My old mechanical keyboard broke, so I had to buy a new one. I'm Brazilian, so the local market for mech keyboards is either limited or very fancy (fancy as gaming keyboards).

So I got this amazing Logitech G610, which unfortunately is not sold with blue switches here, only brown ones. Very solidly built, well made, good extra keys and whatnot.

BUT OH MY, who ever thinks those LED effects are good for normal usage after 5 minutes of playing with them??? VERY distracting! <o>

    Awesome. Glad you were able to get good replacement hardware. I prefer brown switches, personally.

    @duckWit I've used both for a while now. Blue ones are a bit lighter on touch, but that's really a small change.

    BUT THOSE LEDS OH MY. Glad it's possible to turn that off, but had to google it because there's no hint on the shortcuts on the manual. lol

    @igorsantos07 yeah those lights are nuts.

    For me, the actuation force for blues require a more forceful press because of the clickiness. Maybe it's the model of keyboard I have, dunno. If I try to type lightly/softly I hit this sort of wall for the click, and then when it finally actuates, the key flies past the click and bottoms out causing knuckle pain over time.

    I love my G810.
    You can customize the light with the software.
    The effect is just to demo the possibilities.

    I always have these LEDs on, even with randomized colors :^)

    And that's why you type without looking at the keyboard!

    I know your pain. I was trying to find a good keyboard with blue keys, too.

    And just like you, I bought one with brown keys, but I am really enjoying them. : )
