Now it will be easier than ever to fully concentrate on what is happening beyond the screen. The keyboard is designed in such a way that all dynamic operations can be performed without laborious movements. They are such effective technologies in practice.
The elements of the device were carefully thought out by engineers down to the smallest details. These include a matte surface. It will be quite difficult to notice fingerprints on it. The cable has a good margin of safety. Colored backlight. Mechanical switches are ultra-reliable and ultra-fast. The latest technology and excellent quality distinguish Logitech keyboards.
Mechanical switches
They are called Romer-G. Logitech keyboards feature this innovative, unique design to reduce the time it takes for functions to respond. Conventional switches are 25 percent less efficient in this regard. Don't think that a quarter of a whole number doesn't matter. On the contrary, the difference in the game becomes very noticeable, because speed here is the key to advantage and superiority over a potential opponent: not just every second, but every millisecond counts. Before introducing this technology into Logitech keyboards, engineers tested it on individual models, bringing the switches to near perfection. By the way, Roger-G is forty percent more reliable than Cherry MX.
Spectral color illumination
Some Logitech keyboards, reviews of which you can find at the end of this article, use LED-type spectral backlighting. This means that the keys will glow in different colors of the rainbow. Moreover, this backlight can be adjusted by the user himself. To do this, you just need to install special software, and then go to the settings item. There you can set the key to one of 16.8 million shades. Sometimes this feature is quite useful. Logitech keyboards, reviewed in this article, will help in games with a large number of objects or functions to clearly understand which backlit key is programmed for a particular action.

Connector definition
How to connect a keyboard to a computer, including wireless and bluetooth? For correct and quick connection, you first need to determine the type and what connectors are provided in this model.
In older machines, they are most often connected using 5-pin (DIN) connectors. In modern models, the connection is made using a mini-DIN connector or PS/2. When connecting using a PS/2 plug, it is important not to confuse the color - purple is intended for the keyboard, and green is intended for the mouse. If connected incorrectly, the device may not work, so you will have to swap the wires.
Keyboard shortcuts
Users often ask how to disassemble a Logitech keyboard. In fact, a lot depends on the design of a particular model. Nevertheless, the algorithm is extremely simple.

However, it is worth remembering that it is best and safest to take the device to a service center, where specialists will take care of it.

Keyboard G-105
This model has several impressive features. Among them we can highlight LED backlighting, for example. If you like to play in low light conditions or just at night, then you will never be able to lose sight of the keys. The LED backlight can be adjusted by third parties at two levels. However, during the day you can easily simply deactivate it to reduce eye strain.
Programmable keys
The G-105 model has 6 programmable keys, which can greatly simplify the performance of complex actions. There are three separate modes here. Together they provide stable access to macro combinations, as well as the use of unique functions. G-keys are designed to give the user instant access to a wide variety of functionalities that can be applied with just one press. This can be turning on the microphone, recording the process inside the game, and much more.
Keyboard shortcuts
Sometimes during a heated battle taking place on the display, you need to instantly perform an action that is activated by pressing a few keys. For this purpose, the keyboard design provides appropriate elements. Multi-key combinations are something that many players often lack. But in the case of the G-105 model, consider this problem solved. Combination keys allow you to perform complex movements in one click. Even if you press all six keys at the same time, each of them will be processed by the processor.
Switch
Accidental key presses can sometimes result in you simply crashing the game instead of hitting it. This is what leads to the fact that the user at the last moment misses the opportunity to score a couple of extra points in order to either get into the top 3 or lead the same top. With the G-105 keyboard this possibility is potentially eliminated. The device has a built-in special switch key, by pressing which you block the possibility of flying to the desktop of your personal computer or laptop.
How to connect a keyboard and mouse with a USB interface
This connection is perhaps the simplest. And lately, the USB interface on keyboards and mice has become common. In laptops and other portable PCs, this connection is predominantly used.
USB interface
There is nothing complicated here. Just take the wire from your mouse or keyboard and plug it into one of the free USB ports (the same ones where you plug in flash drives). The computer can be left turned on.
Once you connect your mouse or keyboard via USB, your operating system will begin installing drivers for the device (all this happens automatically, you don't need to do anything). And when the drivers are installed, a message about this will appear. Now you can use it.
Review models reviews, advantages and disadvantages
The G810 Orion Spectrum keyboard has several strengths, including its optimized design. It provides the most efficient gaming performance, allowing the user to play without taking their eyes off the screen. Also, as an advantage, we can mention ultra-sensitive mechanical type switches. The role of a unique feature, of course, is the LED backlight, which can be made either monochromatic or multi-colored. Multimedia operation controls allow you to avoid distractions while watching movies or listening to music. Multi-key shortcuts are a great addition.
In general, the G-105 keyboard has similar advantages. However, its illumination can be extremely monotonous. And the controls are not as convenient as in the first model. Nevertheless, the difference in price is noticeable: 12 and 3.5 thousand rubles, respectively.
It is quite difficult to identify any significant shortcomings, unless the coating wears off over time. Otherwise, there are no complaints about the models. In general, the manufacturing quality of these devices can be assessed as high. Rest assured that they will serve you faithfully for a long time and without software failures.
Connecting a wireless model
The Bluetooth model, like any other OS, is connected to Windows 10 in the same way as in the previous case - via the USB port.
As a rule, a wireless model, mouse or mouse+keyboard set comes with a receiver - a special module that picks up a radio signal and transmits it through the computer’s USB port. Without such a module, not a single model, even the most sophisticated one, will work.
There are also input devices that work not via Bluetooth, but via Wi-Fi and other radio channels. There is no particular difference between them, other than the carrier frequency: they all use a receiver connected to a computer.
If it is lost, you should use another one of the same type: often even keyboards and receivers of different models that match all the characteristics are not compatible with each other (this applies to radio options).
As a rule, the Bluetooth receiver is either already built into the device platform (into the motherboard of a PC or laptop), or is purchased separately.
