Logitech G Launches the PRO X 60 Wireless Gaming Keyboard
Logitech is continuing its push to attract pro-gamers and serious hobbyists with the announcement of its latest gaming peripheral, the Logitech G Pro X 60 LIGHTSPEED, a compact but capable and highly customizable wireless esports keyboard. Owing to both to its build and its many features, Logitech is touting its latest device as being "professional-grade", with both the refined hardware and the specially developed supporting software adding credence to this.
The Pro X 60 is Logitech's first 60% keyboard, though where it lacks in size it makes up in functionality. Helping to overcome its fewer buttons is KEYCONTROL, a newly developed tool added to its G HUB software that will allow users to assign up to 15 functions per key. While it's clear that Logitech is focused on offering more control and customization, the brand claims it "isn't merely about reducing size, but ensuring users don't compromise on performance or customisation options by choosing a smaller form factor.” Amongst KEYCONTROL's features is the ability to remap the entire keyboard to suit your style or an individual game's requirements, assigning macros (key combinations), creating shortcuts, as well as adjusting audio and the keyboard's on-board RGB lighting.
In terms of connectivity options, users can choose between connecting wirelessly using the included 2.4GHz dongle that utilizes Logitech's proprietary LIGHTSPEED technology (offering effectively no lag), or via Bluetooth. The Pro X 60 uses dual-shot PBT keycaps that add to the premium build feel of the keyboard, each of which allows the RGB lights beneath it to shine through to thanks to translucent keycap text. The keyboard is rechargeable via USB-C and the battery lasts up to 65 hours, though this can change based on how much or how little you use the RGB lights. Also included in the box is a hardcase for carrying the keyboard from A-to-B, a small detail, but one to note as carrying cases aren't included with most of this keyboard's competitors, instead purchasable separately.
The Logitech G Pro X 60 LIGHTSPEED comes in three colors with 'White', 'Black' and 'Pink' options, and is available to order now priced at £189 GBP / $179 USD / €229 EUR. Units start shipping tomorrow April 16.
