Logitech continues to bolster their presence in the pro gamer space with various peripherals the latest being their new G Pro Mechanical Keyboard. This new keyboard was developed in partnership with various eSports athletes to ensure the G Pro keyboard becomes the weapon of choice for pro and non-pro gamers alike. Check out some pics of the new keyboard along with some key features and Logitech’s press release.
Key Features
● Romer-G Key Switches: Logitech’s exclusive Romer-G mechanical switches are purpose-built for professional-grade performance, responsiveness, and durability. With a short-throw actuation point of 1.5 mm, Romer-G switches register key presses up to 25 percent faster than standard mechanical switches. Designed to enhance gameplay, Romer-G switches offer the perfect blend of speed, precision, and quiet performance.
● Compact, Durable Design: The Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard features a compact tenkeyless design, making it easy to pack for tournament travel and freeing up tournament table space for low-sensitivity mouse movement. Durability is built into every component of the keyboard and reinforced by a steel back plate that adds stability and rigidity during gameplay.
● Detachable Cable System: Considering how much time pro gamers spend on the road, it’s imperative that their gear stands up to the rigors of travel. Unplugging the detachable Micro-USB connector ensures that the cable won’t break at the connection point when bouncing around in a travel bag. And the three-pronged design features support arms for an easy, secure data connection.
● Customizable RGB Lighting: Using Logitech Gaming Software (LGS), players can personalize each individual key light from a spectrum of more than 16.8 million colors. LGS integrates with more than 300 games to deliver a unique experience in each new game. You can even save a lighting pattern to the onboard memory on the keyboard so it’s available for use in competition on PCs that don’t have LGS.
