logitech g710If you’ve never used a mechanical keyboard, you might not understand the fervor surrounding what may look like something from 1989 and sound like a typewriter. But the responsiveness in mechanical keys is praised by gamers and frequent typists alike.

If you want to see what your gaming buddies have been raving about but don’t want to wake the whole house when you’re using one, you can get the Logitech G710+ for $90 today, which is a pretty good deal and matches the lowest price ever for this keyboard.

The G710+ has Cherry MX Brown switches, but the keys are cushioned by O-rings to keep the noise down. You also get a full number pad, media keys and six programmable keys. Everything is backlit, with four brightness levels and a special backlight just for WASD and arrow keys for superior gaming functionality.

Pair it with a tunable gaming mouse and you’ll have a decent gaming setup for your rig, or just get the keyboard and experience typing on something better than your laptop keyboard.
