Whaaa...? Not good -- Logitech G Pro X TKL Lightspeed

[@michaeltualatin]

got this keyboard several days ago. this is the first keyboard I've bought in my life. before this one I use an samsung mechanic AT keyboard came with a PC in 1996 and it still work fine.

[@mynusten]

Wow!!! You are in for a treat. Keyboard tech has come a long ways since 1996! All sorts of cool, keyboard tech now.

[@justinbillen3934]

Nice review man. I'm disappointed in this keyboard too but I bought and am using it anyway because it ticks all my boxes - especially the 2.4G/Bluetooth and volume wheel . The problem with the Azoth, IMO, is the terrible required Armoury Crate software. I don't like G Hub much either, but it's way better than Asus' software.

[@mynusten]

@justinbillen3934 Agree with you 100% on Armoury Crate…I lose hair over that app. 🤣 The Logitech Pro X TKL Lightspeed is an okay typing experience with nice add-ons. My primary gripe is the Logitech tax. I just checked Amazon and it’s still selling for $190! 🤯 Thanks for watching my content, engaging and the nice comment! 👍

[@owenjennings8575]

Very well done!

[@mynusten]

@owenjennings8575 thanks for the nice comement and engaging with my content. Long ways to go to perfect my KZbin craft, but learning a ton and having fun! 👍

[@MEHIGH_16]

Thanks,it helped me alot.

[@AllelineNguyen]

I could have made a lot of excuses for the shortcoming of this keyboard, UNTIL you said it doesn't come with hot swappable switches. There is NO excuse for that at the $200 price range. Even if "gamers" don't care about sound quality, I'm sure they would want to try out different switches with different actuation force, and maybe even have different actuation force for specific keys.

[@mynusten]

@AllelineNguyen Yea, agree completely. I am a keyboard enthusiast-"light" and have built a couple of my own keyboards. After going down that rabbit hole, I realized 1) it takes a lot of time & planning and 2) its very expensive. The Razer Azoth showed that a mass market keyboard can give keyboard enthusiasts about 85% of the sound and the ability to mod-out a keyboard. I don't fault Logitech gaming for margin (pun intended), but that doesn't mean we gamers have to agree to it.

[@MarbsMusic]

Been looking forward to this review! Like you I'm very disappointed the more I learn about this. To me it's an update to the G Pro TKL as even the G Pro X had replaceable switches. We are still enjoying the Azoth quite a bit which were the same price and have so many options. Great honest review, thank you!

[@mynusten]

Thanks @MarbsMusic! Yea, I am a die hard Logitech Fan Man, but this gaming keyboard came-up short of expectations. Thanks for the encouragement and support. Super appreciated.

[@dushaunlewis7574]

I've been waiting for Logitech to launch their lightspeed version of the Pro X keyboard for a while now. But after watching your review I'm also disappointed with the shortcomings of this product. As you said in the video I'll look elsewhere for a good wireless TKL keyboard. Thanks for the review, I'm glad this showed up on my recommended page.

[@mynusten]

@dushaunlewis7574 thanks for watching and engaging in the comments section. In regards to the keyboard overall, its okay, but not at $200. The Lightspeed wireless tech that Logitech uses, though is excellent. That said, you can get Lightspeed in other keyboards that Logitech offers. Good luck in you buying decisions and thanks for the comment.

[@ashlynnicole76]

I really enjoyed your video and learned I learned alot. I want a smaller, wireless keyboard I can carry with my laptop. I was thinking of buying the Logitech G Pro X TKL keyboard. However, your video opened my eyes about the price, material, etc. Now I leaning towards the ASUS - ROG TKL 75% keyboard; which I may go ahead and purchase. According to the PC MAG, it is rated-outstanding! Thanks again!

[@mynusten]

@ashlynnicole76 if you are in the market, the Asus ROG Azoth is absolutely excellent and I bought two. 😁Its not the most portable keyboard, but it will pair with your laptop no problem. Thanks for watching my content and engaging! Really appreciate it. 👍

[@ashlynnicole76]

@@mynusten Could I ask why did you buy 2 keyboards? I'm debating on buying clicky or tactile. Also, why would you say it is "not the most portable"? Is it heavy?

[@mynusten]

The Azoth is a heavier gaming keyboard & a bit thick, for sure. If you are in the market for a traveling 75%, mechanical, keyboard for work / productivity, I’d check the NuPhy Air 75%. Linear switches will be more quiet, but tactile switches feel better for lots of typing. I bought two Azoth’s because I do a lot of testing on the keyboard. Easily, my favorite mass market keyboard. Hope this helps.

[@ashlynnicole76]

@@mynusten Great, thanks!

[@mamar21]

Great video. Thanks for the feedback. Curious to hear your opinion between the Asus Azoth & the Steelseries apex Pro Wireless TKL. Maybe for a next comparison video ? :) Thank you for the review!

[@mynusten]

@mamar21 thanks for the comment and watching my video! Really appreciate it. I’ve got three keyboards lined up for the coming weeks, but I’ll check out the Steelseries Apex Pro Wireless TKL. It has been a minute since I used a Steelseries keyboard, but the one I used several years ago was solid.

[@siepplayz]

good review i still cant make up my mind as the azoth is 450 in nzd atm

[@mynusten]

Whoa! That's spendy after nearly a year since its release date. That's about $270 USD. That's a bummer as the Azoth is a superior keybaord to the Logitech G Pro X TKL Lightspeed. Good luck on your decision!

[@plutus2559]

I was really hoping for glowing reviews as this keyboard appears to be the only one that meets all my requirements by beeing wireless, brightly coloured and coming in an ISO-nordic layout. I'm not even looking for quality I just want something that doesn't look like it belongs in an office for when I connect my laptop to the tv.

[@mynusten]

@plutus2559 As big of a fan of Logitech as I am, this keyboard is a huge disappointment. I would definitely defer you to something other than this keyboard. If a 75% format works for you, you can get the very excellent Asus ROG Azoth on sale for under $200. The Corsair K65 Plus is also a fantastic 75% option is also an excellent option at $160. Hope this helps.

[@plutus2559]

@@mynusten Thanks. I couldn't justify the cost unless it was a life-changing product. I ended up going with a blue and white Akko 3068b that was on sale for about $65. It has a few fun keycaps and I have the option to switch if I can find some more colourful ones later. It seems pretty hard though. I had no idea that the layouts differed so much beyond the å ä ö before I went on this quest for a decorative keyboard. It was a fun rabbit hole to fall into though. I know so much about keyboards now that I had no idea about last week.

[@chaniibak7702]

Don’t forget, you could even get a drunk deer a75 or wooting for this price. Drunk deer especially

[@mynusten]

@chaniibak7702 Amazing, I haven't even heard of the DrunkDeer keyboard!!! Thanks for raising this option and going to do some research on the keyboard. I have the Wooting on backorder and hope to get it next month. Not sure how I'll adjust to the lack of F keys, but the rave reviews are too much to not give it a try. Thanks for watching my content and commenting! Really appreciated.

[@SICKOx]

Great video! Hope you keep making more content.

[@mynusten]

@SICKOx Thanks for the encouragement and watching my content. Still learning a ton and will continue to improve as I keep making more videos. Just delved into color correction and hope to learn this skill, too. Cheers! 🍻

[@SICKOx]

@@mynusten Awesome! Video looked great. Can't wait to see more content from you. Also, thanks for reminding me it's always a good time to learn a new skill.

[@mynusten]

@@SICKOx Thanks, SickOx (great handle, btw). I just posted an unboxing of the DrunkDeer A75 and I think this is going to be a really impressive gaming keyboard at the price. Testing it now and early results are pretty impressive.

[@SICKOx]

Thank you@@mynusten ! Sounds awesome I'll swing but and check it out! Can't wait to see the full review.

[@hurubi]

DO YOU THINK RAPID TRIGGER ON THE 60HE IS WORTH SELLING MY AZOTH FOR? i REALLY LOVE TYPING ON THE AZOTH

[@mynusten]

@huruni uncertain at this point. I ordered the 60HE, but it’s on back order until mid-October. Will give it a thorough workout once I get it. Thanks for the comment & watching my content. 👍

[@RovaniMasarin]

For this price, i still prefer my g915 for miles. Honest review, greetings from Brasil

[@mynusten]

@RovaniMasarin agree with you there. Even with the "shaky" G915 keycaps, I still think its a better board (and less expensive) than the G Pro X TKL. Many thanks for the comment & watching my content. All the best in Brasil! 👍

[@RovaniMasarin]

@@mynusten even with a lot of construction problems(shaky keycaps, missing numpad light, mini usb, full version doesn't have dongle compartment), the g915(tryhard fan of the full version) is now outdated but looking forward for the v2.

[@mynusten]

@@RovaniMasarin indeed! Very much looking forward to G915 version 2...I still use my OG G915 even with all the worn off keycaps. 😆

[@M.Godfrey]

Yeah I’m gutted they didn’t apply aluminium to the build! Maybe I should send it back 💀 😂

[@mynusten]

@@M.Godfrey I went back to my trusted, Asus ROG Azoth and returned my Logitech G Pro X TKL Lightspeed. I am hopeful Logitech will update the G915.

[@taylerdarlas1589]

i was really looking forward to the g pro x tkl given having the x i was expecting hotswap like the other pro x non lightspeed it makes me very disapointed in logitech and i think i might swap to the asus azoth due to me needing a new keyboard and not wanting to buy this one even tho i am a logitech fan boy

[@mynusten]

@taylerdarlas1589 completely understand your perspective. Most of my gaming peripherals are Logitech -- speakers, mice & webcam -- so migrating to another brand was a tough move. That said, the Azoth is an excellent keyboard and gives you 85% of a custom board. Just get ready for Armoury Crate! Armoury Crate is an acquired taste and may do a video on it. 😁

[@taylerdarlas1589]

@@mynusten I use a asus laptop for most of my use and as a primary driver due to the mobile nature of my job and I honestly like armory crate it works great on there laptops

[@mynusten]

Excellent! You know what you are getting into. 👍 I've learned to enjoy it, but wish Asus would break Armoury Crate into two apps - 1) for its hardware (PC / Laptops) and 2) for peripherals. That said, the Azoth is a great keyboard for the price & value.

[@TheMostSavageOfAllGeese]

Don’t do it 😤. Logitech for life!

[@mynusten]

@@TheMostSavageOfAllGeese I with you...my webcam (Brio), speakers (G560) and mouse (Superlight 2) are all Logitech. I'm a Logitech fan man (😁) but the G Pro X TKL at $200 is a tough sell. Once Logitech starts discounting this new TKL, I think it could make more sense...but this all comes down to the competition. If you are a keyboard fan, we are living in great times with all the options.

[@MSH3423]

very hollow sounding.... I was curious about... latency test on key pressing.. not all keyboard is built equal. especially the wireless.

[@mynusten]

@MSH3423 yea, the Logitech G Pro X TKL Lightgspeed does not sound good at all...the typing experience was subpar, too. Sodered switches, too. Not sure why Logitech priced this keyboard at $200, but there are much better options at this price point. I didn't have any issues with Lightspeed, but I'm also gaming on a top-end PC. Thanks for the comment!

[@S1ege]

I found a refurbished one on ebay for 100, worth?

[@mynusten]

It’s a disappointing keyboard and the typing experience is terrible. If you can swing a bit more cash, I’d go with the Corsair K65 Plus. You’ll be happier.

[@RespawnOver]

does the G logo light up?

[@mynusten]

Hmmm, that's a good question. I don't have the keyboard anymore, but I don't believe the Logitech G glowed on the keyboard. Thanks for watching and engaging in my content! Really appreciate it.

[@DJ-Art-Morris]

Unlike the original g pro x i was disappointed to see that the g was just painted on. It definitely won’t stand out like my mouse and powerplay mat now 😢

[@ThatanOmega]

i bought one for 80

[@mynusten]

Now that is a much better price for this keyboard. $200 is ludacrous pricing. 👍

[@MrMoa1507]

tactile or linear???

[@mynusten]

@MrMoa1507, these were the Red Linear switches. For gaming they were okay, but for typing definitely well below average. Thanks for the comment and engaging; really appreciate it.

[@razor2049]

Logicrap, lol brown Switches in a gaming keyboard and Not Hot swapable

[@mynusten]

Have to agree; the Logitech G Pro X TKL Lightspeed was a big disappointment.
