What Keyboard Does 910 Use?

Switches and actuation

The G715 is sold with three Logitech GX switch types, so the choice comes down to feel:

• GX Blue Clicky: an audible click and a tactile bump. It is the loudest of the three.
• GX Brown Tactile: a bump you can feel on the way down, without the click.
• GX Red Linear: a smooth press with no bump and no click, so every key feels the same.

In CS2 the keys do the simple work: strafing, crouching, walking, buying and using utility. Linear switches suit quick tapping and counter-strafing because nothing interrupts the press. Tactile switches give a bit of feedback on each press. Clicky switches give you the loudest confirmation.

The PCB is non-hotswappable, so the switches are soldered in. Pick the switch type when you buy, because you cannot swap it later without desoldering. If swapping switches later matters to you, the hotswappable Logitech G Pro X Keyboard below offers the same three switch types.

Should you buy 910's keyboard?

The G715 is a TKL board: the full layout without the number pad. That leaves more desk space beside the keyboard, and the board stays fairly compact at 37 cm wide and 15.7 cm deep. It is a solid, fairly heavy board at 975 g, and it has RGB. It suits anyone who wants a TKL layout with a choice of clicky, tactile or linear switches.

The alternatives trade off like this:

• Logitech G Pro X Keyboard: the same TKL layout and the same three switch types, but hotswappable. It is 5 g heavier, 0.2 cm shorter, 1 cm narrower and 0.3 cm lower than the G715. This is the pick if you want to change switches later.
• Logitech G Pro X TKL RAPID Black: optical switches and a non-hotswappable PCB. It is 25 g lighter, 0.7 cm shorter and 1.3 cm narrower, with the same height. It suits you if you want optical switches in a slightly smaller body.
• Logitech G915 TKL Carbon: GL Clicky, Tactile and Linear switches and a non-hotswappable PCB. It is 161 g lighter, 0.6 cm shorter, 0.3 cm narrower and 1.9 cm lower. It is the pick if you want a noticeably flatter and lighter board.

All three are TKL with RGB, so the decision comes down to switch type, hotswap support, weight and height.
