Logitech G Pro X2 Rapid Review: Fast Esports Keyboard With a Plastic Build at $229.99

The main feature is Logitech’s custom KS-20 POM switches, which are made by Gateron and use contactless Hall effect operation, according to TechRadar. The review says users can set actuation depth from 4mm to 0.1mm in 0.05mm increments, including per-key settings, so movement keys can be made very sensitive while other inputs remain more deliberate. TechRadar said the rapid trigger setting lets users adjust the reset point and can nearly remove delay between rapid inputs, making strafing feel more precise after adjustment.

The keyboard also supports key priority, which TechRadar describes as a way to determine how almost simultaneous inputs are interpreted by key travel or a chosen override. The review warns that the feature is banned in some competitive titles, including Counter-Strike 2, and can lead to automated server kicks, so it should be used with caution.

A small vertical OLED display sits on the far right above a button and scroll wheel. TechRadar said the wheel controls system volume by default and the button opens a menu for actuation point, rapid trigger, key priority, RGB lighting, and game mode settings, but the review found on-device adjustments fiddly compared with Logitech G Hub software. Settings can be saved to the keyboard’s onboard memory, and the review suggests most pro players would prefer to configure them in advance.

TechRadar lists an optional 8,000Hz report rate and a physical game mode switch that disables the two Windows keys by default. The TKL layout is compact, and the keyboard comes in Black, White, and Magenta. The review says key presses feel smooth and sound good, and typing feels pleasant.

The review criticizes the all-plastic exterior at a price where most gaming keyboards above $100 use metal faceplates, and it questions the rubbery plastic USB Type-C cable instead of a braided one. TechRadar also calls the built-in display less useful than expected and the wrist rest poor. It concludes the G Pro X2 Rapid is not for everyone but is a great pick for competitive players who will use its specialist features and can accept a wired, plastic build.
