Logitech Pro X 60: Two-minute review

The Logitech Pro X 60 is a compact wireless gaming keyboard featuring Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connectivity, employing the brand’s Lightspeed standard for improved gaming performance.

Its no-thrills appearance makes it suitable for any setting, although the magenta variant adds a lot more vibrancy if that’s what you’re after. It’s also small and light enough to fit easily into any setup.

What’s more, the build quality is excellent. Despite its lightness, it still feels solid and is put together as well as the best gaming keyboards. The various buttons and folding feet also seem durable and engineered to a high standard, while the double-shot PBT keycaps feel as premium as you would expect.

Despite the compromised layout, the Pro X 60 still manages to include a volume wheel, positioned on the left side of the chassis and within comfortable reach of the middle fingers, although it’s a shame it has no click-to-mute function. There are also two buttons on the rear for hot-swapping between devices connected via Bluetooth and the 2.4GHz dongle.

There are a good number of FN shortcuts available on the Pro X 60, too. However, even more customizations and shortcut options are possible with Logitech’s G Hub software. Numerous binding layers are available, and you’ll find an impressive number of system commands and media functions to map, and even the ability to assign mouse inputs.

There are also shortcuts for actions specific to certain applications, such as Streamlabs, OBS, and Discord. Key combinations with modifiers can also be bound, as can five inputs to a single key. As is customary for gaming peripheral software, G Hub also offers macro creation and RGB tweaking.

When gaming, the Pro X 60 performs admirably. Despite using optical switches, it feels more like a mechanical keyboard, with snappy and responsive inputs. It isn’t as damped as others, but I still found the tactile switches in my unit a pleasure to use. Typing is equally satisfying, although the lack of wrist support does become more of a problem in this instance, given the steep angle created by the thick chassis.

Connectivity via both wireless standards is good, and hot-switching between devices is quick and easy. Battery life is decent too, although charging is a little on the slower side.

The Pro X 60 is an expensive keyboard, especially for one with optical switches and a 60% layout. It does perform well, but there’s plenty of competition at this price point: for not much more, you could get the SteelSeries Apex Pro, which offers tremendous analog switches, although it’s wired only. And if you really want to save money, the Keychron C3 Pro is one of the best budget keyboards around.

Logitech Pro X 60 review: price and availability

• $179.99 / £179.99 / AU$399.95
• Available now in multiple colorways
• Expensive for its form factor

The Pro X 60 costs $179.99 / £179.99 / AU$399.95 and is available now in black, white, and magenta colorways. It comes with a USB cable and an extension adapter for the USB dongle, as well as a spare Escape key and a carrying case.

For a 60% keyboard, the Pro X 60 is certainly expensive. It’s not far behind the price of the SteelSeries Apex Pro, which is one of the best analog keyboards I’ve tried. As such, it also features a vast amount of tweaking options to get the set up just so. However, it’s wired only, and while a wireless variant is available, that’s more expensive.

If you want something decidedly more budget-friendly, then the Keychron C3 Pro is about the best keyboard for those looking for a cheap, compact companion. We found it performed well, even for gaming, although it might not satisfy more serious players.

Logitech Pro X 60 review: design and features

• Good build quality
• No wrist support
• G Hub software is versatile

The Pro X 60 cuts a sleek and elegant figure, with its floating key design, which I’m usually a fan of. It has a rather muted appearance for a gaming peripheral – although the magenta colorway certainly makes it more vibrant, as does the RGB lightning.

Since it has a 60% layout, the Pro X 60 is small and compact, with a light weight as well. The feet are a little on the shallow side, as they only raise the board by eight degrees. Still, I found this just enough to get a comfortable position.

However, no wrist rest is included, and despite finding it more comfortable than other rest-less gaming keyboards, after longer sessions the Pro X 60 can get uncomfortable, especially when typing.

There are two convenient buttons on the back to quickly switch between wireless modes, and a small volume wheel is located on the left side, which saves space and is easy to use while in the WASD position. It’s a shame, though, that this wheel has no click function for muting – this is instead handled via an FN shortcut.

All aspects of the Pro X 60 feel premium, from the chassis to the double-shot PBT keycaps, which have a subtle texture while still being smooth to the touch. They’re quite thick and have a small indentation.

Despite the lack of keys, the Pro X 60 does a good job of including numerous FN shortcuts. These are clearly marked on the keys that have this function, although it’s a pity that the RGB lighting doesn’t illuminate them, so you’ll need a good memory if you’re using the Pro X 60 in the dark.

Logitech also allows for extra layers of customization via its G-Shift functionality and the custom assignment button, which is mapped to FN+A by default. Using the G Hub software, you’ll be able to rebind keys to a wealth of system commands, including audio output cycling and other media controls, as well as mouse inputs. You can also assign key combinations involving modifier keys, and assign up to five binds to a single key.

G Hub also provides shortcuts for specific functions in Overwolf, Streamlabs, Discord, and OBS. The obligatory RGB customizations and macro creation sections are also present. The interface is clear and easy to navigate, with handy explanations provided for various settings. G Hub also runs stably for the most part, although it can be a tad sluggish at times.

Logitech Pro X 60 review: performance

• Snappy, fast switches
• Feels mechanical
• Fast connectivity switching

The Pro X 60 performs well when it comes to the business of gaming. The tactile switches feel just as snappy as some of the best mechanical keyboards – despite being optical – yet they’re not too light to allow for mispresses. They’re quick to rebound too, allowing for rapid inputs. However, those who like a good amount of dampening probably won’t be too keen on the feel of the Pro X 60, as they’re more clicky than cushioned.

The space bar, though, is more damped with a smoother actuation, yet is even more springy than the other keys, which again helps quick, successive inputs. However, due to its angle, which slopes away from the user, I occasionally hit it with the edge of my thumb rather than flush. The other keys on the bottom row follow the same trajectory, but I didn’t experience any issue with these and were easy to hit comfortably.

Even though the aforementioned FN shortcuts are impressive in their scope, the positioning of the arrow key shortcuts could be better. They’re on the same side as the FN key itself, which means the combination of all keys involved has to be done on one hand, which I found awkward and unintuitive. The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini, for instance, places its arrow key shortcuts on the WASD keys, which makes more sense. However, you can of course remap the arrow key shortcuts to other keys if you wish, so the inconvenience isn’t that great.

I also found the Pro X 60 good for typing, as that tactility and bounce provides plenty of feedback while being easy to use. The shallow indentations of the keycaps makes them amenable to gliding, too. What’s more, since the actuation point isn’t too high, I didn’t make many typos, at least compared to similar keyboards I’ve tried. As someone who generally prefers low profile, laptop-style keys for productivity, I was surprised how well I got on with the Pro X 60 in this regard.

I experienced no issues with connectivity during my time with the Pro X 60, and switching between 2.4GHz and Bluetooth devices was fast and easy. After several days of varied use, the battery dipped by about 10%, which seems roughly in line with Logitech’s 65-hour claim. Charging it from half to full capacity took about three hours, which isn’t especially quick, but it suffices.

Performance: 4 / 5

How I tested the Logitech Pro X 60

• Tested for several days
• Varied usage
• Plentiful gaming experience

I tested the Pro X 60 for several days, during which time I used it for gaming, working, and general browsing. I used both the 2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth to connect to two different PCs.

I played games such as Counter-Strike 2, which is a great test for peripherals given the demands it places on accuracy and responsiveness. I also played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 : Heart of Chornobyl, which similarly tests these aspects, but requires a broader usage of keys.

I have been PC gaming for over a decade, and have experienced a good deal of keyboards in that time. I have also reviewed numerous examples, ranging in their form factor, switch type, and price.

Logitech Pro X TKL Rapid: one-minute review

The Logitech Pro X TKL Rapid is a compact wired gaming keyboard with analog switches for greater precision and versatility when it comes to tweaking performance.

It looks like a fairly typical keyboard, lacking the pomp and ceremony of some of the more extravagant gaming peripherals out there, although the RGB lighting does make it stand out more, as do the white and pink colorways.

In terms of build quality, the Pro X TKL Rapid is level with what the best gaming keyboards offer. It has a thick yet sleek form, with enough heft to make itself known without being onerous. All the materials feel premium too, especially the keycaps, which have just enough texture to make them tactile.

There are a few extra media and other buttons at the very top, and a volume wheel that’s smooth and easy to use in the heat of the moment, thanks to its long, cylindrical shape. It’s a minor shame that it has no click-to-mute functionality, though.

The Pro X TKL Rapid can be customized using Logitech’s G HUB software, which offers plenty in the way of rebinding options, and also features the obligatory macro creation and RGB tweaking.

There are also plenty of actuation adjustments available, some of which are more involved than I’ve ever seen before. A real-time visual indicator is provided for general actuation, although such feedback is sadly absent when setting up Rapid Trigger, Multi-action, and Key Priority functions – and where it’s perhaps needed most.

To game with, the Pro X TKL Rapid offers the snappy performance you would expect from analog switches. However, I did find it a little too difficult to hit certain actuation points accurately and consistently, which is a problem if you have multiple inputs assigned to a single key.

I also found typing uncomfortable, owing to a combination of the thick keys and a lack of wrist support. Those who are used to thicker keycaps for typing may find them easier to live with, though.

For the price, the Pro X TKL Rapid represents good value compared to many analog keyboards. However, the Razer Huntsman V2 Analog is cheaper, and we still think it’s the best gaming keyboard around. So despite being a capable analog keyboard, the Pro X TKL Rapid doesn’t quite reach the heights of some of its key rivals.

Logitech Pro X TKL Rapid review: price and availability

• $169.99 / £169.99 / AU$329.95
• Available now in three colorways
• Cheaper than some analog rivals

The Pro X TKL Rapid costs $169.99 / £169.99 / AU$329.95 and is available now in three colorways: black, white, and pink. It comes with a detachable USB-C-to-A cable, although it’s wired-only, with no wireless alternative available.

This is a good price for a wired analog keyboard. It’s cheaper than the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL, for instance, although I personally found that board offered better precision, and I could find little wrong with it in terms of performance or design. It also comes with a wrist rest, which the Pro X TKL Rapid doesn’t, although this is perhaps its weakest aspect.

However, there’s also the Razer Huntsman V2 Analog TKL, whose full-size counterpart we still think is the best keyboard for gaming. This smaller variant is cheaper than the Pro X TKL Rapid, yet offers incredible performance, customization, and design.

Value: 3.5 / 5

Logitech Pro X TKL Rapid review: design and features

• Muted looks
• Premium build quality
• Useful analog tweaks

The Pro X TKL Rapid looks fairly typical for a Logitech gaming peripheral, with a subdued aesthetic that will fit in any setup or situation. However, the white and pink colorways add more vibrancy. Meanwhile, its body is thick but not to the extent of some other boards, and quite weighty without being the heaviest around. The compact layout and floating keys also help to make it appear more sleek than it otherwise would be.

In line with Logitech’s other peripherals, the Pro X TKL Rapid is very well made, with a premium plastic chassis and superb-feeling keycaps that are silky smooth with just enough texture to offer some tactility. Overall, the Pro X TKL Rapid is certainly up there with the best gaming keyboards in terms of build quality.

Its keycaps are also quite thick and have a small indentation. The layout is compact without being cramped, and there’s a very slight dip in the middle to aid with ergonomics. The overall tilt of the keys can be increased using the two-stage feet, which offer four-degree and eight-degree angles.

A handful of media keys adorn the top of the Pro X TKL Rapid, alongside a button for toggling RGB lighting brightness levels and a Game Mode button for disabling keys of your choosing while gaming, with the Windows key deactivated by default.

There’s also a volume wheel in the top right corner, that takes the form of a long, cylindrical roller you scroll up and down on, which gives it a smooth operation and makes it easier to utilize than a laterally rotating dial. It’s a shame, however, that there’s no click-to-mute function, although this is handled by one of the media buttons instead.

The Pro X TKL Rapid can be customized using Logitech’s G HUB peripheral software. Here you’ll find the usual gaming keyboard customization options, including RGB customization, macro creation, and key remapping.

On the latter front, there are a large number of system functions you can assign, including audio input and output cycling and opening certain Windows apps, such as Task Manager and File Explorer. Mouse buttons can also be mapped (although cursor movements can’t), and there are specific shortcut actions for Overwolf, Streamlabs Desktop, Discord, and OBS.

Fn and G-Shift layers are available for rebinding, in addition to a custom assignment shortcut (by default mapped to fn+F1) that can be used to toggle your rebinds on or off.

Since the Pro X TKL Rapid has analog switches, there are various actuation adjustments at your disposal in G HUB, too. You can adjust the overall actuation point of keys between 0.1 and 4mm, as well as toggle a Rapid Trigger function to alter their reset point between 0.1 and 2mm.

There’s also a Multi-action feature that lets you assign two inputs to a single key – which isn’t to be confused with the Multiple Commands feature, which lets you assign up to five inputs to a single key, depending on whether you press, hold, or release the key in question. With Multi-action, each input is triggered at two independent, customizable actuation points. However, only keys and modifiers can be selected for Multi-action, with system functions, macros and the like excluded, which is a shame.

Another analog feature is Key Priority, which lets you decide which of any two keys takes registration precedence when pressed at the same time (beware, though, that this function is banned in certain games, such as Counter-Strike 2).

This mode has settings more in-depth than I’ve seen before in analog keyboard software. You can choose which one always has priority, or prioritize whichever is pressed furthest pressed or pressed last. There’s also a neutral mode, which prevents either key from registering if they’re both pressed, as well as a toggle that allows for both to register as normal when fully pressed simultaneously.

It’s a shame, however, that there’s no controller emulation option, as some other analog keyboards provide. And although there’s an animation conveying real-time actuation in the main menu, none is provided when setting up Multi-action, Rapid Trigger, or Key Priority, which is a real shame since this would provide some much needed visual feedback for the adjustments you make.

These omissions aside, G HUB is hard to fault in terms of usability, with its clear layout making for easy navigation. It was also quite stable in my experience; there were a few occasions where it felt a little sluggish, but not disruptively so. Useful explanations are also provided for most of the analog adjustments, along with guides for these and the remapping functionality in the settings menu.

Design & features: 4 / 5

Logitech Pro X TKL Rapid review: performance

• Satisfying key strokes
• Overly sensitive analog switches
• Uncomfortable typing

The gaming performance of the Pro X TKL Rapid is good for the most part. The keys feel great to press, offering a smooth operation with a satisfying thock, although this isn’t as pronounced as that of the best mechanical keyboards. I still found them pleasurable to use, though.

Their slight indentation also helped my fingers to stay secure, while the angled layout made it comfortable to access the salient keys, including the bottom row as that can sometimes be a problem area for gaming keyboards. I do wish, however, that the feet offered a more acute angle, which would’ve made access even easier and more comfortable.

Since the Pro X TKL Rapid has analog switches, the Pro X TKL Rapid is capable of offering extremely snappy performance, too. However, I found that no matter what actuation point I set, the switches were always a little too sensitive. This makes it harder to hit certain actuation points, which is especially a problem if you have Multi-action inputs set up.

That aforementioned thickness also created an issue, especially when typing, as I had to adopt a more unnatural wrist angle and once more the feet didn’t provide a sufficient angle to remedy this. What the Pro X TKL Rapid really needs is a wrist rest, but unfortunately one isn't included.

The thick keycaps didn’t help either, although I’m someone who usually prefers low profile, laptop-style keys for productivity purposes, so other users may not have an issue with these.

Performance: 3.5 / 5

Satechi SM3: Two-minute review

Satechi has been making Apple-esque accessories for a few years now, with keyboards, mice, charging docks and more on its roster. But in all that time, it’s never made a mechanical keyboard – until the SM3 came along.

Satechi has opted to kick off its mechanical range with a full-size board that features a numpad on its right-hand edge. It looks great and will fit in neatly with your Apple devices, but it also works perfectly well with Windows PCs.

The key switches feel a little heavy and there’s only one switch choice. Satechi has opted for its own proprietary switch, making it harder to know how the board will feel before you buy. That holds it back, and we’d prefer more choice here. Looking beyond that, it’s got plenty of connectivity options, making it well suited to people who find themselves typing on different devices during the day.

Satechi SM3: Price & availability

• How much does it cost? $119.99 (about £93 / $190 AUD)
• When is it available? Available now
• Where can you get it? Available globally

The Satechi SM3 costs $119.99, which is about £93 or $190 AUD. That’s not an outrageous price to pay, especially for a full-length board.

Satechi SM3: Design

The SM3 is Satechi’s first full-length, 108-character keyboard. That means it comes with a numpad on the right-hand side, along with a couple of bonus keys for connecting the device to Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, or over a cable.

My review unit came in a simple, attractive gray and white colorway, but there’s also a darker version available. Both come with 14 different backlighting patterns (some of which are a touch distracting) but it only shines in white – there’s no RGB here. That white backlighting was often hard to see in daylight against the white keycaps, making discerning keys with a quick glance trickier than it should have been. There was no issue in low light, though.

This is a slimline keyboard with low-profile keycaps (there are a few spare Windows ones in the box), and that helps it fit neatly into a bag on your travels, provided your backpack can accommodate the keyboard’s full-size length. The keycaps are removable, but any replacements need to fit Satechi’s proprietary switch stems (more on that later).

The SM3 is also impressively lightweight for a large keyboard, weighing in at 1.42lbs (648g) on my scales. For comparison, my Keychron K8 – with its smaller tenkeyless design – weighs 1.96lbs (889g). The Satechi SM3 comes with an aluminum top and sides, while the underneath is made from sturdy plastic.

Around the back are two pop-out feet to prop the board up. Although there are two height options here, they’re both at a fairly shallow angle. It would have been good to have an option for a higher incline. There’s also no wrist rest, but that’s not a huge problem.

Satechi SM3: Performance

The Satechi SM3 is a mechanical keyboard, but it only comes with one switch: a proprietary brown tactile option. It’s a little heavy and sluggish in use, and after a few days I noticed some finger fatigue from having to press harder than I’m used to. A more lightweight configuration would have been welcome. The switches are not hot-swappable, either, so if they don’t feel right to you, you’re stuck with them.

This is definitely not a gaming keyboard, but it’s surprisingly viable for this usage. I played a range of titles, including fast-paced shooters and much more sedate games, and in both cases the keyboard stood up reasonably well. You won’t find any gamer-specific features, but the low-profile keycaps were easy to find by touch in the heat of battle. The main issue is the board’s length, and I found my mouse hitting the edge of the numpad at times.

I did have occasional issues with certain keys not registering when pressed, and this seemed to mainly affect the space bar and left Shift key. There were no issues with ghosting in my testing, though.

You can connect the SM3 to two devices over Bluetooth, one using the 2.4GHz receiver, and one with the included USB-C cable. Switching over Bluetooth takes about a second and just requires you to press a single button on the keyboard. You can also change layouts between Windows and macOS, and the keys to do this have “Mac” or “Win” helpfully printed on their keycaps.

Disappointingly, there’s no companion app to assign macros and reassign keys, and the SM3 is not compatible with QMK or VIA.

Corsair K70 Pro TKL: Two-minute review

Corsair is no stranger to the world of PC peripherals. Some of my favorite stock gaming keyboards, like the K100 Air, fly Corsair sails. So it's no surprise that the Corsair K70 Pro TKL comes with a certain air of polish and and premium feel that other boards strive to replicate but ultimately can't nail down.

However, this keyboard won't be making its way into my daily-driver arsenal, and it's for two main reasons: no hot-swap support, and a sharp, noisy typing sound.

If this keyboard's pre-lubed Hall effect magnetic switches were hot-swappable, it would solve both issues at once; I'd be able to change up the sound and feel at the pull of a switch.

But not everyone wants to buy and apply all new sets of switches and keycaps. Many gamers just want to take a keyboard out of the box, have it give them an edge over the competition, and look good doing it. The K70 Pro TKL is a fantastic option in that regard.

And, with Corsair's iCUE software, you do have quite a few options for customization when it comes to actuation, RGB lighting, macros, and more. Plus, it's actually pretty intuitive to use, which is more than can be said for most peripheral software.

If you prefer the freedom and safety of full customization, this isn't the board for you. I'd opt for something like the Keychron Q6 Max instead, which, despite its higher price point, offers the ability to repair a switch when it breaks rather than purchasing a whole new keyboard or breaking out a soldering iron. This doesn't give you the performance of Hall effect switches, but honestly, unless you're at the summit of competitive gaming, you're probably not going to notice a discernable difference.

But, if you want to plug and play with some of the best performance and features of any keyboard on the block, the Corsair K70 Pro TKL is your chance.

Corsair K70 Pro TKL: Price & Availability

• How much does it cost? $179.99 / £169.99
• When is it available? Available now
• Where can you get it? Available in the US and UK

The price may be a bit hard to swallow at first glance - $180 for a keyboard definitely isn't cheap. But when you compare it to the best gaming keyboards on the market, that price really isn't too far off (in fact it's more affordable than many premium gaming keyboards).

There are two customization options you have before purchasing: choosing between Black and White colorways and selecting either ABS or PBT double-shot keycaps.

ABS keycaps are generally a bit cheaper to produce but the legends aren't as clear and may degrade over time more easily. PBT, which comes with a $10 upcharge, solves those issues.

Corsair K70 Pro TKL: Design

This Corsair board has a lot going for it in terms of design. My review unit came in the black colorway, and you can't get much more classic than that. It provides a nice contrast to the RGB lighting, which I'll touch on more later in this section.

Back to the chassis for now though. It's an interesting mix of plastic - which covers the outside of the keyboard - and an aluminum top plate that gives this TKL keyboard a satisfying blend of lightweight portability and hearty structural integrity.

Underneath that top plate is a sound-dampening layer of silicone, followed by the premium Hall-effect-ready PCB, and then another layer of silicone to keep things quiet.

Unfortunately, I can't say these silicone layers accomplish a whole lot. One of my main gripes with this keyboard is the loud, harsh clacking and pinging sounds as you type.

For some people, this won't matter at all because it's all about features and efficiency. For the mechanical keyboard geeks out there who love to crack open a shell and start stuffing tape and foam inside to get that perfect sound (looking at you, me) you'll probably pass in favor of something more customizable.

Similarly, this board is only available in a USB-C wired version - which won't matter for some and will make a world of difference for others.

Onto the stabilizers: they're plate mounted, which I've gone on record as saying aren't my favorite. While they are still pretty easy to replace, they don't offer the same level of security and acoustic accoutrement that screw-in stabs do. This is apparent every time you hit the rattly space bar and it screeches "ping!" back at you.

There are a lot of upsides, too. I love a vertical volume knob, especially one that lets me mute my audio with a tap. You can also configure this to change RGB brightness and zoom levels, or simply use it as a scroll wheel.

And to the left of that volume knob are two buttons that you can configure in iCUE, Corsair's customization app. These provide some nice functionality like locking into Gaming Mode (which disables the alt-f4 and the Windows key for accidental closures and alt-tabs), and whatever else you assign to the second button.

This is also where you can choose your RGB lighting effects to spice up your setup. There are prebuilt templates like breathing and wave effects, but you can also select individual keys and different effects to create your own designs.

Turning the board over, there are two feet you can flip out for a bit of added height framing a futuristic-looking back plate. These aren't bad, though I tend to go flat-footed with my keyboards anyway.

I'm also a big fan of the TKL form factor because I think it hits all the right areas without eating away all your desk space.

Plus, there's the star of the show: those MGX Hyperdrive magnetic Hall effect switches. While I don't think the average gamer needs them, they are very fast. And you can make them even faster by adjusting actuation levels in iCUE.

They also come pre-lubed, which is awesome to see more keyboard companies adopt. Keychron has been doing it for years, and it's an edge I always gave to its keyboards when reviewing them - it looks like that's changing in recent times, and I'm all for it. It just makes everything feel that much smoother - and doing it yourself is tedious.

The magnetic wrist rest is also a welcome and well-polished addition, and I found the keyboard comfortable to use both with and without it. That's the thing: this keyboard actually feels quite nice to type on if you like a quick, snappy switch - it just needs to clean up the sound and customization departments.

Corsair K70 Pro TKL: Performance

This is where the Corsair K70 Pro TKL shines. It has all the cool gaming features you can think of and some I guarantee you didn't.

Starting with the formalities, I never noticed any ghosting, double-typing, or any other low-budget keyboard problems here. The K70 Pro TKL was solid through and through.

Onto the cool stuff. Starting with Corsair's "Rapid Trigger" tech, this lets you feed inputs one after the other in rapid succession without having to release the other key. In practice, that means you can "a" and "d" around a corner to jiggle peak quicker than someone using inferior hardware. You can take this even further with adjustable actuation points, which let you activate a keystroke at the drop of a hat.

There's also dual actuation, which lets you assign two functionalities to one key - like walking if you press the key down half way, or sprinting if you put the pedal to the metal.

With these lightning fast key inputs comes the potential for game winning plays, but also mind numbing mistakes. Say you accidentally fat finger your ultimate key in a MOBA or WASD in Counter-Strike 2 when you meant to be holding an angle - it's a double-edged sword.

Thankfully, Corsair thought of this ahead of time and implemented a neat feature that cuts down on those accidental inputs: FlashTap tech. FlashTap lets you "prioritize the first, last, or neither input" when clicking two keys at the same time, which can be a lifesaver. It's disabled by default but can be toggled on with FN + Right Shift.

Combine all of that with Corsair's Axon tech that gives this keyboard a polling rate of 8,000Hz, and you have one seriously speedy keyboard.
