Unfortunately, in the case of both pieces of hardware, that does mean losing features.
#Logitech g710 keyboard software software#
Thankfully both the G710+ and G600 can be programmed and have profiles stored in their on-board memory so you really only have to bother with the software once. I did speak to a rep on the phone and explained the issues I saw (button lighting not consistently working correctly in the software, DPI adjustments getting reversed), so hopefully those will be covered.
#Logitech g710 keyboard software registration#
Being pestered for registration is aggravating, and while the keyboard side of the software seems to work smoothly, the mouse side is still buggy with the G600. I think this is cleaner than SetPoint or the software used for my G500 mouse, and it's easy to switch between the supported peripherals, but it still suffers from classic Logitech bloat. As with any peripheral, this is the weakest link in the experience. Hell, I'm typing on WASD keycaps right now which are not exactly hard to come by.Logitech has condensed their software into a single suite, the Logitech Gaming Software. The stuff I am looking for is kind of hard to come by (with the exception of massdrop) so I guess I now make that generalization for everyone. I was also looking for a poker II with clears for the longest time. I'm a little caught up in all the specialty sets like Granite and such. Sorry about all that but when I started writing the reply it just triggered something and I kept going.īut a gpu is no hard to find, actually you dont even need to "find one" really. I great example of all of this is the razer black widow (minus the initial run) because over the years the price has gone up as the quality has gone down. Once they realized that the software side wasnt selling they needed something else and thus returns RGB to become the next craze. Now with the cherry patent void they have returned but are no longer cheap ($80 min generally) and your getting a sub par product (kahil switches). This was also when the cheap or bare mech boards disappeared from many companies lines, at least for a while. This was all for marketing and to keep them a premium item, now at or even above the price of a solid enthusiast board. This got to the point of being able to remap or macro every key in the case of Roccat. Then more and more features got added, many that 90% of the uses wouldnt touch. (I bought a couple CM Storm QFR's for $35) Then they slowly introduced the gaming features that people were used to on their membrane boards at a slightly higher price point then removed the cheap ones. Companies initially launched them at prices far cheaper than enthusiast options trying to get a large number of people to use the tech and far more to know about it. Mechanical gaming keyboards have now gone though the whole cycle to become a commodity item. (Which BTW seems to basically be a Blue Yeti to me.) A good new example of this is razer's new seiren desktop mic. It also allows them to sell premium items that the consumers already want but none of the brands their used to offer. Mainly companies latch onto this for marketing. Its kinda like how IPS monitors, audiophile headphones, and desktop mic's have been picked up over time as more enthusiasts recommend that route to others. This community is where the gaming companies pull inspiration from when bringing mechanical keyboards into their product lines. You would not have any trouble finding keycaps for any of the boards they sell or ones sold on industry standards set long ago. There is actually a whole community built around enthusiast keyboards and customization. They likely never at any point considered that you would replace the keycaps or that the percentage of people that would was small enough to ignore. The main problem with finding keycaps for this specific board is that its a gaming board made by a mainstream company. You may have to put in a bit of effort to find exactly what you need which is probably something for the better. Unsurprisingly that is how I found and learned about this sort of stuff and most everything that I know in relation to tech. This is what makes it more comparable to a GPU's fan, not the GPU it self.Īll of this stuff can be found with research, sometimes very little. Also in the post you originally quoted was "just not a complete set for a board like that with a non standard bottom row". Most keyboard enthusiast retailers also sell keycaps. Well keycaps themselves are easy to find with a simple google search, or asking nicely on the forum for a recommended place.
