Verdict

The Logitech G512 is a durable, full-sized mechanical gaming keyboard featuring a brushed 5052 aluminum-magnesium alloy top case, LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting (~16.8M colors per key), and a 1ms report rate. Available with GX Blue (clicky), Brown (tactile), or Red (linear) switches rated for 70 million clicks, it offers high responsiveness, customizable macros via G HUB, and an integrated USB 2.0 passthrough port. Main pros include a premium, sturdy build, excellent tactile typing, and intuitive software, while cons often include loud clicky switches (on Blue variant), no dedicated media keys (FN-driven only), no included wrist rest, and the requirement of two USB cables for the passthrough functionality.
