anything "gaming" increases the price automatically 75%. adding "pro" increases it another 50%. wireless is +100%. this keyboard should only really be like $50.
They somehow make both the best and worst crap. Because their mice are on the top and ngl, some of them deserve it, but this keyboard and some of others? The WORST OF THE WORST for the price
They saw a Newman keyboard and went, "I bet we can take that $25 China keyboard with a metal baseplate, make it completely out of plastic, and charge nearly 700% more for it."
There are more blissful ignorant people out there than there are keyboard enthusiast. They see the Logitech badge, they see the word 'gaming', they'll gobble it up.
yeah, I was one of them few years ago, and now i have g810 that is a 200 usd paperweight cos 3 switches need replacing and they are soldered and can't even buy them from logitech (proprietary switches). Never again.
but you know, in the end for absolutely normal population, casual gamers whatever, this is more than enough as keyboard :d and every other features that have diff keyboards better, its minor, and im not talking about this specific keyboard, but about your logitech badge comment, cuz mouses they are doing absolutely superb, probably best in the market, and some keyboards are also "okay"
So the really cool thing about Logitech software, is that the new control panel doesn't support older devices, which means you need to have the old Logitech control panel installed for those devices. Sounds like a minor inconvenience? Well, you can't have both installed at the same time. You get to choose either the newer devices, *or* the old ones. So if you have an old racing wheel and a new mouse, you're SOL.
@@electrified0 I honestly can't imagine a use case for a 60% gaming keyboard other than a portable option to be used in a pinch. It's just missing so much functionality. If you're paying hundreds on a premium daily driver gaming keyboard that will sit on your desk, it seems incredibly silly to skimp out on so many keys. Not to mention the many games you wouldn't even be able to play with this so-called gaming keyboard.
I have a usb wireless Logitech keyboard that has a TouchPad and it works awesome for connecting to my TV. It is in no way customizable but suits the purpose
Perhaps Logitech's main mistake here was attempting to make a _keyboard._ Like, the kind people use for gaming and/or serious typing. What they excel at is making glorified television remotes, not daily workhorse keyboards.
gaming keyboards dont exist they just market normal keyboards with rgb and low form factor like the custom keyboard industry hasnt been doing this for years and tcustom accel at being a keyboard more than anything big companies will advertise
That might be a bit generous considering the prebuilt Epomaker TH80 Pro is on sale for $45 rn. I'm very new to the hobby, but as someone who has been scouring Amazon very recently looking for the right budget board to start my custom journey with, it feels like we are actually starting to get solid budget offerings, especially when you factor in sales. This keyboard honestly gave the vibes of those unnamed, near-permanently marked down boards you see listed for $20-$30
This is not a keyboard for enthusiasts, Logitech don't care about them, this is not their target. They aim for average "gamers" with extra bucks to spend, people that don't even know you can customize a keyboard
The point is that the quality is bad for a "pro" and "expensive" keyboard. You can get more quality out of your money with non-gaming mechanical keyboards
thats why complete brand loyalty is dumb. some people feel the need to get every peripheral from one company, and they end up with probably half their stuff being overpriced junk and some stuff just overpriced for no reason but it has gaming or pro in its name.
Honestly they have no competition when it comes to mice. Some other company might be able to make better mice but none seem interested in trying. You have Logitech, the default mice that come with their respective brands and tons of nameless Chinese products. That's it
@@strayiggytv Tbh the "nameless chinese products" pretty much caught up with the big boys now when it comes to the mice. And they evolve much much faster than the dinosaurs like Logitech and Razer. Logitech released GPX2 with a big fanfare recently, and it's basically just a GPX1 copy with USB-C and 2000MHz polling rate. And they spent years making it. Brands like Lamzu, Pulsar, Vaxee and others are releasing tons of great mice frequently, around half the price, full of latest tech, 8000MHz sensors, optical switches and encoders, super light weight, hot swappable switches etc. Logitech is living off their past fame, but they aren't the inovators in the mouse market anymore either.
I've had nothing but bad experiences with logitexh mice. My g305 and g903 both had double click. Somehow a used g502 i got off ebay still works but that's it
their membrane keyboards for office work are good. mx keys. also their keyboard cases for ipads have very good typing feel. have not tried their gaming keyboards though.
i would LOVE a video on your mouse! my partner has been looking for a new mouse and yours looks really awesome so i'd love to learn more about why you love it!
@@slapp3r439Beats and apple are actually fine for audio now. The best bang for buck? definitely not. But recent airpods are considered pretty good by many reputable reviewers.
Hey Hipyo, new fan here! What was the keyboard you presented at 15:20? Just started to become obsessed with my keyboards lately and I want to own my 3rd soon :P
Same, I have plenty of customs, nothing games competitively like my 60he and as a huuuge plus you can actually customize it all the way, and wooting themselves teach you how to do most of it
HAHA: "I don't like it when my keyboard makes sounds when I'm not typing on it." This is literal self-sabotage on part of Logitech. This is enough to make me never want to buy a Logitech keyboard ever again.
Would like to point out that the keyboard case is cheap trash that you can buy premade with customized logos for about 1000 buckaroonies for 100 pieces or there about. You essentially start with a flat sandwich that gets heat formed, to which then they either glue or use a shoe type sewing machine to sew on the zipper. The whole op is less than 5 minutes per case and can be done with stuff you have at home you so desire.
The infinite scrollwheel of 502 is something I couldn't live without, hopefully mine will survive until their patent expires because Logitech only has like 3 options with it. Need more competition to choose from!
Keychron m6 that came out somewhat recently has it. Logitech has been officially dead to me since getting one. Multiply g502 and mx master, reduce to weight to 80 grams and sell it for $50. That's what the keychron m6 is.
@@ze_or Nice, although not sure if I could make do without the macro buttons of 502. But that does indeed have the mechanical button for it, wonder how they're getting around the patent. Since from my understanding the patent is still active for few years. (to the end of 2026 I believe)
@@ze_or I own both G502X and Keychron m6. m6 is nice and light but the software is awful, you can't change profile without opening the software, there is no button to change profile on the mouse. Beside that m6 have fewer keys than G502 that didn't help because there is no layers (or the equivalent of G-shift) on m6. The scrollwheel unlock button on m6 is really nice though due to the short travel distant, I never unlock the wheel on G502 because the button is hard to press.
@@hanley6478 I usually don't change my mouse bindings and just rebind forward/back on the app i'm using instead, so I can't really relate personally, but I see where you are coming from. Would've been really cool if keychron mouse could come with vial or something.
"I want a switch puller, a key cap puller" Custom boards have given me nothing but garbage. Thanks for not shipping more garbage with the board. "Look at the wobble" Yeah. Less wobble than the Wooting XD
@@Shyvorix I agree on wooting performance but unfortunately non hot swappable keyboards are unusable to me because the only keyswicthes I find tolerable are Kailh pinks with jades on the larger keys. I grew up with IBM bucking springs so quiet / soft keytswitches are intolerable to me and even cherry and gateron tactile switches feel yucky. The kailh pink / jade is the closest mechanical switch I've found to a bucking spring.
A few months ago I bought a CoolerMaster SK622 60% keyboard, as I wanted to have a teeny mechanical keyboard to bring along to LAN parties and such. Considering I just needed WASD+Space for 90% of the games I played, it's done the job quite nice. While I was watching this video, I was comparing the Logitech to my CoolerMaster, and the only thing I envied was the carrying case and the volume slider on the side. Everything else was leaps and bounds better than the Logitech, and my CoolerMaster only cost $90 USD (But I got it on sale for $59)
I'm sorry you had to pay this much for a coolermaster keyboard. For that much money you could have gotten a luck65 that has features you would have only seen on 300 or 400+ dollar keyboards 5 years ago, but now those kinds of custom keebs can be had for 60 bucks. Insane value if you ask me.
First pro of this keyboard: It's available in non american layouts. It's got way better latency than Keychron's keyboards do So there is a reason to get it over others, even over keychrons.
Latency is an argument I see brought up a lot, but in practice most keyboards have an acceptable latency for the majority of gamers and most people won't tell the difference
@@HipyoTech pro gaming gear has been chasing latency beyond human perception and performance for a long time. optical switches on keyboards and mice exist just for this reason. also they have longer lifespan because there is no mechanical contact and abrasion.
I have Logitech G613 lightspeed and I have a RK84PRO. I cannot tell the difference between either and I'm playing Apex Legends with them. Granted I prefer my Wooting 60HE for Apex for Super Glides but the difference in latency is not noticeable unless I swap to BT. I've been able to pull off Super Glides with both. If you HATE Keychron there are plenty of other options like Nuphy and Lofree.
This is pretty on par with most mainstream keyboards. I'm so glad people like you are out here on RUclips talking about this. Keyboards could be so much better than they are today, and these big manufacturers could do SO MUCH MORE. Instead, let's just keep supporting these smaller keyboard makers that are pushing out amazing products!
Own mx mechanical and I am surprised that pro x 60 is such downgrade. If someone only considers logitech keyboards, just go with mx. It is little bit cheaper, full size, does not rattle and upper part of case is metal.
Razer has some mice with the infinite scroll now too. Just thought I'd leave that here for anyone that wants options lol. (It's a little different not being on a bearing but using some fero fluid tech instead, but it feels and functions similar enough)
Dude Logitech built up a great reputation for their mouse, they made the Superlight and every pro was using it, and instead of saying “alright team let’s stay competitive, let’s stay innovative, let’s reach out to esports pros and ask what they like about our products, what they don’t” instead they said “Big payday time boys, let’s release the cheapest pieces of garbage from 5 years ago and charge 2024 premium prices cause since pros use our nice everyone thinks we’re good and we can cash out on our reputation” I got bad news Logitech, everyone sees through your bullshit. Tragic that this company probably could have gone so far but has clearly given up to cash out on their reputation. Screw them
Thing is, most people don't know what a good keyboard is. They see 'mechanical' in the name and automatically assume it's just good. At most people understand the actuation distance and force and just rely on that spec sheet. In reality, a keyboard is much more than that, in fact, I'd argue that it's primarily NOT that.
The issue with a big company doing mechanical keyboards that are good enough for enthusiast is repair/replacement costs. The “standard” hot swap system is great, but it is something that is hard to “automate” to mass produce and they are prone to ma factoring errors where the socket is not 100% aligned and so they pop off when the user installs a switch….meaning they face a choice to either have a generous refund policy or to have angry customers. It just makes sense to try to come up with a “new and innovative” switch system. What I’m getting at…they just won’t be able to make something that is cheap enough to hit the “mass market” represented by people who want a good keyboard for gaming but has the quality expected by a keyboard enthusiast.
@@HipyoTechYeah, for example Polar65, drunkdeer a75 pro, and Boog75 are all hotswap and much better quality than this, along with hall effect switches which are infinitely better for gaming.
@@Tendeethose are all Chinese brands which probably pay their workers even less that Logitech pays their Chinese workers. So many of the rando Chinese keyboard brands are able to be very nimble in their home market and get good deals on parts. It's why when they make a key board everyone loves half the time it sells out and they never make it exactly the same way again.
honestly, i think "designed for pros" is such a generic claim that anyone with common sense would realize means nothing; it doesn't really set any longer of expectation
@@AbiPrasaddude the g915 has the best flat keys i have ever felt or seen, thats due to the thin switches they have and the body us full aluminum, the mechanics of it feel amazing thats honestly their only solid keyboard
The g502 x plus lightspeed is my favorite mouse of all time, which of course it is because the g502 x and normal g502 were my favs b4 it. It makes playing games that require tons of keys like Destiny 2 SOOO much better. That infinite scroll wheel is great as well.
I returned my G502X Plus, absolute downgrade from the OG G 502 LS. Switches were awful sounding very hollow and the pinging was on another level, palm grippers will hate it because they didn't bother to taper the sharp angles where your palm sits and the scroll wheel is worse. On one hand, it is noticeably lighter I just bought another g502lightspeed instead. It'll last another 5 years, hopefully Logi will come back with something good by then. Been using their mice since G5 days.
I am looking forward to these keyboards when they eventually go on Sale. Back in 2022 I bought a G Pro Keyboard for $20 at target. Those normally go for $120, so I expect these to go on sale at some point for similar prices, because at $40, its probably worth it.
The full metal plate being stiff can be a redeeming feature. Stiff (can feel more responsive) vs Flex (I've definitely had boards feel sluggish and too flexy)
Sad thing about this is, because of brand recognition people would still end up getting scammed by this. And I believe that is the target market for this
This company made a name for itself among '90s geeks, but back then, the field was uncharted, and every piece of junk seemed like a marvel. But today, junk is just junk, and this company keeps churning out nothing but junk! I can't understand how it hasn't disappeared from the market 20 years ago.
Their wireless mice have been a sign of the direction the company was going for awhile now. They started using switches rated at a different voltage than the batteries, which was causing their infamous double click issue, and then gaslit their customers saying that it wasn't an issue with the mouse and people were reading too much into it. I can't say I'm even a little surprised with how this keyboard went.
What an impressive keyboard! Whenever i type on this keyboard, it creates a marvellous booming sound that makes people thought I'm carrying a machine gun, making them no longer wish to mess with me again. Great job done!
As any performer on Only Friends knows: "It's all about having and using the right lube in the right amount, in the right places to ensure the best camera angles as your audience's fingers slide across the key caps" Right? The Pre-lube of the switches is a fan service!
I've tried optical switches and currently use them on my daily driver (Hunstman Tournament Edition), but they took so much getting used to. Took me a few months to really get used to the actuation points especially since it actuates BEFORE the click... it doesn't have the same forced feedback as your standard set. However I think some of these companies are marketing optical as 'gamer' due to how highly sensitive they can end up being, and that is such a bad reason to give it the 'gamer' tag. It kind of makes the keyboard harder to really use (esp if you need to smash a key) until you get used to the very sensitive and rather high actuation point (it's way further up then you'd think so spamming the key like a normal switch does nothing as it thinks you've still depressed the key). I can only assume this has similar flaws, and pair that with the price tag and cheap materials? Yikes.... I think mine was closer to $80 at the time. I can see why everyone is calling it a scam. Logitech really messed up here. Not to mention proprietary switches for that cost? Insane.
LOL love your roast! Hate it when companies come up with products that NO ONE needs! What were they thinking??!?!?! What a waste of corporate energy and resources.
I have in front of me a 60% mechanical keyboard, made with premium materials, replaceable optical switches, configurable layout, spare keycaps in the box c/w keycap puller, switch puller and spare switches. It's Bluetooth (three different devices) and USB C. The keycaps are double shot and high quality. Nice configurable RGB and also features customisable macro's etc via free app included. Switchable between Windows and macOS configurations (with corresponding keycaps, i.e 'Option' instead of 'Alt' etc) Oh and it was twenty quid on Amazon.
As someone who's worked at a company that has become more and more corporate over time, I can definitely say that big corporate companies have a really hard time meeting enthusiasts where they are. They can't really wrap their corporate mainstream brains and processes around super niche wants and needs because everything kind of has to fit into their top-down approval process. And a lot of the times, most of the people making the decisions are people who are focused more on numbers and their own personal preferences than what the target audience actually wants, which is sad.
Appreciate the feed back on this one, as a Logitech fanboy I know to stay away from the ''Pro'' X 60, both my sons use G915 tkl's, and I have a G710+, Although I feel this thing is still here mainly for nostalgic reason 🤣🤣 great vid Hipyo
I rest my left 5, 4, and 3 fingers on the side case when I'm typing or coding. I hover over ESC and ALT-TAB. Without resting on the side, hovering would wear the hand out quicker. I suppose it might be the same for navigating the game UI.
As someone who bought the G910 tkl wireless - and loved it - having since then delved deeper into the custom keybaord era and areas - I have seen the glaring disparity on quality that logitech has taken. The rattley keycaps - when I got it i was placebo'd into it because of the price I was paying and the combo that I got. I have since moved on from it (which i feel really ashamed to admit because I did love the keyboard initially, the low profile keys, wireless that never failed and the layout and tactile style of it) and then - Ive found myself ive bought 4 boards since, a mix of custom and prebuilt with different styles etc (switches, build material etc) PS - wish I had kept my previous boards for your Boardwalk - traded them into my local cash converters cus i needed stuff to fund - oh well there go the Steelseries and Corsair keyboards I had laying around as 'spares' hehheh..ahhaah...hahaha...spares....keybaords...hahahah
The Razer Basilisk also has the infinite scroll wheel. It also has a better center of mass, and Razer's Software isn't Ghub, because Ghub is the worst driver software I've ever used, especially compared to the thing it replaced, LGS. When Logitech replaced LGS with Ghub, I basically tossed all of my logitech peripherals. Also side-note, as someone who would have been considered a "Pro Player" at one point, Pro gamers know how to play the game genre they're good at. They do not know anything about game design, or product design, or engineering, and asking them to design a mouse/keyboard/game will naturally end in disaster.
GHub is OK rn, really good software after multiple updates. but razer software maked me go crazy because it so shitty designed for like win8 or something like that, and also it very laggy for me, so i sold my razer mouse 💀
Hippo, if you didn't know, logitech has many mice that feature the infinite scroll wheel(I too find this feature a must have) such as the MX master 3 and the MX anywhere 2 and/or 3 and the the non-gaming 502 and/or 501 mouse plus several others. Personally I love the same mouse you have in this video but my personal favorite is the MX master 3s or whatever the silent edition version is called. The mouse click is completely silent which i find really nice plus its a bonus to have in a work environment. I feel the only thing its missing is a small rgb accent added to it such as an underglow feature, that would be absolutely stunning imo.
Thanks for this video. I thought that looked cheap from the first time I saw it. Thanks for proving my hunch right! I gave up on Logitech when my 5, and 6 numpad lights died. Lost the color green. On my G815 keyboard. I contacted them about it, and they said that since it was out of warrenty there was nothing they could, or cared, to try to do. Since it was just 'buy a new keyboard or else' from them, I went and bought a Steelseries Apex 3 TKL, and love it. Wish you could review one of these too. =) I like your vids. I also dropped the logitech mouse, and got a razor. Still has the rgb I love.
I have a Logitech keyboard+touchpad thingy that I'm pretty happy with. Not because it's good (it's not), but because it's super cheap, has amazing battery life, is nearly indestructible (since there's almost nothing inside), and there's literally nothing else on the market in its niche. But if I want to actually _type_ more than a couple words, I grab something else. The Logitech is only used for launching videos on the living room television.
Honestly with the money Logitech has, I can't believe they haven't just straight up acquired a mechanical keyboard brand that people in the hobby already enjoy using and can be built to a higher standard.
I'm still waiting for companies to make a silent / broadcast keyboard. It's been twenty years since anyone last made one, they SAY they do, but they're bloody loud.
My dad had myme pick something for black friday last year for my birthday, and although I pucked the razer huntsman optical instead of analog, it's still very great* (besides the software on my 12 year old pc), the design was subtle with the name across the bottom, freely changeable lighting, binding and performance despite the awkward price, and the addition of swapping switches if I really wished. Logitech's board feels like a direct copy of analog board, but being nearly worse then one even I own. I think the main benefit of this would be how compact it is with the side wheels in addition to good lighting and maybe ok response times (though wired) or click feel, but still it feels like a dated keyboard releasing in the current era. My assumption is that they had ideas of releasing and 60% but forgot years ago and are just trying to compete with the better more sophisticated brands. I'm still convinced that they only knew what they were doing years ago when making stuff like the g502 and other peripherals back then. In fact their bigger older boards are prob cheaper and give better performance for the price.
Hypio, I beg you! Please review the AttackShark K85, it's a budget hall effect keyboard with a ton of "stock mods", this thing is insanely good, it frigging thocks! It has factory lubed switches and stabilizers, and there is very little stem wiggle(to me at least), and the best of all: the stabs, brooo the stabs are something else, no rattle, at all, this thing is solid! Specs: 80% ANSI layout(sadness for me that uses ISO derived layouts) PC plate Silicone Gaskets(superb performance btw) KNOB North facing RGB LEDs, big sad(specially because it uses double shot PBT with not shine-through) Please review it, it's great for the price!(best bang for buck I have seen) Love, bye!
That reminds me - Has Hipyo tried the Coolermaster Masterkey keyboards yet? Had a secondhand one for a few years now - I've modded it to have a USB-C cable and now I've moved over to using Keycron keycaps... and I wish I'd moved over to the keycron much MUCH sooner. They feel so much nicer, sound better (they've killed the 'ping' it used to have completely). That and I'm enjoying how much closer the tops of the keycaps are. But - all of this was done for about a quarter the price of the Logitech (it even has macro settings).
The sad thing is for the around same price you can get: Drunkdeer A75 (75% Hall Effect Rapid Trigger Hotswap) Steelseries Apex Pro Mini (60% Hall Effect Rapid Trigger) Razer Huntsman 75% (75% Optical Switch) Wooting 60HE Logitech should just really stick to mice when it comes to gaming stuff, they got that at least close to nailed down. Despite taking a while to implement USB C onto their flagship, hid 4k Polling until a year into the products lifecycle, and put probably the most horrendous PTFE skates I have ever felt onto a mouse.
How 179$ is ok for just a keyboard?! I literally bought decent 65% red mechanic (hot swap,blue backlight) keyboard for just 12 bucks from discount!! And yes it sound and looks amazing.Some people are stupid enough to buy those trash overpriced things instead buying good value/performance gadgets
@@SaintsPurgatory oh, that explains it. Our retailers still have them in stock here in the Philippines and I don't know how they do it but I bought mine for as low as $100. It seems okay and everything still works fine (and I say this because there is some reason to suspect that these may be refurbished models as I heard early iterations of them had issues on release). It seems like people didn't know much about them as they are still in stock over here and I've been trying to find videos about how to properly mod it which also seems hard to come by.

So the really cool thing about Logitech software, is that the new control panel doesn't support older devices, which means you need to have the old Logitech control panel installed for those devices.
Sounds like a minor inconvenience?
Well, you can't have both installed at the same time. You get to choose either the newer devices, *or* the old ones. So if you have an old racing wheel and a new mouse, you're SOL.

i just found it, looks like it is YUNZII AL71
I just dont know what they were thinking, marketing remapping keys as a feature is crazy
its the key feature of that board
Perhaps Logitech's main mistake here was attempting to make a _keyboard._ Like, the kind people use for gaming and/or serious typing. What they excel at is making glorified television remotes, not daily workhorse keyboards.
gaming keyboards dont exist they just market normal keyboards with rgb and low form factor like the custom keyboard industry hasnt been doing this for years and tcustom accel at being a keyboard more than anything big companies will advertise
@@slapp3r439 this take held true before modern analog keyboards like the wooting became a thing
Logitech fall off is crazy, at this price wooting clears
What keyboard did you bring in at 15:30? Love the sound of that one :)
Im interested in that one as well
i need to know as well

Best Hipyo video of 2024 so far, this keyboard screams $40 amazon special.
That might be a bit generous considering the prebuilt Epomaker TH80 Pro is on sale for $45 rn. I'm very new to the hobby, but as someone who has been scouring Amazon very recently looking for the right budget board to start my custom journey with, it feels like we are actually starting to get solid budget offerings, especially when you factor in sales. This keyboard honestly gave the vibes of those unnamed, near-permanently marked down boards you see listed for $20-$30
This is not a keyboard for enthusiasts, Logitech don't care about them, this is not their target. They aim for average "gamers" with extra bucks to spend, people that don't even know you can customize a keyboard
The point is that the quality is bad for a "pro" and "expensive" keyboard. You can get more quality out of your money with non-gaming mechanical keyboards
For a company that makes my favorite mice it’s amazing that they can’t make at least a decent keyboard
thats why complete brand loyalty is dumb. some people feel the need to get every peripheral from one company, and they end up with probably half their stuff being overpriced junk and some stuff just overpriced for no reason but it has gaming or pro in its name.
Honestly they have no competition when it comes to mice. Some other company might be able to make better mice but none seem interested in trying. You have Logitech, the default mice that come with their respective brands and tons of nameless Chinese products. That's it
@@strayiggytv Tbh the "nameless chinese products" pretty much caught up with the big boys now when it comes to the mice. And they evolve much much faster than the dinosaurs like Logitech and Razer. Logitech released GPX2 with a big fanfare recently, and it's basically just a GPX1 copy with USB-C and 2000MHz polling rate. And they spent years making it. Brands like Lamzu, Pulsar, Vaxee and others are releasing tons of great mice frequently, around half the price, full of latest tech, 8000MHz sensors, optical switches and encoders, super light weight, hot swappable switches etc. Logitech is living off their past fame, but they aren't the inovators in the mouse market anymore either.
I've had nothing but bad experiences with logitexh mice. My g305 and g903 both had double click. Somehow a used g502 i got off ebay still works but that's it
their membrane keyboards for office work are good. mx keys. also their keyboard cases for ipads have very good typing feel. have not tried their gaming keyboards though.
i would LOVE a video on your mouse! my partner has been looking for a new mouse and yours looks really awesome so i'd love to learn more about why you love it!
What Logitech is for keyboard enthusiasts is what Bose is to audiophiles.
i bought 2 Bose products in my lifetime, both convinced me to NEVER buy anything from that brand ever again
I would trust Logitech to make the remote control for a Bose stereo... but I wouldn't want to _type_ on it.
Beats.
@@kornar its crazy how apple puts their name on that garbage like it still amazes me why people still buy that garbage
@@slapp3r439Beats and apple are actually fine for audio now. The best bang for buck? definitely not. But recent airpods are considered pretty good by many reputable reviewers.
Hey Hipyo, new fan here! What was the keyboard you presented at 15:20? Just started to become obsessed with my keyboards lately and I want to own my 3rd soon :P
Oh, damn … in Germany, it is even more like $215 (currency converted) … ahhhh … rip. That really hurts to see.

@18:26 What is the keyboard on your chest? The clear one
after watching this i would say if you are buying this you are probably a gamer , so i would suggest just get a wooting for that price point !
Same, I have plenty of customs, nothing games competitively like my 60he and as a huuuge plus you can actually customize it all the way, and wooting themselves teach you how to do most of it
Facts, purchased and returned my pro x 60 in favor of the wooting 60he+
Any feedback on Keychron? Its supposed to be a legit high end manufacturer but what I got seems scammy. Ill check out woote, thanks
I wish this man also ran a gaming channel. I could listen to his voice and his commentary all day, I love it
HAHA: "I don't like it when my keyboard makes sounds when I'm not typing on it."
This is literal self-sabotage on part of Logitech. This is enough to make me never want to buy a Logitech keyboard ever again.
Would like to point out that the keyboard case is cheap trash that you can buy premade with customized logos for about 1000 buckaroonies for 100 pieces or there about. You essentially start with a flat sandwich that gets heat formed, to which then they either glue or use a shoe type sewing machine to sew on the zipper. The whole op is less than 5 minutes per case and can be done with stuff you have at home you so desire.
The infinite scrollwheel of 502 is something I couldn't live without, hopefully mine will survive until their patent expires because Logitech only has like 3 options with it. Need more competition to choose from!
I don't understand. Several other mice have this feature. Like my Razer Basilisk v3
Keychron m6 that came out somewhat recently has it. Logitech has been officially dead to me since getting one. Multiply g502 and mx master, reduce to weight to 80 grams and sell it for $50. That's what the keychron m6 is.
@@ze_or Nice, although not sure if I could make do without the macro buttons of 502. But that does indeed have the mechanical button for it, wonder how they're getting around the patent. Since from my understanding the patent is still active for few years. (to the end of 2026 I believe)
@@ze_or I own both G502X and Keychron m6. m6 is nice and light but the software is awful, you can't change profile without opening the software, there is no button to change profile on the mouse. Beside that m6 have fewer keys than G502 that didn't help because there is no layers (or the equivalent of G-shift) on m6. The scrollwheel unlock button on m6 is really nice though due to the short travel distant, I never unlock the wheel on G502 because the button is hard to press.
@@hanley6478 I usually don't change my mouse bindings and just rebind forward/back on the app i'm using instead, so I can't really relate personally, but I see where you are coming from. Would've been really cool if keychron mouse could come with vial or something.
"I want a switch puller, a key cap puller" Custom boards have given me nothing but garbage. Thanks for not shipping more garbage with the board.
"Look at the wobble" Yeah. Less wobble than the Wooting XD
$180!? You could build two sick custom keyboards with this money.
You could get a wooting for that money
@b0mberr330 Yep. And in the world of gaming keyboards, Wooting reigns king with very few remotely close competitors.
You could buy a blank GMMK and a set of keyswitches and keycaps for less than that. Hell even a prebuilt GMMK costs $160 so what are they smoking?
@@Shyvorix I agree on wooting performance but unfortunately non hot swappable keyboards are unusable to me because the only keyswicthes I find tolerable are Kailh pinks with jades on the larger keys. I grew up with IBM bucking springs so quiet / soft keytswitches are intolerable to me and even cherry and gateron tactile switches feel yucky. The kailh pink / jade is the closest mechanical switch I've found to a bucking spring.
And those wouldn't be missing half the keys.
A few months ago I bought a CoolerMaster SK622 60% keyboard, as I wanted to have a teeny mechanical keyboard to bring along to LAN parties and such. Considering I just needed WASD+Space for 90% of the games I played, it's done the job quite nice. While I was watching this video, I was comparing the Logitech to my CoolerMaster, and the only thing I envied was the carrying case and the volume slider on the side. Everything else was leaps and bounds better than the Logitech, and my CoolerMaster only cost $90 USD (But I got it on sale for $59)
I'm sorry you had to pay this much for a coolermaster keyboard. For that much money you could have gotten a luck65 that has features you would have only seen on 300 or 400+ dollar keyboards 5 years ago, but now those kinds of custom keebs can be had for 60 bucks. Insane value if you ask me.
Epic video, its cool seeing how far Hipyo has come. Would love to see more Steelseries next!

First pro of this keyboard:
It's available in non american layouts.
It's got way better latency than Keychron's keyboards do
So there is a reason to get it over others, even over keychrons.
Latency is an argument I see brought up a lot, but in practice most keyboards have an acceptable latency for the majority of gamers and most people won't tell the difference
@@HipyoTech pro gaming gear has been chasing latency beyond human perception and performance for a long time. optical switches on keyboards and mice exist just for this reason. also they have longer lifespan because there is no mechanical contact and abrasion.
if your focus is gaming, you get a wooting and not this trash.@@haomingli6175
I have Logitech G613 lightspeed and I have a RK84PRO. I cannot tell the difference between either and I'm playing Apex Legends with them. Granted I prefer my Wooting 60HE for Apex for Super Glides but the difference in latency is not noticeable unless I swap to BT. I've been able to pull off Super Glides with both. If you HATE Keychron there are plenty of other options like Nuphy and Lofree.
keychron is also available in non american layouts.
The kendrick lamar verse cutaway was great lmao. Fun fact, kendrick lamar's disses are copyright free

This is pretty on par with most mainstream keyboards. I'm so glad people like you are out here on RUclips talking about this. Keyboards could be so much better than they are today, and these big manufacturers could do SO MUCH MORE. Instead, let's just keep supporting these smaller keyboard makers that are pushing out amazing products!
Own mx mechanical and I am surprised that pro x 60 is such downgrade. If someone only considers logitech keyboards, just go with mx. It is little bit cheaper, full size, does not rattle and upper part of case is metal.
I use the MX mechanical TKL. And it’s fantastic. I was using an Anne Pro 2 before, and I that thing feels awful in comparison.
I have the MX Mechanical Mini since almost a year and it's amazing.
I just bought the MX Mechanical Mini and it's really awesome. it's built like a tank and feels great to type on.
Razer has some mice with the infinite scroll now too. Just thought I'd leave that here for anyone that wants options lol. (It's a little different not being on a bearing but using some fero fluid tech instead, but it feels and functions similar enough)
Loving the Focal Bathys cans. Got them too, they’re awesome
Best wireless headphones hands down!
Dude Logitech built up a great reputation for their mouse, they made the Superlight and every pro was using it, and instead of saying “alright team let’s stay competitive, let’s stay innovative, let’s reach out to esports pros and ask what they like about our products, what they don’t” instead they said “Big payday time boys, let’s release the cheapest pieces of garbage from 5 years ago and charge 2024 premium prices cause since pros use our nice everyone thinks we’re good and we can cash out on our reputation” I got bad news Logitech, everyone sees through your bullshit. Tragic that this company probably could have gone so far but has clearly given up to cash out on their reputation. Screw them
Thing is, most people don't know what a good keyboard is. They see 'mechanical' in the name and automatically assume it's just good. At most people understand the actuation distance and force and just rely on that spec sheet. In reality, a keyboard is much more than that, in fact, I'd argue that it's primarily NOT that.
Such a shame. I loved their G915 TKL keyboard so was expecting more. I def wanna see you react to their build video though 😂.
5:23 G502 hero is an amazing mouse. Love the extra buttons, the software, and the infinite scroll wheel.
The issue with a big company doing mechanical keyboards that are good enough for enthusiast is repair/replacement costs.
The “standard” hot swap system is great, but it is something that is hard to “automate” to mass produce and they are prone to ma factoring errors where the socket is not 100% aligned and so they pop off when the user installs a switch….meaning they face a choice to either have a generous refund policy or to have angry customers. It just makes sense to try to come up with a “new and innovative” switch system.
What I’m getting at…they just won’t be able to make something that is cheap enough to hit the “mass market” represented by people who want a good keyboard for gaming but has the quality expected by a keyboard enthusiast.
That plays a role, but in reality they just want to maintain their obscene margins and play it safe with what has historically worked really well.
@@HipyoTechYeah, for example Polar65, drunkdeer a75 pro, and Boog75 are all hotswap and much better quality than this, along with hall effect switches which are infinitely better for gaming.
@@Tendeethose are all Chinese brands which probably pay their workers even less that Logitech pays their Chinese workers. So many of the rando Chinese keyboard brands are able to be very nimble in their home market and get good deals on parts. It's why when they make a key board everyone loves half the time it sells out and they never make it exactly the same way again.
@@strayiggytv The different batches of the zoom75 are still just as good though?
@@Tendee i mean I assume they are. Only way to know would be to open them up and see what the quality is in the inside.
They designed this with professional controller players
So true
I had Logitech g413 with tactile switches and there also bump was absent. In topic of gaming keyboard do you plan review new Keychron Q1 HE?
I think the last time Logitech ever tried to innovate in any field was when Spartacus led a slave uprising against a Roman Empire.
6:04 YES. We seek cringe.
honestly, i think "designed for pros" is such a generic claim that anyone with common sense would realize means nothing; it doesn't really set any longer of expectation
Kinda weird that after making the G915, they make this. The G915 is overall a solid keyboard.
You have never tried a real keyboard then lol
True I’ve had my 915 for 5 years now and it’s still doing a good job. If I ever buy another keyboard it might be the Rainy75
@@AbiPrasad sorry, mine are all out of ginger bread
@@AbiPrasaddude the g915 has the best flat keys i have ever felt or seen, thats due to the thin switches they have and the body us full aluminum, the mechanics of it feel amazing thats honestly their only solid keyboard
The g502 x plus lightspeed is my favorite mouse of all time, which of course it is because the g502 x and normal g502 were my favs b4 it. It makes playing games that require tons of keys like Destiny 2 SOOO much better. That infinite scroll wheel is great as well.
I returned my G502X Plus, absolute downgrade from the OG G 502 LS. Switches were awful sounding very hollow and the pinging was on another level, palm grippers will hate it because they didn't bother to taper the sharp angles where your palm sits and the scroll wheel is worse. On one hand, it is noticeably lighter I just bought another g502lightspeed instead. It'll last another 5 years, hopefully Logi will come back with something good by then. Been using their mice since G5 days.
I am looking forward to these keyboards when they eventually go on Sale.
Back in 2022 I bought a G Pro Keyboard for $20 at target. Those normally go for $120, so I expect these to go on sale at some point for similar prices, because at $40, its probably worth it.
Nah bro I wouldn't pay nore than 20 for this thing, 40 is too much.
The full metal plate being stiff can be a redeeming feature. Stiff (can feel more responsive) vs Flex (I've definitely had boards feel sluggish and too flexy)
Hi Hipyo! What was that other keyboard at half the price of the G60? Also, cool headphones, what headphones are you using?

You set your expectations a little high when reviewing a $170 keyboard.
As you should be
This company made a name for itself among '90s geeks, but back then, the field was uncharted, and every piece of junk seemed like a marvel. But today, junk is just junk, and this company keeps churning out nothing but junk! I can't understand how it hasn't disappeared from the market 20 years ago.
Their wireless mice have been a sign of the direction the company was going for awhile now. They started using switches rated at a different voltage than the batteries, which was causing their infamous double click issue, and then gaslit their customers saying that it wasn't an issue with the mouse and people were reading too much into it.
I can't say I'm even a little surprised with how this keyboard went.
Hipyo! Can you please make a video on rating foldable keyboards, good mechanical keyboards to travel with and traveling cases?
"They say that it's terrible, but none of them have actually tried it." Isn't that just a normal day on Twitter?
off topic but I love the ghostly "ooooeeehhhh yeeaahh" during each chapter change
I built a custom keyboard for my client for 70$ and it's much better, than this Logitech...
I actually would appreciate more companies dropping the Keycap/Switch pullers from their box. I do not need another pair, I already have too many
What an impressive keyboard! Whenever i type on this keyboard, it creates a marvellous booming sound that makes people thought I'm carrying a machine gun, making them no longer wish to mess with me again. Great job done!
As any performer on Only Friends knows: "It's all about having and using the right lube in the right amount, in the right places to ensure the best camera angles as your audience's fingers slide across the key caps" Right? The Pre-lube of the switches is a fan service!
I've tried optical switches and currently use them on my daily driver (Hunstman Tournament Edition), but they took so much getting used to. Took me a few months to really get used to the actuation points especially since it actuates BEFORE the click... it doesn't have the same forced feedback as your standard set. However I think some of these companies are marketing optical as 'gamer' due to how highly sensitive they can end up being, and that is such a bad reason to give it the 'gamer' tag. It kind of makes the keyboard harder to really use (esp if you need to smash a key) until you get used to the very sensitive and rather high actuation point (it's way further up then you'd think so spamming the key like a normal switch does nothing as it thinks you've still depressed the key). I can only assume this has similar flaws, and pair that with the price tag and cheap materials? Yikes.... I think mine was closer to $80 at the time. I can see why everyone is calling it a scam. Logitech really messed up here. Not to mention proprietary switches for that cost? Insane.
Throw in the rgb as it seems that's all you need for a 'gamer' keyboard.
LOL love your roast! Hate it when companies come up with products that NO ONE needs! What were they thinking??!?!?! What a waste of corporate energy and resources.
I have in front of me a 60% mechanical keyboard, made with premium materials, replaceable optical switches, configurable layout, spare keycaps in the box c/w keycap puller, switch puller and spare switches. It's Bluetooth (three different devices) and USB C. The keycaps are double shot and high quality. Nice configurable RGB and also features customisable macro's etc via free app included. Switchable between Windows and macOS configurations (with corresponding keycaps, i.e 'Option' instead of 'Alt' etc) Oh and it was twenty quid on Amazon.
Funny that the sample photo of a college is where I'm literally working right now - but in a different building. Davidson College.
As someone who's worked at a company that has become more and more corporate over time, I can definitely say that big corporate companies have a really hard time meeting enthusiasts where they are. They can't really wrap their corporate mainstream brains and processes around super niche wants and needs because everything kind of has to fit into their top-down approval process. And a lot of the times, most of the people making the decisions are people who are focused more on numbers and their own personal preferences than what the target audience actually wants, which is sad.
15:40 what Keyboard is this? It sounds really nice...
Appreciate the feed back on this one, as a Logitech fanboy I know to stay away from the ''Pro'' X 60, both my sons use G915 tkl's, and I have a G710+, Although I feel this thing is still here mainly for nostalgic reason 🤣🤣 great vid Hipyo
If you are resting your pinky on the case and not on the shift key while gaming you are MENTAL (completely agree with the rest though)
I rest my left 5, 4, and 3 fingers on the side case when I'm typing or coding. I hover over ESC and ALT-TAB. Without resting on the side, hovering would wear the hand out quicker. I suppose it might be the same for navigating the game UI.
As someone who bought the G910 tkl wireless - and loved it - having since then delved deeper into the custom keybaord era and areas - I have seen the glaring disparity on quality that logitech has taken. The rattley keycaps - when I got it i was placebo'd into it because of the price I was paying and the combo that I got. I have since moved on from it (which i feel really ashamed to admit because I did love the keyboard initially, the low profile keys, wireless that never failed and the layout and tactile style of it) and then - Ive found myself ive bought 4 boards since, a mix of custom and prebuilt with different styles etc (switches, build material etc)
PS - wish I had kept my previous boards for your Boardwalk - traded them into my local cash converters cus i needed stuff to fund - oh well there go the Steelseries and Corsair keyboards I had laying around as 'spares' hehheh..ahhaah...hahaha...spares....keybaords...hahahah
The Razer Basilisk also has the infinite scroll wheel. It also has a better center of mass, and Razer's Software isn't Ghub, because Ghub is the worst driver software I've ever used, especially compared to the thing it replaced, LGS.
When Logitech replaced LGS with Ghub, I basically tossed all of my logitech peripherals.
Also side-note, as someone who would have been considered a "Pro Player" at one point, Pro gamers know how to play the game genre they're good at. They do not know anything about game design, or product design, or engineering, and asking them to design a mouse/keyboard/game will naturally end in disaster.
GHub is OK rn, really good software after multiple updates. but razer software maked me go crazy because it so shitty designed for like win8 or something like that, and also it very laggy for me, so i sold my razer mouse 💀
@@zxcghoul but why are you using windows 8 in 2024 its like 10 years old at this point

Hippo, if you didn't know, logitech has many mice that feature the infinite scroll wheel(I too find this feature a must have) such as the MX master 3 and the MX anywhere 2 and/or 3 and the the non-gaming 502 and/or 501 mouse plus several others.
Personally I love the same mouse you have in this video but my personal favorite is the MX master 3s or whatever the silent edition version is called. The mouse click is completely silent which i find really nice plus its a bonus to have in a work environment.
I feel the only thing its missing is a small rgb accent added to it such as an underglow feature, that would be absolutely stunning imo.
What mods are done to that keyboard at 15:30 ish? Sounds amazing
Yunzii/Womier Sk71 check out his vid on it!
Thanks for this video. I thought that looked cheap from the first time I saw it.
Thanks for proving my hunch right!
I gave up on Logitech when my 5, and 6 numpad lights died. Lost the color green. On my G815 keyboard.
I contacted them about it, and they said that since it was out of warrenty there was nothing they could, or cared, to try to do.
Since it was just 'buy a new keyboard or else' from them, I went and bought a Steelseries Apex 3 TKL, and love it.
Wish you could review one of these too. =) I like your vids.
I also dropped the logitech mouse, and got a razor. Still has the rgb I love.
16:41 you give me giant dad flashbacks there.
I have a Logitech keyboard+touchpad thingy that I'm pretty happy with. Not because it's good (it's not), but because it's super cheap, has amazing battery life, is nearly indestructible (since there's almost nothing inside), and there's literally nothing else on the market in its niche. But if I want to actually _type_ more than a couple words, I grab something else. The Logitech is only used for launching videos on the living room television.
Honestly with the money Logitech has, I can't believe they haven't just straight up acquired a mechanical keyboard brand that people in the hobby already enjoy using and can be built to a higher standard.
If you claim warranty from Logitech, they can be unfriendly.
I'm still waiting for companies to make a silent / broadcast keyboard. It's been twenty years since anyone last made one, they SAY they do, but they're bloody loud.
You can build one anytime you want to. Just sayin.
Just cause a company has a ton of money doesn't mean they don't put out trash.
Finally a keyboard reviewer and youtuber that has their honest, brutally honest opinions instead of throwing something down.
@HipyoTech What keyboard did you hand her after? I love how it sounds 15:23
Yunzii/Womier Sk71
My dad had myme pick something for black friday last year for my birthday, and although I pucked the razer huntsman optical instead of analog, it's still very great* (besides the software on my 12 year old pc), the design was subtle with the name across the bottom, freely changeable lighting, binding and performance despite the awkward price, and the addition of swapping switches if I really wished. Logitech's board feels like a direct copy of analog board, but being nearly worse then one even I own. I think the main benefit of this would be how compact it is with the side wheels in addition to good lighting and maybe ok response times (though wired) or click feel, but still it feels like a dated keyboard releasing in the current era. My assumption is that they had ideas of releasing and 60% but forgot years ago and are just trying to compete with the better more sophisticated brands. I'm still convinced that they only knew what they were doing years ago when making stuff like the g502 and other peripherals back then. In fact their bigger older boards are prob cheaper and give better performance for the price.
Hypio, I beg you! Please review the AttackShark K85, it's a budget hall effect keyboard with a ton of "stock mods", this thing is insanely good, it frigging thocks! It has factory lubed switches and stabilizers, and there is very little stem wiggle(to me at least), and the best of all: the stabs, brooo the stabs are something else, no rattle, at all, this thing is solid!
Specs:
80% ANSI layout(sadness for me that uses ISO derived layouts)
PC plate
Silicone Gaskets(superb performance btw)
KNOB
North facing RGB LEDs, big sad(specially because it uses double shot PBT with not shine-through)
Please review it, it's great for the price!(best bang for buck I have seen)
Love, bye!
That reminds me - Has Hipyo tried the Coolermaster Masterkey keyboards yet?
Had a secondhand one for a few years now - I've modded it to have a USB-C cable and now I've moved over to using Keycron keycaps... and I wish I'd moved over to the keycron much MUCH sooner. They feel so much nicer, sound better (they've killed the 'ping' it used to have completely). That and I'm enjoying how much closer the tops of the keycaps are.
But - all of this was done for about a quarter the price of the Logitech (it even has macro settings).
I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the g502 and the g502x redesign
The sad thing is for the around same price you can get:
Drunkdeer A75 (75% Hall Effect Rapid Trigger Hotswap)
Steelseries Apex Pro Mini (60% Hall Effect Rapid Trigger)
Razer Huntsman 75% (75% Optical Switch)
Wooting 60HE
Logitech should just really stick to mice when it comes to gaming stuff, they got that at least close to nailed down. Despite taking a while to implement USB C onto their flagship, hid 4k Polling until a year into the products lifecycle, and put probably the most horrendous PTFE skates I have ever felt onto a mouse.
How 179$ is ok for just a keyboard?! I literally bought decent 65% red mechanic (hot swap,blue backlight) keyboard for just 12 bucks from discount!! And yes it sound and looks amazing.Some people are stupid enough to buy those trash overpriced things instead buying good value/performance gadgets
the kendrick lamar transitions 🤣
Hipyo, I never seen you review any of the Mountain modular keyboards. I just got the Everest Max which I absolutely love.
Most retailers do not stock them and the ones that did did not re-stock them once they got rid of them. Should tell you all you need to know.
@@SaintsPurgatory oh, that explains it. Our retailers still have them in stock here in the Philippines and I don't know how they do it but I bought mine for as low as $100. It seems okay and everything still works fine (and I say this because there is some reason to suspect that these may be refurbished models as I heard early iterations of them had issues on release).
It seems like people didn't know much about them as they are still in stock over here and I've been trying to find videos about how to properly mod it which also seems hard to come by.
