> 3 dayThis is the only wireless clicky keyboard in tenkeyless format available right now. No, this keyboard doesnt use Cherry switches, so I dont see how it justifies this price point. Its surprisingly heavy. I dont care for the light show features. This keyboard support two types of connections: Bluetooth and Lighspeed. What sort of genius decides its a good idea to differentiate these two modes with a SINGLE COLOR LED. So you gotta tell the difference between light blue cyan for Lightspeed and dark blue for Bluetooth. Ironically the keys can display all sorts of colors, which is completely useless. Bluetooth pairing is a nightmare. Especially if you try to switch devices. The instruction says turn the keyboard on and cycle to Bluetooth connection and it would flash quickly. Well it doesnt flash. It shows solid blue. or, is it light blue? Who knows. The only way I can get it to flash blue for a short period of time is to push and hold the connection button after the LED goes dark. The other connection option is the wireless dongle: Logitech Lightspeed. I dont do gaming, so Id rather have a Unifying receiver instead. As far as I can tell, if you lose the USB Lightspeed receiver, youre in trouble. Where as Unifying receivers can be replaced and can connect to many devices. Pros: It clicks fine. Tenkeyless. Cons: connection indicator light is terrible. Bluetooth pairing. No standard Unifying receiver. Pricy. Heavy. The wristpad is a joke. I had high hopes for this keyboard. Its usable after connection is done. I hope better clicky wireless tenkeyless comes in the market in the future, because this keyboard is a disappointment. For now, Ill keep this keyboard until a better one comes along. Bottom line: unless youre a keyboard collector like me, I dont recommend it.

21-11-2024This keyboard is beautiful. The keys sound great and are very satisfying. The seamless color flow of the lights is wonderful. The wireless option is very nice for when you wanna lean back and relax while doing some light gaming or watching Twitch/YouTube. The wrist rest is a nice and very important bonus. My only issue was the price tag. Be prepared to drop a pretty penny, but I suppose the build quality is worth it in the end.

> 3 dayI love this set! I switched from a wired mouse and I really like the wireless mouse more! It gives you more freedom and it lasts hours without having to be charged! I definitely recommend this mouse and keyboard if youre looking to size down (Due to the number pad being removed). Very sleek and compact set!

> 3 dayAs the title says, and I’ve been through all kinds of brands. The weight and feel of it is topnotch! Plus it is wireless so no pesky wires all over my desk now. I’ll try to remember to give an update in a few months since I’ve only had this keyboard for a couple of days. Let’s see how it lasts.

> 3 dayI bought the keyboard and mouse and I love it. The lights are pretty and it feels nice. It has a plate on top that makes it easy to clean when you pull it up. The volume button is a cute roller that’s nice too!

> 3 dayBest Logitech keyboard so far imo, options for Wireless and Bluetooth is nice, although I will mostly be using it wired. The sound of the keyboard is nice and solid, not very loud at all on the GX brown (tactile), keys feel nice. Aesthetically pleasing.

> 3 dayIts a pretty good keyboard. Hard to get it wrong really... Youve seen one TKL board youve seen them all, ya know? The only things setting this one apart are the wireless functions and dedicated media controls up top, with the volume roller. No FN layer means there is no need to memorize what key does what when you change caps. I am aware there is an FN key on this board but Im ignoring it for my usage. Probably for macros anyway. Also the volume roller is backlit, but not the G logo (theres a magnet behind it holding the face plate on so its forgivable). Also the spacebar only has the one LED. Custom spacebar users beware. Seriously. They advertise SIXTEEN LEDS for the perimeter lighting, but cant spare two more?? There are cheaper boards with the dedicated media controls and the roller, but they either dont come in tactile/clicky, are low profile (incompatible with keycap collections), lack wireless connectivity or are from some brand with shady software that I wouldnt trust on my computer. I was going to get the G915 TKL until I saw this one. A little bit less in price, but will cost more when buying the new faceplates so... huh. Anyway, I share my computer with my wife who instantly recommended this board. Being confident in my masculinity, we went for it. Now I know she just wanted the cloud palm rest. Something I wish I knew about the switches: The listing calls the tactile option GX Brown. Brown switches, even non-cherry, have always had 45g actuation force across the board- BUT NOT THESE. They felt super stiff when I got the board and thats because its 60g to get the bump, another 50g to register. A quick scan of the listing didnt show this information anywhere. Use that one search engine and youll get a hit from Logitechs own website with charts and stuff. A two hundred dollar purchase should warrant such research so... Cant get too mad. Im still taking off a star because of this and the single LED under the spacebar. Wireless Connections: Everything just works. The dongle doesnt have any noticeable input lag, nor does the bluetooth. Also I checked to see if the keyboard works with the cable only and it does. An interesting thing to note is that while in bluetooth mode, some lighting options are disabled. I dont know what other limitations are present in bluetooth mode but its worth knowing. Also, G Hub recognizes the keyboard in all three pairing modes. Software for other unnamed wireless keyboards Ive had only recognize wired mode. Yuck. Quality: There is no creaking when bending, there is no deck flex and the keycaps are reasonably thick, instead of the paper thin ABS seen on other big brand boards. Still, I tossed them in a bag and put on my own immediately upon receiving. Also invest in double sided tape or rubber grippy feet if you want to use the cloud palm rest, it slides all over the place. Speaking of which the palm rest is surprisingly comfortable for being so thin. Its made of that fake leather stuff and its so cute my wife already confiscated it for her own usage immediately upon coming home and seeing it. Price: Yes its a bit high, but its a gaming keyboard. You dont NEED it and there are cheaper options that do an arguably better job with completely different gimmicks. Also the palm rest is 35 bucks alone and Logi has to recoup the cost of all those LEDs somehow. If you like the aesthetics and have a credit card, you cant go wrong. You do you, dont listen to the haters.

> 3 dayI love this keyboard! Its aesthetically pleasing and its really high-quality. The wrist rest is super comfy as well! The only downside is that it is pricey for what it is. But if you can afford it, I would highly recommend.
