The G512 X is Logitech 's first gaming keyboard with dual swap tech that allows owners to use either mechanical or analog switches based on their preferences.
Thanks to the adoption of features like rapid triggers, analog switches and TMR sensors, the tech in fancyhas changed surprisingly quickly in the past few years. So to keep up with the pace of development, Logitech is putting a bunch of advanced components in its latest flagship offering — the G512 X — to create what may be its most configurable keyboard to date.
Available in both 75 and 98 percent layouts, the G512 X is based on a novel design that supports both mechanical and analog switches. Out of the box, every key features PBT keycaps and uses one of Logitech's MX mechanical switches.
However, for important buttons like WASD, users can swap in up to nine bundled Gateron KS-20 magnetic analog switches. This means that when combined with the keyboard's 39 switch beds, users can enable support for customizable rapid triggers and multipoint actuation, complete with five bundled second actuation pressure point rings in case you need even more control over every keystroke.
The one potential downside is that Logitech only added TMR switch beds to the left side of the keyboard, so if you prefer more unusual keybinds, you won't have quite as many configuration options. Meanwhile, to meet the demands of competitive gamers who need lightning-fast response times, Logitech added an 8K polling rate. This includes both 8K reporting and processing to deliver input times of just 0.125 milliseconds.
Elsewhere, the G512 X comes with dual dials, a large RGB lightbar and game mode presets — all of which can be tweaked in Logitech's G Hub app. However, the coolest thing about the G512 X might be all the handy little details scattered across the keyboard.
For example, its adjustable feet serve double duty as keycap and switch pullers, so when you want to adjust your layout, you won't need to go searching elsewhere for the right tool. On top of that, there is built-in storage for the nine included magnetic analog switches and five SAPP rings, so you'll always have them on hand if you want to make changes.
Finally, while it is an optional accessory, Logitech created a transparent palm rest with a laser-etched surface that will enhance the G512 X's onboard RGB lighting. Logitech's optional palm rest really boosts the output of the Logitech G512 X's front-mounted RGB lightbar. Unfortunately, at $180 for the 75 percent layout or $200 for the 98 percent model, the G512 X is a bit pricey. And unlike some other members of Logitech's G5 family, there's no option for a wireless variant.
But if you want a keyboard with practically all the latest tech and a ton of customizability , the G512 X is a very intriguing option for demanding gamers. If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission.
