A quote from the article:
Early this year Logitech introduced the first models in its new line-up of mechanical keyboards, the G410 and the G910. In the meantime they've added the G610 and G810, which are positioned in between the G410 and G910. It's remarkable that Logitech has opted for Cherry MX switches again for the G610 instead of their own Romer-G switches. We took an extensive look at the keyboards.

Before we start with this review, we have to talk about how Logitech positions its products. The G910 Orion Spark, the flagship models as it were, has been on the market for a while now and has seen a large decrease in terms of pricing. This brings us to the somewhat weird situation with the G810, which should be just as expensive as the G910 according to the MSRP. In our price comparison tool we see that it is 20 pounds more expensive however. We expect this to correct itself in the next few weeks, as the choice for the G910 is a bit too obvious right now.

The G810 features the Romer-G switches produced by Omron, which we've seen before with the G910 and G410. The G610 features Cherry MX Red or Brown switches. Whether Omron wasn't able to produce enough switches, customers weren't happy with Romer-G switches or if there was another reason, it's all guesswork. It's a fact though that gamers have plenty of choice again if they choose for Logitech.
