Logitech G512 X mixes analog and mechanical switches
TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Logitech launches the wired G512 X gaming keyboard with 39 hybrid slots for mixing analog Hall effect and 3/5-pin mechanical switches. It offers 75-key or 98-key layouts in black/purple or white/turquoise for $179.99-$199.99, launching May 2. TMR sensors enable dual actuation and rapid trigger on analog keys, with easy swapping and onboard storage.

Logitech launches the wired G512 X gaming keyboard, which lets users mix-and-match analog Hall effect and mechanical switches across 39 hybrid slots.

The company claims these slots work with almost all popular analog switches and 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches. It comes in a compact 75-key layout or a larger 98-key version, in black with purple accents or white with turquoise accents. Both launch May 2 for $179.99 and $199.99, with preorders available now.

TMR sensors in the analog switches enable up to two actuation points per key for customized input registration, plus rapid trigger that resets keys without full rebound. Logitech states the second actuation point delivers a tactile response during presses.
Users can store extra switches on the keyboard's back. Analog features like dual actuation and rapid trigger deactivate with mechanical switches swapped in, but the design allows easy reversion.

Linux Foundation Debuts Akrites to Speed Up Open Source Vulnerability Fixes

The Linux Foundation launched Akrites on Thursday with 19 founding members including major tech firms and banks to organize remediation of critical open source vulnerabilities before AI-powered attackers can exploit them. The project tackles the reality that fewer than 5% of thousands of AI-identified flaws have received patches by instituting one confidential response team in place of scattered reports.

CISA gives feds until Sunday to patch exploited Cisco and PTC flaws

CISA has ordered federal agencies to patch two critical vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Communications Manager and PTC Windchill/FlexPLM products by June 28 due to active exploitation. The move underscores the urgency of addressing known exploited flaws in widely used enterprise and industrial software.

Apple Vision Pro and Smart Glasses Chief Paul Meade Departs for OpenAI

Paul Meade, Apple’s VP in charge of Vision Pro and smart glasses development, is leaving for OpenAI’s hardware unit by next week to work on its AI-powered devices. The departure, reported June 26, 2026, continues a pattern of executives exiting Apple for AI rivals and follows a 2025 restructuring of the company’s spatial computing teams.
