In the fast-paced world of professional esports, where split-second decisions can make or break a match, top-tier players are constantly seeking ways to elevate their performance. The latest buzz in the esports community revolves around Logitech G’s groundbreaking PRO X 60 keyboard, tailored to meet the exacting demands of pro players.
Renowned for their insistence on the best equipment, esports athletes are gravitating towards the compact yet powerful 60 percent keyboard form factor. This preference stems from the need for ample space to execute precise mouse movements essential in high-stakes FPS competitions.
Michaela ‘mimi’ Lintrup, a member of G2 Esports competing in Valorant, expressed her admiration for the PRO X 60, praising its adaptability and portability. “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,” she remarked.
Recognising the challenges posed by smaller keyboards, Logitech G introduced a revolutionary solution with the PRO X 60 – KEYCONTROL. Brent Barry, Head of Esports and PRO Series at Logitech G, highlighted the collaborative effort with pro gamers in designing the keyboard. He emphasised the pivotal role of KEYCONTROL in providing unmatched customisation capabilities, catering to the diverse needs of elite players.
KEYCONTROL empowers gamers with unprecedented control, allowing them to assign up to 15 functions per key, ensuring essential commands are always within reach. Combined with G-SHIFT, players can access a new layer of keys swiftly, enhancing their gameplay without compromising on functionality.
Emma “Emy” Choe from FlyQuest RED, competing in CounterStrike 2, lauded the versatility of the PRO X 60. “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,” she expressed.
Moreover, the PRO X 60 boasts Logitech G’s renowned LIGHTSPEED wireless technology, ensuring a lag-free gaming experience even in crowded tournament environments. Evan “Verhulst” Verhulst from TSM highlighted the critical role of a reliable connection in competitive scenarios, citing LIGHTSPEED’s performance as a game-changer.
Featuring GX Optical switches for lightning-fast actuation and dual-shot PBT keycaps for durability, the PRO X 60 promises a seamless gaming experience. Coupled with customisable LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting and convenient media controls, it sets a new standard for professional-grade gaming peripherals.
Available for pre-order in Black, White, and Pink variants, the Logitech G PRO X 60 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Keyboard is priced at US$179 US and €229. It will hit major retailers in late April, offering esports enthusiasts a competitive edge backed by Logitech G’s commitment to excellence.
