![]() They are tactile and clicky type switches, meaning not only do they provide a noticeable bump when actuated, they chatter like a pack of rabid monkeys. I found the smaller 4 degree legs did not have the same level of grip and could slide around a bit easier.Ĭherry MX Blue switches seem to be the durian fruit of the gaming world, either you love them or you hate them. I was a little unsure initially if the small pads would be able to keep the keyboard from sliding around the desk, but between the weight of the keyboard and the padding, the keyboard never moved without intentional force when set flat or at 6 degrees. The bottom of the keyboard has five rubber feet, plus an extra on each keyboard leg. I really like the fact Logitech even labeled the degree on each leg. Logitech has made a better mouse trap by nesting two sets of keyboard feet together so the user can select one of two angles. Most keyboards offer users two choices, flat or angled. I really like the design of the G610’s keyboard feet. It is definitely a nice change from the usual garish gaming keyboard. ![]() The lit Logitech G logo aside, I think the keyboard has a very subdued and classy look to it, especially with the plain white lighting. Especially compared to the tiny little green LEDs on traditional keyboards, the International Space Station could probably tell if Caps Lock is on. Each notificaation light is bright and wide, making it very obvious if Caps Lock has been engaged. ![]() The lock notification light’s traditional spot above the keypad are taken up by the media keys, so they have been moved above the F9-12 cluster. The angular font chosen for the keyboard gives the keyboard a nice flair to the keyboard without looking tacky or screaming Mountain Dew chuggin’, Dorito eatin’ gamer. While the LEDs on the keyboard keys, lock lights, and the Logitech G logo share the same white colour and brightness level, the circular keys are noticeably dimmer and more blue. The G610 features white LEDs mounted on top of the switches. Weighing in at 1259g, there is definitely a metal plate inside the keyboard somewhere. I would have preferred a total matte finish for better fingerprint resistance. The case is a matte black plastic with a shiny finish on the sides of the keyboard. The G610 Orion Blue comes with a 1.83m braided cable that is offset to the right of the case. The keyboard itself is much like the packaging, compact but hefty. There isn’t much in terms of pack ins beyond the standard quick start guide and a safety warning. Wrapped in two cardboard boxes and sealed in a plastic bag, the packaging is probably one of the more bomb proof set ups I have unboxed. The Logitech G610 Orion Blue keyboard is packed in a compact but very dense packaging. While not nearly as common or as popular as its two brethren, the Cherry MX Blue has a small but dedicated following of gamers. The G610 Orion keyboards were previously only available in Cherry MX Red and Brown switches, the two most common mechanical switch for gaming. The Logitech G610 Orion Blue Keyboard is the latest iteration of Logitech’s mid-range mechanical keyboards featuring genuine Cherry MX Blue switches.
