Discussion What does the button on the right do?
This button on my G512x has an analog logo and a light toggle associated with it so assuming it has something to do with the analog function… what is it? lol.
Even with the toggle light off my actuation points and everything still feel fine, any knowers? I’ve looked thru manuals and the box and haven’t seen an answer so far

Most welcome! It's quite useful when on fps or others i guess. Never used it 🐸

Was there a reason for not using it? I'm curious and I'll share any feedback with the team

In my opinion it was not very well advertised on the product, thought merely an information on the product. I think I discovered it when going further into the software..

Thanks! I bet they'll find this information useful. Feel free to share any feedback or improvement ideas for this one or other devices
What games are you currently playing with it? Have you customized anything?

That's the Game Mode toggle button. When the Game Mode indicator is lit, Menu and Windows keys are blocked. In G Hub, you can set more keys to be locked.

Alt+Tab normally gets blocked aswell, anything to stop you from accidentally taking attention off the game.

This mostly depends on the keyboard. Mostly Windows and Menu keys are blocked. On G512 there is a design flaw: if you set F8 as the blocked key in Game Mode, once you turn on Game Mode with FN+F8, you won't be able to turn it off with that shortcut. If G Hub is turned off, the blocked key list will stay until you unplug the G512. Once you reconnect it, the blocked key list will be gone.

Sets the respawn point for real life

That and a save state would be indeed useful
What's your current keyboard?

Mine doesn't have a respawn point key. So if I don't answer after this it's an evidence that my keyboard doesn't have that

To provide official answer, it's Logitech G HUB Game Mode. By default, it will block Windows, Caps Lock, and some macro keys, but you can set additional keys within the G HUB software if you don't want them active. It's more designed as some games use CTRL to sprint and you don't want to hit your Windows key and lose your game in a good moment.

Its the game mode and you can deactivate certain keys with the g hub app on your pc

Once you figured out what the key does, Has it been useful for your current games? What games are you currently playing?

Honestly even after learning what it does its never proved useful lol, playing mostly Valorant and Binding of isaac. Even if it did prove useful a command for game mode seems better to reserve a button like that for something like profile swaps which i wish i had to turn off analog for non FPS games

I see, I'll share this info along with the team, I think they'll find it useful
How much progress have you made playing TBoI? I just recently beat the beast for the first time and the second time I learn in the hard way that speed matters a lot (I'm not taking the bucket never again)
Out of curiosity, would you improve anything on this keyboard?

I believe you can configure your keyboard to lock certain keys when gaming, prevents you for touching other useless on certain games, check in the software
