Logitech's latest RGB keyboard comes with a copy of The Division

Logitech announced its latest keyboard, the G810 Orion Spectrum, comes with a copy of Tom Clancy's The Division.

February 4, 2016 6:26 AM

Logitech has revealed its latest RGB mechanical keyboard, the G810 Orion Spectrum.

The Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum RGB mechanical gaming keyboard is a full-sized keyboard that features Logitech’s Romer-G mechanical switches and intelligent RGB illumination. The keyboard has been precisely engineered to offer a uniquely-crafted design, which is said to deliver peak performance during gaming sessions.

The Romer-G mechanical switches deliver a near-instant response when pushed, allowing keys to input their command up to 25% faster than standard mechanical switches.

As with Logitech’s past RGB keyboards, the G810 is able to offer over 16.8 million colors, allowing users to personalize each individual key light. Owners of other RGB-enabled Logitech devices will also be able to synchronize lighting effects through the company’s Logitech Gaming Software.

The G810 Orion Spectrum RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is now available for pre-order for $159.99, and each purchase comes with a copy of Tom Clancy’s The Division, which is a pretty sweet deal if you ask us.

If you're interested in the G810 Orion Spectrum, but want something similar to it right now, check out our reviews of the G910 Orion Spark and G410 Atlas Spectrum.

  HAH! You should mention in the article that this keyboard is $160. Who the fuck would pay $160 for a loud ass keyboard that lights up in multiple colors.

      I'm ok with that, but I'm not ok with you not putting the price of a peripheral in a article talking about pre-ordering said peripheral is bad journalism.

        I thought I put it in there. It wasn't left out on purpose. I went ahead and updated the story with its price.

    The keyboard is something you use 90% of the time (maybe 80% if you use a gamepad extensively) on your PC. I'm willing to pay a premium for a comfortable keyboard.
    
    However, the MS4000's raised lower portion has completely spoiled me from using all other keyboards. Incidentally, the MS4000 is really cheap, completely contradicting my first point.

    Input devices are the part of your computer you directly use the most. Don't skimp on them.
    
    I can totally see not wanting to pay for RGB lighting, but a good keyboard can easily be worth that price.

  About time they went with normal caps and board. G-keys and concave caps were dumb. Overpriced though and I'd rather go Ducky since I hate needing drivers for keyboards. The Romer-G switches are pretty nice though - evenly lit and quick actuation, even if they do sadly have the cherry brown-style bump rather than just being linear like I prefer. </keyboard_nerd>

    Good question! They haven't been giving their gamepads as much love as their gaming mice, keyboards, and headsets.

  I'm going to assume "Romer-G Switches" is Logitech marketing for "cheap Chinese knock-off switches."
