Logitech Unveils the G910 Orion Spark RGB Mechanical Keyboard

Logitech, a leading innovator of gaming peripherals, today announced the Logitech G910 Orion Spark RGB Mechanical Keyboard. The keyboard features Logitech's exclusive new Romer-G mechanical switches, offering 25 percent faster actuation than any other mechanical switch, improved durability and intelligent Illumination.

"This keyboard is the culmination of years of ongoing development by our engineering team, incorporating feedback from gamers and eSports athletes to develop a next-generation mechanical key," said Vincent Tucker, director of Logitech gaming. "Our team was charged with developing a keyboard that truly improves the gaming experience, and Orion Spark delivers."
Orion Spark combines lightning speed responsiveness, improved accuracy with superior RGB illumination in a performance-driven design.

"My players love the new switches," said Andy Dinh, owner of Team Solomid. "They are so excited about them, that the whole team is using them in the League of Legends World Championship."

Fast, Responsive, Durable: Romer-G Mechanical Switches
Orion Spark features exclusive new Romer-G mechanical switches, which can't be found on any other keyboard. With an actuation point of 1.5 mm, Romer-G switches register your key presses up to 25 percent faster than competing mechanical switches. Improved durability at 70 million keystrokes, up to 40 percent longer than others on the market, also allows this keyboard to weather the wear and tear of intense gaming.

Intelligent RGB Illumination
The lighting in every key of Orion Spark can be individually customized from a palette of 16.8 million colors. You can mark keys by color to keep track of spells and other commands, change colors to match your setup, or set lighting by game. The lighting is centrally located within each switch and is directed by precision optics, to ensure that the lettering on each key is evenly illuminated.

Arx Control Integration
Arx Control is a new app from Logitech G that works with LGS to enable delivery of a wide range of information on your mobile device including anything from in-game intelligence, to vital system performance stats, to media controls. Using our Arx Control SDK game developers can even create customized applets to deliver content unique to their game. Major developers like Valve have been given early copies and are exploring possible integrations for Steam and for their popular games. Orion Spark features a pullout tray that supports most iOS and Android devices, providing easy access to Arx Control data.

Nine Programmable Buttons
You can also customize your favorite game by assigning game controls and macros to the nine individually programmable G-keys, for quick and easy access to complex commands. Orion Spark supports up to 27 commands across three profiles for maximum convenience, and setup is easy using Logitech Gaming Software.

Pricing and Availability
Orion Spark is expected to be available in the U.S., Europe and select countries in AP beginning in November 2014, for a suggested retail price of $179.99.

DammeronSo ugly...
Ye, it looks rather childish, but that's also because of the colors most likely.

I'm liking my G710+ a lot better.

Ugly, yes.
Functional, also.
Now if that new "app" is winphone compatible is questionable. The idea of using existing "screens" (so many at home today) instead of a build in mediocre screen is very clever!

Absolutely ridicilous pricing. I just bought CM Storm devastator for 30 eur and that includes a mouse!

Although 180 is certainly too expensive, you should not compare it to a silicone membrane board. Apples to oranges.

why complain about the colors? They are just on display to show variety, you can customize every key color if wanted.

WOW, not even fully programmable and $180 sheesh. I wish some one would add extra keys for a left handed gamer.

Only good thing i can think of would be the warranty is probably 3 years which the lobero i have only has 1 year and ROCCAT Ryos only 2 other than that i see nothing better about this keyboard.

Well even it showed all White LEDs i still wouldn't like it.

The desgin of the G710+ is the best they made so far. They should have kept that and just update the Switches.

They get bashed either way i remember people complaining about how the G710+ looked so much bitching about a little orange trim on a keyboard.

Anyways the keyboard doesn't look bad, the thing i'd mostly be worried about is if those indents on the key caps are annoying.

There is next to no good [non-pr] information on those Romer-G Mechanical Switches.

I remember when the Kailh Mechanical Switches showed up and initial and successive responses said it's just Cherry Mx copies with poor actuation and durability.

I'd actually like a smaller G710+ tho.

180 is way too expensive for a keyboard that would get obliterated quick or killed by coffee or rum lol

I have 0 issue with the Kailh switches how ever i have with cherry's also with their leds on them. And both feel pretty much the same.

G910 is terrible vs G710+ as by design so ergonomics of keys. G710+ looks smaller then top navigation panel of 910.

G910 is a terrible keyboard and such price ... LOL
