Review: There is no denying there are hundreds of keyboards out there vying for your attention.
From daily use devices to specialised gaming equipment, the marketplace is saturated with hardware making a play for your precious time and money.
But as the budgets grow tighter amid the cost of living crisis, should you be spending over $400 on a new offering - that's smaller than most keyboards out there?
It's a tricky proposition for Logitech G's Pro X 60 Lightspeed keyboard - but given its commitment to quality, it's worth serious consideration.
Everything about the Logitech G Pro X 60 Lightspeed keyboard package feels minimal, yet also perfectly in tune with what you would need from a compact gaming device (that can also double as a day-to-day keyboard).
From the durable case that houses it to the satisfying clack of the keys right to its sleek and compact design, this is a device that knows exactly what it wants to do and how to do it.
The case means it becomes portable instantly - and for those who need to transport their devices, it immediately removes the fear of damage, dust in the keys, or water in the board. It's a simple touch, but one that shows that Logitech is looking to go the extra mile to satisfy customers.
With Bluetooth capability or the option to cable the keyboard up to your requisite devices, the key is simplicity and fast connectivity.
But all of that pales into insignificance if the keyboard itself isn't responsive.
After all, with a hefty price tag of just under $430, this is not a cheap piece of kit - and one that will come under pressure if it fails to deliver.
Thankfully, the responsiveness of the keys is more than adequate to fulfill the needs of any gamer and also anyone looking to use it as a day-to-day keyboard.
In truth it's more suited to gaming, as its compact nature means it's easier to work around the keys during a gaming session. From a volume wheel on the side to button mapping, Logitech has gone for elegance - and while the mapping of different buttons takes a while to get used to, thanks to how sleek it looks, it's easy to invest the time to make it work.
The battery life is also impressive. Logitech promises somewhere in the region of 50 hours, meaning it could go for a normal gaming session easily, or transfer to consistent use throughout the week.
It has the ability to be personalised to your own preferences as well, even if that means switching between 'Gaming' and 'Normal' mode from just a button's touch.
Maybe the keys are a little noisy for some people - and certainly in open-plan offices the novelty of the 'click-clack' may ultimately wear off, but given most gamers are usually plugged into headphones, this is an issue that will largely be ignored by its intended audience.
When it comes to gaming, this ultimately is a piece of kit that screams simplicity of use and really does see Logitech stake its claim in a somewhat crowded arena.
Perhaps the price point could have been dropped, but if you're looking for functionality, this one scores highly.
If you're willing to forego dollars for more top of the range gear (certainly something suggested by the inclusion of the case and its quality), this is a piece of compact gaming hardware you can't afford to be without.
