Logitech unveils G410 Atlas Spectrum TKL Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Throughout the years, desktop keyboard quality has suffered greatly. Computer manufacturers are understandably dealing with small profits on each computer sold, so cutting corners on the included keyboard and mouse probably seemed like a way to save some money. Sadly, many consumers did not realize that they were eventually typing on spongy, low-quality crap.

To the delight of many, myself included, mechanical keyboards are making a huge comeback. While most PC manufacturers will not be including the more expensive keyboards, consumers have a lot of options when buying them separately. Today, Logitech announces its latest mechanical variant, the G410 Atlas Spectrum TKL.

"The Logitech G410 features our exclusive Romer-G mechanical switches as well as intelligent RGB illumination, so you can individually customize the lighting in every key from a palette of 16.8 million colors when paired with the Logitech Gaming Software. You can also mark keys by color to keep track of spells and other commands, change colors to match your setup, or create customized game profiles. This keyboard provides the ideal lighting for your ultimate gaming environment", says Logitech

The company further says, "the Logitech G410 also comes with a Logitech G Arx Control dock. The dock supports most iOS and Android devices, providing easy access to the Logitech G Arx app that displays a wide range of in-game information on your mobile device".

While the focus is on gaming, there is no reason non-gamers can't buy this. Quite frankly, this should prove to be a great option for typists and writers too. PC builders should appreciate the customizable lighting, as they can match the lights and colors of their system -- I'm sure many AMD fans will love to make it glow red.

The smartphone second-screen option is intriguing, although probably gimmicky. While I appreciate supporting both Android and iOS, the universal nature of the dock seems to show it as being nothing more than a piece of plastic. In other words, it will not charge your device while in use, meaning the battery on your phone will run down from the screen being on. The slot also looks thin, so thicker phones with cases probably won't fit.

If you are interested in purchasing, you can pre-order it for $129 here.
