Much like finding a coffee mug with just the right handle size, or the best pillow firmness for a good night's sleep, the perfect keyboard is a little bit different for everybody. That's where the Logitech G512 X comes in, offering an out of the box, bespoke customisable experience designed to compliment whatever playstyle you have.
A radical shift away from static peripherals into something wonderfully versatile, the Logitech G512 X feels like a true love letter to gamers, a great out of the box solution for both would-be tinkerers and veteran keyboard enthusiasts alike. It allows you to use your keyboard however you like, while making fine-tuning smooth and easy whenever your needs change.
Is the G512 X the most customisable keyboard?
The G512 X delivers the deepest personalisation options Logitech G has ever offered thanks to its dual swap capabilities, allowing you to utilise both analog and mechanical switches across 39 of its hybrid TMR switch beds. It's also compatible with a wide range of analog and 3-pin/5-pin mechanical switches, so investing in the G512 X doesn't mean sacrificing your long-term faves that live on your current keyboard.
They're hot swappable too, allowing you to quickly switch things out without having to disconnect anything. Whatever mood you're in, the G512 X makes it easy to swap and change as you see fit.
You might be wondering, is the Logitech G512 X customisable with software? It absolutely is
The Logitech G512 X makes things even easier thanks to its design which blends style and function to perfection. The pinnacle of Swiss design, the G512 X is stuffed with really clever functionality—the back of the keyboard can house nine switches and five SAPP rings, while the feet that elevate the back of the peripheral double up as key pullers. No more rummaging around for your tools, everything you need is right with the G512 X itself.
That high level of customisation extends to its software, too. With a bold, colourful RGB lightbar and backlit keys that can be adjusted with the Logitech G HUB, you can jazz up the G512 X's lighting for any occasion. And if it's a little too much for you in the moment, you can make use of the keyboard's dual dials—they can be programmed however you like, including adjusting the brightness of the RGB, turning your keyboard into a fully bespoke command centre.
They're a fantastic way to fine-tune your custom keyboard experience even further. After all, keyboards have quickly become an extension of ourselves—custom keyboards reflect our personalities, can be excellent conversation starters, and allow for full expression of individuality. And being able to make them feel and look good has never been easier than with the Logitech G512 X.
Combined with the Logitech G512 X's True 8K performance—that's 8K polling rate, 8K reporting rate, and 8K processing rate—along with multipoint action that allows you to assign two actions to a single key press, the keyboard can be well and truly transformed into an ultra-precise, ultra-accurate beast while also serving as a fantastic keyboard for everyday use and functionality.
You only have to look at our very own review of this keyboard to see what makes it so special—we awarded the 98% version of the Logitech G512 X a very pretty score of 90/100. "The G512 X is absolutely loaded with smart design decisions, from tidy storage to hot-swappable analogue and mechanical switches," Hardware Writer James Bentley wrote. "It also feels great to use and comes in a competitive package—both in regard to your enemies online and alternatives in the market."
The Logitech G512 X is on sale now, available in both a 75% and 98% size—one with and one without the good ol' numpad, essentially. You can also snag a premium acrylic palm rest (sold separately) for that extra boost in comfort.
