You're undoubtedly right in sharing your frustration and disappointment, especially after having spent $180 US plus tax for this.

So the really cool thing about Logitech software, is that the new control panel doesn't support older devices, which means you need to have the old Logitech control panel installed for those devices.

Try the Razer Basilisk V3. It has an infinite scroll wheel, but you can click a button just below it to switch to clicky scrolling. I know some Logitech have that too, but I use middle click all the time, so I can't stand the type that switches scroll modes with middle click. My favorite part though is that it has a smart mode where the scroll wheel is clicky until you try to scroll extra fast and then it automatically switches to infinite scroll until you stop it or it loses momentum, then it goes back to clicky. So nice, especially for like video editing and scrolling through long pages.

@@strayiggytv Tbh the "nameless chinese products" pretty much caught up with the big boys now when it comes to the mice. And they evolve much much faster than the dinosaurs like Logitech and Razer. Logitech released GPX2 with a big fanfare recently, and it's basically just a GPX1 copy with USB-C and 2000MHz polling rate. And they spent years making it. Brands like Lamzu, Pulsar, Vaxee and others are releasing tons of great mice frequently, around half the price, full of latest tech, 8000MHz sensors, optical switches and encoders, super light weight, hot swappable switches etc. Logitech is living off their past fame, but they aren't the inovators in the mouse market anymore either.

A few months ago I bought a CoolerMaster SK622 60% keyboard, as I wanted to have a teeny mechanical keyboard to bring along to LAN parties and such. Considering I just needed WASD+Space for 90% of the games I played, it's done the job quite nice. While I was watching this video, I was comparing the Logitech to my CoolerMaster, and the only thing I envied was the carrying case and the volume slider on the side. Everything else was leaps and bounds better than the Logitech, and my CoolerMaster only cost $90 USD (But I got it on sale for $59)

The issue with a big company doing mechanical keyboards that are good enough for enthusiast is repair/replacement costs. The “standard” hot swap system is great, but it is something that is hard to “automate” to mass produce and they are prone to ma factoring errors where the socket is not 100% aligned and so they pop off when the user installs a switch….meaning they face a choice to either have a generous refund policy or to have angry customers. It just makes sense to try to come up with a “new and innovative” switch system. What I’m getting at…they just won’t be able to make something that is cheap enough to hit the “mass market” represented by people who want a good keyboard for gaming but has the quality expected by a keyboard enthusiast.

i would LOVE a video on your mouse! my partner has been looking for a new mouse and yours looks really awesome so i'd love to learn more about why you love it!

[@STbrownprodzu]

Logitec can only make mouses

[@moltenbullet]

Honestly with the money Logitech has, I can't believe they haven't just straight up acquired a mechanical keyboard brand that people in the hobby already enjoy using and can be built to a higher standard.

[@baronvonderg]

As someone who bought the G910 tkl wireless - and loved it - having since then delved deeper into the custom keybaord era and areas - I have seen the glaring disparity on quality that logitech has taken. The rattley keycaps - when I got it i was placebo'd into it because of the price I was paying and the combo that I got. I have since moved on from it (which i feel really ashamed to admit because I did love the keyboard initially, the low profile keys, wireless that never failed and the layout and tactile style of it) and then - Ive found myself ive bought 4 boards since, a mix of custom and prebuilt with different styles etc (switches, build material etc) PS - wish I had kept my previous boards for your Boardwalk - traded them into my local cash converters cus i needed stuff to fund - oh well there go the Steelseries and Corsair keyboards I had laying around as 'spares' hehheh..ahhaah...hahaha...spares....keybaords...hahahah

[@aerobigmasterwong8454]

What an impressive keyboard! Whenever i type on this keyboard, it creates a marvellous booming sound that makes people thought I'm carrying a machine gun, making them no longer wish to mess with me again. Great job done!

[@raptorsensei74922]

I kinda hate how logitech just slightly remakes its 2018 keyboard, makes it wireless and charges you a kidney for it.

[@ChrisB5_]

I've tried optical switches and currently use them on my daily driver (Hunstman Tournament Edition), but they took so much getting used to. Took me a few months to really get used to the actuation points especially since it actuates BEFORE the click... it doesn't have the same forced feedback as your standard set. However I think some of these companies are marketing optical as 'gamer' due to how highly sensitive they can end up being, and that is such a bad reason to give it the 'gamer' tag. It kind of makes the keyboard harder to really use (esp if you need to smash a key) until you get used to the very sensitive and rather high actuation point (it's way further up then you'd think so spamming the key like a normal switch does nothing as it thinks you've still depressed the key). I can only assume this has similar flaws, and pair that with the price tag and cheap materials? Yikes.... I think mine was closer to $80 at the time. I can see why everyone is calling it a scam. Logitech really messed up here. Not to mention proprietary switches for that cost? Insane.

[@SaintsPurgatory]

Throw in the rgb as it seems that's all you need for a 'gamer' keyboard.

[@AdreEilyn]

0:54 I hate the way you sneak diss if I catch flight its gonna be direct 🗣️📢 (Subscribed now)

[@guilhermedasilva8854]

If you are resting your pinky on the case and not on the shift key while gaming you are MENTAL (completely agree with the rest though)

[@potato9832]

I rest my left 5, 4, and 3 fingers on the side case when I'm typing or coding. I hover over ESC and ALT-TAB. Without resting on the side, hovering would wear the hand out quicker. I suppose it might be the same for navigating the game UI.

[@ToyKeeper]

I have a Logitech keyboard+touchpad thingy that I'm pretty happy with. Not because it's good (it's not), but because it's super cheap, has amazing battery life, is nearly indestructible (since there's almost nothing inside), and there's literally nothing else on the market in its niche. But if I want to actually _type_ more than a couple words, I grab something else. The Logitech is only used for launching videos on the living room television.

[@MatrixRay19]

Hypio, I beg you! Please review the AttackShark K85, it's a budget hall effect keyboard with a ton of "stock mods", this thing is insanely good, it frigging thocks! It has factory lubed switches and stabilizers, and there is very little stem wiggle(to me at least), and the best of all: the stabs, brooo the stabs are something else, no rattle, at all, this thing is solid! Specs: 80% ANSI layout(sadness for me that uses ISO derived layouts) PC plate Silicone Gaskets(superb performance btw) KNOB North facing RGB LEDs, big sad(specially because it uses double shot PBT with not shine-through) Please review it, it's great for the price!(best bang for buck I have seen) Love, bye!

[@EvilJ069]

I just gave them $225 for a G915 that came with a cheap cable, crappy instructions on a small square of toilet paper, and found out they removed the numlock indicator to replace it with a battery light so they could use the same boards as their wired counterparts. Then a day later, I find it on Amazon for $40 less -_-

[@ZARUSI]

MOD THE DAMN KEYBOARD HIPYO!!! MODDDDDD ITTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@guessit5036]

I think the last time Logitech ever tried to innovate in any field was when Spartacus led a slave uprising against a Roman Empire.

[@T.Lspitz]

Hippo, if you didn't know, logitech has many mice that feature the infinite scroll wheel(I too find this feature a must have) such as the MX master 3 and the MX anywhere 2 and/or 3 and the the non-gaming 502 and/or 501 mouse plus several others. Personally I love the same mouse you have in this video but my personal favorite is the MX master 3s or whatever the silent edition version is called. The mouse click is completely silent which i find really nice plus its a bonus to have in a work environment. I feel the only thing its missing is a small rgb accent added to it such as an underglow feature, that would be absolutely stunning imo.

[@end_slayer]

5:23 G502 hero is an amazing mouse. Love the extra buttons, the software, and the infinite scroll wheel.

[@ZanyCat]

"They say that it's terrible, but none of them have actually tried it." Isn't that just a normal day on Twitter?

[@castin5244]

I remember a couple years ago going into a best buy and seeing a hyperX 60% board that was all metal, had super smooth and solid feeling linear switches, and nice shine through keycaps with no hotspots. And it was $79.99....

[@Magoopunk]

why did that kendrick lamar reference catch me off guard

[@andresilvasophisma]

Their mice are very well known for having crappy switches. They have a tendency to start do double clicking in a matter of months.

[@macleod1592]

As a hardcore gamer, I tend to agree with you that the benefit to the hall effect switches is a little bit exaggerated. I'm sure it helps but "this is basically cheating" is a little much.

[@denvera1g1]

I basically know nothing about keyboards, but at least i know that a clear key, is going to have a massive hot spot, just make it frosted and be done with it. Heck i got these keycaps for my logitech G610 called 'blue pudding' i had no idea what that meant but they look great on this keyboard, except most of the non letter/number keys wouldnt fit so i had a mix of blue keycaps with whilte fog bases, surrounded by black keycaps with terrible hot spots on the font. for things like enter,shift, alt and space.

[@AnthonyClarkPaladin]

Thanks for this video. I thought that looked cheap from the first time I saw it. Thanks for proving my hunch right! I gave up on Logitech when my 5, and 6 numpad lights died. Lost the color green. On my G815 keyboard. I contacted them about it, and they said that since it was out of warrenty there was nothing they could, or cared, to try to do. Since it was just 'buy a new keyboard or else' from them, I went and bought a Steelseries Apex 3 TKL, and love it. Wish you could review one of these too. =) I like your vids. I also dropped the logitech mouse, and got a razor. Still has the rgb I love.

[@faisfaizal5194]

Didn't they replaced the CEO with someone who says they want people to buy subscriptions for their mouse? Yeah, that might answer your questions

[@miravlix]

"pinky gate" the fact the keyboard makes it horrible to not use your pinkyt, is a step in the right direction. You found the ONLY good thing about the keyboard is that it makes bad people have to learn to place their fingers right.

[@lam7899]

heres the thing pros dont care about aluminum or sound they just want low acuation force and responsiveness

[@victinyy]

After becoming interested in keyboards and exposed more to the keyboard community, I realized how these gaming companies are ripping people off in broad daylight.

[@SuperDominicS]

My dad had myme pick something for black friday last year for my birthday, and although I pucked the razer huntsman optical instead of analog, it's still very great* (besides the software on my 12 year old pc), the design was subtle with the name across the bottom, freely changeable lighting, binding and performance despite the awkward price, and the addition of swapping switches if I really wished. Logitech's board feels like a direct copy of analog board, but being nearly worse then one even I own. I think the main benefit of this would be how compact it is with the side wheels in addition to good lighting and maybe ok response times (though wired) or click feel, but still it feels like a dated keyboard releasing in the current era. My assumption is that they had ideas of releasing and 60% but forgot years ago and are just trying to compete with the better more sophisticated brands. I'm still convinced that they only knew what they were doing years ago when making stuff like the g502 and other peripherals back then. In fact their bigger older boards are prob cheaper and give better performance for the price.

[@DivergentDroid]

The thing is a dust and bug Magnet just going by how much space under the keys there are for critters to get into. It should come with a membrane keyboard cover at least.

[@t3hGawd]

What do you mean there's nothing in the box aside for the keyboard, they filled the box with the premium air all tech companies put in with their minimalist products.

[@Alalpog]

They made a typo. It was supposed to be only $18.00 They put the decimal point in the wrong area.

[@Kurokeet]

The sad thing is for the around same price you can get: Drunkdeer A75 (75% Hall Effect Rapid Trigger Hotswap) Steelseries Apex Pro Mini (60% Hall Effect Rapid Trigger) Razer Huntsman 75% (75% Optical Switch) Wooting 60HE Logitech should just really stick to mice when it comes to gaming stuff, they got that at least close to nailed down. Despite taking a while to implement USB C onto their flagship, hid 4k Polling until a year into the products lifecycle, and put probably the most horrendous PTFE skates I have ever felt onto a mouse.

[@atomotron]

I've yet to discover how exactly a 60% keyboard can be NOT trash. And its not about the quality. Its about missing the freakin kays!

[@FenixFeniks]

One of the reasons ive stopped buying new logitech hardware is because of the unending bugs I kept running into with their current main software. I even had to dig up the newest version of their LGS software so my 502 lightspeed and g13 macropad would both be compatible. The quality of their keyboards have dropped substantially since 2016.

[@happydappyman]

I had the low-tier Logitech mechanical keyboard, K845. It's a soldered board and it lasted about 8 months before the switch on the D key started to go bad. Imagine having to throw a mechanical keyboard in the trash after less than a year. I've literally never owned a keyboard that I got rid of because it's stopped working... And I still have keyboards which are 10+ years old. Btw, I also had to get rid of my original G502 because the right click went bad and wouldn't let me hold it down. The G502X fixed that though with optical switches, so that's what I've got now. Seriously though, everything from Logitech used to be TANKY. I still have a set of Logitech X-540 speakers which are 18 years old! and of course they still work like new. It sucks what's happened to the brand

[@PWingert1966]

As any performer on Only Friends knows: "It's all about having and using the right lube in the right amount, in the right places to ensure the best camera angles as your audience's fingers slide across the key caps" Right? The Pre-lube of the switches is a fan service!

[@Bad888Max]

question do you have review of Logitech G PRO X TKL keyboard. is it good maybe if it goes on sale? also question does razer optical switches are also proprietary or are replacable with other types of switches?

[@zodiacfml]

I could think twice at $19. Issue is Logitech does not have manufacturing with the class/style of custom kb, only mass produced keyboards that are used everywhere but Logitech wants to price their best effort where custom keyboards are.

[@MaskedMammal]

Infinite scrollwheel is also a must-have for me. And it's fantastic on the Basilisk Pro 3, too. Razer is pretty much copying Logitech, but I think they've been doing a better job of the "premium" gamer tech lately.

[@light_switch___8920]

You set your expectations a little high when reviewing a $170 keyboard.
