Logitech has officially launched the wired gaming keyboard 'G512 X' in Korea, featuring a switch customization foundation. This new product aims to be a modular performance system that evolves according to gamers' play styles, going beyond fixed hardware. Its most significant feature is the application of Dual-Swap technology, allowing users to freely combine analog input switches with traditional mechanical switches, a first for the Logitech G product line.

Users can place the two types of switches as desired in the 39th core HYBE-led switch slots, which include the character keys and directional keys. The product package comes standard with 39 analog switches and 39 mechanical brown switches. In terms of performance, it is equipped with a next-generation TMR sensor that detects minute magnetic field changes, reducing power consumption while improving accuracy compared to existing optical or Hall effect sensors.

Combined with True 8K polling rate technology that transmits data 8,000 times per second, it achieves a response speed of 0.125ms. For gaming-specific functions, it supports Rapid Trigger, which releases input immediately upon key press, and a Key Priority function that allows users to designate priority when inputting opposing directional keys, aiding in precise control. Using the dedicated software, Logitech G HUB, users can finely set input depth and reset points for each key. In particular, it offers a Multi-Point Action function that sets two different actions for a single key based on input depth, along with a SAPP ring that provides tactile differentiation for the second input point, enabling intuitive operation.

Additionally, it features a dual dial that allows users to freely assign various functions such as volume control and media control, and incorporates a LIGHTSYNC RGB light bar to enhance immersion. In terms of design and convenience, it is available in two layouts—75-key and 98-key—and two colors, black and white, broadening the range of choices. The back of the product includes a dedicated storage case for storing keycaps, switch pullers, and spare switches, adding to management convenience.

Jung Joong-hoon Ji (President) of Logitech Korea emphasized that the G512 X presents a new standard for gamers to complete their own equipment, going beyond hardware limitations.
