Owners of the G Pro X TKL wireless keyboard are divided on its hot-swap switches and report hollow-sounding keys, but value its wireless connectivity

What owners complain about

  • Hot-swap confusion SOME

    Multiple owners discovered the switches are only hot-swappable with Logitech's own branded switches, not standard aftermarket ones. One commenter expressed dismay that they couldn't lube the switches, another planned to solder third-party hotswap adapters onto the PCB as a workaround.

  • Hollow, rattly sound SOME

    Owners describe the board's sound profile as 'very hollow and rattly' at around the 5-minute mark of a review, and note that Logitech does not pre-lube their switches. One owner directly compared it unfavorably to a $45 Keychron C3 Pro with red switches.

  • PlayStation incompatibility FEW

    At least one owner reported the keyboard does not work on their PlayStation, which was a surprise to them.

  • Quality control duds FEW

    One owner received a non-functional unit out of the box but reported the replacement worked flawlessly both wired and wireless, suggesting occasional dud units.

  • Switch availability FEW

    Owners struggle to find specific switch variants, with at least one commenter asking where to get the red switch version, indicating limited retail clarity around switch options.

What owners love

  • Wireless works well

    An owner who received a replacement unit confirmed it works flawlessly both plugged in and wireless via the Lightspeed receiver, praising the core connectivity.

  • GHub compatibility on Mac

    One Mac owner noted that GHub works fine on macOS, alleviating concerns about cross-platform software support.

Surprising patterns

  • Owners are going to extreme lengths to modify the keyboard — one planned to solder Kailh hotswap adapters onto the PCB and, if that failed, resort to mill-maxing the entire board just to use standard aftermarket switches.
  • There is genuine confusion even among viewers about whether the switches are hot-swappable at all, with one person insisting the website says they are while others say they are not — the reality being they only accept official Logitech-branded switches.

WHO SHOULD SKIP IT

Buyers who want to use standard aftermarket switches or who care about sound quality and switch lubing should skip this keyboard, as the hot-swap is restricted and owners report a hollow, rattly sound compared to cheaper alternatives.
