Logitech makes a few of my favourite keyboards, and the G Professional X TKL (or “tenkeyless,” which means it lacks a Numpad) is among the many greatest gaming keyboards. It has vibrant RGB LED backlit keys, and a alternative of clicky, tactile, or linear switches, and it makes use of Logitech’s Lightspeed wi-fi adapter for aggressive gaming-level response time. I like that the adapter helps you to pair a number of units with a single, low-profile USB dongle, so that you needn’t use all of your ports on your numerous equipment.
The construct high quality of this keyboard is slick and classy. It is minimal and would not take up a lot area in your desk, and it has a delicate metallic rim across the edge that offers it somewhat aptitude that almost all plain keyboards lack. The quantity wheel within the higher proper is easy and straightforward to achieve, and alongside the highest are useful media controls so you possibly can pause your music once you lastly get right into a sport after an extended queue. For my tastes, the extra clicky-clacky a keyboard, the higher, and the Black Clicky switches have served me properly. Every keypress seems like I am sending tiny thunder all the way down to my sport. Nonetheless, for those who choose one thing softer, you possibly can select one other change kind. The one factor I dislike is the shortage of a Numpad—sure, I am a kind of weirdos who prefers having a Numpad. However for most individuals, that is the keyboard to beat.
★ Various: The Logitech Pro X 60 for $180 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has just about all the advantages of the Professional X TKL in a smaller, extra compact package deal. It retains the amount wheel, Sport mode change, and Bluetooth/Lightspeed buttons by shifting them to the sides of the keyboard, whereas slimming the entire thing all the way down to a 60 percent layout.
