Logitech announced the Pro X 60 Lightspeed, the corporate’s first wireless gaming keyboard offered in a 60% compact form factor. The keyboard, available through Logitech’s gaming-focused sub-brand G, is available now for $179 in one in all two GX optical switch types (touch or linear) and three colours (black, white or pink).
Positioned as a compact sequel to Logitech’s G Pro X TKL Lightspeed, the Pro X 60 includes lots of the same features. Users have three connectivity options: wired via the included two-meter USB-C to USB-C charging cable, or wireless via Bluetooth or Logitch’s Lightspeed dongle, the latter of which offers a 1,000Hz polling rate.
One key difference is that unlike the Pro X TKL, the Pro X 60 is not a mechanical keyboard – it’s an optical keyboard, so the experience is different. No keyboard offers hot-swappable switches. Both the GX optical linear and tactile switches for the Pro X 60 have an actuation point of 1.8 mm and a travel distance of 4 mm, with an actuation force of fifty g and 60 g, respectively.
Additional customizations akin to assigning macro shortcuts, lighting and sound effects might be achieved using the new Keycontrol tool in Logitech’s G Hub software, with the flexibility to remap keys so each key can have as much as 15 different functions. It also supports Logitech Lightsync RGB lighting, which is pre-programmed to a static blue color to cut back distractions, but might be customized in order that a choice of colours and lighting sequences stand out on the Pro X 60’s dual PBT keys. Battery life with Lightspeed wireless with lights on is roughly 65 hours after fully charged.
The Logitech G Pro attention while playing, and a case for carrying the keyboard while traveling. The predominant advantage is that each one these features and customizations can be found in such a transportable form factor – when you enjoy competitive gaming and travel incessantly, it should be much easier to slot in your bag than a full layout keyboard.
