What is the opinion of Reddit about the Logitech K840 Mechanical Keyboard with Romer G mechanical Switches for PC?

A total of 12 reviews of this product on Reddit.

Logitech K840 for $60 on Amazon. Solid board from a well-known brand that will be reasonably quiet if you’re going to use it in an office environment.

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Mechanical-Keyboard-mechanical-Switches/dp/B071VHYZ62 doesn’t have rgb or a gamer ascetic but I can’t recommend this keyboard enough, romerg switches are like a mix of browns and blues and after using reds for 4 years I prefer romerg now.

It is hard to make a suggestion without knowing your preference.

With that said, there are boards you can get within your price range on Amazon.

One example is this

She’s done me good. I didn’t want RGB lights on my mechanical keyboard and this is what I found

The K840 is a basic KB that uses Romer switches, is a fill sized, and non-LED for around that price. It’s at $80 right now on Amazon usually $100.

The G413 is $100 right now on Amazon.

Romer G
Red LED
has usb pass-through
macro buttons built into the F keys
aluminum chassis so it is sturdier

I’m at work currently so that’s the best I can do for you right now. Sorry.

If u/lifelongcaboose isnt busy hes my go to when I want to know more about mice and keyboards on this sub. Though he’ll probably recommend other keyboards that dont use Romer G, which I would agree with him.

Caboose if you see this, this user is looking for a MX Brown feeling switch around $100, RGB not needed.

I have this keyboard at home, am I able to just pull out the switches, put these ones in and then top it off with these?

I’m planning on buying the Logitech K840 mechanical keyboard: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Mechanical-Keyboard-mechanical-Switches/dp/B071VHYZ62/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=logitech+mechanical+keyboard&qid=1598225734&sr=8-4

Wow that sucks.

Searched “mechanical keyboard” on Amazon and this is the first one that doesn’t say “gaming”

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Mechanical-Keyboard-mechanical-Switches/dp/B071VHYZ62/

Honestly, though… you should be able to convince them to get you a keyboard even if it says gaming. Maybe not an RGB one… Tell them a stranger on the internet said this:

“The best keyboards to type on are mechanical. The best keyboards to game on are mechanical. Manufacturers know that gamers want mechanical keyboards, so they put “gaming” in the name of products that might not even have a single gaming-specific feature. Simply having mechanical switches is now enough to call it a “gaming” keyboard.

Look for any keyboard that has mechanical switches, is well-reviewed, and doesn’t have RGB lighting. If it fits all the criteria, but has “Gaming” in the name, just get it anyway..”

If you dont want any backlight but still like the g413, heres this https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Mechanical-Keyboard-mechanical-Switches/dp/B071VHYZ62 . Its the k840, its a g413 with no backlight, thats the only difference.

yeah… you might as well get this because it as least has a numpad https://www.amazon.ca/Logitech-Mechanical-Keyboard-Switches-920-008350/dp/B071VHYZ62/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1515908821&sr=1-2&keywords=logitech+mechanical+keyboard
