NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Today Logitech (SIX:LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI) announced the newest addition to
its G-Series line of high performance gaming products: the Logitech®
G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. Designed to help you focus on the
game, this keyboard is tested and tuned to deliver what gamers want:
minimal distraction, rapid response, and complete control.

"The Logitech G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard was created to meet the
specific needs of gamers," said Mark Starrett, senior global product
manager for Logitech. "We road tested this keyboard with professional
gamers, partners, publishers, and everyday gamers like you and me, to
ensure we've created a mechanical gaming keyboard that exceeds
expectations."
The keyboard's mechanical keys deliver gaming-grade responsiveness,
featuring an actuation force of 45g and distance of 4 mm, and are
optimized for rapid command entry. Additionally, the non-clicking key
switches have a built-in dampening ring underneath each keycap to
significantly reduce the distracting noise coming from your key presses
without sacrificing responsiveness. The keyboard has undergone a
torturous testing process to help ensure durability, with a cycle life
of at least a 50 million keystrokes.
The entire keyboard is backlit in white LED light, adjustable to one of
four brightness levels, and can be turned completely off. For better
visibility of the WASD and arrow keys, their brightness can be adjusted
independently of the rest of the keyboard.
Using the newly updated Logitech Gaming Software, you can assign complex
macros or intricate Lua gaming scripts to the keyboard's G-keys — both
on the fly and in advance — for up to 18 individual functions per game.
Plus, all 110 keys feature anti-ghosting and 26-key rollover to help
ensure you can execute complex key-commands with flawless precision. The
Logitech G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is compatible with Microsoft
Windows® 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista®.
"The first major event that I used the Logitech keyboard was at MLG
Summer Arena," said NYJacky from Team Curse. "I looked at my creep score
after the tournament and it was higher than normal. Most of the time you
need to get used to a keyboard - this one you just slip into quickly. I
would never, ever think of using anything else."
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is expected to be
available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in October and December 2012,
respectively, for a suggested retail price of $149.99. For more
