Logitech G Introduces PRO X Mechanical Gaming Keyboard With New Swappable Switches
Logitech G PRO Gaming Keyboard design, the new Logitech G PRO X Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is a one-of-a-kind competitive gaming keyboard offering gamers the number one thing they need to win - a keyboard that is customizable down to the mechanical switch used in each key.
Logitech G, a brand of Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear, today unveiled the Logitech G PRO X Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. This new keyboard features multiple switch types including Clicky, Linear and Tactile in a tenkeyless design to fit the needs of current and aspiring esports pros.
Designed to the exacting standards of the world’s top esports professionals, the PRO X gaming keyboard is built to provide esports professionals and competitive gamers with competition-grade reliability and features designed to enhance gaming without getting in the way.
“Gamers, especially pros, have different preferences when it comes to keyboard switches,” said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager, Logitech Gaming. “That’s why we wanted to design and build a new PRO keyboard that featured swappable switches. By giving gamers the ability to choose the right switch to match their style of play, we’ve delivered a new level of performance that is optimized for each individual’s unique needs.”
The new keyboard builds upon the pro-approved Logitech G PRO Gaming Keyboard’s space-saving tenkeyless design, making it easy to pack for tournament travel and freeing up table space for low-sensitivity mouse movement. In addition, a detachable Micro-USB connector ensures that the cable won’t break at the connection point when bouncing around in a bag and transported between events. The three-pronged design features support arms for an easy, reliable connection. The keyboard also features customizable RGB lighting which can be stored to an onboard memory profile.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G PRO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard comes in two variants which are expected to be available in October of 2019; the Logitech G PRO X Mechanical Gaming Keyboard retails for $149.99 with user-swappable GX Clicky, Linear or Tactile switches, and the Logitech PRO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with non-swappable clicky switches retails for $129.99. Packs of 92 replacement GX Clicky, Linear or Tactile switches for the PRO X keyboard can be purchased from LogitechG.com for $49.99.

What is the matter how keyboard connects to its cable? It is not the side of cable user inserts into computer.
Why are companies still opting to use micro-USB on new devices in this day and age... At this point for me, its a deal-breaker.

Micro USB cables break on the micro side very easily,, my xbox one pad has that connection and i have glued it in
I dont like the idea at all, either solder the cable directly or make it wireless

Or buy new one if you really like it in action. (I think they hope for that.)
Update: Also gamepad is one thing, but keyboard is completely another thing - it lays super stationary on the table.

I can't imagine breaking a USB port of any kind on a KB. I'd take USB-B over micro any day but it seems that they've killed off the B type connector.
