Logitech has in it G316X and the G305X SUPERLIGHTtwo peripherals designed mainly for gaming, although after several weeks with both on the table, alternating writing, browsing, editing, daily tasks and gaming sessions, we have verified that they function with the same ease in the office and respond well during a full day in front of the computer. Right out of the box, the white finish, blue details and construction convey solidity and maintain an elegant and non-strident aesthetic.
G316X
The G316X uses a 98% format which retains virtually all the keys of a complete model, including the number pad, but reduces desk space. This layout is especially convenient when working for long hours with text or numbers and also leaves more free surface area to move the mouse. The body conveys robustness and the double-injected PBT keys have withstood these weeks of intensive work well. The white color completes a set that combines very well with the G305 X SUPERLIGHT.
Logitech uses here a gasket mounting with internal damping. The result is perceived when typing, with a comfortable touch and a lower noise level than we usually associate with many mechanical keyboards. The switches They are hot swappableTherefore, they can be replaced without disassembling half the keyboard or resorting to welding. We have used it for entire days of writing and, even after several hours, it maintains comfortable typing thanks to the good spacing between keys and a layout that hardly requires any time to get used to.
It also incorporates a control wheel and a small dot matrix LED display with which it is possible consult information and control certain functions without having to constantly resort to G HUB, plus key-configurable LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting and a 30-zone bar that looks especially good in low light, although its intensity can be reduced to maintain a more discreet appearance.
He also responds by playing
Its polling rate reaches 8 kHz via cable and, after testing it with different games, the response has remained fast and accurate at all times, without noticeable delays or strange behavior. The G316
G305X SUPERLIGHT
He G305X SUPERLIGHT It accompanies the keyboard very well both in size and finish, and its nearly 60 grams are especially appreciated after several hours in front of the computer or when it is necessary to store it next to the laptop and take it outside the home. Inside it incorporates the HERO 44K sensorcapable of reaching 44,000 DPI and 678 IPS. These benefits They are mainly oriented towards competitive playalthough during daily work the sensor also offers precise movement and immediate response.
During these weeks we have mainly used the Bluetooth connection, which has worked correctly, without interruptions or notable problems. We have not been able to verify the performance using LIGHTSPEED because the necessary adapter did not come with the unit provided for testing, so that section is left out of our assessment. Also supports USB-C connection and exceeds 130 hours of autonomy on a full charge.
Management of both peripherals can be done from the application Logitech G HUBwhich allows you to control the lighting, sensitivity, buttons and other options and, although at first it is advisable to spend a few minutes getting familiar with its menus, later it is easy to save preferences, change the mouse DPI or modify the keyboard lighting without wasting time.
In summary
After several weeks of using them together, the G316X and the G305X SUPERLIGHT have left us with a very positive impression both during work and play sessions, thanks to a solid construction, elegant design and stable behavior throughout the testing period. The keyboard works especially well for hours of typing and responds quickly in games, and the mouse is comfortable, precise and very easy to carry with a laptop. The white finish and the blue details complete a set with a clean and elegant aesthetic that looks just as good on a work desk as on a gaming-oriented one and that, after weeks of use, we still like it as much as the first day.
