The Logitech G Pro X 60 Wants to be Your New Desk Buddy
Logitech has been honing down what gamers want out of a gaming keyboard. Last time we got our hands on a G Pro X keyboard it was the beautiful tenkeyless mechanical Pro X TKL, which is still a big recommendation if you need your arrow keys. It’s a common peripheral at the LANs I host occasionally (yeah I still host LANs, what are you gonna do?). Logitech has now whittled their gaming keyboards down to just the essentials with the G Pro X 60, a 60% keyboard that gives maximum realestate to the mouse while maintaining a form-factor that’s easily set to any position that makes slamming WASD all day a comfortable experience.
In the box you get a semi-hardcase similar to the Pro X TKL, which I adore. Inside is a spare Esc key if you aren’t a fan of the accented key that’s been pre-installed. Alongside that you get the LIGHTSPEED adapter dongle for a super fast, zero lag connection. That’s followed by a decently long USB-C cable and a USB-A to C adapter, so you can hang the dongle out the front of your PC if you don’t want any interference. If you aren’t interested in using LIGHTSPEED there’s also a button to switch over to standard Bluetooth pairing, handy for if you’re connecting to something that doesn’t have USB.
While the function key bar has been stripped out, the board has no lack of shortcut keys via a function button. The key presses feel good and tactile, without the massive clatter of a mechanical switch, this is due to it using GX Optical switches, which uses light to actuate your press instantly.
If you’re prone to accidentally hitting the windows key midfight, screwing up your fight in Elden Ring then there’s a subtle gaming switch on the side which disables it. It’s also found room to squeeze in a volume wheel and media controls.
If you’re a writer Logitech has plenty of other keyboards more suited to your needs, but if you’re a gamer looking to maximise your game then the totable G Pro X 60 LIGHTSPEED is a goer.
Available in Black, White, and Pink, the PRO X 60 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Keyboard is available now for RRP $429.95 NZD from Logitech G and will be available from major participating retailers.
