Logitech G Pro X 60: The Ultimate Gaming Keyboard Flop You’ll Regret Buying
Hello everyone. Let’s talk about the Logitech G Pro X 60, a device marketed as if it’s the holy grail of compact eSports weaponry, but in reality sits somewhere between gamer gear glory and a “why on earth would you design it like this?” fever dream. And yes, they’re dangling that $30 off bait at $149.99, which isn’t exactly pocket change in the current economy – unless you’re printing your own currency in the basement like a Bond villain.
The Size – Or Lack Thereof
The “60” in the G Pro X 60’s name means it’s a 60% size keyboard. Translation: they’ve taken a perfectly functional keyboard, snipped off a good chunk of it, and hoped you’d call it “sleek” instead of “missing vital organs.” Yes, it has a smaller footprint than TKL boards, meaning you can have more desk space for flailing your mouse around like an over-caffeinated FPS streamer. But also – and here’s the kicker – it has no arrow keys. Yes, you read that correctly. No. Arrow. Keys. Apparently movement in text editors, spreadsheets, or apparently in your life is optional now.
Features That Actually Work
Logitech’s Lightspeed connectivity is genuinely solid, offering low-latency, dependable wireless gaming. I’ll give credit where credit is due – it’s like getting a top-tier gaming ping without having to sacrifice a goat to the networking gods. Customising each individual key is also a nice touch, though I question the audience who actually remaps ALL of them instead of sticking to two or three macro gimmicks before forgetting the rest exist.
Performance in the Arena
Tested in Counter-Strike and VALORANT, the keyboard is as responsive as a caffeinated intern desperate to keep their internship. The keystrokes feel tight and precise – you can feel the weapon switching speed flow through your fingertips. That travel case? Cute bonus. Because everyone is apparently one endorsement deal away from their global competitive gaming debut. Just don’t try navigating your hotel booking confirmation without arrow keys; you’ll be lost in a digital forest.
The Price Game
$149.99 is the current “deal” – down from some higher number that may or may not have been set to make this one look good. Sure, it has been about $10 cheaper before, so if you’re the patient type, wait for a better drop. But if you like to overpay now rather than score later, be my guest. If you want the wireless TKL version (with actual arrow keys like a civilized human being), that’s also on sale for $179.99 – which still begs the question, why would you pay more for something with fewer missing features?
Final Diagnosis
As your sarcastic gaming MD, my prescription here is mixed. The patient (a.k.a. the G Pro X 60) has incredible reflexes but suffers from chronic key loss syndrome. If your gaming life is purely WASD and mouse clicks, this will serve you well. But for anything outside of headshots and payload pushes, you may find yourself wondering why you voluntarily amputated part of your own input device. In gaming terms, it’s an S-tier sidearm in a game mode you barely play.
Verdict: Technically impressive, strategically questionable – good for hyper-competitive FPS junkies, probably irritating for normal humans.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is entirely my opinion.
