"Logitech's new wired G512 X model attempts to settle the debate by letting you mix-and-match them as you please. The company claims that 39 of this model's switches are compatible with 'almost all' popular analog and 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches."
"The marquee feature of its TMR sensors is that they enable up to two actuation points per key that trigger at various points during your key press. This depth in customization is useful in games where you need to be delicate and sometimes swift with your inputs."
"These TMR switches also support rapid trigger, which quickly primes them for another input without needing the keys to fully spring back up. Those features go away when you swap analog switches to mechanical switches, but it's nice to have the flexibility to go back if you want to."
"The hybrid switch bed set the G512 X apart from the competition, and it has the potential to become a popular feature in gaming keyboards moving forward."
