Logitech G Pro X2 Rapid pairs Hall effect switches with a $229.99 price

TechRadar’s Dashiell Wood says the Logitech G Pro X2 Rapid is aimed at esports players who want highly responsive controls and can accept a premium price. The wired keyboard costs $229.99, £209.99 or AU$399.95, making it Logitech’s most expensive gaming keyboard, according to the review.

Its custom KS-20 POM switches, made by Gateron, use contactless Hall effect operation. Players can set actuation depth from 4mm down to 0.1mm in 0.05mm increments, with settings available for individual keys. A rapid trigger setting resets keys as they are lifted, while key priority changes how the keyboard handles nearly simultaneous inputs. Wood reports that key priority is banned in some competitive games, including Counter-Strike 2, and can lead to server kicks.

The keyboard also has an OLED display, a physical game mode switch and an optional 8,000Hz report rate. Wood found the display’s settings menu fiddly compared with Logitech G Hub, where profiles can be saved to the keyboard’s memory. The compact TKL design and smooth-feeling keys drew praise, but the review criticizes the all-plastic construction, wired-only connection, cable and wrist rest. Wood concludes that the price reflects its specialist features, while noting that some similarly priced alternatives use aluminum or offer wireless connectivity.
