Pro esports athletes demand the absolute best equipment to
improve their competitive play. The 60 percent keyboard form factor
has become increasingly popular among pros because it leaves more
space for the dynamic mouse movements required for pro-level FPS
competition. A 60 percent keyboard is easier to position perfectly
for maximum performance, easily fitting into their competition
space, and it’s also easier for players to carry to and from
tournaments.
“The PRO X 60 is the perfect fit for players who need a keyboard
that can adapt to any setup and condition. It's also super easy to
carry around when traveling. I love it.” said Michaela 'mimi'
Lintrup, G2 Esports, Valorant.
While smaller format keyboards are great for competitive play,
they can lack critical keys that some pro players need. To solve
this, the PRO X 60 introduces an innovative new technology,
KEYCONTROL, to provide gamers with customization capabilities far
beyond what a standard keyboard delivers.
“We have years of experience designing and building keyboards
and switches for and with pro gamers,’ stated Brent Barry, Head of
Esports and PRO Series at Logitech G. “Through our unique
collaboration with players, we gathered important insights that
played a key role in our design of the PRO X 60 and highlighted the
need for KEYCONTROL. This new capability has everything a Pro
player could want: a compact, portable form factor, combined with
advanced new technologies all designed to give them the equipment
and performance they need to win.”
KEYCONTROL was developed to broaden the keyboard’s capabilities
beyond that of a standard full-sized keyboard. A user-friendly tool
enabled in GHUB, KEYCONTROL grants players significantly more
customization options by allowing them to assign up to 15 functions
per key and tailor their keyboard to their unique style. When
combined with G-SHIFT, an advanced feature that players can assign
to almost any button (like a mouse side button to an action),
players can activate the new layer of keys and get quick access to
any key or command directly under their left hand and WASD keys, or
any other programmable key on the keyboard. This means the missing
critical keys are right where you need them, ensuring
lightning-fast access to essential commands and propelling gamers
to victory.
"I love the original PRO keyboard, but now that my game has
evolved, I wanted something smaller to allow for more space on my
desktop for my mouse without losing all the key functions," said
Emma “Emy” Choe, FlyQuest RED, CounterStrike 2, "Now that I have
the PRO X 60 with KEYCONTROL, I have more room for flick shots, all
while being able to tailor my layout so I don't miss any keys. I
can't wait to use this in competition."
The PRO X 60 also features the trusted performance and
reliability of Logitech G’s LIGHTSPEED wireless technology.
LIGHTSPEED wireless was designed to be as fast as wired but also
extremely robust, even in the most difficult environments.
When a pro player competes at a tournament, thousands of people
often surround them with RF-generating devices such as mobile
phones, production cameras, and various networks. Logitech tests
LIGHTSPEED in a cutting-edge anechoic chamber that generates
equivalent radio frequency interference to ensure our LIGHTSPEED
wireless protocol functions flawlessly. Pro players can trust that
their clicks and swipes will be registered precisely, enabling them
to perform at their best.
“It's super important to have a reliable and fast connection
when you're competing because you want to have the least amount of
input lag possible when you're in a competitive scenario. Having a
really fast wireless connection can be the difference between
winning and losing at the highest level,” said Evan "Verhulst"
Verhulst, TSM, Apex Legends.
The PRO X 60 is available with GX Optical switches in both
tactile and linear configurations, offering faster actuation than
standard mechanical switches for faster gameplay. Unlike mechanical
switches, GX Optical actuates through the power of light, instantly
sending your command, eliminating the debounce required by
mechanical switches. With precision and speed, the signal is
unleashed the moment you engage. The switches are also
factory-lubricated and designed to provide a satisfying gaming and
typing experience.
Additional features in the PRO X 60 keyboard include:
- Dual-shot PBT keycaps
- LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting
- Game mode switch
- Volume roller and media controls
- Bluetooth
- 2:1 LIGHTSPEED Adapter
- Semi-hard carrying case

Available in Black, White, and Pink, the PRO X 60 LIGHTSPEED
Wireless Gaming Keyboard is available for pre-order now at
LogitechG.com for $179 US and €229. It will be available from major
