The Logitech G PRO X TKL is a TenKeyLess wireless gaming keyboard that continues Logitech's G PRO lineup. This is the first entry in the lineup that offers wireless connectivity, either via Bluetooth or Logitech's LIGHTSPEED receiver. You can buy this keyboard in one of three colorways with Tactile, Clicky, or Linear mechanical switch options. Using Logitech's G-HUB configuration software, you can customize several settings, including button assignments, custom macros, and RGB backlighting.

Our Verdict

8.3
Gaming 

The Logitech G PRO X TKL is an impressive gaming keyboard. It has good build quality and excellent all-around latency performance, making it well-suited for gaming in any genre at any competitive level. It also has full RGB backlighting that you can customize along with other settings using the companion software. Unfortunately, it has a fairly high profile, which can tire out your wrists during long gaming sessions if you aren't using a wrist rest.

Pros
  • Good build quality.
  • Excellent latency performance.
  • 1000Hz effective update rate.
Cons
  • Limited customizability; no hot-swappable PCB.
7.2
Office 

The Logitech G PRO X TKL is decent for office use. It has good overall build quality, is reasonably quiet with the GX Brown Tactile or GX Red Linear switch options, and connects wirelessly via Bluetooth or its included USB receiver. Unfortunately, it doesn't support multi-device pairing. This keyboard has a high profile, so it's most comfortable to use with a wrist rest, especially if you're typing for longer stretches.

Pros
  • Good build quality.
  • Connects wirelessly via Bluetooth or a 2.4Ghz receiver.
Cons
  • Limited customizability; no hot-swappable PCB.
  • Underwhelming typing quality compared to competing options.
6.2
Mobile/Tablet 

While not designed specifically for this use, The Logitech G PRO X TKL is passable for mobile devices and tablets. It has good build quality, and you can connect it wirelessly via Bluetooth. Unfortunately, it doesn't support multi-device pairing, and it's fairly tall and bulky despite its TKL form factor, so it isn't very portable or easy to slide into bags or laptop cases.

Pros
  • Good build quality.
  • Connects wirelessly via Bluetooth or a 2.4Ghz receiver.
Cons
  • Underwhelming typing quality compared to competing options.
  • No compatible software option for mobile operating systems.
7.1
Programming 

The Logitech G PRO X TKL is satisfactory for programming. It has good overall build quality and full RGB backlighting with shine-through keycaps, making the legends easy to read in darker rooms. You can connect this keyboard wirelessly via its USB receiver or Bluetooth. Unfortunately, it doesn't support multi-device pairing. While you can program macros to any key using the configuration software, there aren't any dedicated macro keys, and you can't program macros directly on the keyboard using hotkeys alone.

Pros
  • Good build quality.
  • Connects wirelessly via Bluetooth or a 2.4Ghz receiver.
  • Full RGB backlighting with individually-lit keys.
Cons
  • Limited customizability; no hot-swappable PCB.
  • Underwhelming typing quality compared to competing options.
  • No dedicated macro keys.
6.8
Entertainment / HTPC 

The Logitech G PRO X TKL is adequate for entertainment or home theater PC setups. It has good build quality and connects wirelessly via Bluetooth or its USB receiver. It also has dedicated media controls and full RGB backlighting with individually backlit keys and shine-through keycaps, so you can clearly see legends in darker rooms. It's somewhat heavy and bulky and designed to be used in a static desktop setup rather than from a couch.

Pros
  • Connects wirelessly via Bluetooth or a 2.4Ghz receiver.
  • Full RGB backlighting with individually-lit keys.
Cons
  • Fairly heavy and bulky considering its TenKeyLess form factor.
8.4
Raw Performance 

The Logitech G PRO X TKL offers impressive raw performance with outstanding single-key and excellent multi-key latency. It takes full advantage of its 1000Hz polling rate without being bottlenecked by other latency components and supports full N-Key Rollover. Unfortunately, it lacks chord-split performance, which is an issue if you play rhythm games requiring multiple simultaneous inputs.

Pros
  • Excellent latency performance.
Cons

    Popular Keyboard Comparisons

    The Logitech G PRO X TKL LIGHTSPEED maintains similar features and gaming performance to its predecessor, the Logitech G PRO X Keyboard, while introducing wireless connectivity options. You can connect the Logitech G PRO X TKL either through power-efficient Bluetooth or a 2.4 GHz connection using Logitech's proprietary LIGHTSPEED receiver, which is also compatible with Logitech's G-Series gaming mice. However, it's important to note that, unlike its predecessor, the Logitech G PRO X TKL lacks a hot-swappable PCB. This limitation restricts your switch choices to the stock Tactile, Clicky, and Linear GX mechanical switches unless you're interested in soldering in new switches.

    Furthermore, in addition to lacking hot-swappable switches, this keyboard doesn't come with factory-lubed switches, internal sound-dampening materials, or other typing quality features commonly found in many recent gaming models from other manufacturers. Altogether, this keyboard introduces solid wireless performance to the popular G PRO X lineup but offers little else to make it a compelling option compared to other gaming keyboards in this price range.

    Logitech G715

    The Logitech G715 and the Logitech G PRO X TKL are wireless gaming keyboards with TenKeyLess form factors and very similar gaming performance. The G715 has a somewhat sturdier build quality and better backlight clarity. However, it's only available in a white colorway. On the other hand, Logitech G PRO X TKL is available in three color options.

    Logitech G915 X LIGHTSPEED

    The Logitech G PRO X TKL and the Logitech G915 X LIGHTSPEED are mechanical gaming keyboards with comparable raw performance with a few standout differences. The G915 X is a wireless, low-profile model with a full-size layout, while the G PRO X TKL is a wired-only model with a taller, standard profile and a more compact tenkeyless form factor.

    Logitech G PRO X TKL RAPID

    The Logitech G PRO X TKL and the Logitech G PRO X TKL RAPID are gaming keyboards in the same wider lineup. The two boards are very similar in most respects with two major differences: the G PRO X TKL is a wireless model that uses standard mechanical switches, while the G PRO X TKL RAPID is a wired-only model with analog switches. These analog switches allow you to customize the actuation distance of individual keys and enable more advanced analog features such as Rapid Trigger, using the configuration software.

    Logitech G515 LIGHTSPEED TKL

    The Logitech G PRO X TKL and the Logitech G515 LIGHTSPEED TKL are similar wireless gaming keyboards with comparable performance and TenKeyLess form factors. The standout difference is that the G PRO X TKL is a standard, high-profile design and uses GX mechanical switches. The G515 LIGHTSPEED TKL, on the other hand, is a low-profile keyboard that uses GL low-profile mechanical switches. It provides a slightly better typing experience with better factory lubing on switches and stabilizers. It also has more acoustic material inside the case, making it considerably quieter.

    Build Quality
    Keycap MaterialPBT

    The Logitech G PRO X TKL has good overall build quality. It has a plastic bottom case and a visible metal top plate that holds the switches in place. There's a minimal amount of deck flexibility, but It makes minor creaking sounds when flexed. It's somewhat less flexible than its predecessor, the Logitech G PRO X Keyboard.

    The keycaps are made of high-quality doubleshot PBT plastic. They feel very sturdy and have a textured finish. The stabilizers do a reasonable job of keeping larger keys from wobbling. Unfortunately, larger keys make a faint rattling sound, most notably, the Spacebar.

    The keyboard is fairly stable while typing but slides around a bit if you nudge it with moderate force, especially if you have the flip-out incline feet extended to the maximum incline setting.

    Typing Quality
    Key Spacing
    19.0 mm (0.748")

    This keyboard offers good typing quality. The PBT plastic keycaps have a pleasant textured finish, and all alphanumeric keys are fairly stable. Larger keys with stabilizers are somewhat wobbly, but this isn't very noticeable while typing. They also feel somewhat under-lubed, with larger keys like the Spacebar and Shift keys being slightly rattly. The GX Brown Tactile switches on the unit we bought provide satisfying tactile feedback but are somewhat scratchy-feeling.

    No

    With GX Brown Tactile switches, this keyboard has satisfactory typing noise and doesn't make any distracting high-pitch clicking noises while typing.

    If you buy this keyboard with GX Red Linear switches, we expect it to be slightly quieter. If you buy this keyboard with Blue Clicky switches, we expect it to be considerably louder with high-pitched clicks that are likely too disruptive for noise-sensitive environments like open office spaces.

    This keyboard delivers excellent data transmission performance. It supports full N-key rollover out of the box and maintains an effective 1000Hz update rate, ensuring no bottlenecks with its 1000Hz polling rate.

    During testing, we found that this keyboard doesn't send multiple key inputs per USB report—an unexpected limitation, as similar Logitech models like the Logitech G PRO X 60 and Logitech G PRO X TKL RAPID do support this. To verify our findings, we retested the data transmission performance of all three models and confirmed the results. The reason for this difference remains unclear, but it's a minor quirk with negligible impact on performance.

    This keyboard provides decent overall chord split performance. It's roughly on par with other wireless gaming keyboards, with satisfactory 4-chord and 8-chord split. It isn't nearly as well-suited as most wired gaming keyboards for playing rhythm games that require multiple simultaneous inputs.

    This keyboard uses Logitech's G HUB software for configuration. The software is straightforward and fairly intuitive. It allows you to adjust expected settings, including key mapping, RGB lighting, and custom profiles.

    This keyboard allows you to create multiple custom profiles, and you can save a single profile to the onboard memory. Note that the On-Board Memory Mode needs to be off to create your custom profile. Once you have your desired settings configured, you can enable the On Board Memory Mode to use your saved profile without the software running in the background.

    Similar to the software options from other major manufacturers, this software receives criticism for requiring frequent updates and taking up disproportionate system resources. There weren't any software issues present during testing, but you may find this software frustrating if you prefer more lightweight software options or no software at all.
