Logitech G410 Atlas Spectrum Ultra Light Mechanical Gaming Keyboard : I’d say if you are looking for a gorgeous tenkeyless mechanical keyboard buy with romer-G switches, buy this on a discount.

I was excited to receive this keyboard, given the spec, and it’s in a price range that i normally wouldn’t consider given that there are excellent keyboards available for half the price. I often have to work in a dim or unlit environment due to the nature of my work, but as i touch type this isn’t a problem. For that reason, the novelty of the illuminated keys is a little redundant for my needs, though i know others may find it useful, be it gamers or those who aren’t touch typists. The default cyan illumination is rather bright and as a result glares a little, so you will probably want to adjust it, which you do by downloading software from the website provided. Gaming enhancements aside, i also have issues with this as a keyboard outright. The keys are a bit on the clunky side, and they are pretty noisy, so if you are planning to use this for a lot of typing, i would suggest you try a non-gaming board. As for the manufacturing, this is a sturdy piece of kit. It’s recommended for gamers only, which might seem obvious as this is a gaming keyboard, but i don’t think it’s a suitable as a multipurpose keyboard.

This is a keyboard aimed at gamers, rather than typists. The main justification for this seems to be that the keys use a mechanism that responds to a press some 25% faster than other keyboards; while this may indeed be true (it’s rather hard to tell. ) the resulting key feel isn’t going to make a typist very happy. There is no positive’click’ when a key registers, as you get on the best mechanical keyboards; just a thunk as the key hits the bottom of its travel. The keyboard’s other usp is the coloured backlighting, which enables you to set the colour of each key to your choice of 16. (why this amount of choice should be required is beyond me, but if you want it, it’s there. ) there is also a rather gimmicky pull-out stand for a smartphone or tablet which allows you to run logitech’s (free) arx control software on your phone. To use this, and indeed to set the key colours, you need to download and install logitech’s software for the keyboard. The web address given for the software is wrong – no excuse for this – and you need to search the site to find it.

Excellent keyboard, i like how every key colour can be changed independently, keys also feel nice while pressing. I do however miss having a num pad, didn’t realise how much i used it.

Coming from using membrane keyboards all my life this is one of the easiest adjustments i have had to make. The romer g keys have a familiar feel the only difference being its not as mushy as membrane and its slightly more springy (which is a welcome addition in my opinion)the rgb lighting truly is a sight for sore eyes as you can have it set to any colour you can think of and the lgs is very simple to use. I have been using it for quite some time as i also own the g502 mouse and the g430 headset and the keyboard is no exception everything is very customise-able which is always a plus in any pc gamer’s books. The keyboard is the perfect size for my current work desk as it isn’t very big and thanks to the keyboards tenkeyless design i have more room for erratic hand movements whilst going ham on csgo. All in all a great choice for a for a gaming keyboard all aspects have been nailed on the head i couldn’t be happier. Plus logitech gave me a free code for the division on uplay which i was surprised to see actually but who doesn’t just love free games.

Performanceat first, i was a bit skeptical of how much performance the g410 atlas spectrum would offer. When i first started using it, it felt as if i was typing directly on a spring, which was a bit odd. However, after a good few days of using it and getting used to it, i could see it for what it was worth. During my testing, i did a mass amount of typing and gaming so i could get an all around feel for it, as at the end of the day it is a gaming keyboard. Typing is what took me the most time to get used to. When i first started using it, it just felt a bit off but as mentioned, after a few days i started to get used to it and typing on it became much easier and more fluent. I spend a lot of time typing, between reviews and running a load of social media accounts so i need something that will not only stand the test of time but is also comfortable to type on. My typing style is a bit unique as i mentioned previously and the g410 suits it perfectly thanks to the way they have designed the wrist rest on it. At the end of my testing, i would almost say my typing speed may have improved a tiny bit. I’m not positive but it definitely was, at least, on par with that of any cherry mx switch i have tried.

At first the keys will feel a bit weird, but after a day of use this will go and you will have a decent keyboard.

It is very light and about 7 cm shorter than a normal keyboard so can fit in a bag if you want to take it to a mate’s house. The keys stand up high with a spring underneath (like little cubes) – very like old keyboards – so you do hear a click, click as you use them but your fingers and hand have to be placed a bit higher than usual which i found is more comfortable for me and don’t get any wrist or knuckle ache like i sometimes experience with flat laptop type keyboards. The keyboard lights up blue behind the keys when used and the numbers and letters etc printed on the keys allow the blue light to shine through too (it is a kind of dark turquoise blue) – great if you like playing with the lights out. To customise keys to use and a colour display you need to install some software (provided) on to your pc and then download an app for your android phone that allows you select the options to create a bespoke keyboard. A stand is provided to keep your phone upright for ease of use. I would have preferred to be able to customise the keyboard from the desktop – having to use your phone is just a complication. However i do lreally like the keyboard – it makes a whole day and evenings play much more comfortable on my hands and my responses better as i have customised the keys for my optimal usage. I also like to use it for normal browsing and word processing use – i like the large cuboid keys.

Excellent tenkeyless keyboard with relatively quiet keys. Shame it’s not programmable, but the lighting configurations work well and are easy to use.

This is seriously an awesome piece of kit. I will be honest upfront and admit im not a gamer, but i do use my computer a lot in the dark because of health issues and a lighted keyboard is an absolute must. It is simple as anything to set up, you just plug and play pretty much, you have to download the logitech’s arx control companion app from itunes or the google play store which allows you to alter the key colours, i personally found this a bit annoying, i would much rather of been able to download the software to my desktop and been able to control it from there, the fact that when i want to change colours i have to turn on the bluetooth, access the app from my phone and do it there. The keyboard has the stand for your phone built in so you can sit it on the keyboard to alter your colours, when you dont want it anyway it slides back inside the keyboard. For the youngsters in the world im sure they find this cool, i hate it. You can switch your keyboard into game mode via a single switch on the keyboard, this disables all the windows keys so you can play without being interrupted or pressing the wrong keys. The backlighting is apparantly able to display 16. 8 million colours but it cant let me pick a decent shade of purple, all the greens and blues look the same, but ive found that with a lot of rgb lighting that you cant seem to differentiate between one shade and another. Overall i like it, it does a good job, i miss the number pad though and wish it was on there, but its a good keyboard, lighting is cool, keys seem solid, so far so good.

My son is the gamer in this family, so this keyboard is for him. The verdict of a 14 year old?. ‘the coolest keyboard ever invented’. The g410 atlas spectrum is only suitable for gaming. I am a writer, who types fast and i like to use an ergonomically designed keyboard. The keys on this keyboard are upright, and it’s impossible to type quickly, so it’s for gamers. It’s image has graced social media, and it is the ‘must try’ for any young visitors. I would like to upload the coos of excitement i recorded, but teenspeak doesn’t make for pleasant listening and an appropriate review. I’ve asked my son for help with this review, so this is the verdict of a teenage, game player. Romer-g mechanical switches – 10 out of 10 yes, superfast.

The keyboard is gorgeous, the keys are perfect, the feel is perfect, i love the led functions, but the wristpad is way too small and irritates my hand easily.

This is a solid mechanical keyboard for gaming. It has full spectrum rgb backlighting far all 87 keys, and both the gaming mode and backlighting switches have rgb leds in them as well. I bought this keyboard due to limited desk space and have to say i’m actually impressed. The switches feel significantly more responsive and actuate much higher up than cherry mx ones, are much quieter and significantly softer as well, which makes this an ideal keyboard for use over long periods. -gamingfor gaming this is great due to the anti-ghosting (especially noticeable in mobas and fast paced fps such as cs:go) and the light keypress, which reduces fatigue after the use over long periods. The logitech software allows you to heat map your keypresses, which is good to see which way you tend to strafe or tendencies you have to improve gameplay. The software also allows zone lighting to illuminate only the keys you need whilst playing. Typing:for short to medium periods of time this keyboard is awesome. The responsiveness lets you know the letters you press are there as well as the light keypress reducing fatigue. That being said, this is a mechanical keyboard and every so often i do find myself having a short break from typing to alleviate the fatigue i’d built up; still i have to do that on most keyboards, so it’s not such a bad point.

The atlas g410 spectrum keyboard, was just what i was looking for. A ten keyless keyboard that’s small looks good and performs well, nice customable rgb per key lighting. The mechanical keys seem to me to be durable and feel quick and responsive. Only things i’d say slight downside are the arx dock i don’t really see a need for. And the half wrist rest could have been full length but i do see why they did it, it is a gaming keyboard so right hand going to be using the mouse.

This is a gaming keyboard that fails at being a good gaming keyboard and scrapes in at being ok. The good points about this keyboard, such as it’s weight (light), mechanical keys, backlighting, and key responsiveness, is let down by its bad points such as overgimmicky features that really aren’t necessary. The keyboard is detected easily by your os when plugged in, and its firmware and drivers are easy to keep updated. Keystrokes are detected well and although the keystrokes are a little crunchy and resistive to begin with, that improves with use. As with most branded gaming keyboards this keyboard also comes with a set of macro keys and a switch that allows you to switch between windows mode and gaming mode, a handy feature for disabling the start key. The keys themselves are individually lit, and the colours can be chosen from what is claimed to be an impressive spectrum of choice. As for the bad points: a large chunk of the drivers that allow you to use the features of the keyboard such as set the lighting for the keys are done via an app, rather than via drivers for your os. This means that everytime you want change something you have to unlock your phone and sync it with the keyboard. The keyboard also comes with a built in dock for your phone, but there is no chance that i even want to try and plug my phablet into a vertical slot on the top back of the keyboard because i don’t consider a feature that allows my keyboard to become top heavy and have a chance to flip over if the table is knocked the wrong way any kind of feature at all. The keys can be individually backlit, but there are keyboards out there that allow relevant blocks of keys for gaming to be individually lit and too be honest that is as much of a lighting feature as i need. I really don’t need the ability to change the wasd keys so each has its own individual colour. The blurb for this keyboard also claims that the keyboard can display 16. Now, i’m good with colours and do an awful lot of work with them. 8 million colours, but they aren’t differentiated well enough for my eyes to pick them out. Blue tends to be blue until it becomes either green or red, or a dark blue or a light blue, so on and so forth. As for purple, um, not really, not what i would consider a good range of purples anyway.

Great deal from amazon marketplace – was looking for non-number pad to save space.

For gamers who don’t want a noisy keyboard that is responsive and has rgb lighting, this is absolutely perfect. The small form factor is great for those with smaller desks (myself included) and for those who like to have their keyboard at an angle for fps games like csgo or battlefield. The keys are precise and have a nice feel to the click but aren’t too noisy like cherry mx blue switches that can be found on keyboards from brands like corsair and cooler master. Build quality is also fantastic and seems to be durable.

Go it really cheap from amazon warehouse plus discount. Love the size of it, the feeling when typing and the way the backlight is implemented. The fact that it can be managed under the same logitech software, as my g602 mouse and g13 gamepad, is a big bonus.

Logitech G410 Atlas Spectrum Ultra Light Mechanical Gaming Keyboard without Numeric Keypad (QWERTZ, German keyboard layout), Black : Perfect if you don’t have a lot of space.

This is honestly a pretty decent keyboard, if bought at a good price. Pros:- pretty rgb backlit (with a good degree of customisability using the logitech software)- lightweight- mechanical switches (romer-g)cons:- loud lose spacebar- springs sound springy- priceyso the tenkeyless design isn’t for everybody. But it does chip off the price a bit compared to its full sized brethren and it might appeal to people who want portability for those lan parties, don’t have a lot of desk space, and don’t mind the absence of a numberpad. To those who are already familiar with cherry mx type switches, romers will feel very different. The romer’s really high actuation point will be more reminiscent of membranes but don’t require as much force or require you to push the key all the way down. Their closest cherry mx equivalent would be the browns. They don’t feel as smooth as cherry mx switches though and their springs make quite noticeable spring sounds. Logitech still needs to refine the romer-g in my opinion. I’d say if you are looking for a gorgeous tenkeyless mechanical keyboard buy with romer-g switches, buy this – preferably on a discount.

Very pretty but still quite expensive.

I’m knocking on a bit now, so i’m old enough to remember when keyboards were big and clacketty. Key travel was pretty long and the keyboards were big and clunky. They were also expensive, too, as each key had an seperate spring mechanism and was moulded in two colours, with the letter colour plastic moulded through the key colour plastic so as thge key wore, the legend remained perfectly visible, if somewhat shiny. Despite the long travel, a good keyboard had a cream smooth action and each press was terminated with a solid feel without a jarring sensation. The ergonomics weren’t always ideal, with many keys raised uncomfortably high, but there were some seriously good keystroke actions available. As time passed, the budget keyboard became increasingly ubiquitous, and many, including myself, mouned the passing of the high-quality keyboads we had in out office. Yeah they were reasonably smooth, but the had lost the clack of the earlier keayboards and were chap and plasticky. Gone were the individual springs, the two-colour moulded keys and the wonderful feel. What remained was a utilitarian keyboared designed to be disposed of when it failed or the computer was upgraded. And so we have the logitech g410.

It’s compact having lost the number pad so if you are short on desk space it’s worth considering. The rest of the keys are well spaced feel nice and responsive to use. I can’t say if it has improved my gaming, i personally don’t think it has made any difference, but it all depends on what keyboard you are using at the moment. The light system is comprehensive. Download the gaming software from logitecs web site and you can control the colours of each individual key and set up key patterns for each of your games, this will take an age if you set up for each one individually. I found this useful for games i play periodically to quickly remind me of the key layout. If you play in the dark it is a must. Although the kb is light the rubber pads on the base are excellent and it doesn’t slide at all on a desk. Now the bad (why only 3*)this is, i believe, an entry level keyboard for logitecs g range on reading the instructions you find that a lot of the functionality on the other keyboards in the series is missing, there are no g or m buttons to allow multiple macros for example if you don’t want these then this isn’t an issue but for the price they could have added 1 or 2.
