Logitech is known for manufacturing high-quality keyboards, with the G Pro X TKL (short for “tenkeyless,” indicating the absence of a Numpad) ranking among the top gaming keyboards. This model features vibrant RGB LED backlit keys and offers a choice of clicky, tactile, or linear switches. It utilizes Logitech’s Lightspeed wireless adapter, providing response times suitable for competitive gaming. Additionally, the adapter allows the pairing of multiple devices with a single, low-profile USB dongle, conserving USB ports for other accessories.
The keyboard boasts a sleek and stylish build with a minimalistic design that saves desk space. A subtle metallic rim around the edge adds a touch of elegance that sets it apart from more basic keyboards. The volume wheel located in the upper right is smooth and easily accessible. Along the top, there are media controls for convenient management of music and other media, ideal for uninterrupted gaming sessions after extended wait times. The Black Clicky switches are noted for delivering a satisfying tactile feedback, likened to sending tiny thunderbolts with each keypress. For those who prefer quieter keys, alternative switch types are available. However, one drawback mentioned is the absence of a Numpad, which some users may find disadvantageous.
As an alternative, the Logitech Pro X 60, available for $180, provides nearly all the benefits of the Pro X TKL in a more compact form. Scoring 8 out of 10 in a WIRED review, this model integrates the volume wheel, Game mode switch, and Bluetooth/Lightspeed buttons into the edges of the keyboard, streamlining the design to a 60 percent layout.
