Logitech G710+ mechanical gaming keyboard revealed

Logitech has revealed its first mechanical keyboard targeted towards gamers, the G710+, and a spokesperson for Logitech South Africa has said that the keyboard will only be available in SA in 2013.

“The Logitech G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard was created to meet the specific needs of gamers,” said Mark Starrett, senior global product manager for Logitech. “We road tested this keyboard with professional gamers, partners, publishers, and everyday gamers like you and me, to ensure we’ve created a mechanical gaming keyboard that exceeds expectations.”

Part of the G-series, the keyboard features dampening rings on the non-clicking key switches to help further reduce noise.

The keyboard features six programmable G-keys, and will also allow gamers to press nearly any number of keys with 26-key rollover and an anti-ghosting matrix.

A white backlight will help to illuminate the keys for the gamers that prefer to play in the dark, and a dual-zone back lighting option will allow for extra light to come out of the WASD and arrow keys.

The keyboard is set to retail for $149.99 (R1,300) in the US, and MyGaming will have the details on pricing closer to launch.
