Logitech G, a brand of Logitech and provider of gaming equipment, today announced the launch of the Logitech G PRO X 60 LIGHTSPEED. The compact gaming keyboard offers everything ambitious pro gamers need for successful performance.
Professional eSports athletes need the best hardware to optimize their performance. The compact keyboard design, which is only 60 percent of the size of a regular keyboard, is becoming increasingly popular among professionals because it leaves more room for mouse movements, which are particularly important for FPS competitions. Such a compact keyboard can be positioned more flexibly and is also easier to take with you to different tournaments.
Compact keyboard for gaming
"The PRO X 60 is the perfect solution for gamers looking for a keyboard that adapts to any setup and different conditions. Plus, it's super easy to transport when traveling. I love it," says Michaele 'Mimi' Lindtrup, G2 Valorant eSports athlete.
While smaller keyboards are great for competitive gaming, they often lack important keys that some gamers need. To solve this problem, the Pro X 60 features innovative KEYCONTROL technology, which offers gamers enhanced customization options.
"We have years of experience in developing and manufacturing keyboards for and with pro gamers," explains Brent Barry, Head of eSports and the PRO Series at Logitech G. "By working closely with gamers, we have gained important insights that played a key role in the development of the PRO X 60 and the integration of KEYCONTROL. The keyboard has everything that professional gamers want: a compact design combined with advanced technologies that ensure that players can always achieve their best performance."
KEYCONTROL is designed to expand the keyboard's capabilities beyond those of a standard keyboard. KEYCONTROL is an easy-to-use tool that can be activated or controlled via the G HUB and offers gamers numerous customization options. For example, they can assign up to 15 functions to a key to support their individual play style. Combined with G-SHIFT, an advanced feature that can be assigned to almost any key, gamers gain access to a new virtual key layer under which they can activate their individually assigned functions. For example, up to 15 commands can be assigned to a single key, which gamers can switch between using G-SHIFT.
"I love the original PRO keyboard, but now that my game has evolved, I wanted something more compact with a similar feature set to have more room for my mouse," says Emma 'Emy' Choe, FlyQuest RED, Counterstrike 2 eSports athlete. "Now that I have the PRO X 60 with KEYCONTROL, I have more room for flick shots while also being able to customize my setup so I don't miss any keys. I can't wait to use the keyboard in competition."
Wireless connection
The PRO X 60 also offers the proven performance and reliability of Logitech G's wireless LIGHTSPEED technology. In terms of speed, it is in no way inferior to a wired connection and even challenging environments are no problem for the technology.
When professional gamers compete in a tournament, they are often in a confined space with thousands of people wearing RF-generating devices. Logitech tests LIGHTSPEED in a state-of-the-art soundproof chamber that generates RF interference to ensure that LIGHTSPEED can handle even this challenge. Professional gamers can be confident that their clicks and mouse movements are accurately captured and transmitted so they can perform at their best.
"It's extremely important to have a fast and reliable connection when competing," says Even 'Verhulst' Verhulst, TSM, Apex Legends eSports athlete. A really fast wireless connection can make the difference between winning and losing at the highest level."
The PRO X 60 is available with GX Optical switches in tactile and linear configurations, which offer faster operation than traditional mechanical switches for even faster gameplay. Unlike mechanical switches, the GX Optical is triggered by light waves, sending the command instantly and eliminating the delay required by mechanical switches. With precision and speed, the signal is passed on the moment it is triggered. The switches are also factory-oiled and designed for a comfortable gaming and typing experience.
