The Logitech G PRO X Keyboard is a TenKeyLess (80%) gaming keyboard that's the successor to the Logitech G PRO Keyboard. It's nearly identical to the previous version, but this newer version now has a hot-swappable printed circuit board (PCB), so you can swap out the stock switches easily. Otherwise, it's a straightforward unit that offers outstanding gaming performance without many extra features.
Our Verdict
The Logitech G PRO X Keyboard is an incredible gaming keyboard. It feels pretty well-built and has exceptionally low latency. The stock GX Red Linear switches are great for gaming as they have a short pre-travel distance and light actuation force, but if you'd prefer a different switch, you can easily swap them out thanks to the hot-swappable circuit board. The G HUB software allows for a good degree of customization, but macro programming is limited to the function row, and the RGB backlighting doesn't have brightness settings. Also, as it lacks an included wrist rest, the keyboard can feel uncomfortable after a period of long use.

Also, it feels pretty well-built, and its companion software is available for both Windows and macOS, meaning you can make changes regardless of your operating system.

The Logitech G PRO X Keyboard is a decent keyboard for programming. It feels fairly well-built, and its companion software is compatible with Windows and macOS, so you can easily make changes regardless of your operating system. Unfortunately, the customization options are a limited as you can only program macros to the function row and the RGB backlighting lacks brightness sliders. As its a wired-only unit, it isn't suitable for use in a multi-device setup. Plus, its ergonomics are only alright as it has a thick profile and doesn't include a wrist rest for added support.

Popular Keyboard Comparisons
The Logitech G PRO X Keyboard is the latest release in the Logitech G PRO series of keyboards. It's nearly identical to its predecessor as it looks the same, uses the same GX switches, and offers the same features. Against the slew of gaming keyboards, this one doesn't stand out as it doesn't offer much to gamers other than low latency and the ability to swap out the stock switches for any other 3-pin switch. It's a straightforward unit that's great for a newbie gamer or someone looking for a standard gaming keyboard, though a hobbyist who has tried a few different keyboards won't be impressed by the Micro-USB connection and cheap ABS keycaps.
