ACCESSORIES

Logitech introduced the Pro X2 Rapid, a wired tenkeyless gaming keyboard designed to reduce input latency for competitive players. The device targets users who need precise timing, offering an 8kHz polling rate that cuts communication delay between the keyboard and PC. This speed allows gamers to register actions faster, which matters in titles where split-second reactions decide the outcome.

The keyboard uses KS-20 POM magnetic Hall Effect switches that require 30g of actuation force with a 10g tolerance. Logitech enables Rapid Trigger technology, which resets a key as soon as upward movement is detected. This feature lets players reset triggers instantly without fully releasing the key, a capability that benefits shooters and fighting games.

  • Switch Type: KS-20 POM magnetic Hall Effect
  • Actuation Force: 30g (10g tolerance)
  • Polling Rate: 8000Hz
  • Actuation Range: 0.1mm to 4mm in 0.05mm steps
  • Dimensions: 363mm wide, 143mm deep, 38mm high

Actuation points are adjustable from 0.1mm to 4mm in 0.05mm steps, giving users fine control over trigger sensitivity. The unit measures 363mm wide, 143mm deep, and 38mm high, and includes an onboard OLED display for quick settings adjustment. It connects via a detachable 1.8m USB-A to USB-C cable and supports Windows 10 or later and macOS 12 or later.

Logitech lists the Pro X2 Rapid at $229.99 in the US and 249.99 EUR (around $286) in Europe. The keyboard is available in black, white, and magenta starting September 23 through LogitechG.com. We touched on Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike 2 Leaked in our earlier Logitech coverage, but this model focuses on wired performance rather than handheld integration.
