Logitech just released the new Pro X 60 wireless gaming keyboard. With a lack of rapid trigger switches or any real features that makes this relevant in 2024, let's take a look at why you should absolutely avoid spending the $180 when there's numerous other better options on the market.

This really does look like a board that Logitech forgot to release 7 years ago
I think they were in a rush... they have a life too like mabye need to hurry cuz there flight is on the move or whatever
@@JB-DJ But for $180, just nah. U could just get a better keyboard for under $100
agree :D
That intro had me on the floor Also well said, this is the biggest BS I have *ever* seen from *any* company in my life. Thanks for nothing, Logitech.
The intro really spoke 1000 words about this keyboard
Logitech increasing prizes but same quality
where is this prize they are giving out
As do alot of brands
(*prices ) but yeah inflation and what not ig im more and more inclined to choose these newer/smaller brands like wooting etc
Literal shrinkflation of tech
Worse quality*. They used to use better switches that weren't proprietary
That shake test got me LMAOOOOO God that sounds awful, like a bag of rocks.
my 915 is painfully similar
I’m not retarded but I like rocks
That intro implying the keyboard is a POS I love that 💀
I rarely comment but it’s really nice to see a big reviewer calling out a big company’s bullshit 🎉
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen him this disappointed in a product. Thanks for the honesty Frank!
why do i feel like logitech just mass ordered it from alibaba like a custom RJ61 or GK61
Please don’t compare it to keyboards that are actually good for the price 😂😂
I own a the Gk61 is a god send
@@ambasing69basically it is a GK61 with a massive price hike from greedy Logitech. @techNo1geek made an accurate statement.
BECAUSE LOGITECH DID JUST THAT HELLO!!!???
the gk61 is a good starter board for new pc gamers. but if this Logitech board was even 40 bucks i would not tell anyone about it or recommend it lmfao, and the gk61 I've recommended to many.
I'd honestly fire the product manager on the spot. This is completely unacceptable. 180 dollars is another price increase when keyboards are getting cheaper and more refined with each release. God save Logitech at this point. Huge L once again...
Having a keyboard from 5 years ago at the same price as a set a really nice custom is just sad And that typing sound is brutal, sound like a $20 cheap a*s keyboard
Keyboard designer: I can design a new keyboard that cost noting to make but charge an arm and a leg Logitech: You are promoted
have you noticed they kept designing but not acknowledging economic elasticity?
Damn $180, I'd expect machined aluminum body.
That intro is CRAZY LOL!
Ah shit, now we only need marques to drop a bad review on it & we getting rid of Logitech with this one
Love the translucent keycaps on your wooting, whats the name of these?
Glad you did review it. I like to hear your thoughts on unreasonable products.
i like that volume rocker form factor and placement ngl, hopefully others implement similar ideas
That intro and ending were so damn good. I don't even care about the keyboard but now I do. I care how much it sucks because you did this video so well. They need to really take notes from all your points as much as they should know this stuff already.
I know a lot of focus has been brought to the intro, but the abruptness of the ending? That is the exclamation point to your "No thanks" right there.
To be fair, he used a fade to black rather than a hard cut. Haha
I upgraded from my Logitech G915 to a Varmilo Minilo. Even though it's plastic it's such a big upgrade. I don't miss the key rattle, or lack of gasket, no dampening, bad stabilizer, proprietary keys etc...
The best part about this keyboard is the promotional ASMR unboxing video they released was more of a warning than an ad
Mr. Frank, my buddy was in need of a windows key. I remembered watching one of your videos way back when, and you plugged a website for buying windows keys. Do you remember what the website was?
I'm dead happy to see some negative reviews because that means being brutally honest for the viewers.
@Logitech at this price point you need hotswappable hall-effect (ideally universal) switches if you want to actually sell this
Intro was pure 🔥!
The clicking of the pen for sound reference at the start is a great basis. Kudos to the person who came up with it.
The saddest thing is that for $180 they give you a $50 crappy keyboard. When there are options like the Womier S-K71 which is full aluminum, plus it feels and sounds incredible for a modest price of $80-90
can you do an updated review of the apex pro tkl? they did a few firmware updates to try and keep up and im curious what you think of them
Love the new vid style bro!
Have you checked out the Polar 65 by Arbiter Studios? It’s a great keyboard and it’s up there with the wooting
Rfp you have a positive cantal tilt. I'm so happy for you!
I have an Idea for logitech, build on the g915 platform with magnetic low profile switches with pbt keycaps. Would buy it in a heartbeat.
The Intro dudeee 💀 bruh iam dead
My Logitech G710+, which I believe was Logitech's first mech keyboard, was giving up the goat on a few keys after 11+ years of use. Looked around and ended up on the Wooting 60HE+ and honestly couldn't be happier. I have Logitech's Superlight 2 (got it for Christmas) and it's been a great mouse, but in general I agree that Logitech is charging far too much for a lot of their stuff as of late. If this Pro X 60 came out and had rapid trigger keys but Logitech's software that would let me set profiles per game and automatically switch to those profiles when I launch the game? I might have canceled my order and stuck with Logitech. I also really like their Lightspeed wireless tech for my mouse, and having the same tech for my keyboard to be fully wireless would have been fantastic. I've generally liked Logitech gear and at one point nearly all of my peripherals (speakers, mouse, keyboard, headset, webcam, mouse pad/mat) were all Logitech. My headset gave up the goat pretty quickly (partially my fault), and when my keyboard finally did as well nothing of what Logitech offered made sense for the spend.
That intro was too good lmao! I bet you thought of the intro idea while actually using that very same toilet! Lol
So whats the alternative for a 60% wireless mechanical keyboard with exteremely small latency for gaming that has rgb and 60 hours of battery life?
This really should've had the PowerPlay treatment and had actual support for aftermarket optical switches. Then I can see a point for it costing the way it does.
i like how they started from inexpensive but really good quality to cheap but pricey products, like their last par of headset they released for 250$ with little to no improvement just that they are wireless
Man I have a 25 bucks 96 Mechanical Keyboard and it doesn't make a rattle sound like that. As if Logitech thinks the eSports fans are easy to fool.
the only thing I commend them doing having a switch to turn on or off the function of the windows key
Frank, that intro... boy, you are an absolute savage❤😂
You can get the pre-built version of the Luminkey65 for 179 bucks. That's a true, proper (gasket mount, aluminium case, copper weight) custom keyboard.
The pull up BEFORE the wipe in the intro was wild
good thing I'm looking at going with corsair products from now on then right?
Man ... that intro is killer. The toilet paper on top at the end was chef kiss. I could hate the rest of your review, but it's a very creative and funny intro.
GK 61 + Logitech Esc Keycap = $180 great deal
Similar boards are available for around $50. I have to nitpick about the negativity on 1kHz polling rate, though. Fractions of a millisecond is absolutely tiny compared to anything else involved in a key press. If the point was that you can't go slower, I'd like to have seen where that matters - other than technically not having control over it. With the mentioned best gaming keyboard, the polling rate is changeable but at 1kHz at max.
I have a Razer Huntsman Tournament with optical switches , a nightmare when playing race games like F1 and dirt rally or wrc.
intro was fire Frank
My suggestion is Logitech should make a 65% and 76% version, cause it has the arrow key. Plus upgrade the G305/304 mouse to 60 gram. This 2 should sell well. Heck even a low profile slim version with 65 or 75 % would be nice...like keychron.
This is the kind of honesty we need nowadays! nice comic inference with the Seinfeld bit awesome!
How would I be able to properly game when Logitech never tested their mice and mousepads with other keyboards, honestly this is the next step forward for them I can finally get off my pro x tkl for a smaller keyboard finally letting me tilt. my keyboard enabling me to achieve +15 aim by tilting this on my logitech desk. I hope logitech makes a monitor soon because Ive been struggling to improve with my logitech mouse on my logitech mousepad and my dreams of becoming exactly like Shroud who definitely has a secret Logitech Monitor.
Hi, could you recommend a good gaming keyboard please? And also a good mouse. I play competitive Fortnite, where every millisecond counts... Thanks
i have the logitech 915 which i got because im used to laptop keyboards and really liked the switches. after about 2 years these keycaps are borderline offensive with how bad they rattle. honestly regret it. think im going to avoid logitech in the future
They just plop a generic kb pcb, added their ghub integration. add some dial and extra buttons.
Logitech released this as if the HE keyboards didn't exist. They probably put more money into the office space products than the gaming since I see a ton of the office products ads lately.
how long until you post your viper v3 pro review? this week? next week?
When the embargo lifts 😶
Love that Aesop Intro!
Great review ❤❤❤
Why did they go with horizontal on the numbers row, having it read 『2@』, 『3#』, 『5%』hurts my fucking brain, and the crammed font/ size. Honestly would have skipped this keyboard just for that (I'm just looking for gaming keyboard and don't wanna spend more money to customize it, in this case spend more to even have it be use-able
I'm still waiting for a damn wireless Huntsman Mini.
Holy shit 180..... Bro my Razer Blackwidow Tourmey was 120 with a steel body and its going on 8yrs of heavy WoW and FF14 abuse. Half the rgb doesn't display properly as of the past year. But the keyboard its self works like a tank. The only reason I'm thinking of replacing it is to get slightly quieter switches. But logitech can keep that shit.
I have a: G915 G703 Logitech G pro x 2 lightspeed MX master 3
Ten to one the engineers had all that dampening maybe even plus but accounting said they could keep 75% of the profit instead of 50% by saying no and 🤑 won out, as always.
Imagine _Redragon_ (of all the companies) having a K617 with magnetic switch and 8k, while Logitech has this thing, oh boy.
Man that intro was hella great :)
I think the point of the price is when it goes on sale, probably soon, it's more enticing for the less Keyboard inclined to buy it cause of how much they're "saving". Though maybe that's me giving them too much credit and they expect people to really spend enough money to buy this keyboard instead of a used nintendo switch lite or something.
The very stock green pcb got me rolling. Havent seen that in a while
Yeah I know right. It looks so archaic. But then again, they could'nt even properly make it hotswap so its not like you will see it anyway.
I'll never understand this trend of keyboards that require layers/chords for basic functionality you use every day. Unless it's just to look pretty on a desk where someone never actually uses their computer. Even if you only ever play games and nothing else, you still need the cursor and function keys often enough that they're worth the TINY bit of extra space.
If you want to know why Logitech advertises "Key Control" as a feature I think it is because for years now they never had a keyboard that could be fully customisable with the macros and remapping on each key and only on their keyboards that contained macro keys on the side did they have this available as a feature and even then only those specific macro keys on the side were customisable and not the rest of the keys. As far I am aware Corsair was the first with this feature which they added to their very first K70 RGB which BTW was the very first RGB mechanical keyboard and it also had per key RGB lighting and was the first for that too because before that any keyboard that did have backlighting only had a single colour and when the keyboard did have a lighting effect it would just be some sort of flicker where all switches would change together in synchronization. Corsair working together with Cherry pioneered RGB mechanical switches that could be individually controlled back in 2014 and that was a WHOLE ASS DECADE AGO. Logitech took 10 years to do that When looking at this so called "Key Control" feature from the perspective I just talked about it is all the more shocking as to why it is being advertised as a feature which has been given its own special name. because NO ONE ELSE advertises it as a feature let alone give the feature a specific "cool name" since they have gone and done that feature years ago. I remember I think it was JayzTwoCents who did a video on a Logitech full size wireless keyboard like 3 years ago and was shocked they did not have remappable keys on that keyboard except for the macro keys on the side
0:20 :O .....oh he went there 😂😂
pretty wild to think that I just bought a Cidoo V75 for... 167€ The Logitech Pro X 60 costs 199€ here.
The funny thing is their Logitech MX Mechanical line (I'm using the Mini Tactile Quiet version here) has far-better build quality than this. They can do way better than this with their business- and productivity-focused product lines, but it seems like their gaming division dropped the ball hard here.
10:18 That shake test is shocking....
Even the $100 8BitDo and the $50 Redragon hot swappable keyboards have foam and silicone gaskets to dampen sound as well as giving you quality and lubricated stabilizers.
8:45, is this flippin why I can't remap my G915 TKL, because the keyboard isn't designed that way and not just an update to the software. Ludicrous.
Waiting for Frank to drop a huntsman v3 pro review after this!!
WELL SAID. Funnily I wanted to get this when it was first announced but now I will wait. IMO - It's an adequate keyboard. Just not good enough for the "pro" label and price-tag.
I own Wooting, but you know not everyone wants linear low actuation for MOBA's like LOL, Dota. But yeah this form factor for mobas is meh, but yeah the price is lul
Das ASMR test was better when Logitech did a post on theirs instagram, but i think this is closer to the reality.
I wanted to ask what website (9:56) that is, I'm quite curious.
Just buy the G915 TKL which is metal also note you cannot order new keycaps for it, so don't break one. Are these MX compatible keycaps if so just get rubber bumpers.
you should honestly be a product manager or something. you have better ideas than most of these top companies lol
Im fricking love the intro lmao
Nah that intro was somthing else 🤣🤣🤣🤣
worst is the asus falchion keyboards. they dont last one year the same price and they dont even have swappable keys.
That intro alone explains the state of Logitech's products, good work as always! 💪
I was kind of shocked at first on how different your intro went but it's very clear how anyone would be frustrated if a company that u praised for years suddenly throws an apple move of selling the brand without innovation. Basically paying for the brand's name at this point. Hopefully your video lets logitech fix this lackluster kind of a keyboard
The beginning killed me 🤣
Man I hate how these are such good videos but they get no views and the comments are almost all bots. But keep it up! Keep making these awesome videos. I also think it's crazy how a big company like logitech can get away with this. I mean they have some pretty good other products, but holy, this ones bad.
Agree!
Google Logitech DEI and you will find the direct problem.
The tolerances on those switches, plate, and caps make me physically ill lmao that shake test was very telling about the quality
As said before the switches are the only redeeming quality, because I wanted Logitech to make a optical/hall effect keyboard so hopefully they can learn from it to make better keyboard with better optical/hall effect switches
I love that intro haha. That key wobble is very attrocious, I have a Keytronic membrane keyboard from 1999 with less wobble than that Pro X 60 sheesh. I'd rather get a keyboard like my buddy's which is a Langu GK65 Tri-Mode which costs around 30 USD and sounds thocky stock, not like a cheap plastic toy like that Pro X 60.
That intro was so EPIC!!!!!
Fantastic video :) Logi gotta be sitting in the lab thinking "didn't know the P is for pissed off".
It would have made sense if it was made of aluminium also why are there so many random protrusions in the bottom of the case?
That Ric Flair WOOOO! convinced me right away
Logitech has been doing this for a while. Which is why I switched to Redragon a while ago and haven't looked back. Still use a G502, but that's about it for Logitech nowadays.
Jajajajajaja Mr that intro deserves some thumps up grettings from México 👍🏻
