Logitech G512 — High-Performance RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
The Logitech G512 is a minimalist, high-performance mechanical keyboard that features an aircraft-grade 5052 aluminum-magnesium alloy top case for incredible durability and a sleek, premium look. Equipped with advanced mechanical switches (GX or Romer-G), the G512 offers a tactile, linear, or clicky experience tailored to your playstyle. With its integrated USB Passthrough port, you can connect your mouse, flash drive, or phone for high-speed data transmission and charging right at your fingertips.
To customize the per-key LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting from a palette of 16.8 million colors and program your custom macros, installing Logitech G HUB is highly recommended. The software allows you to synchronize lighting effects across all your Logitech G gear, set up dedicated “Game Mode” profiles to disable unnecessary keys, and fine-tune the function keys (F1-F12) to execute complex commands with a single stroke.

? FAQ
Why does the G512 have two USB connectors?
One USB connector is for the keyboard data and lighting. The second connector (marked with a different icon) is a pass-through for the dedicated USB port on the back of the keyboard. You must plug both into your PC if you want to use the keyboard’s USB port for other devices.
Can I change keycaps on the G512?
If your G512 has **GX switches** (Blue, Red, or Brown), they use a standard Cherry MX-style stem, so most third-party keycaps will fit. However, if your model has **Romer-G switches**, it uses a proprietary mounting system, and you must find specific Romer-G compatible keycaps.
How do I control media if there are no dedicated buttons?
The G512 uses the **FN key** combined with the F-keys for media control. For example, FN+F9 is Play/Pause, FN+F10 is Stop, and FN+F11/F12 control volume. You can also use G HUB to toggle “FN Inversion” so the F-keys act as media keys by default.
