The hybrid design brings depth‑sensitive control to common gaming keys at a lower price than many full‑analog boards.

Overview

  • The G512 X, which went on sale Tuesday on LogitechG.com, launches at $179.99 for the 75% layout and $199.99 for the 98% layout with wider retail availability on May 2.
  • It offers 39 hybrid TMR key beds on the left side that accept either bundled Gateron analog switches or standard 3‑pin and 5‑pin mechanical switches.
  • TMR sensors read how far you press a key to deliver analog input, enabling two actions at different depths with optional SAPP rings that add a tactile bump at the second trigger.
  • A wired True 8K pipeline lists about 0.125 ms end‑to‑end latency, and reviewers note there is no wireless option.
  • Hardware touches include two programmable dials, a front RGB lightbar, built‑in storage for switches and tools, and an acrylic palm rest sold separately.
