The Logitech Pro X 60 Review: A Compact Gaming Keyboard With a Premium Price Tag
The Logitech Pro X 60 is a good compact gaming keyboard for those who want to ditch the cord, but we expect a bit more to warrant the premium price.
Design: Compact, But Not Without Flaws
The Logitech Pro X 60 is the company's first foray into the 60% keyboard market, and it's clear that they have put a lot of thought into its design. Measuring at just 11.4 by 4.1 by 1.5 inches, it takes up very little space on your desk, making it perfect for gamers who value portability and reclaimed desk space. The keyboard is available in black, magenta, or white, with a sleek and minimalist design that will look good on any desk.
However, the keyboard's compact size does come with some downsides. The adjustable feet do not offer much tilt or height, making it less comfortable for long-term typing. And without a wrist rest, it may not be the best choice for those with wrist issues. But on the bright side, the keyboard does come with a carrying case for easy transport, and the bottom has a space to hide the Lightspeed USB receiver when not in use.

Features: New Keys and Wireless Connectivity
The Logitech Pro X 60 boasts new optical switches, the GX optical tactile and GX optical linear switches. These offer a satisfying click, but some users may experience key wobbling. The keyboard also has customizable per-key RGB lighting, a Game Mode button, and a volume roller. It also has both 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth connectivity options, making it convenient for different setups.
The keyboard's software, Logitech G Hub, allows for customization of RGB lighting, commands, and macros. It also has a Game Mode setting for competitive play, disabling buttons that could be accidentally pressed during a match. The software has a bit of a learning curve, but it is well-designed and integrates with popular streaming apps like Discord and OBS.
Performance: Fast and Responsive
The Pro X 60's Lightspeed USB receiver promises low latency and reliable performance, with a 1-millisecond report rate. While we can't confirm its performance in an esports competition, we didn't experience any major issues while typing or gaming with the keyboard. However, some users have reported chattering keys, which can be a nuisance.
Verdict: A Good, But Pricey Option
The Logitech Pro X 60 is a solid compact gaming keyboard with its wireless connectivity and customizable features. However, with a price tag of $180, it may be a tough sell for some. Other 60% keyboards on the market offer similar features at a lower price point. But if you value Logitech's brand and are willing to pay for a wireless option, the Pro X 60 may be worth considering.
