"Silver Switches" = easy to actuate = tons of typos and accidental moves in games Face Screaming In Fear

But the price is good, must resist.

Just spilt a bottle of Kombucha on my G910... Time for an upgrade.

This happens to be on sale, how do the switches compare to Logitech and Corsair keyboards?
Its nice to be important, but more important to be nice.

I spilled beer on my Corsair keyboard. I removed all the keycaps and washed them with dish soap. Keyboard still works fine!

Erm, Logitech Romer-G switches (that you have/had on your G910) are often considered one of the worst among mechanical keyboards. Not just by feeling (which may be subjective) - there is also the annoyance that they use a different stem (ie you can't get replacement keycaps);
G910 switches are labelled as tactile, but some say its tactility is even subtler than Cherry MX Browns. But they might still be something of a different feeling from OP's as they are linear, but Kailh Silvers are probably a lot more well regarded than romer-gs any day

Those new Logitech keyboards uses GX switches, which are similar to Cherry's stem. Corsair uses only Cherry MX switches, as far as I know. so at least you can get different keycap sets. Except that they have a different size bottom row. So not as simple as that.
That said most of people just want a keyboard, not changing keycaps like they change socks...

Regardless of what people think of Romer-G switches, the G910 uses tactile switches and this one uses linear so the feel will be different. Lookup some videos on youtube and I'm sure you'll find a comparison video somewhere.

Are any of the 3 pre-programmed RGB lights only one color (IE. they only glow white or red ect...)?

No numpad, no productivity.

Might as well light a joint for all the work you'll accomplish.
I aim to be inclusive and considerate of others in my posts. If I fall short of that mark, feel free to let me know in good faith, and where appropriate, I'll edit my posts. Thank you.

Yeah, you should be able to change the RGB profile with hyperx nginuity software.

AFAIK, if you don't install that, the only options are rainbow wave, rainbow breathing and rainbow trigger
(I have a hyperX alloy core RGB that also only does those light modes without software)

Great price! Paid ~95 for mine albeit with Aqua switches during one of their sales.

Use their software to program 3 custom colour schemes to the keyboard F1/2/3 keys. Get some pudding caps for extra RGB'ness.

Decent price for what it is. Can switch the keycaps to PBT Doubleshot down the road for added durability.

Personally I prefer 60% or TKL.
