Logitech G, the gaming division of Swiss peripherals giant Logitech, has unveiled its latest flagship product for professional gamers – the Pro X 60 Lightspeed mechanical gaming keyboard. Designed in collaboration with top esports athletes, this compact 60% tenkeyless keyboard packs a punch with its array of high-end features and customization options.
Custom Key Mapping and Programmable RGB Backlighting
One of the standout features of the Pro X 60 Lightspeed is its innovative Key Control technology. This allows gamers to assign up to 15 different functions per key, enabling unprecedented levels of customization to suit their unique gaming styles. The keyboard also boasts Logitech’s Light sync RGB technology with 16.8 million programmable colors, letting gamers personalize the look to match their setup or mood.
GX Optical Switches and Dual-Mode Connectivity
Under the keycaps, the Pro X 60 utilizes Logitech’s proprietary GX Optical switches available in both tactile and linear variants. These optical switches actuate via light for instantaneous command execution, eliminating the need for traditional debouncing. The keyboard offers dual-mode connectivity with both Lightspeed wireless technology for lag-free performance and Bluetooth/USB wired modes for flexibility.
Compact Design with Gaming-Focused Features
As a 60% tenkey less form factor, the Pro X 60 Lightspeed provides ample mouse movement space while maintaining a portable size ideal for tournaments and LAN parties. It still packs useful gaming features like a game mode switch, volume roller, and media controls. The keyboard even comes with a semi-hard carrying case for easy transport.
