Know before you buy
The G512 features Logitech's proprietary GX mechanical switches. These are designed to provide a tactile and responsive gaming experience, though the specific feel—such as clicky, linear, or tactile—depends on the specific version of the switch you choose.
The keyboard includes a dedicated USB 2.0 port on the back of the chassis. This allows you to plug in a mouse, headset, or flash drive directly into the keyboard rather than reaching for your PC tower.
Yes, the keyboard uses Logitech's LIGHTSYNC technology. You can customize the lighting effects and colors for individual keys or the entire board using the Logitech G HUB software.
The G512 is officially designed for Windows operating systems. While it may function for basic typing on other platforms via USB, advanced features like LIGHTSYNC customization require the G HUB software, which is only available for Windows.
The G512 is constructed from an aluminum-magnesium alloy, which provides a rigid, premium feel and significant durability compared to standard plastic keyboards. It is designed to withstand heavy daily use while maintaining a stable, non-slip base.
The G512 does not have dedicated media keys. Instead, you can control media playback and volume by using the Function (FN) keys in combination with the F-keys.
