Product description
The 75% layout keeps the Logitech G316 X 75 compact, leaving more room for mouse movement while preserving a practical keyboard setup for gaming and everyday tasks.
An 8 kHz report rate supports quick signal transmission, while hot-swappable linear switches let you customize the keyboard’s feel. Double-shot PBT keycaps add another way to personalize your setup.
A built-in dial and animated dot-matrix display put controls for report rate, volume, brightness, and media playback within easy reach. LIGHTSYNC RGB adds adjustable lighting to your desk.
Practical tips
Connect the wired keyboard to a PC using the included USB-A-to-USB-C cable. For settings such as LIGHTSYNC lighting, macros, game mode keys, and key assignments, use Logitech G HUB. The dial and display provide onboard access to report rate, volume, brightness, and media controls, so you can adjust those settings directly at the keyboard.
The compact 75% format is useful when desk space matters, especially if you want more room for mouse movement without switching to a smaller keyboard layout. For a typical gaming session, the linear switches and wired connection make the keyboard easy to integrate into a PC setup, for work or programming, programmable keys and media controls add options for tailoring everyday use.
Why it makes sense
Instead of choosing a full-size keyboard that occupies more desk area, the G316 X 75 makes space efficiency part of the setup. Its 82-key layout pairs that compact footprint with practical controls and customization features, making it suitable for switching between games, media, and productivity.
The gasket-mounted structure combines silicone cushioning with sound-dampening foam layers for a quieter, refined typing feel. Hot-swappable switches make it possible to personalize the mechanical typing experience, while double-shot PBT keycaps offer a durable way to customize the keyboard’s look. Those features give players more ways to shape both the feel and appearance of their setup.

It’s a great fit if you value switch customization, adjustable RGB lighting, and a smaller desktop footprint in the same wired keyboard.
