Robust and reliable working tool, which was, however, developed as a toy and cannot completely deny its origins.
I didn't buy the keyboard as a gaming keyboard but for the office, where I work with Linux. The deciding factors were the technology (MX-Brown), from which I expected a clear pressure point with a low noise level, the relatively neutral/professional design and the Swiss-German keyboard layout, which is unfortunately rarely found on mechanical keyboards.
Logitech does not offer any device software for Linux, which is disappointing for a device in this price range. However, it was no problem to assign the special keys for media (volume, track forward/back, start, stop, mute) with native means.
The noise level when typing is higher than expected and at the limit of what is bearable for everyday office use. Personally, I appreciate the acoustic feedback as well as the tactile feedback, but I don't like to burden my environment with it.
The workmanship is satisfactory and appropriate for the price level.
Working with the keyboard is a lot of fun. At the beginning, it is still unusual that the keys react very quickly, and it took me a while to get used to the behaviour, but now I feel well supported by the device in my work. The perceptible switching point of the keys is very pleasant.
I found it annoying that the backlighting of the keys can be adjusted in brightness, but the illumination is fixed to a childish wave animation. In dim lighting conditions, the illumination could have made sense, but now it remains deactivated.
Edit: the illumination animation can also be switched under Linux if you press the illumination key and 0 at the same time. (Or 1, if you like the wave animation).Pro

Good product with high quality keys at a reasonable price
Pro
- Stable, heavy and yet space-saving
Contra
- some keys (space bar, Enter) rattle quite loudly
Very good keyboard, as long as you don't want to write a book with it. Otherwise, the loud keystrokes are a bit annoying.
Robust and cool keyboard for gaming.
Pro
- Not too big for a gaming keyboard
- Robust
- Beautiful lighting, also integrated into the games

The G610 Orian Brown keyboard is a hit
Very nice feel to this keyboard.
Pro
- Backlit keys help to type in low lighting.
- Swiss keyboard adapts to Windows language (Swiss-French) just like Digitec said.
- Supplied software allows lots of adjustments for games.
- I like the roller volume control on the keyboard, very handy.
- My wife likes this keyboard too and and she only types.
Contra
- The keyboard keys are a bit more "clacky" than I expected.
- The roller volume control only goes in steps of 2%. Steps of 1% would be better for loud games.
- I couldn't make the Gaming Software dim the backlighting, but the dimmer button works fine.
Can't keep my hands off it
Super pleasant gaming keyboard. The materials used are ingenious. I just love touching this keyboard. However, it took me some time to realise that the LEDs can be configured differently via a key combo (I use the keyboard without additional Logitech software). If you want to write with the keyboard for a longer period of time, you should get a handrest cushion, as the height of the keys is considerable.
Pro
- Super Habtik
- Perfect stop
- Top workmanship
Contra
- Instructions are too banal
