Logitech G512 X mixes analog and mechanical switches
TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Logitech launches the wired G512 X gaming keyboard with 39 hybrid slots for mixing analog Hall effect and 3/5-pin mechanical switches. It offers 75-key or 98-key layouts in black/purple or white/turquoise for $179.99-$199.99, launching May 2. TMR sensors enable dual actuation and rapid trigger on analog keys, with easy swapping and onboard storage.

Logitech launches the wired G512 X gaming keyboard, which lets users mix-and-match analog Hall effect and mechanical switches across 39 hybrid slots.

The company claims these slots work with almost all popular analog switches and 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches. It comes in a compact 75-key layout or a larger 98-key version, in black with purple accents or white with turquoise accents. Both launch May 2 for $179.99 and $199.99, with preorders available now.

TMR sensors in the analog switches enable up to two actuation points per key for customized input registration, plus rapid trigger that resets keys without full rebound. Logitech states the second actuation point delivers a tactile response during presses.
Users can store extra switches on the keyboard's back. Analog features like dual actuation and rapid trigger deactivate with mechanical switches swapped in, but the design allows easy reversion.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.

Tesla and SpaceX confirm Terafab chip fab in Texas

Tesla and SpaceX have confirmed Grimes County, Texas as the site for their Terafab semiconductor megafactory, with the first phase costing roughly $16.8 billion. The project targets the largest chip manufacturing facility on the planet to supply over 1 terawatt of compute per year that exceeds current and future global production capacity.

OpenAI Urges Federal Judge to Throw Out Apple's Trade Secrets Complaint

OpenAI has filed a motion asking a federal judge to dismiss Apple's trade secrets lawsuit, describing the claims as meritless. The dispute, which follows a July suit and this week's injunction request from Apple, highlights tensions after their prior partnership on Siri and OpenAI's hardware push.

Meta introduces Muse Code, its terminal-based coding agent

Meta has released an early beta of Muse Code, a terminal-based coding agent driven by the updated Muse Spark 1.2 model and positioned against Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex. Substantially lower rates, including a contributor plan at $0.10 for every million tokens received, may encourage migration away from higher-priced options such as Anthropic's Sonnet 5.
