Is this keyboard Mechanical?

Yes, the keys are mechanical. Specifically, they are Cherry MX Brown keys with O-rings under each keycap. The great thing about the G710 keys vs. those used in something like the Razer Blackwidow is that Logitech incorporated what they call "whisper-quiet" keys in the design of this board making it MUCH more quiet than keyboards such as the Blackwidow. Having owned the Blackwidow, I can attest to the fact that those keys were annoyingly loud. I switched to the G710 and am extremely impressed with how much quieter the keys are as well as the quality of the board construction. I highly recommend the G710 over all other boards on the market at this time.

Yes. Most of Logitech's gaming keyboards use standard keys, but the G710 is definitely mechanical; it uses Cherry MX Brown mechanical switches. My advice is to always try peripherals in a shop before you buy. Mechanical switches have quite a different feel (and sound) to normal keyboards, and keyboard layout is another very personal issue.

Yes it is. Son claims the keyboard and his headset make his gaming experience worth the extra cost.

If you mean does it have mechanical mechanism keys, rather than 'Chiclet' keys? Yes, it has what many consider 'old school IBM keyboard style' keys. I believe they are called Cherry MX Brown switch keys, and are not as noisy as some of the old switch keys but they do still make a gentle click to confirm they've been pressed.

yes, unfortunately parts of it are. Aside from that from that fact, its otherwise a good product. For the price, I am still satisfied with it because it functions as intended. We got just so to be able to move the desktop around in the house. However, I don't think it would be very effective to work on. The keyboard slide is not the strongest. I will hold up as long as your not heavy handed. Best of luck to you.

Its actually quite for a gaming keyboard. Not completely silent but very much quieter than a mechanical keyboard.

It is not a mechanical keyboard. Just a regular standard keyboard with the Key WASD and the arrow keys are color redish orange.

Yes, but its no where near as loud as a mechanical keyboard. *MUCH*? not really, but it is louder.

Yes. It's ok for gaming, although the dense layout makes it easy to hit the wrong keys. I usually don't have much trouble though.

No it is terriblt. The placement if the keys are off to the left and is really awkward to type. I regret not returning it soon enough.

No, I guess they're not mechanical switch keys; Steelseries would specify that on their site for this keyboard if it were I'm pretty sure. The feel is very good, so some people think it is mechanical; I can't tell by using it. I recommend you find a Bestbuy that has one and check it out; you can probably even get them to hook it up to a pc so you can try it. Then thank them for their time and buy from Amazon for the better price :)

This is not a mechanical keyboard. The LED backlight is also not very bright. The brightest light on the keyboard is the Caps Lock, Scroll Lock and Num Lock indicator lights. The key backlighting is actually very dull, and in the dark, your display will likely wash out the light anyway rendering it essentially useless.

Yep, keyboard. This is a very heavy simulated wood desk. But I kinda like it. Enjoy

Yes it is. The keys are not smooth as the apple branded keyboard and it makes a little noise as well foe keystrokes

No. Keys are very sensitive to touch. I prefer a cherry-brown for my gaming.

It is (which I was not anticipating when I purchased it myself) but I will tell you that I LOVE this keyboard for sure. Hope that helps :)

Yes it is. I bought one to go with mine. Be aware that it is a small keyboard, it is difficult to type with two hands.

it's not sadly. but it is still a great keyboard rest assured. Mechanicals can get a bit complicated if something goes wrong with it

To answer your question, I have to ask a question of my own.By mechanical, I assume you mean that the keys move up and down rather than staying in one place, sort of the difference between a conventional keyboard and a touch screen?If so, it's still a conventional mechanical keyboard, and a pretty good one at that, as I bought this about two years ago, and I'm typing this response on it.Still works perfectly.

Yes it is.any type of Windows it is just a keyboard just for left handed people
