Don't buy the Logitech Pro X 60 keyboard.

Logitech just released the new Pro X 60 wireless gaming keyboard. With a lack of rapid trigger switches or any real features that makes this relevant in 2024, let's take a look at why you should absolutely avoid spending the $180 when there's numerous other better options on the market.

Logitech released this as if the HE keyboards didn't exist. They probably put more money into the office space products than the gaming since I see a ton of the office products ads lately.

[@gilmonreal7094]

This is the kind of honesty we need nowadays! nice comic inference with the Seinfeld bit awesome!

[@NoVoiOvi]

I bought one from a sale, it was 150e. I actually liked the keycaps, but the formfactor was the issue for me. With G515 keycaps were not to my liking but layout was perfect. I preordered Logitech Rapid, I think it will be perfect for my use...hopefully. I do not like clicky caps. Currently I own G910, and it has served me well :)

[@PWingert1966]

I bought a Logitech G512 SE many years ago. only to discover it required two USB connections! I would use it with my laptop so that was a no-go. I still have not found a machine to use it with that I can spare two USB ports. Apparently one is for data and the other is to power the lighting!

[@zahidshabir4038]

If you want to know why Logitech advertises "Key Control" as a feature I think it is because for years now they never had a keyboard that could be fully customisable with the macros and remapping on each key and only on their keyboards that contained macro keys on the side did they have this available as a feature and even then only those specific macro keys on the side were customisable and not the rest of the keys. As far I am aware Corsair was the first with this feature which they added to their very first K70 RGB which BTW was the very first RGB mechanical keyboard and it also had per key RGB lighting and was the first for that too because before that any keyboard that did have backlighting only had a single colour and when the keyboard did have a lighting effect it would just be some sort of flicker where all switches would change together in synchronization. Corsair working together with Cherry pioneered RGB mechanical switches that could be individually controlled back in 2014 and that was a WHOLE ASS DECADE AGO. Logitech took 10 years to do that When looking at this so called "Key Control" feature from the perspective I just talked about it is all the more shocking as to why it is being advertised as a feature which has been given its own special name. because NO ONE ELSE advertises it as a feature let alone give the feature a specific "cool name" since they have gone and done that feature years ago. I remember I think it was JayzTwoCents who did a video on a Logitech full size wireless keyboard like 3 years ago and was shocked they did not have remappable keys on that keyboard except for the macro keys on the side

[@Y0n3z]

i figured put the problem at the section where you shake the keyboards... its that you assume there are pros playing on keyboard... not once has there been a pro on keyboard...

[@ItsNotFrey]

This really should've had the PowerPlay treatment and had actual support for aftermarket optical switches. Then I can see a point for it costing the way it does.

[@papabutpaste119]

Glad you did review it. I like to hear your thoughts on unreasonable products.

[@goblinslayer5404]

i like that volume rocker form factor and placement ngl, hopefully others implement similar ideas

[@caseyzx]

i hate how good the light looks on them. 0 light leak and only light on the keycaps just looks so good...

[@fuggetz]

you should honestly be a product manager or something. you have better ideas than most of these top companies lol

[@ColdCassidy]

i like how they started from inexpensive but really good quality to cheap but pricey products, like their last par of headset they released for 250$ with little to no improvement just that they are wireless

[@pheezus]

The tolerances on those switches, plate, and caps make me physically ill lmao that shake test was very telling about the quality

[@Webbsy]

I love that you dumped on this (rightly so) and weren't put off by all the idiots calling out MKBHD for being honest. Companies are getting desperately greedy and need to do better for their community. GG Frank!

[@LeoDavidson]

I'll never understand this trend of keyboards that require layers/chords for basic functionality you use every day. Unless it's just to look pretty on a desk where someone never actually uses their computer. Even if you only ever play games and nothing else, you still need the cursor and function keys often enough that they're worth the TINY bit of extra space.

[@Vesiputous]

Similar boards are available for around $50. I have to nitpick about the negativity on 1kHz polling rate, though. Fractions of a millisecond is absolutely tiny compared to anything else involved in a key press. If the point was that you can't go slower, I'd like to have seen where that matters - other than technically not having control over it. With the mentioned best gaming keyboard, the polling rate is changeable but at 1kHz at max.

[@Pit940d]

My suggestion is Logitech should make a 65% and 76% version, cause it has the arrow key. Plus upgrade the G305/304 mouse to 60 gram. These 2 should sell well. Heck even a low profile slim version with 65 or 75 % would be nice...like keychron.

[@kallemaenpaa2272]

The very stock green pcb got me rolling. Havent seen that in a while

[@4Poundjellybean]

Yeah I know right. It looks so archaic. But then again, they could'nt even properly make it hotswap so its not like you will see it anyway.

[@oolongTea295]

Lol, my 40$ red dragon keyboard has the green pcb, but they were hotswappable, and that was 3 years ago. Logitech is progressing, but backwards.

[@_chris5239]

Not even having an adjustable actuation distance at $180 is crazy

[@NotykatsuCee]

I was kind of shocked at first on how different your intro went but it's very clear how anyone would be frustrated if a company that u praised for years suddenly throws an apple move of selling the brand without innovation. Basically paying for the brand's name at this point. Hopefully your video lets logitech fix this lackluster kind of a keyboard

[@workerq1]

Not surprising since they somehow struck a goldmine with the GPX, now they're trying to see what sticks to the wall while keeping the outrageous price.

Man I have a 25 bucks 96 Mechanical Keyboard and it doesn't make a rattle sound like that. As if Logitech thinks the eSports fans are easy to fool.

[@LegendGary323]

That intro was too good lmao! I bet you thought of the intro idea while actually using that very same toilet! Lol

[@EonityLuna]

The funny thing is their Logitech MX Mechanical line (I'm using the Mini Tactile Quiet version here) has far-better build quality than this. They can do way better than this with their business- and productivity-focused product lines, but it seems like their gaming division dropped the ball hard here.

[@Agent067]

I think the point of the price is when it goes on sale, probably soon, it's more enticing for the less Keyboard inclined to buy it cause of how much they're "saving". Though maybe that's me giving them too much credit and they expect people to really spend enough money to buy this keyboard instead of a used nintendo switch lite or something.

[@RealZepex]

As said before the switches are the only redeeming quality, because I wanted Logitech to make a optical/hall effect keyboard so hopefully they can learn from it to make better keyboard with better optical/hall effect switches

[@Trickshotter]

We are at an era of keyboards where doing absolutely nothing special is considered bad. That is a good thing but it makes it harder and harder for new companies to stand out

[@Excellerator420]

Holy shit 180..... Bro my Razer Blackwidow Tourmey was 120 with a steel body and its going on 8yrs of heavy WoW and FF14 abuse. Half the rgb doesn't display properly as of the past year. But the keyboard its self works like a tank. The only reason I'm thinking of replacing it is to get slightly quieter switches. But logitech can keep that shit.

Logitech has been doing this for a while. Which is why I switched to Redragon a while ago and haven't looked back. Still use a G502, but that's about it for Logitech nowadays.

[@casuallyweird04]

If you want to go down the custom keyboards world, for just 10$ extra, you can get a Gem80 which is a fabulous board stacked with foam and modability. I have both the Gem80 wireless and the Wooting 60HE and I love both keyboards. One is the peak of gaming keyboards, the other the peak of custom boards (while not breaking the bank, customs can even reach 1k$)!

[@JaredCreech]

Mr. Frank, my buddy was in need of a windows key. I remembered watching one of your videos way back when, and you plugged a website for buying windows keys. Do you remember what the website was?

[@ModernTenshi04]

My Logitech G710+, which I believe was Logitech's first mech keyboard, was giving up the goat on a few keys after 11+ years of use. Looked around and ended up on the Wooting 60HE+ and honestly couldn't be happier. I have Logitech's Superlight 2 (got it for Christmas) and it's been a great mouse, but in general I agree that Logitech is charging far too much for a lot of their stuff as of late. If this Pro X 60 came out and had rapid trigger keys but Logitech's software that would let me set profiles per game and automatically switch to those profiles when I launch the game? I might have canceled my order and stuck with Logitech. I also really like their Lightspeed wireless tech for my mouse, and having the same tech for my keyboard to be fully wireless would have been fantastic. I've generally liked Logitech gear and at one point nearly all of my peripherals (speakers, mouse, keyboard, headset, webcam, mouse pad/mat) were all Logitech. My headset gave up the goat pretty quickly (partially my fault), and when my keyboard finally did as well nothing of what Logitech offered made sense for the spend.
