Logitech G PRO X TKL LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Keyboard, Ultra Portable Tenkeyless Design, LIGHTSYNC RGB, PBT Keys, Linear Switches (GX Red) - Black

ive been searching for a decent TKL with linear keys for a while. about a year and a half ago - i purchased a bunch popular keyboards with the goal to find the one. corsair k70, steelseries apex pro tkl, logitech g915, razer deathstalker v2 pro tkl, and i think some more but dont recall the names - smething from nuphy and keychron i think. upon trying them out my conclusions were quick and mostly negative. corsair was just cheap and overall felt extremely bad, steelseries seemed to activate from the slightest breeze, the keys were super tiny and the screen gimmick was as useful as a heater in toronto summer. the g915 felt like absolute trash as well - thought the body was metal and nicely finished, the keys were very rattly and not satisfying at all to type on. nuphy had a non-transparent set of keys yet the backlight option - so kind of pointless at all and their customer support was not giving me a lot of confidence. and keychron felt more like a 20$ keyboard. eventually i returned them all and stayed with the deathstalker v2 pro tkl. it was a nice combination of mechanical feel, sound, functionality, and low profile meant no need for wrist rest. however recently the keyboard developed some issues - namely rogue presses - though it was never subjected to any physical abuse or mistreatment (read gamer rage). after a couple of weeks back and forth with razer it was clear they were not going to help me out on this and claimed i damaged it and would need to send it back for them to evaluate and maybe fix or replace or return it back as is. none of the options were to my liking. since ive been using logitech products for many years now - i hardly ever had any issues with anything made by this brend, but when i did - i think every single time a replacement or equivalent product was sent to me at no cost and i was allowed to get rid fo the faulty one via recycling program or similar. this experience gave me confidence in trying out this rather expensive keyboard from logitech and after just about half a day - i am absolutely loving it. it is super well built, with a beautiful shiny chrome trim while all black. the keys have very nice pbt fininsh and are shine through so the backlight makes actual sense. the linear switches are super smooth and joy to type on. i will definitely be getting a wrist rest but outside of that - i think its a great piece of kit and will certainly be on my recommended list. cheers.

So far, I'm really happy with this KB. Perfect size layout, and a mostly easy to use software. I do think they've dropped the ball in how they've implemented the game mode and the customization of key assignments. I want the KB to default to Game mode, but cannot set it to do so. And I cannot get the non-game mode to allow me to disable the CAPSLOCK key... which is my pref! WHO NEEDS A CAPSLOCK?? Using capslock is rude, it's shouting and it's an eyesore. There's really no need for it to even be there. But this is nitpicking, because every other aspect is very good. I've not used the wireless capability yet, and I don't thing they need to include such an overly nice carrying case... who does lan parties anymore? Not enough peeps to need this case as anything but an addon purchase. They could drop the price of the keyboard, by making he case an optional purchase, for those who need it. For me, the case is just one more extra thing to have to find space to store. NOTE: The red switches are definitely clacky/noisy. Those saying they're quiet are false, or have hearing loss... I can say this because I'm totally deaf in one ear, and this thing is still noisy. But the response of the keys is very fast. For a frequent typer, I wouldnt' recommend this KB, but for a gamer who's using it mostly for gaming, it's a really nice unit. The volume adjuster is my fave so far, and I've owned a lot of brands/models of gaming kbs. Good for gamers who want it's small footprint on their desk, no so great for folks who do a lot of typing, unless you like a lot of clacky-clack. Being able to go from wired to wireless is a really noice feature. Cant' remark on battery life because I only use it with the cable. Game mode is perfect for gaming, but I wish it was the default mode, because I bought a gaming KB for gaming, and having to enable game mode to be able to disable capslock is annoying. This unit seems very solidly made. It's not cheap feelign at all.

Awesome keyboard, pairs well with my superlight 2 compact.

Two days in, essentially, and I am loving the feel / performance of the keyboard right out of the box. The lightspeed connectivity, from my subjective experience, feels like there is no delay in my inputs, so there’s that! It’s my first time using a wireless keyboard and I’m impressed to say the least; battery life with the static light setting is 50+ hours which is fine by me. What I’m enjoying most is just the feel of the linear red switches Logitech uses on this board; highly recommend these over using clicks or tactile; not sure what the actuation pressure is but it’s not so light that it feels too quick and there is a nice little, even tiny, bit of force needed to press down on the switch. My only major drawback so far is that it’s not a hot swappable board; this makes me nervous for a couple reasons: one, the cost of the keeb being what it is means if a switch goes bad you’re kind of up a creek. I’m playing the dice, so to speak, with this keyboard and hope it continues to perform well while I wait on the Wooting 80HE to arrive this summer. I’m a recent convert to being a fan of the 75 to 85% size of keyboards and don’t see myself going back to 65 or lower; having the dedicated media keys, F-Row, and the other extraneous keys above your dedicated arrows just feels nice “in case” you ever need them for something. All in all, Logitech has a new fan with me and as long as they can iterate upon this Pro X TKL board with features that folks are yesrning for / expecting such as: hot swappable keys, sound dampening tape jobs, Hall effect switches (not required but as an option would be nice), etc, then I can see this line of their keyboards continuing to soar. I’ll revisit this review down the line.

This keyboard is amazing! The only problem I have with it is resting my fingers on it can activate a key on accident because of how sensitive it is, but you start to get used to it and I barely have any accidental key presses on it. It's decently heavy; this keyboard won't be sliding anywhere. The battery life can last me almost a week, and it appears to have an auto-sleep feature. It's very high quality, and you can hear it in the clicks and taps on the keyboard. I love that it's portable with a 2.4g dongle or Bluetooth, so it's not restricted to just living on my desk; it even comes in a case to carry the keyboard.
