Logitech G has launched the PRO X2 RAPID, a wired magnetic keyboard designed for competitive gaming. This release matters because it brings 8kHz polling and ultra-fine Rapid Trigger adjustments to a compact form factor. Gamers looking for faster response times in tactical shooters will find this layout practical for their setup.
