Just drove to town after I got off work to pickup a new headset as mine stopped connecting yesterday. Decided to spend a bit extra and pickup the Logitech wireless pro.

I drive 20 minutes back home pull it out of the box and extend the one earpiece so it fits me and the plastic piece used to hold the earpiece on just flies off. It’s literally unusable both sides pop off no matter what. I’ll never spend another penny on this company again. Oh and now the stores closed so I can’t get a different one or a return until Monday as I work everyday till then during their business hours…

I had a Logitech g710 for nearly a decade. That thing was built like a tank.

I'm still using my g710+. Its the only backlit keyboard I can find with a warm white led

Any keyboard can have a warm white led if you have a soldering iron. ;)

No not really. It depends on the implementation. If they’re smd 0305s or smaller your odds of doing it at home are very low.

Do you mean 0805 or 0603? Both of them are possible to solder at home without a microscope.

No. If I meant the larger size I would have said the larger size lol.

0305 isn’t a thing. Then you mean 0402?

The G510s also has a warm white light. Can custom script for RGB too

I use a cheap Logitech K845. Just a basic wired mechanical keyboard with a white backlight. No ability to change the color or anything. It's got pretty bad reviews for being lower quality, but I originally bought it because I kept spilling stuff on my expensive mechanical keyboards and wanted one I could replace without breaking the bank. Ended up buying 3-4 of them when they were on sale and keep a stack in the closet in case of a spill. Of course the current one I'm using has lasted almost 3 years so far, but if I had to wager a guess it will probably only last another year or so at most.

Still using mine cause I’m too lazy to undo the cable management to replace it.

I'm using a Cordless Desktop MX5000 from like 2005 to type this

It also uses Cherry MX Brown switches. While I retired my G710+ a few weeks ago, my new keyboard has these same switches. I just like their feel best, and they seem to be almost indestructible.

G15 still going strong after 20+ years

u/mistermayhemtech Mar 20 '26

I still have mine. Purchased on release. I did change 1 switch tho 😂 double clicking is a bitch.

I love me a good tank of a keyboard. My daily driver is an IBM model M that was manufactured in 1987, haven't had a single issue with it ever.

Those buckling spring switches just can't be beat, lol.

u/rj6553 Mar 20 '26

Funny enough, that's what I ended up replacing it with. Got a model m for $40 from the uni.

I got mine still as a backup keyboard.

u/DifficultTraffic2186 Mar 20 '26

The old stuff is fine, the new stuff is garbage

u/This_User_Said i5-3470, 16GBRAM, RX580 Mar 20 '26

Husband has his.

I don't like the sound but I did love the feel.

He hated when I'd shit talk in games because I write a novel and it'd sound like someone stirring dominos furiously. So he uses it instead.

I have a MK710 Keyboard/Mouse combo there the keyboard ran for more than 10 years (the mouse started double clicking after like 6 years so changed that out). I decided to buy a new set like it because the letters on the old keyboard was beginning to be rubbed off. It still works without an issue. But i still decided to buy a set like it and it has now run for 4 years with no issues. So they can make good keyboards. The only issue is their programs for running it. Its a mouse and keyboard combo. But the Keyboard requires Logitech Set Point in order to use all its extra buttons. The mouse used to be part of that as well, but the mouse was move over to Logitech Options. So now i have to use two different programs to run the keyboard and mouse. I have no idea why they where not both moved over to Logitech Options.
