Pros & Cons

Pros

✓ GX Blue clicky switches give audible, tactile feedback on every keypress
✓ 5052 aluminum-magnesium alloy top case resists flex during heavy keyboard use
✓ Per-key RGB across ~16.8M colors, tunable in Logitech G HUB
✓ 1 ms report rate keeps input latency low for fast-paced games
✓ USB passthrough port runs off its own cable for full power and data speed

Cons

✗ Renewed unit, not new — expect cosmetic wear and no factory-fresh packaging
✗ GX Blue clicky switches are loud, a problem for shared rooms or voice chat
✗ Needs two USB ports since passthrough uses a second dedicated cable
✗ Full-size layout with no detachable cable eats desk space and packs poorly
