Overview Summary

Description

The Logitech G316 X 98 is a wired mechanical gaming keyboard built around a compact 98% layout that retains the functionality of a numeric keypad while reducing the space required on the desktop. The Black finish gives the keyboard a clean gaming-focused appearance, while the mechanical design provides a defined tactile response for both gameplay and regular typing.

This model uses tactile mechanical switches with an actuation distance of 2.2 mm plus or minus 0.4 mm, an actuation force of 55 g plus or minus 10 g and a total travel distance of 3.3 mm plus or minus 0.4 mm. The switches are rated for up to 20 million keystrokes and can be replaced using the hot-swap design without soldering.

For gaming performance, the G316 X supports report rates of 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, 4000 Hz and 8000 Hz. The 8000 Hz setting is designed to provide highly responsive input reporting for compatible gaming systems. Anti-ghosting and 26-key rollover help the keyboard register multiple simultaneous key presses during complex gameplay.

The keyboard also provides extensive visual and control features. LIGHTSYNC RGB offers per-key lighting, while the 30-zone light bar adds additional customisable illumination. The dot-matrix LED display can show modes, adjustments, Caps Lock, Num Lock and keyboard status. A multifunction dial provides convenient control of volume, media, key brightness and report rate.

The gasket-mounted construction and sound-dampening layers are designed to provide a smoother and more refined typing feel. The detachable 1.8 m USB-A to USB-C cable provides a wired connection to a compatible computer, while onboard memory supports storage of up to two profiles. Logitech G HUB software provides additional configuration options for compatible Windows and macOS systems.
