It offers USB passthrough connectivity for additional device or mouse plug-in convenience. It has full functionality keys including media controls, Game Mode toggle, and programmable macro support via Logitech G Hub software. Its wired USB connection delivers a 1 ms report rate for fast input responsiveness.

Performance Summary
In real-world use and in reviews, users find that the G512 Carbon GX-Red Linear delivers smooth, consistent keypresses thanks to its linear switch design—ideal for fast, repeated keystrokes in gaming and typing alike. The aluminum chassis gives the keyboard a solid, premium feel and minimizes flex under heavy use. The USB passthrough is a practical addition for connecting accessories. Some users note that the full-size footprint and weight make it less suited for highly portable setups, and without dedicated media keys (beyond function key combos) there may be minor trade-offs in convenience—but overall the experience aligns well with expectations for a reliable, high-value mechanical gaming keyboard.
Consumer Appeal
This keyboard is ideal for gamers, streamers or productivity-focused users who want a full-sized mechanical keyboard with responsive linear action, solid build quality and extensive RGB customization. If you game across fast-paced titles, type for extended sessions or value durability and customization, the G512 Carbon GX-Red Linear ticks those boxes. Its wired design suits desktop environments where reliability and performance matter most.
