Overview
A compact esports desk with little room beside the mouse is the setting for this Logitech G keyboard, which trims the layout and wires directly to the PC. Switch beds accept magnetic analog switches or standard mechanical ones, and a gasket mount and double-shot PBT keycaps shape the feel.
Adjustable actuation, rapid trigger and a very high wired polling rate are the reasons to look at it, for players who tune each key's response. The limitation is that it is corded only, built for PC and Mac gaming, and its full tuning depends on the Logitech G HUB software.
Who it's for
Esports and fast-shooter players on PC or Mac who want to tune actuation per key and swap switch types as tastes change. Casual typists who never customize will not use most of its features, and anyone needing wireless should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Hot-swappable switch beds
- Adjustable actuation distance
- Rapid trigger support
- Gasket mount and PBT keycaps
- Wired connection only
- Plastic case and plate
- Compact layout trims some keys
Performance notes
The actuation point is adjustable across a range, and rapid trigger resets a key the moment it rises, so repeated presses register faster. Magnetic analog switches sense how far a key travels, while the linear mechanical switches give a familiar feel. A very high wired polling rate cuts input delay, and the gasket mount shapes the typing sound.
