Quick Logitech G Pro X TKL review

When the Logitech G Pro year.

Logitech’s version of SOCD is called Key Priority and effectively allows you to create software shortcuts to handle opposing commands. When you tap the dia keys at the same time, instead of standing still, it can prioritize the last key you used, the first key you used, or a specific key each time.

This was banned in Counter-Strike 2 because it was felt to give an unfair advantage to players who did not know how to shoot effectively, which is why, in my opinion, it is not mentioned very often in the keyboard’s marketing materials.

However, there was mention of the quick trigger implementation which, along with custom actuation, adds so much to Logitech’s current offering. With the release of the Pro X Superlight 2 Dex and Logitech G Pro Lightspeed, I began to wonder what Logitech would actually add to the life of the average gamer, even if they were solid improvements. I don’t have to think about it in the case of TKL Rapid, because its advantage is practically in the name.

Starting with a quick trigger. It has long been an attractive selling point Courtshipour previous pick for the best quick trigger gaming keyboard before it is dethroned by the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3. The quick trigger allows you to adjust the sensitivity when you release the switch, which not only gives you more control over long presses but makes consistent pressing much easier faster.

If you want to stop moving a la Valorant, which punishes you for shooting while moving, this allows for the absolute fastest reaction times. This keyboard is also only wired, which makes sense since even the slightest delay could bypass the reason for getting the quick release keys in the first place.

You can also adjust the actuation, which is how deep you have to press the key to register a hit. Impressively, this can range from 0.1mm all the way down to 4.0mm, which, as it turns out, is less than I naturally hit the keys anyway. I know this because Logitech G Hub, the software for Logitech hardware, tells you how demanding you press each key when you’re in the “activation point” tab. This helps provide context about the types of activations that work for you.

Since the keys register the distance from the analog switches, you can actually set two actuation points with each key, e.g. walk by 2 mm when pressed and run when pressed by 4 mm.

You can operate quick trigger, multi-press or SOCD individually, but not at the same time.

G Pro X TKL Rapid ensures very polished typing. Lubricated switches ensure everything works with little pressure, and custom actuation points aid avoid most of these annoying errors. This is a very clamorous keyboard, much louder than the Logitech G915X Lightspeed, SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3, and other keyboards I have on hand. I quite like the clatter of it all, but in the office or with a partner who is a bit more sensitive to sound, it can soon become irritating.

The front plate of the keyboard is aluminum, which increases its durability, but that is not what causes the sound. There are also no switches, which are quite silent with the keys turned off. Something about the pressure and speed of typing makes this keyboard feel a little bumpy when the keys come down. Despite this aluminum, the back of the G Pro

The back of the keyboard is plastic, which means the aluminum on the front adds durability, and the plastic means it doesn’t feel too bulky on your desk or in your backpack. There’s also almost no flex when bent, which is something I generally wouldn’t recommend doing on a keyboard – but it’s still nice to have some confidence there.

I had the white model and honestly think it looks great on my desk. This keyboard doesn’t have a fancy screen and is a bit smaller, it lacks a numeric keypad, but it doesn’t feel like it’s seriously lacking. The fully backlit switches have individual RGB that not only allows for custom programming such as lighting animations, but also gives the whole thing a vivid glow.

Of course, if you want something less reflective, the lighting button on the top can toggle between several lighting brightnesses, and the game mode to the left of that button tactically disables the keys when you’re in the zone.

Initially, this disables the Windows key, backlight, and menu key. None of these can be enabled in game mode, even while navigating G Hub, which strikes me as a bit unnecessarily limiting. However, it’s best to cancel buttons near the ones you might be using.

I tested Deadlock, Valve’s MOBA, on this keyboard and found that getting to 1,2,3, and 4 was a pleasure after turning off 5 and r. I’m usually a little more careful about pressing the number keys in fast-paced and long-lasting games , but in game mode it feels very natural to me.

I also tested Counter-Strike 2, making sure to turn off SOCD as it could result in a ban, and that extra quick stop motion is really great. I don’t consider myself an extremely competitive player, but I do think I’m competitive enough to get some thrilling enjoyment out of a quick trigger, and that’s where it works.

In slower single-player games like Red Dead Redemption 2, there’s no real need for this technology on this keyboard and you probably won’t notice any difference, but the keys are comfortable and the dual PBT keycaps are polished and rounded towards the fingers a way that makes it quite comfortable to operate after hours of gaming.

It’s not designed for single-player gaming (and a Logitech rep told me it’s not the best choice for single-player-only gamers), but that’s not a disadvantage in any way.

However, this keyboard is not everything. In addition to the nice RGB look, it has five media controls, four of which are buttons and one is a bar to change the volume. Using G Hub, you can also set up custom controls for individual keys, making this a solid keyboard for browsing. I’ve had a lot of issues with Logitech’s G Hub software over the last few months, but for the most part it worked perfectly fine here, although we did have issues with the app in our Logitech G RS Shifter and Handbrake review.

However, it’s worth noting that all of these fancy competitive features are reflected in this price. If you’re looking for something sturdy, wired and nice, yet circumspect, there are cheaper options like the latest Corsair K70 Core and Endgame Gear KB65HE. However, if you’re a huge fan of Logitech, there are some good wireless options.

However, if you want a quick trigger analog keyboard to cut down a fraction of your reaction time and allow you to get the most stable aim in first-person shooters, this is one of the better entry points on the market. It’s nice and sturdy, feels hard-wearing enough to be thrown backwards, and the per-key RGB allows for aesthetic customization that will make the entire keyboard shine. It’s a niche piece of technology, but it’s great.
