Once known for its traditional keyboard and mouse products, Logitech has rebranded itself in recent years to become a leading player in the gaming and Esports market. The company’s Logitech G sub-brand has released a new gaming keyboard, the Logitech PRO X 60 LIGHTSPEED, which boasts professional-grade performance and full programmability for elite gamers. The compact 60% layout of the keyboard is designed to offer maximum functionality without compromising on performance or customization options.
The KEYCONTROL tool, accessible through Logitech’s GHUB software, enhances the functionality of the PRO X 60 keyboard by allowing users to assign up to 15 functions to each key. This level of customization goes beyond what is typically available on a standard full-sized keyboard, giving gamers the ability to tailor the keyboard to suit their specific gaming needs. Logitech opted for the compact design based on research showing that professional Esports players are seeking streamlined peripherals with minimalist designs for optimal gaming setups.
The PRO X 60 LIGHTSPEED keyboard features Logitech G’s LIGHTSPEED wireless technology, offering speed and response time without the clutter of wires. With options for Bluetooth and USB-C wired connectivity, users can choose their preferred method of connection. The keyboard’s battery life can last up to 65 hours on a single charge, depending on the intensity of the backlight brightness. Additional physical features, such as a thumbwheel for volume control and a full set of function keys and media controls, enhance the overall gaming experience.
The keyboard utilizes GX Optical switches, which offer faster actuation than standard mechanical switches and eliminate the debounce required by mechanical switches. This precision and speed could be crucial in competitive gaming scenarios where split-second decisions can make all the difference. The PRO X 60 also includes customizable backlighting, key remapping, and multiple layers for assigning up to 15 functions to each key, providing gamers with unparalleled customization options.
Overall, the Logitech PRO X 60 LIGHTSPEED keyboard offers exceptional performance and customization options for professional gamers and Esports enthusiasts. With a suggested retail price of $179, the keyboard is available in Black, White, and Pink/Magenta color options on LogitechG.com and in select markets worldwide. Windows 10 or later and a USB 2.0 port are required for connectivity, while internet access is necessary for accessing Logitech’s G HUB Software 2. The Pro-inspired 60% design, LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting, and detachable 6 ft charging and data cable make the PRO X 60 a standout option in the gaming keyboard market.
