1 / 7Logitech G G316 X 75 Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
The Logitech G G316 X 75 is a wired mechanical gaming keyboard with tactile switches, a compact 75% layout, and programmable RGB lighting. Its dial and dot-matrix display provide on-board access to media, volume, brightness, and report-rate settings, while G HUB handles deeper customization. The listing specifies an 8 kHz report rate, hot-swappable switches, and double-shot PBT keycaps. This compact layout prioritizes mouse room over a full-size keyboard footprint.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent about the keyboard’s dimensions and functionality: it calls the 75% format compact, but also calls it a “compact full-size keyboard” and claims it maintains full-size functionality. The listed 82-key count is provided, but the exact arrangement of omitted keys is not specified. The display’s lighting-zone count also conflicts, with one claim saying 30 zones and another saying up to 25. Confirm layout and lighting details if those distinctions matter. The explicit contents list names the keyboard, USB-A to USB-C cable, and user documentation. The 75% description mentions mouse swipes but does not confirm a mouse is included.
