Greater than one weekI have the other version of this keyboard with the GX Clicky Blue switches and what feels like non-rubberized keycaps. The keycaps on this this gx brown feels significantly rubberized. I do not really like the GX Brown Tactile keys for one reason only. It has the exact same issue as the mx cherry browns and romer-g browns or any other brown switch, they have barely any tactile feel to them, which practically makes them linear switches in real world usage. If I wanted a linear switch, I would have bought one. Overall, the gx browns are smoother than the gx blues, almost feel like they could be lubed, so the browns are pretty smooth, that part feels nice. If it had actual tactile feedback, this would be a winner. The gx blue switches have the best typing feedback of course, but they are very loud and the gx blue switches also feel not as refined as they could be, it feels somewhat scratchy and loose, I can even feel the parts move inside of the switch when Im pressing them slowly. Im very divided honestly and its frustrating. I want the solid tactile feedback of the gx blues in the gx browns, but the only thing really wrong with them is that they have almost no tactile bump, which is the only reason why I bought them, because I wanted that solid tactile feedback. Thats all I want. When youre gaming or typing very fast, you barely notice any bump at all. It just doesnt make any sense why they would make the gx brown switch like a linear. The whole point for each type of switch is to be significantly different from the other for different purposes. Its almost like theyre afraid to offend people with too much pronounced tactile bump or something. Its literally the most minimal tactile bump you can possibly design on a switch without it being straight up linear. I didnt buy a linear switch, I bought a tactile, so give me an actual tactile switch. This keyboard could be the right fit if youre looking for something thats affordable on sale and good design overall. The switches will probably not really satisfy you though. To be fair, all mainstream keyboards with pretty much any type of brown switch, they all have the same issue, barely any tactile feedback, which makes them practically a linear. So if you enjoy clicky loud blue keys or if you enjoy the smooth barely any tactile brown switches, this could be the keyboard for you on a budget. I wouldnt recommend them at full price at all, but for the on sale price of $60, yes sir, Ill take one. Personally, I only bought this thing because it was cheap and I would have to pay a lot more money for the type of switch I actually want, so here we are. A good product, I only just have issues with the switches. I personally prefer the gx blue clicky switches. Semi recommended as long as you know what youre getting.

> 3 dayI love my custom, clicky, thonky blue mechanical keyboards, but sometimes you need something a bit quieter... I tried reds and hated them for typing - apparently I rest my fingertips on the keys (more than I should?) and made more typos than usual. I was hoping that the promise of browns (quieter than blues, but with some tactile feedback) would be the solution! Are they? Kinda.... They are definitely quieter than blues which is a low bar to clear, but I wish they had more tactile feedback. Im not feeling a hint of a click/switch/scrape so they somewhat feel like stronger-springed reds. Either way, this keyboard is better than typing on reds and accomplished my mission of finding something quieter to type on. Bonus - RGB and feel - this really does feel like a quality piece of engineering. Its hefty and sturdy. If you can ignore some of the blatant branding, its actually pretty nice overall and you can manage all the settings, including RGB, via the Logitech app. I like how theres a dedicated go dark button. Negatives - wish there was more key feedback, and I wish the cord wasnt dead center but on the left corner. =)

> 3 dayI have owned several mechanical keyboards over the past 3 years. Ranging from cheap crap like Red Dragon, to consumer stuff like Corsair and Razer, as well as some of the higher end custom boards like the TOFU60 and some KBDfans stuff. For the money, I think you can do SO much better. While I appreciate the RGB quality and the sheer amount of endless RGB customization the GHUB software allows you, that is about the only thing I can rate highly. Construction is not totally terrible for a board built primarily out of plastic. But it is very hollow sounding and does not have much substance to it when typing. Has a nice weight to it and the adjustable angle stands are nice and have been useful. Stabilizers are average, but definitely nothing special. Why are they STILL using MICRO USB? It literally would cost them less than $0.30 to use USB-C instead. I dont get it. Keycaps dont seem to be double shot PBT, but theyre decent quality nonetheless. Nice RGB shine through. Switches are proprietary Logitech Blue clicky switches. They are pretty meh. If you like the sound of a loud dry keypress with significant amount of travel and play, then youll like it. Otherwise, if youve used boards that have a more consistent and overall smooth feeling keypress, this will not be a treat to use. I think this keyboard is half decent for most folks who want something they can buy once and not have to think about again after that. But if you have very high standards, have used modded or custom or just better quality keyboards prior, this one will very likely not be a great experience. Personally, I went out on a limb because I finished building my latest PC much quicker than I anticipated and have since sold the TOFU60 I had and my backup board which was a Corsair. So I bought this on a whim wanting to give a GPRO product a try. However after a month of use, I am going to revert to building a good starter 60% or maybe TKL mechanical keyboard since that can be done for under 150 and overall can feel 10 times better than this GPRO. :l TLDR 6/10. Would recommend to people wanting something that they dont have to worry about ever again after purchasing. Anyone else, I would suggest taking a pass and getting an entry level custom starter board that has intent to be modded down the road.

> 3 dayIt was about mid-day when I thought to myself, I wonder what deals there are today, and with that I decided to browse for deals. This was a daily ritual, so I wasnt expecting much but then my eyes set its gaze upon a deal so good I couldnt say no for an answer. A Logitech keyboard (League of Legends edition) for 54% off its original price! Wow, what a bargain I told myself. Without a second thought, I added this keyboard to my cart and browsed its other models and editions to see if this was the only model - sadly it was. Regardless, this $60 keyboard was originally $130 so I could care less about the design. I Eagerly purchased the product and waited for its arrival. On the day of its arrival, I opened the box with care and instantly put the keyboard to use. During its short use, I experienced what seemed to be a broken e key. I decided to use this keyboard for work instead. Within a few hours, I had already switched to my previous mechanical keyboard for work. Luck had run out; I got a faulty keyboard. My experience with the keyboard had been pretty good so far, except for the e key. The brown switches had a premium sound for a pre-built mechanical keyboard and the material felt nice. It was a product I could get used to using. The actuation of the keys required more effort than I had anticipated but this was a new product, Im willing to stick with it until I build the finger strength needed to use this keyboard effortlessly. The LEDs on the keyboard wasnt too bright. Just enough in my opinion. Keys were of pretty high quality and software to configure RGB on the keys was within expectations. With such high hopes for this product, I asked for a replacement. Similar to all my purchases, I waited eagerly for my product to arrive. The second keyboard came, and I was just ecstatic! Lets put this bad boy to use I told myself. I wasnt a fool this time though. I instantly used this keyboard for work since I had a higher probability of hitting every key. Im my best QA -smirk-. Every key had worked without fail but I had noticed a small little detail Im glad I caught early. The LED indicator for keyboard light and game mode wasnt working. After a busy few hours of working, I plugged the keyboard into my PC and to my surprise, it had retained the RGB info I had set for the first keyboard. Good job Logitech, that G Hub came in handy. I fully expected the LED indicators to light up but it didnt. I tinkered with G Hub to see if I could get the LEDs to light up, but it had failed. I couldnt believe it...I had yet again got another faulty keyboard. I thought long and hard about replacing this keyboard one more time and finally came to the conclusion that I would just return the product. Hope this review helps/helped some of you.

> 3 dayi have had this keyboard for about 4 months now and the E button now double clicks and doesnt register the input half the time. Wouldnt be a problem if they werent solder and i could just swap them out. Logitechs support team is also the biggest dumpster fire of help and is more confusing than it needs to be.

Greater than one weekMy general opinion is that this is a decent keyboard. It looks cool, the colors are very bright, and its sturdy. However, I came across a couple problems. First of all, the keyboard was completely missing a cord when I got it. Second, the Shift and A keys were chipped on the black covering, as seen in the photo. The keys feel kind of weird to press, almost like I have to strain my hands just to press them. They just feel dry and harder to press down on than other keyboards Ive used. Just be aware that theres a chance youll received a messed up product.
