The Logitech G512 X is a keyboard that decides to do a lot. It’s a mechanical keyboard that includes swappable analog switches, the ability to customise those switches, with additional rings for a slight tactile feel and some twisty knobs for flavour.
Unfortunately, all of this comes at a premium at $350, while not being completely flawless.
The keyboard is plastic, which while not feeling cheap, is a bit of a kick in the teeth given how expensive the keyboard is. There are LEDs under every key, as well as a light bar along the front, all able to be remapped and customised using the Logitech G HUB software. The box also comes with a switch and key cap puller. The keyboard itself is wired only, despite the price tag.
