Buy the Logitech PRO X 60 LIGHTSPEED for competitive players who want maximum mousepad space and esports-focused buyers who also want to try different switches later, though it is not the pick for buyers who need dedicated arrow keys or a function row and anyone wanting adjustable actuation or Hall Effect switches. Our rating of the ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 (8/10): A well-damped, hot-swappable 96% board that proves numpad layouts can still sound and feel premium. Our rating of the Logitech PRO X 60 LIGHTSPEED (8/10): A rare wireless 60% board that doesn't ask esports players to compromise on polling rate or hot-swap flexibility.
