I've been a die-hard fan of Logitech products for a long time, not only because their quality control is pretty good, but also their excellent customer service as well.
I owned a Logitech G9X before, and it went well until it has some problems with double click but only as fast tapping, which is not really comfortable for me since I play games a lot. That's why I file a warranty claim and surprisingly, Logitech sent me a G500s and did not even ask me to send the mouse back. However, the G500s is a tad heavier and the grip style doesn't fit mine, so I have to look for something new again.
My opportunity came when this mouse was on sale at $55 at Bestbuy, and I bought it without hesitating. At first I still doubted in my mind about how my product will go. But after using for couple weeks, I can safely say that this is one of the best gaming mouse I've ever had.
- Sensor: Optical, definitely top tier at the present, if not the best. Very precise, without acceleration. Although I must admit that some times the mouse I'm using does have some weird movements. I believe my mouse is defective in some way, and will get the replacement later on.
- Switch: feels okay, but I often right click easily. I guess it's due to the design. The hyperscroll wheel is always a pleasure to use.
- Build: Feels very sturdy and "mechanical". When it first came out, I thought this one is like a combination between Logitech and Mad Catz. The LED so far doesn't die yet.
- Design: basically for Claw grip or Finger tip, and a little bit small to some people.
- Feet: they looks kinda week and will get worn out in a while. When that time comes, you can go to ebay and search for G502 Teflon feet to fix your girl at a really cheap price.
- Software: still one of the strong points from Logitech, the software lets you set up dpi, polling rate, and macro keys. I myself really like the fact that now I can control the volume of the computers via my mouse or even open some tasks.
- Warranty: 3 years, which are great comparing to their competitors. Also, the Customer Service representatives are very active, and the process will not be a hassle at all.

Overall, a great product. Definitely recommend.
FYI, I owned Logitech MX518, Microsoft IE 3.0, Razer DeathAdder, Logitech G9X, Steelseries Sensei Raw, Logitech G500s, Logitech G602, Steelseries Rival. Was that enough credibility for this review? :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Enhance your gaming experience with this Thermaltake Poseidon Z gaming keyboard, which features blue mechanical switches that deliver enhanced elasticity and long-lasting performance. The blue LED backlight with 4 levels of brightness offers a fun look.

I've owned quite a lot mechanical keyboards and it's safe to say that this board definitely will give you more pleasure than the normal membrane keyboard to type or play games on.
Now let's go deeper for more details:
- Switches: they are made from Kailh switches (same goes with Razer BlackWidow 2014), which are also called Cherry MX clone Chinese switches. Obviously, they are inferior compared to the Cherry MX switches. The quality control is quite bad that the board I got, not every keys feel the same. Sometimes, while playing games, I got a little difficult with double tapping because the keys did not go smoothly as they are supposed to.
- Build: quite sturdy, but definitely not on par with higher end keyboards brands like Filco, Ducky, etc.
- Noise: this comes down to preference. The switches are clicky, so you might wanna be aware. I personally don't have any problem with it since I'm living alone.
- LED backlit: during the period of time I was using it, no LED was dead. Keep in mind that eventually the LED would die, no matter what board you have.
- Price: since it's Chinese OEM, the price is cheaper than the competitors so I guess it's a bit of advantage.

Overall, it's not a bad keyboard, and will be the great entry for people that are new to mechanical keyboards. Also, it's affordable (I bought with $65 BNIB), but if your budget is around $80, then you might wanna consider to look for Cooler Master's boards or even Ducky low-tier ones.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
