Logitech G512 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with LIGHTSYNC RGB, GX Switches and USB Passthrough

Wired RGB Mechanical Keyboard for Gaming

The Logitech G512 is a full-size wired mechanical keyboard built for competitive play and long typing sessions. A 5052 aluminium-magnesium top case forms a rigid, non-slip chassis. Per-key LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting runs from seven onboard effects or from Logitech G HUB profiles.

Three GX switch profiles cover different feedback tastes. GX Blue delivers a tactile bump plus an audible click, GX Brown gives a quieter tactile bump, and GX Red offers a smooth linear stroke. Every profile carries a 70 million keystroke rating. Actuation sits at 1.9 mm with 50 g of force and 4 mm of total travel.

A dedicated second USB cable feeds the front passthrough port, so a mouse, phone or flash drive pulls full power and data speed. The 1 ms report rate plus 26-key rollover with anti-ghosting keep multi-key commands accurate under load. Windows 10, 8.1, 8 and 7 all run the board without extra drivers.

Why Choose G512

• The alloy plate and 1.13 kg frame stay planted on a desk during fast input, which suits shared workstations and gaming benches alike.

• Three switch profiles let procurement standardise on one chassis while matching feedback preference per user.

• The front USB port removes a hub from the desk and keeps a mouse or phone charging at full current.

• Onboard profiles travel with the board, so lighting and macro settings survive a move between machines.
