse

corsair: mouse
keyboard

either should be solid options. Don't feel like you need to buy both logitech or both corsair, can mix and match. I typically like to keep things the same brand so I don't have too many software utilities running on my computer at once.

If you want a similar-looking board with media controls, check the Logitech G610. Comes in browns and reds.

Try Logitech? I love mine

Logitech G610 Orion Red Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (920-007839) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CDYB8AG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_KoDRybSBWZH6H

The Logitech G610 Orion Red is on sale for $86.96 and it's mechanical with cherry mx red switches and a white backlight, Cherry MX Reds are fairly quiet but if it's too loud you can always buy O-Rings

>Logitech is a TKL

Ah, yeah - while I do generally prefer numpads, I don't really have a lot of room, so TKL is better (not necessary, of course)

I found this keyboard and am considering it. I watched a video on it and the keys seemed somewhat loud but it could just be the way the microphone he was using was configured. It also appears to be quite raised despite not having a palm/wrist rest.

I didn't see the blue-only - I'll take a look.

Alright, here’s a balanced build that really takes all parts of the PC to account (performance, aesthetics, thermals, efficiency).

CPU/MOBO: https://www.microcenter.com/product/5003163/AMD_Ryzen_5_3600_with_Wraith_Spire_Cooler,_Gigabyte_X570_Aorus_Pro_WiFi,_CPU_-_Motherboard_Bundle

I’m seeing that people are suggesting B450 boards. While that is fine, I would like to point out that it would require a BIOS update and the BIOS update on MSI and other models have major problems. Plus, you are giving up on future PCIe 4.0 and OC features.
Also, the OP does not prioritize Multi-Core performance, so the Ryzen 5 3600 would definitely be a better value-for-money choice if 1080p Gaming is the main focus. The 3600, also, will deliver above average performance in moderate editing and workstation performance. This $420 bundle at MicroCenter will provide you with a mid-ranged X570 Motherboard as will as a capable CPU to minimize bottlenecks.

GPU: I really don’t know what to do here. I would definitely recommend 5700XTs for what you’re doing. However, all 3rd Party graphics card models are out of stock nearly everywhere. Definitely don’t purchase a blower card, as other models offer better base and boost clocks and thermals. I would personally wait for the MSI Mech OC, PowerColor Red Devil, or Sapphire Pulse to come. But if you want to build ASAP, I would consider this: https://www.microcenter.com/product/610784/Challenger_D_Radeon_RX_5700_XT_Overclocked_Dual-Fan_8GB_GDDR6_PCIe_40_Video_Card

RAM: https://www.microcenter.com/product/608780/Vengeance_RGB_Pro_16GB_2_x_8GB_DDR4-3600_PC4-28800_C18_Dual_Channel_Desktop_Memory_Kit_CMW16GX4M2Z3600_-_Black

16GB is pretty much recommend for many newer titles and workstation applications. But really, RAM frequency is important to Ryzen, and 3600MHz seem to be the “sweet spot” for 3rd-Gen Ryzen. Plus, I went with RGB RAM as they are relatively cheap currently.

SSD: https://www.microcenter.com/product/511204/660p_1TB_SSD_3D_NAND_QLC_M2_2280_PCIe_NVMe_30_x4_Internal_Solid_State_Drive

A lot of people will suggest this model for value-to-performance, and they aren’t wrong. In 1TB NVMe SSDs, the 660p holds a position near the top for value. It will provide you with relatively fast load and boot speeds. True, there are better SSDs out there, but you really don’t need more than this for gaming and browsing and even lighter workstation. Plus, 1TB of SSD Storage is more than enough for your most played games and the OS.

HDD: https://www.microcenter.com/product/415197/Blue_Mainstream_2TB_5400RPM_SATA_III_6Gb-s_35_Internal_Hard_Drive

Really not too much to explain here. This is just a good quality drive as your secondary storage for videos, pictures, documents, and other games that are less important to you (no one likes deleting games due to storage limitations in order to install new games).

PSU: https://www.microcenter.com/product/502044/650_Watt_80_Plus_Gold_ATX_Semi-Modular_Power_Supply

So this is a MicroCenter PowerSpec branded power supply. This is a 650W 80+ Gold rated unit and it should be enough to power everything. I would not recommend anything lower that this. 80+ Gold is pretty much the standard in $1,000+ values PCs. Definitely don’t get a generic PSU though, as those may kill the system in case of an error or capacitor failure.

The Case and Cooling will be better if bought online via Newegg.

AIO Cooler: https://www.newegg.com/cooler-master-masterliquid-ml240l-rgb-liquid-cooling-system/p/2YM-0004-00015?item=2YM-0004-00015

This is kind of optional. This cooler will make the build look cooler (RGB) and provide better thermals and OC efficiency.

Extra Fan: https://www.newegg.com/cooler-master-r4-120r-20pc-r1-case-fan/p/1YF-0010-000K6?item=9SIAE307ZN6975

This is also optional, you can replace this with the included rear case fan. It will match up with the RGB theme and provide slightly better thermals.

CASE: https://www.newegg.com/black-cooler-master-masterbox-td500-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811119343?item=N82E16811119343

The TD500 is a great case, and with decent value too. It has has decent airflow and thermals with 3 RGB fans included. It should also have decent space to build in.

So this is all I have to suggest for the PC itself. You will be looking at near $1400 pre-tax and rebates.

Monitor: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824475006

The MSI Optix is a great mid-range 1080p 144hz monitor. It has a curved screen design as well as a 1ms response time.

Mouse: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-G502-Performance-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B07GBZ4Q68/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=g502&qid=1567685831&s=gateway&sr=8-

This is pretty much the standard of the HERO series from Logitech. The G502 has a 16,000 DPI range and a multi-button layout.

Keyboard: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Backlit-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B01CDYB8AG/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?keywords=logitech+mechanical+keyboard&qid=1567686080&s=gateway&sprefix=logitech+mechanical&sr=8-8

Again, this is the standard of Logitech mechanical keyboards. The G610 has Red Switches as well as a full keyboard layout. It should be pretty comfortable to play on.

So yeah, this is my suggested layout. It should run at around $1700-1750 total.

Really need to know what kind of switches you want/like.

EG: Linear, Tactile, Clicky etc.

Also, full keys, or 10 keyless(Normal keyboard - numpad)?

If you want a standard full keyboard layout, and linear switches, like Cherry MX reds, I'd suggest The G610, you can get it in either CherryMX Reds('silent' linear) or Browns('Silent' Tactile), and it has white backlighting, along with full media controls and a nice tactile knob-y thing for adjusting volume, if that's your jam, you can get the Cherry MX red variant for 60$ on Amazon right now

Hey all, I'm looking for a new keyboard to pick up this Black Friday, but I've never bought a mechanical keyboard before. I don't really care much for RGB, and while I would like to have my keyboard be Logitech so that I don't have to install any other drivers, it isn't a very high up priority.
These factors led me to be looking at the [Logitech G610] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CDYB8AG/ref=twister_B0728L4V8P?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) but it does have two different switches, the Cherry MX Browns and the Cherry MX Reds. I live with people, so I would like my keyboard to have a slight click but nothing very annoying. If you guys could give me a suggestion on which switch, or even another keyboard entirely it would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Keyboard still 39% off

> Hell, I've had to replace my Logitech G502 on two seperate occasions, and Logitech is supposed to have amazing QC. My old 3 year old Razer mouse still works flawlessly.

I'm fairly certain that I said earlier that their old products are fine. The new Deathadders are still very popular mice too.

As I said before, you don't have to buy Corsair if you don't like them. You can get a Logitech G610 for the same price as the Blackwidow.

The G610 is already on sale for $79.99 :)

This normally goes for like 40$ though...also take note it uses ROMER-G keys, which a lot of people are unsatisfied with.

10$ more you can get real Cherry MX keys, brown or red and a better build quality.
