Sturdy anodized aluminium housing. Detachable braided cable. Custom RGB backlit keys. Additional USB port.

The wired gaming keyboard is made in a classic style, has a black body and keys, as well as RGB backlighting with effects that visually “dilutes” the strict classics and allows you to comfortably use the device in a dark room. The metal base of the gadget is made in the Skeleton format, a characteristic feature of which is free access to the button mechanism — they are easily removed and installed back.

The keys have a mechanical design, so they can withstand tens of millions of keystrokes. Keyboard Logitech G512 GX Blue Switch belongs to the line of wired. The cable, 1.8 metres long, is connected to the computer via a USB interface and is equipped with a braid that protects it from bending and other mechanical influences. The gadget has a game mode designed to block the Win key, and built-in memory for programming commands. The keyboard is made in full-size ANSI-format, has a metal case, so it weighs 962 g. The Fn button is provided for quick volume control, screen brightness and other system functions.

Restrained minimalism

Logitech designers rarely go to extremes, preferring minimalism, versatile colours and strict forms. Ascetic by the standards of gaming keyboards Logitech G512 is an excellent confirmation of this. Turn off the backlight and you will hardly distinguish it from a normal working model. Whether this is good or bad depends on personal preference.

Rugged anodized aluminium housing

However, here is the case when the most interesting is hidden in the details. First, the keyboard itself is encased in a rugged, anodized aluminium chassis that maximizes the durability of the device. Secondly, the backlight is made individually for each button. Therefore, the area around the buttons remains almost untouched, and in complete darkness you see only the light of the keys. Thirdly, Logitech presented the new Romer-G Blue switches, which, according to test results, work 25% faster than standard switches. However Logitech does not specify what “standard switch” means — the original Cherry production or a copy. Of the pleasant things, also note the presence of convenient Logitech Gaming Software, which allows you to create different game profiles, change and customize button values, record macros for games, adjust the brightness of the backlight, etc.

Expensive

Add here typical gaming features like anti-ghosting and game mode and you will get a convenient and reliable gaming gadget in every respect. Having read up to this point and looking at the price tag, many will probably have a question, why is it so expensive? We do not know, because at the time of the announcement, Logitech was talking about $ 100 — 120 per unit. And in our stores they ask for all $ 200-240, for which you can buy a top-end version of the Razer BlackWidow Elite type. Or take quite good "mechanics" and save on a graphics card.
