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.
