Logitech has unveiled the “world’s most advanced” mechanical gaming keyboard – the Logitech G910 Orion Spark.
The keyboard features the company’s new Romer-G mechanical switches, offering 25 percent faster actuation than other switches; improved durability (up to 70 million keystrokes); and intelligent illumination.
Like a lot of modern PC peripherals, the Orion comes with customisable lighting options – featuring 16.8 million colours, as well as the ability to attach your smartphone to the keyboard and turn it into an in-game stat screen.
The smartphone in-game screen requires Logitech Gaming software, which can be downloaded from the Apple and Android app stores (Arx Control mobile app).

“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.”
The Orion is compatible with Windows 7 and 8, and has the following basic specs:
- Weight – 1.5kg
- Length – 243.5mm/210mm
- Width – 505mm
- Height – 35.5mm
- Cable – 6ft
