Logitech G316 X 98 Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – Black

Compact Control. Game-Ready Performance.

The Logitech G316 X 98 combines a space-efficient 98% layout with the speed, customisation and satisfying feel of a premium mechanical gaming keyboard. Its near-instantaneous 8000Hz report rate delivers responsive input, while hot-swappable tactile mechanical switches let you personalise the typing experience without replacing the keyboard. A gasket-mounted structure and sound-dampening layers produce a smooth, satisfying feel and distinctive “thocky” sound. Dynamic LIGHTSYNC RGB provides per-key illumination and a 30-zone light bar, while the integrated dot-matrix LED display and multifunction dial place volume, media, brightness and report-rate controls within easy reach.
