People who are used to typing on mechanical switches might dislike how quiet and squishy analog switches are by comparison. Regardless of your thoughts there, analog switches stand out because there are so many ways that gamers can customize how quickly they register inputs. Logitech\u2019s new wired G512 X model attempts to settle the debate by letting you mix-and-match them as you please. The company claims that 39 of this model\u2019s switches are compatible with \u201calmost all\u201d popular analog and 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The G512 X is launching in the compact 75- and bigger 98-key configurations in black (with purple accents) or white (with turquoise accents). All options will launch on May 2nd for $179.99 and $199.99, respectively, and <a href=\"https:\/\/logitech.cfzu.net\/c\/482924\/499820\/8585?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.logitechg.com%2Fen-us%2Fshop%2Fp%2Fg512-x-75-gaming-keyboard\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">they\u2019re available for preorder now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The marquee feature of its TMR sensors is that they enable up to two actuation points per key that trigger at various points during your key press. This depth in customization is useful in games where you need to be delicate and sometimes swift with your inputs. Logitech says its second actuation point provides a tactile response you can feel as you press.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">These TMR switches also support rapid trigger, which quickly primes them for another input without needing the keys to fully spring back up (useful for spamming attacks or making small movements faster than your opponents). Those features go away when you swap analog switches to mechanical switches, but it\u2019s nice to have the flexibility to go back if you want to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The hybrid switch bed set the G512 X apart from the competition, and it has the potential to become a popular feature in gaming keyboards moving forward. And, it\u2019s great that Logitech\u2019s model offers the best of both worlds at a somewhat reasonable price point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Each type of keyboard switch comes with perks and downsides.
