Its those LEDs that steal the show in this design.
Its easier to adjust the volume during more frantic moments, though, thanks to that extra headroom.
SteelSeries adopts a similar design, with the same flex-free results.
With a more frantic playstyle, positioning could get sloppy.
The main deck, however, is incredibly well built.
I did, however, notice the space bar starting to soften during the course of my testing.
The deeper thocc heard at the start of my process was accompanied by a lighter clack towards the end.
Logitechs Magnetic Analog switches can be configured to actuate at between 0.1mm and 4mm of travel.
Of course, as the name suggests, that all-important Rapid Trigger mode is also available here.
Its essentially a repeat-press shortcut that allows for incredibly fast debounce responses.
Most Hall effect keyboards use this feature.
SOCD controls are available as well, named Key Priority in Logitechs vocabulary.
In those milliseconds where you have both keys pressed, youd be going nowhere.
SOCD overrides your A input with D as soon as its actuated for an immediate change in direction.
Logitech combines its actuation point, rapid trigger, and SOCD controls in one menu, called Analog Switches.
Thats particularly handy for finer tweaks.
Like most Hall effect keyboards, this is a fully wired affair.
The way it runs put me off a little at the start of testing.
The first thing I noticed about this keyboard is its particularly soft bottom-out.
Im a fan of a softer clack, I love myAsus ROG Azothfor this pillowy response.
But theres a woolly feeling to these switches that sometimes makes typing feel a little heavier than it should.
Combined with a lack of energy from the top plate, it verges on feeling just a little mushy.
SteelSeries nails this intuitivefeelfor actuation points while also providing a comfortable everyday typing experience, though.
It should be noted that that heaviness never got in the way of super light keypresses.
That made for particularly speedy movements across Apex Legends and CS2.
Should you buy the Logitech G Pro X Rapid?
Its got better keycaps, a handy OLED display, and a less stuffy switch-feel in the hand.
Like most Hall effect keyboards, both Logitech and SteelSeries entries are wired-only.
If youre after a cable-free setup, the Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE is the way to go.
I tested SOCD and dual actuation mostly in Avowed.
