Since the start of the beta for Founders of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn on April 22nd, more than 20,000 players visited Pinkwater station — now, Owlcat Games has shared a trailer breaking down what players were up to. The team has also collected feedback from the community and published a blog post addressing some of the planned improvements coming to the game.
Currently, the beta has attracted more than 21,000 players who have accrued an estimated 2.5 years of playtime, with 125 days of them spent in open space. The preferred specialization was officer, with more than 60% of players choosing this over hacker. Players were also very generous with their bullets, more than 60 million of them — with about 2.8 million successful headshots. This also led to more than 380,000 bodies now floating in space…
Players who want to add to the body count, or experience the space combat praised by media and community, can still join the beta by purchasing Miller’s Pack or the Collector’s Edition on the website. The beta will stay open until launch.
Owlcat has also used the beta to collect important feedback from the community and has published a blog post detailing some of the improvements the team has planned for the game.
Players and press expressed their love for the atmosphere, the third person shooter mechanics, and the spectacular space combat. However, there are also aspects identified as needing improvement: for example, players were not happy with the male protagonist and his brother’s voice, so now the team is looking for a new voice for both of them. Updates include changes to combat, animations, tone, and more, with the full details listed here.
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn will launch on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG, and on console via Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Fans can wishlist the game now.
You know what? I think we might have finally reached peak “keyboard tinkering.” For the longest time, you either bought a standard mechanical board or you went down the rabbit hole of custom DIY kits that cost as much as a used car. But Logitech just dropped the Logitech G512 X series, and it feels like they’re trying to offer a “tasting menu” for everyone who wants the fancy pro features without needing a soldering iron. Honestly, it’s a lot to take in at first glance. It’s bold; it’s colorful; it’s unapologetically “gamer.”
I spent some time with both the 75% and the 98% versions, along with that glowing acrylic palm rest. Here’s the thing: this isn’t just another keyboard. It’s a hybrid experiment that might just change how you play, though it definitely has some quirks that might make you tilt.
Why Does It Look Like a Sci-Fi Prop?
When you first pull this out of the box, the “cyberpunk” aesthetic hits you right in the face. Logitech went for ridged plastic flanks and these bright purple or teal accents that really stand out. Some people on Reddit are already complaining that it looks a bit like something from a Walmart toy aisle. I get that. If you’re used to the clean, brushed aluminum look of the old G512 Carbon, this is a massive departure. But you know what? I kind of dig it. It feels like a piece of gear from a neon-soaked future.
The 75% version is perfect if you’re a low-sensitivity gamer who needs a mile of desk space for mouse flicks. It’s compact but keeps the function row, which is a life-saver for actual work. The 98% version (or the 1800 layout) is the one I gravitated toward. You get the numpad, but it’s squished together so it doesn’t feel like you’re typing on a surfboard. Just a heads-up, though: if you use the “0” key on the numpad by muscle memory, you might struggle. It’s a small key here, not the big double-wide one we’re used to.
The “Dual Swap” Magic and Those TMR Sensors
Here is the real meat of the board. Logitech is using something called Tunnel Magneto Resistance (TMR) technology. I won’t bore you with the quantum physics of it, but basically, it’s a way for the keyboard to know exactly how deep you’re pressing a key. Most “pro” boards use Hall Effect sensors, but TMR is supposed to be even more precise and use less power. Hall Effect sensors have been known to “drift” after long periods of time, whereas TMR is apparently immune to this degradation.
But here’s the twist: they didn’t make the whole board analog. Only 39 keys on the left side (up to the U, J, and M keys) plus the arrows have these TMR sensors. Logitech calls this “Dual Swap.” It means you can keep your nice, “thonky” mechanical switches for typing, but swap in the included Gateron KS-20 magnetic switches for your gaming keys.
Does it make a difference? Honestly, yes. In games like Counter-Strike 2 or Valorant, being able to set a “Rapid Trigger” where the key resets the instant you lift your finger is huge. It makes your character stop on a dime. I noticed my strafing felt way more responsive. You can even set the actuation point as low as 0.1 mm. That’s a “hair-trigger” if I’ve ever seen one.
Those Weird Little Silicone Rings
Inside the box, you’ll find five “SAPP” rings. No, it’s not a fancy jewelry collab. It stands for Second Actuation Pressure Point. You slip these onto the stem of your analog switches, and they give you a physical “bump” at a certain depth.
Think back to the old PS2 controllers. Remember how you could press the button lightly to walk and harder to run? This is exactly that. You can map a light press on “W” to walk in Red Dead Redemption 2 and a deep press, past that physical bump, to sprint. It’s incredibly intuitive once you get the hang of it. My only gripe is that Logitech only gives you five rings. If you want to set up a full “analog” experience for a flight sim or a racing game, you’re going to be wishing for a few more.
A Masterclass in “Not Losing Your Stuff”
Can we talk about the design forethought for a second? I am the world’s worst at losing keycap pullers. I have a drawer full of random cables and plastic bits, and I can never find the one I need. Logitech solved this in the coolest way: the feet of the keyboard are actually the keycap and switch pullers. You just pop them off when you need to swap a switch.
On top of that, there’s a little storage bay at the top of the board behind a translucent cover. It holds your extra analog switches and SAPP rings. It’s such a simple, human-centric touch. It makes the whole “modding” experience feel less like a chore and more like a fun little project.
The Build Quality Debate
Now, we have to talk about the elephant in the room. This keyboard is almost entirely plastic. For a board that costs $180 to $200, that’s a tough pill to swallow. If you press down hard in the middle, you can feel some flex. Compare that to something like a Keychron Q6 HE, which is a solid chunk of CNC-machined aluminum, and the G512 X feels a bit… light?
It’s also wired-only. No Bluetooth, no Lightspeed wireless. Logitech says this is because of the 8K polling rate (which sends data to your PC 8,000 times per second) and the heavy RGB lighting. They claim it would just eat through batteries. I get the logic, but in 2026, being tethered to a cable feels a bit old-school.
That Glowing Palm Rest
Then there’s the G512 X Palm Rest. It doesn’t come in the box, which is a bit of a bummer given the price of the keyboard. You’ll have to shell out another $40 or so. It’s made of solid, optical-grade acrylic with laser-etched patterns.
When you slide it in front of the keyboard, it catches the light from the front-facing RGB lightbar and glows like a neon sign. It’s spectacular in a dark room. But is it comfortable? Here’s the thing: it’s hard plastic. It’s not a soft, squishy foam rest. It provides great support and matches the angle of the keyboard perfectly, but it won’t give you that “cloud” feel. If you’re prone to sweaty wrists during a marathon session, though, the matte UV coating is a dream to wipe clean.
The Verdict: Who Is This For?
So, should you buy it?
If you’re someone who loves the idea of custom keyboards but gets overwhelmed by all the technical jargon, this is your gateway drug. It’s easy to use. The G Hub software makes visualizing your key presses simple. The “Dual Swap” system lets you experiment with analog tech without losing that satisfying mechanical feel for your daily typing tasks.
But if you’re a purist who needs a heavy metal chassis or you absolutely refuse to have a cable on your desk, you might want to look elsewhere. You’re paying a premium for the TMR tech and the “all-in-one” convenience.
Honestly, despite the plastic build, I’ve found myself really enjoying the Logitech G512 X. There’s something addictive about being able to “tune” your keyboard like a racing car. It makes the whole experience feel personal. And at the end of a long day, having a “cyberpunk Christmas tree” glowing on my desk just makes me smile. Isn’t that what a good setup is supposed to do?

Cathedral is a fully immersive project, tying in soundtrack and visual narratives from John Carpenter’s dreamscape. Inspired by a vividly cinematic dream he had in 2024, the story centers on an abandoned church in downtown Los Angeles that shifts from a forgotten building to the site of a waking nightmare.
It was so cinematic and vivid. I thought, ‘I have to score this.’ It’s kind of our first heavy metal album.
—John Carpenter
Especially designed as the soundtrack to the graphic novel, each track corresponds to a specific section of the book. The liner notes included with the album packaging feature prompts for each track, creating a fully interactive experience. Combined with the graphic novel, it’s the closest thing to a new John Carpenter film in years.
Pre-order the limited deluxe collector’s edition, featuring our Sacred Bones Exclusive Midnight Splatter, exclusive 7-inch of live recordings of “Lord of the Underground” and “Last Rites” captured at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles, a signed promo press photo and our Sacred Bones exclusive art variant of the Cathedral graphic novel.
Additional bundles include the Sacred Bones Exclusive Midnight Splatter vinyl + 7-inch, paired with the exclusive graphic novel variant, as well as the standalone LP editions on multiple color variants.
