Logitech brings adjustable actuation to its gaming keyboards and mice

Adjustable actuation is what helps you to select a customized “set off” level for every key, and it’s the buzziest characteristic in gaming keyboards. Logitech is hopping on the practice now, even when it needed to do loads of jogging to catch up. The most recent model of the G515 keyboard, now with magnetic switches, is christened the Speedy TKL—and it’s transport now for $170. Ouch.

The G515 Speedy TKL seems an entire lot like the prevailing G515 designs, with a particular low-profile tenkeyless structure that’s simply 22mm tall. Every a type of “analog” switches might be adjusted at 0.1mm increments within the journey (right down to 2.5mm complete), together with “speedy set off” capabilities, a characteristic that many aggressive avid gamers need. (Razer calls it “snap faucet,” in the event you’ve heard that one.) Two totally different features might be sure to every key at totally different actuation factors.

Different options embody keycaps made out of premium PBT keycaps (“Good,” says my interior keyboard nut), a metal prime plate, and a whole lack of wi-fi. Which may really feel like a step backwards for a top-of-the-line design, however adjustable actuation switches can drink down loads of battery energy. Even so, it’s an omission that hurts with a keyboard this costly.

Logitech additionally introduced new gaming mice. The Professional X2 Superstrike contains a “haptic inductive set off system,” which Logitech says is a mix of adjustable actuation within the mouse swap and speedy set off capabilities. That’s a lot of buzzwords, however the expertise beneath makes use of copper coils to generate an electromagnetic subject with a 0.6mm swap that may be user-adjusted at 10 totally different factors, together with speedy set off reset.

What does that imply for PC avid gamers? Along with adjustable actuation factors on a mouse—which looks as if one thing that’s nearly inconceivable to really feel to me, however I haven’t gotten this factor in hand—Logitech says that the mouse can cut back click on latency by “9 to 30ms.”

Different highlights for the wi-fi, shooter-style mouse embody Logitech’s 44,000 DPI Hero 2 sensor, 90 hours of battery life, and eight,000Hz polling. The mouse is 60 grams, impressively gentle for all that tech.

Be ready to pay for it. The Professional X2 Superstrike mouse will price a hefty $180 when it launches within the first quarter of 2026.
