Logitech G makes your keyboard personal

Your gaming setup should feel like it belongs to you. It’s your gaming fingerprint, built up through the games you play and the way you play them. You should be able to choose hardware that works your way, rather than changing the way you play to suit it.

Settling for someone else’s idea of the perfect keyboard isn’t an option. Logitech G keyboards inspire you to make your own choices. Change the feel of the keys, switch up your presets, and configure your controls to respond how and when you want. It all adds up to a keyboard that feels tailor-made for your playstyle.

tl;dr

  • Logitech G keyboards match your unique "gaming fingerprint" rather than forcing you to adapt to rigid hardware.
  • The premium G512 X features multi-point actuation, letting you trigger two separate commands with a single keypress.
  • The G316 X is a daily workhorse, with an onboard dial and display for quick media and brightness adjustments, along with full key remapping via the G Hub app.

Find the feel that fits

Have you ever used a keyboard that just isn’t the right fit? It’s too high. It’s too quiet. The keys don’t feel right. It doesn’t respond the way you want it to, and you’re losing games because of it. That’s the difference between using any keyboard and finding the right keyboard.

Logitech G keyboards give you the freedom to build a setup that feels right. The G512 X even lets you choose between your switch types, with 39 dual-mode keys that let you choose between TMR analog and traditional mechanical switches, depending on how you want each key to feel and respond.

With TMR, you get more control over your inputs, with keys responding gradually depending on how far you press them. Give your WASD keys the gradual touch of analog switches, allowing you more control over your movement, and then switch to a sharper, firmer mechanical press for your weapons or accessories.

You can also adjust the actuation points on the G512 X, changing how far you need to press a key before it registers. Set it closer to the top for a quicker response, or further down for a little more travel. Or give it two jobs, with multi-point action assigning two commands to a single keypress at different depths. SAPP rings give you a little tactile bump to ensure you know when you’ve hit the right depth, too.

Gliding across your keyboard with touch-type accuracy isn’t enough if the keyboard isn’t set up properly for the way you play. Logitech G keyboards are designed to be moulded to your playstyles and preferences so you don’t have to compromise.

A new config? Easy with the G Hub app. You can save a different profile for each game you play with Logitech G keyboards, so you don’t need to start from scratch every time. Macros and quick keys, down to polling rates and actuation settings, are all adjustable. What you set up for an FPS won’t necessarily work for a racer, for example.

You don’t have to work everything out yourself, either. G Hub lets you browse presets and settings shared by other players, so you can try a different configuration and see how it changes the way you play. Keep the ideas that work, change the ones that don’t, and build up your own style and set of techniques.

When every input counts, the hardware has to keep up. Both the G512 X and G316 X support an 8 kHz polling rate, reporting your inputs with ultra-fast speeds of up to 8,000 times a second. Game Mode also lets you disable keys that could get in the way mid-match, so an accidental Windows key press won’t send you back to your desktop, either. You’re free to focus on your game, not on disruptions.

Ready for whatever you play

Your keyboard is the workhorse you use each day to battle through each task. A spreadsheet isn’t the same as a first-person shooter, and your keyboard needs to handle more than just your game controls. Logitech G keyboards give you plenty of range for that.

The Logitech G316 X gives you quick access to everyday functions through its dial and dot-matrix display, along with Keycontrol settings that give you the power to remap any of your keys. You can adjust volume, brightness, and media without reaching for your mouse and then switch back to your game without ever leaving it.

You’re not limited to a single size or style. The Logitech G512 X 75 keeps it compact by ditching the numpad and function keys, with the G512 X 98 giving you the full-size layout. The smaller board leaves more space for your mouse, but the G512 X 98 gives you plenty of extra keys to hotwire for macros.

Logitech G keyboards are good for a whole range of budgets, too. The G316 X is the accessible starting point for gamers, with a gasket-mounted design and PBT keycaps that still give a high-quality finish. Meanwhile, the G512 X 75 and G512 X 98 push to premium with their multi-layer construction and Lightsync RGB.

Whichever one you choose, you’re not stuck with the same fresh-out-of-the-box keyboard you start with. Logitech G gives you the freedom to change your setup as your favorite games and playing style evolve.
