The entire keyboard has a good heft, weighing in at 979 grams it adds to the typing experience quite a bit. The entire case is made of plastic but I don’t consider that a huge disadvantage compared to the thinnest layer of aluminum you find on other mainstream keyboards. The high-profile design of the case provides a cleaner, more mature look than the low-profile exposed switch look that every other brand seems to have adopted. The Logitech G Pro X is one of the few large brand keyboards that isn’t a low profile cased keyboard and it’s something that I very much like. The Logitech G Pro X hasn’t changed since the original G Pro Vanilla, I don’t think it was necessary, most of the major qualms I had with the original G Pro were to do with internals rather than it’s external design, Logitech made a good choice by not deviating too far. The stabilized keys are fairly smooth without much of a hitch, the space bar does produce a hollow sound, but I’d chalk that up to a hollow case more than to the stabilizers. The Cherry style stabilizers do a good job, chatter is pretty minimal without a huge amount of rattle. The Logitech GX Pro stabilizers are pretty good, very good when comparing to other high priced keyboards like the Razer Huntsman Elite and Apex Pro. Kind of disappointing to not see a keycap puller along with the switch puller, if Logitech is going to promote customizing your board, they should also include a keycap puller to provide a complete experience. Check out the video above to see the switch puller in action. The G Pro X even comes with a handy dandy plastic switch puller to swap out your switches. For a lot of people, the ability to hot swap your own switches won’t be a huge deal, but for people who are looking for their absolutely perfect switch, the Logitech G Pro X becomes a lot more flexible to your needs. I’m happy to say that my Zealios v2 and Zilent v2’s worked in the keyboard without a hitch. Logitech has brought something unique to their switch offering this time around, the Logitech G Pro X is a hot swappable board! What was once a custom or special brand feature is now in a super mainstream brand of keyboard. The GX switches have a standard Cherry cross stem making these switches compatible with all after market key caps, this is a massive improvement over the proprietary Romer-G stems. In general, I wouldn’t recommend the GX browns for gaming, the extra added stiffness make it more fatiguing to game for longer periods. The bottom out of the GX Brown almost feels cushioned with the amount of resistance I expect out of a run of the mill brown switch. The stem on the GX Browns do seem a little more stable with less wobble. The tactile bump is slightly more pronounced than a regular MX Brown bump, which isn’t difficult, the MX Brown bump is pretty much non-existent, we’re not talking Zealios level bumps here. The GX Brown’s feel good to type on, compared to a regular Cherry MX Brown the actuation point and tactile bump are a little heavier, making the overall feel a little stiffer than a traditional Cherry MX Brown. I’m reviewing the GX Brown switches in the Logitech G Pro keyboard, these GX switches look like they’re rebranded Kailh switches. The switches don’t really have any gimmicks, they seem to be Logitech’s take on the traditional Cherry MX switch. Logitech GX Blue – Clicky, 2 mm actuation, 50 gram actuation point, 4 mm bottom out. Logitech GX Brown – Tactile, 2 mm actuation, 50 gram actuation point, 4 mm bottom out.Logitech GX Red – Linear, 2 mm actuation, 50 gram actuation point, 4 mm bottom out.The G Pro X has 3 switch options to choose from out of the box: The Logitech G Pro X Keyboard does away with the Romer-G switches of old, in its place, a much more familiar feeling and looking GX switch with a standard Cherry MX stem.
