Peter Donnell / 8 months ago
Logitech G, the more extreme gaming-focused brand of Logitech, has just revealed their latest gaming keyboard, and it’s packing some pretty cool features! The Logitech G PRO X 60 LIGHTSPEED Gaming Keyboard features a very compact design, making it ideal for gamers who want to save a bit of desktop space for their mouse, but also keeps it very portable, increasing its appeal to eSports gamers who travel with their hardware.
For eSports pros and at-home competitive gamers, it’s certainly got some appeal, and with the compact 60 percent design it really is very small, but it’s not lacking in features. It has dual-shot PBT caps, feature-rich RGB lighting, gaming modes, media controls, Bluetooth, and even comes with its own carry case.
Small though it may be, with the KEYCONTROL dial you can access multiple layers of features on this keyboard, with the unique dial allowing you to access up to 15 layers of functions per keys, allowing you to program layers upon layers to unlock all the keys you’re missing, and a hell of a lot more.
Additional features
- Dual-shot PBT keycaps
- LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting
- Game mode switch
- Volume roller and media controls
- Bluetooth
- 2:1 LIGHTSPEED Adapter
- Semi-hard carrying case
“The PRO X 60 is the perfect fit for players who need a keyboard that can adapt to any setup and condition. It’s also super easy to carry around when traveling. I love it.” said Michaela ‘mimi’ Lintrup, G2 Esports, Valorant.
“We have years of experience designing and building keyboards and switches for and with pro gamers,’ stated Brent Barry, Head of Esports and PRO Series at Logitech G. “Through our unique collaboration with players, we gathered important insights that played a key role in our design of the PRO X 60 and highlighted the need for KEYCONTROL. This new capability has everything a Pro player could want: a compact, portable form factor, combined with advanced new technologies all designed to give them the equipment and performance they need to win.”
About KEYCONTROL
KEYCONTROL was developed to broaden the keyboard’s capabilities beyond that of a standard full-sized keyboard. A user-friendly tool enabled in GHUB, KEYCONTROL grants players significantly more customization options by allowing them to assign up to 15 functions per key and tailor their keyboard to their unique style. When combined with G-SHIFT, an advanced feature that players can assign to almost any button (like a mouse side button to an action), players can activate the new layer of keys and get quick access to any key or command directly under their left hand and WASD keys, or any other programmable key on the keyboard. This means the missing critical keys are right where you need them, ensuring lightning-fast access to essential commands and propelling gamers to victory.
“I love the original PRO keyboard, but now that my game has evolved, I wanted something smaller to allow for more space on my desktop for my mouse without losing all the key functions,” said Emma “Emy” Choe, FlyQuest RED, CounterStrike 2, “Now that I have the PRO X 60 with KEYCONTROL, I have more room for flick shots, all while being able to tailor my layout so I don’t miss any keys. I can’t wait to use this in competition.”
“It’s super important to have a reliable and fast connection when you’re competing because you want to have the least amount of input lag possible when you’re in a competitive scenario. Having a really fast wireless connection can be the difference between winning and losing at the highest level,” said Evan “Verhulst” Verhulst, TSM, Apex Legends.
GX Optical Switches
The PRO X 60 is available with GX Optical switches in both tactile and linear configurations, offering faster actuation than standard mechanical switches for faster gameplay. Unlike mechanical switches, GX Optical actuates through the power of light, instantly sending your command, eliminating the debounce required by mechanical switches. With precision and speed, the signal is unleashed the moment you engage. The switches are also factory-lubricated and designed to provide a satisfying gaming and typing experience.

Available in Black, White, and Pink, the PRO X 60 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Keyboard is available for pre-order now at LogitechG.com for $179 US and €229. It will be available from major participating retailers in late April. For more information, please visit LogitechG.com.
