    So we have three RGB keyboards now?
     
    Corsair RGB
    Razer RGB
    Logitech RGB
     
    I plan on buying the corsair k70 RGB with blue switches when it's released. 
     
    The logitech one does look nice though.

    I wish they added a screen similar to the g19 to this keyboard.  I like monitoring precision on my keyboard instead of on my monitor.

    Might want to hold off on Corsair RGB until they fix the current issues with that keyboard. Lots of people are reporting no Lights after reboot and every few hours they have to move move bios switch or unplug/plug keyboard back in. 
     
    I think Corsair rushed the product to market to cash in on 1 year exclusive on new RGB MX Cherry switches.

    Logitech G910 Orion Spark RGB mechanical keyboard has smartphone integration.
     
    Using the bundled app, players can track basic information about your system or keyboard usage as it stands, but an SDK has been created, so theoretically game makers could have everything from a minimap to hints and tips about game aspects, if they were willing to develop it.
     
    Source

     
    Now we know why Logitech never bothered to make a mechanical key board with a LCD screen. The Orion Spark comes with a stand for smartphones.

    I heard there's already a second revision for the red switch model. Also the brown/blue switch model hasn't been released yet and will probably already have the fix.

    THis is what I was waiting for a mechanical keyboard with a display option, I do wonder what phones and such will and won't be compatible however.

    I tested All three of them  ,the Logitech G910, K70,and the Chroma.
     
    The Chroma uses something similar to the green switches, very loud, not a fan, but it feels nice when typing..
     
    K70 has the best feeling for typing, i mean key space is perfect.  But the software is horrible.
     
    The G910 is uncomfortable to type on, shape of the key caps is odd. but it is quiet. software is easy to use but lacking a very important function, the Per game /program per Color mapping... which bugs me a lot...

    you are lucky then, i am wondering what platform you have. you will find all kinds of complains in lots of forums.
    same problem, freezes ,fails to be detected, unable to enter BIOS, slow down windows boot up...

    You download the ARX app and that ARX logo at the top pulls out and becomes a dock for your phone running the app.

    The ARX app has no way to replace the dedicated screen on G19/G510s, plus, no one wants the phone screen to be one all the time ...that burns battery

    I think the phone screen is way better, its larger and looks better. Also you're at a desk... get a phone charger.
     
    As my friends say at work "I'm old and don't want to learn new things!".
     
     
    -also note that I haven't used this product yet.

    I tried out the G910 when I was at Best Buy around XMAS last year... I really liked it and definitely wanted to own one, but some of the features were a little too over the top for the games I play. It was really aimed at MMORPG players.
     
    I tried out the Razor Chroma on display, they were loud, like annoying loud... but those were MX blues, I didn't see the green's. They were definitely easy to type on, but I wouldn't like it for gaming.
     
    The Corsair K70 looked nice and felt nice, but the price at the time was about $140 and I couldn't justify it. I also didn't like how the keys stood off the keyboard so things could easily get underneath them.
     
    I ended up getting a G710+ in between Black Friday and Cyber Monday for $89 and I now feel like i'm spoiled sometimes when I am at work, having to use a non-mechanical keyboard. I also love how Logitech included the rubber o-rings to really cut down on the clacking of the keys. Mine is quiet, couldn't be happier.
