When Logitech announced its G710+ gaming keyboard last week, there were a couple of good reasons to take notice. On one hand, gaming releases from Logitech don't come as often as they used to. On the other... one word: "mechanical".

Let that sink in for a moment. Logitech, amid all of its competitors that have been offering mechanical options for some time, has finally decided to release its own. On launch day, I swear I could have heard Logitech's massive fanbase collectively say, "It's about time!"

But - while Logitech does tend to produce some of the highest-quality peripherals out there (based on personal experience), its competitors cannot be immediately discredited. Cooler Master, Corsair, Rosewill, Razer and of course, Das, have been building mechanical models for a while, and their experience is clear. In fact, we've taken a look at quite a number of mechanical keyboards in just the past year, and while some were better than others, it's unlikely anyone would be truly unhappy with any of them.
