Is this a decent gaming keyboard? Picked up at my local Goodwill for $10

    It’s good for $10 for sure

    I’d say the main issue with it is just it’s using proprietary switches and keycaps so if anything breaks you have a slim chance of repairing it

  2. Love mine. But as others have said proprietary switches/key caps. I had a switch break. Bought a second one and swapped the switches which does require soldering

    I had six switches fail on this board and just in general wasn’t a fan of the switches. Loved the functionality though.

    I’ve had this board for a few years now. I absolutely love it. $10 is definitely a good price for a good board.

    That is a G910 Orion spark. Has Romer-G switches. Definitely a decent one

    You were scammed. I’ll give you $15 for it so you’ll forget the heinous purchase.

    Am I the only one that wouldn’t buy a used mouse or keyboard? How about a headset?

    Hey that’s my guy! Almost 8 years old and it’s seen plenty of use.

    I have this key. Used it daily at work for 5 years. And had it at home for 3-4 years (or less, i dont remember) prior.

    It did the job well. However, its having an issue where the keys are double pressing. Even after a clean and dust, still having issues. Might have to retire it soon.

    But overall, i was really happy with it.

    I got a semi off this. Look at all those keys. Fucking beautiful.

    These skinny bitches half a keyboard made me forget how beautiful a big black keyboard could be

    I’ve been using mine for nine years. The C key recently died and I replaced the switch. imo your goodwill find is a steal.

    I mean, for 10 bucks, sure.

    but keebs are usually the type of logitech product I steer very clear off, even more so used.

    this will break and it will start doing double presses if it hasn’t done that already. and romerG switches are proprietary, hard to find used, not that good to begin with and even new prone to failure. not to mention the keeb itself is usually a pain to disassemble considering you’re gonna go through a lot of work to get a mediocre result.

    then again, for a tenner, so long as it works it’s a win.

    I paid $7 for mine so still good but not as good

    At $10 there’s no doubt it’s a good deal. As long as all the switches work.

    I had one for a couple years and it got the dreaded double press. Still I absolutely loved it and plan on buying another.

    I actually use this exact keyboard. My main complaint is that the keys are kinda fragile, and it’s dependent on the shitty Logitech software to even keep it out of demo mode. I got it for about $100 new about 6 years ago, so $10 is a steal.

    As an avid New Vegas fan, being able to bind quicksave+quickload to a button is awesome.

  17. I have one and had been dailying it for something like 7 years.

    Good feature full keyboard and a steal for $10.

    I personally quite enjoy the romer-g switches despite what some people say.

    However it has its problems.

    Legs of Keycaps that generally get hit at an angle can break off over time and leave a piece inside the switch, making it problematic to replace. I had that happen to the bottom left ctrl twice.

    Switches themselves are difficult to replace (as with most keyboards).

    Towards the start of this year, mine started double/triple typing on some common vowels. I figured it was about time i swapped it out.

    Give it a test in store (if you can) to make sure everything is working. Key chatter problems could make it too unreliable to be usable for you.

    Good find, looks clean too. Man, I’ve been doing jobs where we drop 10k in furniture to goodwill because we don’t have enough time to take it somewhere to sell it before the next job. You could DEFINITELY get lucky going to a goodwill around the rich areas around the cities.

    I use the phone dock every single day 10/10

    I used that keyboard for a few years, and it’s one of my favorites I have ever had. Honestly though it took me a good month to really get used to it, it felt way different than any mechanical keyboard I had used at the time, but once I did I felt really comfortable with it. The only reason I don’t use it still is because of the size, I have a Noppoo Choc Mini and I really enjoy how much extra space having a smaller keyboard affords me so I can sweep my mouse easier in FPS with low sensitivity.

    I used to rock this bored before I made myself a custom. I loved this keyboard and it’s done me well for many years.
