LogitechG PRO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Ultra Portable Tenkeyless Design, Detachable Micro USB Cable, 16.8 Million Color LIGHTSYNC RGB Backlit Keys

The G PRO TKL is a solid competitive gaming keyboard with excellent build quality. The compact tenkeyless design saves desk space and is genuinely portable for tournaments or travel. The detachable cable is a smart feature - no more damaged fixed cables, and you can easily swap in a custom one.The switches (GX Blue in my case) feel consistent and responsive with good tactile feedback. No key wobble or stabilizer rattle issues that you sometimes find in gaming keyboards. The RGB lighting is bright and even across all keys, with good customization options through the G HUB software.Some practical notes: The plain black design keeps it professional-looking despite the RGB. The keycaps are decent quality but not exceptional - they'll show shine over time like most ABS caps. The removable cable connection is secure - no disconnects during intense gaming sessions.Minor gripes: The USB connection could be recessed a bit more to better protect the port, and the included cable is somewhat stiff. The media controls being function-layer only takes some getting used to if you're coming from a full-size board. The wrist rest is sold separately, which feels a bit stingy at this price point. Software is feature-rich but can be finicky with updates sometimes.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The X version of this keyboard is aesthetically pleasing. I like how the keys light, being bright and clear with rich coloration. The keys markings are well shown without distracting side glitter/glow (e.g. Roccat Vulcan). I also like the cord, it is braided and more flexible than the non-X version. I am impartial to the Shroud decorative theme, fortunately it's not too prominent.I can't say that the keyboard has faster response time than some others (maybe) but what I can say is that subjectively, it feels good to use. It feels natural and never like an obstacle, it seems to help me get better game scores. I like the TKL format, it seems fine for use as a normal keyboard (productivity).While it's a personal matter, I like the linear keys on the G Pro X/Shroud version much better than the standard version; these have a much better feel and better sound. The keys are still a bit clicky but much smoother sounding than the browns or blues. This is something you can't evaluate by looking at a web page.I like the on-board profiles. You can setup your preferred key lighting, store into the default on-board profile and it will be remembered and show up on *any* computer that the keyboard is plugged into (without requiring any special software). However, for this to work, you have to store into the default profile. There is no published way to cycle between saved profiles without the support software which is quite lame.I REALLY dislike the G-HUB software -- it's a complicated mess. For me, the only thing that G-Hub has going for it is that the fonts are bigger and the menu is resizable. Fortunately, the Logitech Gaming Software is still available, much less fiddly and much more intuitive. Perhaps in some minor ways the Logitech Gaming Software is less functional (hard to say), but it gets the setup job done much more easily than G-Hub. I may try the G-HUB software again in future since it can possibly be improved (though probably it cant get worse).

I work from home 24/7 so this is a lifeline. It does what it’s supposed to do. Logitech always produces great products. I’ve had this for maybe a year and all of the keys are still intact and they aren’t faded, even after furiously typing all day.If you are looking for a gaming keyboard this is also a great choice. It provides great response. It’s much shorter than a standard keyboard and would fit into a backpack easily. It’s not too heavy if you had to travel with it.I honestly wish it were wireless, however, the power chord it comes with is very thin, you hardly notice it after a while.If you are looking for a solid keyboard that won’t break the bank this will get you what you need.
