“This keyboard is the culmination of years of ongoing development by our
engineering team, incorporating feedback from gamers and eSports
athletes to develop a next-generation mechanical key,” said Vincent
Tucker, director of Logitech gaming. “Our team was charged with
developing a keyboard that truly improves the gaming experience, and
Orion Spark delivers.”
Orion Spark combines lightning speed responsiveness, improved accuracy
with superior RGB illumination in a performance-driven design.
“My players love the new switches,” said Andy Dinh, owner of Team
Solomid. “They are so excited about them, that the whole team is using
them in the League of Legends World Championship.”
Fast, Responsive, Durable: Romer-G Mechanical Switches
Orion Spark features exclusive new Romer-G mechanical switches, which
can’t be found on any other keyboard. With an actuation point of 1.5 mm,
Romer-G switches register your key presses up to 25 percent faster than
competing mechanical switches. Improved durability at 70 million
keystrokes, up to 40 percent longer than others on the market, also
allows this keyboard to weather the wear and tear of intense gaming.
Intelligent RGB Illumination
The lighting in every key of Orion Spark can be individually customized
from a palette of 16.8 million colors. You can mark keys by color to
keep track of spells and other commands, change colors to match your
setup, or set lighting by game. The lighting is centrally located within
each switch and is directed by precision optics, to ensure that the
lettering on each key is evenly illuminated.
Arx Control Integration
Arx Control is a new app from Logitech G that works with LGS to enable
delivery of a wide range of information on your mobile device including
anything from in-game intelligence, to vital system performance stats,
to media controls. Using our Arx Control SDK
game developers can even create customized applets to deliver content
unique to their game. Major developers like Valve have been given early
copies and are exploring possible integrations for Steam and for their
popular games. Orion Spark features a pullout tray that supports most
iOS® and Android™ devices, providing easy access to Arx Control data.
Nine Programmable Buttons
You can also customize your favorite game by assigning game controls and
macros to the nine individually programmable G-keys, for quick and easy
access to complex commands. Orion Spark supports up to 27 commands
across three profiles for maximum convenience, and setup is easy using
Logitech Gaming Software.
Pricing and Availability
Orion Spark is expected to be available in the U.S., Europe and select
countries in AP beginning in November 2014, for a suggested retail price
of $179.99. For more information please visit gaming.logitech.com
