Awesome speakers

I originally looked at these and like other people,I thought they were kind of bright. I ended up going with Mirage OMD 15's 1st. Sent those back and got Def Tech 8060's. They sounded nice but I didn't like how they look and they had sort of an edgy sound. I broke all these speakers in ,but never cranked them anyhow. Went back to BB and listened to the Logan's again,I wanted to pull them out and place them a little better.Wow! What a difference that made. They had a new pair of open box,I bought those. 1 was defective,took it back and got another demo unit. They look like new. I have no idea how many hours are on them,but they sound incredible. I love when friends come over and go up to the speaker and say,where is the sound coming from. LOL Also,you might have to adjust the rake of the speaker with the screw in feet. Makes a big difference. These speakers just took music to a new level compared to my old Paradigm monitor 7's.
What's great about it: Sound,looks.
What's not so great: nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

These speakers replaced my defective Martin Logan Source. The ElectroMotions sound too bright and lack the warmth and deatil of other Logan's that I have owned. They look very good and need a lot less power to drive them, but this comes at a price with sound quality being compromised...I just do not understand what ML did here?

You do need to get the right toe in and you can adjust the rake so they are almost straight up and down. Makes a big difference. I'm running mine with an Onkyo 805 and I have zero problems. Sound is awesome! You do need a sub tho. I know they only go down to 40 hz,but I have mine on full band and they sound best that way,fuller.. Experimenting is the key.. Glad you like them,you should edit your review or post another one to update.. :)

By Superstix

The glasses do not connect to all Panasonic models. These 3D glasses are even advertised on the Best Buy web site as an accessory for Model: TC-P65ST30 which is the model I purchased. Unfortunately, they do not connect to my TV and finding glasses is impossible per the earlier reviewer. Best Buy is losing my faith!

Sounds like an apple apologist. Couldn't figure it out,your joking,couldn't set up your email,your joking. So you rated this tablet a 1 cause you couldn't figure out what a 13 yr old girl could. You can't make people like you up!

5 out of 5Amazing Keyboard!
By Dylan121
I've been looking into the New RGB K series keyboards from Corsair for sometime now. I was having trouble deciding which I would want; k65,k70, etc.
Ultimitely I went to BestBuy and decided on the K65. Some people might question why I would not want the side numberpad - Simply put it wasn't worth it to me, I don't use it and it adds extra space. Anyways lets go onto pros and cons
Pros:
- Excellent build quality
- Great keys (CherryMX)
- Wrist rest is comfortable!
- SO MUCH CUSTOMIZATION
- EVERY KEY CAN BE REBOUND TO ANY ACTION
- Satisfying typing, that doesn't cause a "hard push" or "finger fatigue" caused by traditional keyboards.

Cons:
- Software: Let me first start off by saying, this software is extremely buggy. From my initial setup I had to reboot the program because the firmware kept failing.

Once I got it working, there was not any helpful tool tips, and the manual is online and literally over 100 pages.
HOWEVER -- this was not enough for me to take a star off. Why you might ask? Because I eventually figured out how everything worked, and once I did -- IT WAS AWESOME. There is so manydifferent layouts, patterns etc.
tl;dr - if you don't want the larger version of this, and are looking for a great RGB keyboard - GET THIS. Skip the Razer Chroma. Every key is reboundable as well, so there's no need to spend the extra cash on the extra F keys on the more expensive model.

Nice review
October 12, 2014
I'm on the fence on these keyboards as well. I'm leaning towards the Corsair K65 RGB,but I'm not sure I'll like the red switches.. I'm kind of fond of the tactile feel of the blues.

2 out of 5Mediocre Keyboard for a Luxery Price
By RLBeard
I had high expectations of this Razor keyboard. Unfortunately, the keys stick (repeat) quite frequently. This is very frustrating considering this is supposed to be a top-notch gaming keyboard. At almost $200, it has way too many instances of sticking keys, which makes me very upset. Also, the Razor software causes the keyboard to turn off and reset itself. I uninstalled the Razor software at these problems went away.

The keys stick...Really? There is nothing wrong with this keyboard and the price isn't too high! Why don't you just exchange it for another one instead of reviewing it like a little kid. I had this keyboard and it was flawless. I returned it for the Corsair K65 RGB,but I like the Razer's keys much better.

Oh its user error to be sure,just read the review or lackthereof.. Also,both usb connectors have to be plugged in if your using usb 2.0. If your using a usb 3.0 slot,the usb connector with the pic of the keyboard on it gets plugged in. Sounds like the kid got it for an xmas present,didn't work right out of the gate,got irritated and jumped on here to complain and not actually get on the Corsair forums and ask for help. Great job!

By Lardash
If you are reading the reviews, chances are you are looking at buying this piece of technology.
I personally like logitech, but have always been slightly hesitant on their keyboards. There is nothing wrong with them, competitors just have so much to offer it seems. Then this bad boy came into the market and changed keyboards everywhere. I am typing right now, watching my fingers fly all over these keys, with their rainbow wave. It's awesome.

Pro's: Mechanical (With a great sound)
Colorful (think of a color, and this keyboard can do it)
Comfortable (The palmrest is perfect)
Gaming advantage (The Switches and the Design. The keys are designed to not allow your fingers to go flying onto unwanted keys, while the unique switches spring them back up)
Easy Interface for customizing

Bottom Line: Single Most greatest gaming investment I've made since ascending to the Master Race. #PCMR

All the praise for this keyboard just makes me laugh. This keyboard was rushed and has barely anything going for it. The keys are terrible. You can't control the lighting brightness on the keyboard or if at all. It feels cheap like a tonka toy. Razer Chroma / Corsair K70 are so much better ,its not even close. There is no open SDK for the logitech either. Also,you want to see the colors under the keys so you can see all the lighting from every angle. The 910 is a terrible keyboard!

5 out of 5Another great Keyboard from Logitech
By Wristan
So i picked up this keyboard after having to return the Razor Blackwidow Ultimate. This keyboard does a great job retiring my Logitech G15 i have had for 7 years, but still works. So this keyboard does not have any double tapping problem that the Blackwidow from Razor was giving me. My right shift key works(Blackwidow broken out of box new) and no random capping letters while using the left shift key. So Logitech QC staff seems to be paying attention to detail unlike Razor.
I wish i had done a little more looking up to notice that a lot of people had problems and the best buy staff i talk to today(01/11/2015) had said, "We have been getting a lot of Razor Blackwidow's returned". The light on the G910 is so much brighter then the G15 even when it was new. I really didn't like the wheel for the volume, but it could been worst. I don't really miss the digital display that the G15 had since i never really used it. The keys don't make loud clicks while typing, unlike the Blackwidow which was a bit trying at times. Having fewer macro key's then the G15 which had 18 doesn't bother me, though the G6-G9 seem a little out of the way to use.
I really didn't know what the ARX Dock was at first, but see it's used to hold a tablet (not sure if it's just limited to Ipads or can be used for any tablet) so that was neat.
Overall i want my product to work right out of the box new and Razor failed to deliver that. I pay a little more for the G910, but got a far better keyboard in the end. I've used Logitech products since i was 10 years old and i will continue to them for as long as possible. Keep up the good work Logitech, you deserve it.

Sound more like Razer hate than a real review. The G910 is the absolute worst keyboard out of the Razer Chroma,Corsair RGB and G910. You can do basically nothing with the G910 light wise. The keys are terrible. I had the Corsair K65 RGB. It was good,didn't care for the red switches tho. Now that the Razer Chroma has an open SDK much better than corsairs now since 1-5-15. I took back the K65 and got the Razer Chroma. I love the keys being they are more like Cherry blues. The software makes it very easy to create your own effects and you can download them from other people also. The G910 you can't do any of that,nor can you change the brightness levels. The G910 also feels like cheap plastic. Its obvious that Logitech rushed this board out to counter Razer and Corsair. I'm absolutely stunned how anyone could like the Logitech G910.. But to each their own..

5 out of 5More Logitech Excellence
By Noirysp
I was torn between buying a Razer Chroma and this keyboard, and after a few weeks use, I'm beyond happy I stayed loyal to Logitech. The responsiveness of the keys, and the quietness of the keyboard (this is more akin to a Logitech G15 or other membrane keyboard, with a little tactile feedback). The lighting is excellent, with phenomenal effects and solid customization. A lot of people fanboy/girl over Razer's products, but they used Kalih switches in their most recent products, and the quality is extremely subpar, regardless of how gorgeous they try to make their products. Stick with Logitech, they know what they're doing.

How exactly are the Kaihl keys sub par? Do you have any proof of this? Sounds like a logitech fanboy calling out razer fanboy's to me. The keys on the G910 are the worst! You can't adjust the lighting. The keyboard feels cheap. Apps for Arx are non existent. The G910 also has no open SDK to manipulate the lighting like the Razer Chroma and Corsair keyboards. If this Keyboard was $100 I still wouldn't look at it. It was rushed out and it shows. I'm glad your happy with it,but unless you actually tried the razer chroma or Corsair K65 RGB,you don't know what your talking about. I've had the K65 RGB and Razer Chroma,both great keyboards. The G910 is inferior by far and I just can't understand how people don't see this. Go on youtube and watch some reviews of this keyboard. After you do and realize all the problems,you will probably end up with the Razer chroma and eat your hat!
