Problems, parts and running costs

Summary

A full-size membrane gaming keyboard with five-zone RGB lighting, dedicated media controls and an integrated palm rest, aimed at gamers who want Logitech’s software and lighting without paying for mechanical switches. Check the price first: at $59.99 on the Logitech G store (checked November 2026) it is reasonable, and reviews read the board as overpriced higher up.

Strengths

  • Five lighting zones with roughly 16.8 million colors, syncable with other Logitech G gear.
  • Dedicated media keys mean you can change volume without leaving the game.
  • The integrated palm rest and two-level feet made long sessions bearable for that reviewer.

Weaknesses

  • Membrane switches, not mechanical: PCWorld describes a bubble-wrap feel, PCMag calls the keys mushy and reports flubbed keystrokes.
  • The case flexes, most visibly with the feet raised, and Digital Trends calls the construction flimsy.
  • Lighting is five-zone rather than per-key, and Digital Trends and PCWorld both describe it as splotchy with banding, especially in the function row.
  • At its MSRP of $69.99, several reviewers say you are paying mechanical-keyboard money for membrane feel.

How the Mech-Dome switches feel

This is where reviewers split. PCMag found the same keys mushy, and PCWorld reported frequent letter reversals and omissions and called the typing “maddeningly imprecise”. Digital Trends put it differently: the membrane layout limits the tactile and audible feedback options and offers no per-key reactive lighting.

Logitech markets 4 mm of key travel and 50 g of actuation force, and no independent test in the sources verified either figure, so treat them as claims rather than measurements. Nothing in the reviewed sources covers switch life, rollover mode or polling rate, so expect no numbers on how long the keys last.

RGB lighting and build quality

The lighting is the first thing to check in person. It runs in five zones across the board rather than per key, which gives it far fewer options than a mechanical board with per-key RGB. Digital Trends found the backlight splotchy with a noticeable blue tint, and PCWorld saw the same banding, worst in the function row. Trusted Reviews simply found the lighting great. If the glow is what you are buying, that difference decides the purchase.

The chassis is plastic throughout, and the board is 8.6 × 17.8 × 1.3 in and weighs 2.4 lb. PCMag calls the weight “not insignificant” but still more compact than the Corsair K95 RGB. The non-detachable, slightly sloped wrist rest adds roughly two inches of depth, which is why PCWorld counted it among the largest keyboards they have seen. Reviewers also report flex in the case, clearest when the feet are raised.

Spills and upkeep

The design points in the right direction: PCWorld notes elevated switch mounting holes in a trough meant to steer spills away from the electronics. Real performance under a knocked-over drink is unverified. Wipe the board down periodically and keep the trough clear of dust.

Is it worth it?

At $59.99 on the Logitech G store (checked November 2026) this is a reasonable buy for someone who wants RGB, media keys and spill resistance and does not want mechanical switches. Above that, the same money buys Logitech’s own G610 and G810 or Corsair and Razer boards with real mechanical switches, which is why Digital Trends and PCWorld both called the $69.99 MSRP overpriced and PCWorld said the board would be better value at $30. Trusted Reviews, the one strongly positive review, still limits its “spectacular value for money” verdict to the membrane category.
