Logitech G512 Carbon RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Red Switch Black

Carbon aluminium frame with red linear switches

The Logitech G512 Carbon is a wired mechanical gaming keyboard built around GX Red linear switches. An aircraft-grade aluminium top plate gives the deck a rigid, low-profile feel while the per-key LIGHTSYNC RGB backlighting offers full colour customisation through Logitech G HUB software. A USB 2.0 pass-through port on the rear lets you plug in a mouse or headset adapter directly at the keyboard.

Competitive typists and RGB enthusiasts

Linear red switches suit players who prefer smooth, consistent actuation without a tactile bump or audible click, making the board equally viable for fast-paced shooters and long typing sessions. The 104-key ANSI layout includes dedicated media controls and a game-mode toggle accessed via the function row. Buyers who want a tactile bump, clicky feedback, wireless freedom or a compact form factor should look elsewhere.

USB 2.0 connection with pass-through convenience

A single USB 2.0 cable carries both data and power for the keyboard and its integrated hub, so no extra power brick is required. The short 0.3 metre tail is designed to reach a nearby port on the PC or a monitor hub, keeping cable clutter minimal. FN-key macros and lighting profiles are stored on-board once configured in G HUB, letting the keyboard retain your setup on any compatible Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 machine without software running in the background.
