I've just ordered a K800 and I've read a few people on here who seem to be content with it, but I have been struck with a bit of buyer's remorse after reading about some key ghosting issues and coming (belatedly) across some reviews that talk about the design/build not being suited to gaming.

I wouldn't consider myself a turbo-serious gamer, but I have recently been bitten by the Overwatch bug, so I'm playing that a fair amount. I'd say I was a casual gamer, but just because I don't play a huge amount doesn't mean I'd be happy with a poor peripheral for the times I do spend online.

Now clearly something like a Logitech G610 Orion would be a more dedicated gaming option, but I like the idea of wireless as it's less mess and faff.

The reason I'm sticking with Logitech is due to a good deal on currently, I needed a new mouse and I decided to get a new keyboard at the same time to take advantage of the offer.

Thoughts? Is the K800 perfectly good enough for gaming? Or will I find myself getting frustrated in online play?

Got the K800 myself and I've had no issues when gaming, both FPS like tf2 and BF1 as well as RTS. Seems responsive enough and it's much quieter than mechanical keyboards.

No key ghosting (like combination of keys, and some keys don't registered as pressed). Usually it's a combination of space bar, Ctrl, and some other.

If not, then about time Logitech fixed it.
 
I'm looking at getting one of these too (along with an MX Master, probably), let me know what you think if you go for it.
