The Logitech G PRO X 60 is a compact (60%) wireless gaming keyboard that continues Logitech's G PRO lineup. It's Logitech's first compact 60% keyboard, a form factor that has grown in popularity with gamers. While it lacks a function row, dedicated arrow keys, and a navigation cluster, it provides more room on your desk for mouse movements and makes it much more portable than traditional full-size gaming keyboards. To that end, the G PRO X 60 also comes with a carrying case. You can buy this keyboard in one of three colorways and with either GX Optical Linear or Tactile switch options. You can also customize settings using Logitech's G HUB configuration software, which includes button assignments, custom macros, and RGB backlighting.
Our Verdict
The Logitech G PRO X 60 is an excellent gaming keyboard. It has good overall build quality and outstanding latency performance, making it well-suited for casual or competitive gaming. It also has full RGB backlighting that you can customize along with a range of other settings using the configuration software. Unfortunately, it has a fairly high profile, which can tire out your wrists during long gaming sessions if you aren't using a wrist rest. It also doesn't include a wrist rest, and Logitech doesn't sell a wrist rest to match its compact form factor at the time of writing.

Compared To Other Keyboards
The Logitech G PRO X 60 continues Logitech's G PRO X lineup of mechanical gaming keyboards. This keyboard offers features and gaming performance similar to the previous-generation Logitech G PRO X keyboard. However, it introduces wireless connectivity with Logitech's proprietary LIGHTSPEED receiver or power-saving Bluetooth. This keyboard also marks the first compact 60% model in the lineup. This makes it a good match for smaller desktop setups and provides more room for dynamic mouse movements. It also includes a carrying case, which makes it a standout option for LAN tournament players.
However, unlike the previous generation Logitech G PRO X, the new G PRO X 60 lacks a conventional hot-swappable PCB, which limits you to GX Optical Linear or Tactile switch options available at purchase. In addition to lacking hot-swappable switches, this keyboard also lacks notable quality-of-life features commonly found in many recent gaming models from other major gaming brands, like factory-lubed switches or sound-dampening material in the case. This compact model delivers outstanding wireless latency performance but offers little else to differentiate it from its competition.

The Logitech G PRO X TKL and the Logitech G PRO X 60 are similar wireless gaming keyboards in the same lineup. The G PRO X TKL is a larger model with an arrow cluster, navigation keys, and a function row. It also uses standard Logitech GX mechanical switches. The Logitech G PRO X 60 is a smaller model that uses GX Optical switches and performs slightly better overall.
The Wooting 60HE and the Logitech G PRO X 60 are compact 60% gaming keyboards. The Wooting is a wired-only model with better build quality and slightly better overall raw performance. Notably, it also uses hall effect switches that allow you to customize the actuation and reset sensitivity of individual keys. The Logitech, on the other hand, is a wireless model. It performs almost as well but is comparatively more straightforward and has standard optical switches.
The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless and the Logitech G PRO X 60 are both compact (60%) wireless gaming keyboards with excellent raw gaming performance. Overall, the SteelSeries has better build quality and uses hall effect switches, which allow you to customize the pre-travel and reset distance on individual switches. It also supports multi-device pairing, a feature the Logitech lacks. Comparatively, the Logitech is much more straightforward. While it has roughly equivalent raw gaming performance, it uses standard optical switches that don't allow you to adjust the pre-travel or reset distance of individual switches.

On the other hand, the Logitech G PRO X 60 is a wireless model with a smaller 60% form factor. It has slightly better overall raw performance and uses GX optical switches.
Test Results
This keyboard has a 60% compact form factor, which means it takes up considerably less space on your desk than a conventional full-size keyboard, but it lacks dedicated arrow keys, a navigation cluster, and a function row.
The dimensions of the keyboard in its included carrying case are as follows:
- Height: 6.7cm
- Width: 32.7 cm
- Depth: 14.9 cm
- Weight: 1.072kg
The Logitech G PRO X 60 has good overall build quality. It has a plastic bottom case and a visible metal top plate that holds the switches in place. It's very sturdy-feeling overall and doesn't flex.
The keycaps are made of PBT plastic, and the spacebar has included foam pieces and silicone pads installed on the plate below.
Four rubber pads on the underside do a good job of keeping the board in place while you type. The two flip-out feet also have rubber pads and don't slide around while extended.
The keys are reasonably stable while typing but wobble more than expected compared to similar gaming keyboards. The stabilizers on larger keys provide good overall stability performance, but they feel somewhat inconsistent. For example, the Enter key feels noticeably stiffer than the spacebar.
The Logitech G PRO X 60 has a pair of plastic flip-out feet that provide an additional incline angle.
This keyboard has a fairly tall profile and is most comfortable to use with a wrist rest, especially when typing for long periods. Unfortunately, there isn't a wrist rest included in the box, and Logitech doesn't sell a wrist rest to match its compact form factor at the time of writing.
This keyboard's PCB isn't hot-swapple in the conventional sense, but switches are theoretically 'replaceable.' You can remove the switches without soldering (Logitech has a manual that demonstrates how to replace switches on their website). However, Logitech doesn't seem to sell replacement switches at the time of writing, and the switches themselves have non-standard pinouts, so they aren't interchangeable with other aftermarket optical switches.
This keyboard has full RGB backlighting with individually lit keys. You can use the companion software to customize lighting effects and colors on a per-key basis.
This keyboard has impressive backlight clarity. The legends are clearly visible, with only minor obstructions on some keys, like the left Shift and Caps keys. Note that the white-only backlight setting has a noticeable blue-aqua hue.
This keyboard has a basic rubber USB-A to USB-C power cable. It doesn't retain any kinks from its packaging.
Logitech advertises that this keyboard has a 1500mAh battery that provides up to 65 hours of continuous use. They don't explicitly indicate the connection type or backlighting settings for this estimate, but we expect this to use a 2.4 GHz LIGHTSPEED connection with all backlighting turned off. Using a Bluetooth connection will provide better battery life at the expense of gaming performance.
This keyboard lacks dedicated macro keys, and you can't record macros directly on the keyboard with hotkey combinations. However, you can record macros to any key using the configuration software.
This keyboard has several extra features, including a Caps Lock LED indicator and a scroll wheel on the left edge of the keyboard, which controls media volume. On the top edge, there are dedicated buttons for both Bluetooth and Receiver connection modes, and both have their own LED indicator. A Game Mode switch on the right side also locks the Windows key by default but can be further customized in the configuration software to lock other keys. Lastly, on the bottom of the keyboard, there's a compartment for storing the USB receiver when it's not in use.

This keyboard delivers decent typing quality overall. The GX tactile switches have a satisfying tactile bump. Unfortunately, they aren't lubed from the factory and have a slightly scratchy feeling. Additionally, the PBT keycaps wobble somewhat and make faint rattling sounds. The stabilizers on larger keys offer reasonably good stability, but the experience isn't as consistent between different keys, and the Enter key is noticeably stiffer-feeling compared to the spacebar.
The Logitech G PRO X 60 emits fairly loud typing noises with the GX Optical Tactile switches on the unit we bought and tested. It's also worth noting that the sound of the stabilizers on larger keys is significant, and there isn't any internal sound-dampening material. You can also buy this keyboard with GX Optical Linear switches, which we expect to be quieter.
However, if you're concerned about noise levels, it's worth keeping in mind that the stabilizers on larger keys are still fairly loud, and there's no internal sound-dampening material inside the case, so we don't expect that choosing the linear switch option will make large enough of a difference to make this keyboard suitable for noise-sensitive environments.
We bought and tested this keyboard with GX Optical Tactile switches. You can also buy this keyboard with linear GX Optical switches.
The GX Optical Tactile switches have a moderate but satisfying bump to overcome before actuation. You can also buy this keyboard with GX Optical Linear switches. Logitech advertises that these switches have the same weight and total travel specifications. Still, as a linear option, they produce a smooth keystroke throughout without any bump to overcome before actuation.
The Logitech G PRO X 60 has outstanding single-key latency performance that's very consistent. It's very well-suited for playing games in any genre at a casual or competitive level.
This keyboard has excellent multi-key latency performance, making it a standout choice for playing any game that requires additional inputs while multiple keys are already being pressed and maintained.
This keyboard has excellent data transmission performance. It can send multiple keys per USB report and supports full n-key rollover by default. It can also fully take advantage of its 1000Hz polling rate without being bottlenecked by other latency elements.
This keyboard has an impressive 4-chord and 8-chord split delay, making it well-suited for playing rhythm games or other games requiring many simultaneous inputs.
This keyboard uses Logitech's G HUB software for configuration. It's fairly simply laid out and intuitive to use. It allows you to adjust a range of expected settings, including key mapping, RGB lighting, and custom profiles, including game-specific profiles.
You can also set a G-Shift key to toggle a secondary layer of commands. You can save custom settings to the onboard memory, so you don't need to have the software running in the background.
This keyboard is fully compatible with all major operating systems.
In Windows, there's a compatible software option available, and all default key functions work as expected.
For macOS, there's a compatible software option, and the F1-12 keys are accessed with FN+ hotkey combinations by default. The FN+N shortcut increases screen brightness, and FN+U decreases screen brightness.
The software isn't compatible with Linux, but all default key functions work as expected.
This keyboard is fully compatible with Android, iOS, and iPadOS. However, there isn't a compatible configuration software version for mobile devices.
All functions, including media keys and the volume wheel, work as expected on Android, iOS, and iPadOS.
