Logitech is expanding its G3 Series lineup with the G316 X 98 wired mechanical gaming keyboard, launching alongside the new G305 X Superlight wireless mouse. The keyboard will cost $119.99 and is scheduled to release on June 30, 2026. It will be available in standard black and white color options.
Logitech G G316 X 98 Specifications
The keyboard features a 98% layout, which includes a number pad while taking up slightly less desk space than a standard full-size board. It supports an 8,000Hz polling rate to lower input latency, a specification aimed primarily at competitive PC gamers.
Logitech offers two switch options at checkout: a tactile switch with a 2.2mm actuation distance and 55g of force, and a linear switch with a 1.9mm actuation distance and 40g of force. The board is hot-swappable, so you can replace the stock switches with standard cross-hatch stem alternatives later on if you want to change how the typing feels.
The G316 X uses a gasket-mounted structure and also includes internal sound-dampening layers designed to reduce metallic ping and create a more muted typing sound. In the top right corner, there is a dot-matrix LED display that shows system settings. You can use the physical dial next to it to adjust volume, media playback, brightness, and the keyboard’s report rate without needing to open any software.
The G316 X comes with PBT keycaps, which generally resist the oily shine that develops on cheaper plastic keycaps over time. For lighting, it has per-key RGB and a light bar with 30 customizable zones, both controlled through Logitech’s G Hub software. You also use G Hub to enable the 8 kHz polling rate, set up custom macros, remap keys, and configure game mode settings.
The keyboard weighs 880 grams without its 1.8-meter cable (920 grams with the cable) and measures about 15.1 inches wide by 5.5 inches deep. It connects to your computer via a standard USB-A port and is compatible with systems running Windows 10 or newer, as well as macOS 12 or newer.
