Reporting from 1 sources: GAME Watch (Impress).
Logitech G will release the G316 X 98 wired gaming keyboard on July 16, 2026, priced at 19,580 yen. The entry-level G3 series model features linear hot-swappable switches, a gasket mount structure, 8,000Hz polling, a dot-matrix display, and LIGHTSYNC RGB. Pre-orders are open at the Logitech store, Amazon, and Rakuten.
The G316 X 98 is the latest addition to Logitech G's entry-level G3 series, a line that typically prioritizes affordability over advanced internals. This model breaks that pattern by including a gasket mount-a vibration-damping layer between the plate and case that reduces noise and gives a softer typing feel-and a maximum wired report rate of 8,000 Hz, which cuts input latency in fast-paced games. The keyboard ships with linear switches and supports hot-swapping, so users can replace switches without soldering. A dot-matrix display on the top right shows system status, and the LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting is programmable. Two color options, black and white, will be available. Pre-orders are already live at the Logitech official online store, Amazon, and Rakuten ahead of the July 16 launch.
