Is the keyboard mechanical or membrane?

Membrane, also I'd recommend getting the warranty on it. The keys occasionally stick and the keyboard can break easily. The power cord for my keyboard was stretched, making the wire very temperamental, the keyboard randomly loses power because of this. Otherwise I have not had any problems and keyboard/mouse are great for the price..

The base of the keyboard is made of real aluminum. It is not just aluminum finish.

Yes. The keyboard is a magnant. However I don't know if it's damaging or not.

It consists of both. The keyboard is held inside by magnets so it can be removed. The keyboard works great and my Dell Venue 8 Pro is mostly protected. Unfortunately my tablet sticks out slightly from one end of the cover. Despite that I have no regrets about my purchase.

It is a wired board with a raised off center area under the keys. I think this design was to help with wrist problems but it caused mine to start hurting after typing on it for a few hours. I have small hands so that might have added to the problem.

If by mechanical, you mean do they move? Yes. If you expect them to be pleasant to use, however, find another keyboard. The keys feel cheap, and they provide almost no response or other tactile feel. They are also cramped together. Worse than any real keyboard you've ever used, I'd imagine. WAY WAY worse than the Type keyboard that is made for the MS Surface. No comparison.

It's plastic. I'm sure it's breakable but it seems more for wear and scratches. The keyboard is rubbery and fits perfect. My wife lives hers.

The keyboard is hard plastic. The keys stand out under your fingers just like a laptop keyboard.

They are not mechanical, none of the buttons are. The directional keys and WASD keys just have grip on them.

It's plastic. The outside is super durable aluminum and the inside is just the keyboard and the stand. No cloth on it. And it locks in when you are done via these rubber bumper things. It is 100% worth the buy. If you want a really good keyboard without a super tiny shift key like 99% of the other ones (soooo annoying) get this.

It is like a laptop keyboard. It is solid plastic, very light, the key is a responsive, and the keyboard works well. The nice thing is that it's attached by 4 pieces of Velcro and can be easily released to place it in a different position. I hope this helps.

100% membrane. I just took mine apart to see because I was seeing the + heads under the keys and got super excited! Can't say I am disappointed though, still love it.

It is a mechanical keyboard. The keys have a good feel, though I ended up putting a dot of epoxy on the F & J home keys to be able to find them by touch, as I couldn't feel the etched dots that were there.

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.

No, old school keyboard and finger pad. I have to say and I don't know if others have had the same problem. But the laptop had to be sent back for a rebuild after just a month of use. Just a heads up.

They feel like regular keyboard keys. They are just situated differently. Hope this helps.

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 :)
