Logitech G Pro or Corsair K65 Rapidfire

Hydra453 · January 20, 2019

Both seem awesome, and please don't respond with 'DuCkY Is BeTtEr qUaLiTy', i just want to know if Logitech G PRo or K65 rapidfire is better.

I like MX Speeds, but the G Pro switches also have a good actuation at just 1.5mm, but Speeds are at 1.2mm. I hope speeds don't cause me to make typos.

Actuation distance is basically all marketing. The actuation time difference between 1.2, 1.5, and even 2 mm actuation distances is on the order of 5-10 milliseconds, your reaction time is by far the slowest part of the whole system.

A shorter actuation distance in theory would increase "speed" but I personally can't tell he difference, do note that the Logitech G pro uses a proprietary b3k keycap mount, which means you won't be finding many replacement or 3rd party key cap sets, and it doesn't help that the caps included are of sub par quality (Lasered abs), the romer g switches are a light tactile switch, the tactility isn't very sharp or pronounced and is even weaker than mx brown (which is already weak af). The K65 with speeds does use cherry mount however, has a non standard bottom row, which may be an issue, it also comes with sub par keycaps (lasered abs as well)
