Logitech makes a few of my favourite keyboards, and the G Professional X TKL (or “tenkeyless,” that means it lacks a Numpad) is among the many finest 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 permits you to pair a number of units with a single, low-profile USB dongle, so that you needn’t use all of your ports in your varied equipment.
The construct high quality of this keyboard is slick and trendy. It is minimal and does not take up a lot house in your desk, and it has a refined metallic rim across the edge that offers it a bit of aptitude that almost all plain keyboards lack. The amount wheel within the higher proper is clean and simple to achieve, and alongside the highest are helpful media controls so you may pause your music once you lastly get right into a sport after a protracted queue. For my tastes, the extra clicky-clacky a keyboard, the higher, and the Black Clicky switches have served me nicely. Every keypress looks like I am sending tiny thunder all the way down to my sport. Nevertheless, in case you favor one thing softer, you may select one other change sort. The one factor I dislike is the dearth of a Numpad—sure, I am a type of weirdos who prefers having a Numpad. However for most individuals, that is the keyboard to beat.
★ Various: The Logitech Professional X 60 for $180 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has just about all the advantages of the Professional X TKL in a smaller, extra compact bundle. It retains the amount wheel, Recreation mode change, and Bluetooth/Lightspeed buttons by transferring them to the perimeters of the keyboard, whereas slimming the entire thing all the way down to a 60 p.c structure.
