I currently have a Logitech G710+ (brown) and a Logitech G602. I'm not terribly eager to get Logitech again.
- Many of the keycaps on my 710 have utterly shattered
- The rest have gotten rubbed off.
- It has an irregular key size, so I couldn't even replace the keycaps on it properly.
- The gamer keys are nearly useless with where they're at.
- The G602's middle clicker stopped working a long time ago.
- Side buttons are only slightly less useless (they require too much actuation force)
- Randomly goes dead with no warning (software is supposed to tell me but it's unreliable)
So I went to Microcenter looking at keyboards and mice. Daskeyboard was about the only thing that I might have considered, but it got many bad reviews in the reliability department (stops working after ~2 years). There was a K70 with browns, but the keycaps weren't anything to write home about. The spacebar especially looked like it would just shatter on me at some point (yes, I hit keys a little harder than most people). Technically I still have keycaps from a recent Massdrop, but I (intentionally) broke the spacebar into pieces fitting it to this damn keyboard. I guess I could ask them if they could get me another one.
What doesn't help is that it just really feels like all of these keyboards are really overpriced for what they are. I know they're mechanical, but it can't seriously cost them $160+ to make a freaking basic keyboard with cherry switches...
Is there anything out there that's high quality these days? Is it all just flimsy trash? =\
