Logitech G915 TKL Tenkeyless Lightspeed Wireless RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Low Profile Switch Options, Lightsync RGB, Advanced Wireless and Bluetooth Support - Tactile, White

TLDR: Wait for a sale or price drop unless you just need a wireless keyboard right now. Other than the price, its a solid keyboard. Pros: - Wireless capabilities - Bluetooth connectivity - Low profile (subjective) - Metal Body - Clean LED lighting - Dedicated media controls and audio wheel (the wheel feels great) - Immediate wakeup from inactivity Cons: - ABS keycaps - Price - Rattly Stabilizers (not too bad, probably wouldnt bother most) - Doesnt use cherry stems (no chance of custom keycaps) Thoughts: This is a really nice keyboard, but what keeps it from being great is the price. Starting with the keycaps, I dont know why Logitech still hasnt started using PBT yet. My copy has 16 keys with ever so slightly chipped bits that lets the lighting shine through. Luckily, theyre small enough that I have to deliberately look for them to notice, but still that shouldnt be an issue on a +$200 keyboard. On top of that, the switches are a unique design that doesnt use cherry stems, so you cant just throw on a different set of keycaps. I mentioned the stabilizers being rattly, but that could be me nitpicking from being used to keyboards that go the extra mile for that sort of thing. Theyre really not awful. Make no mistake, this keyboard doesnt have a custom feel. It feels very much like a production board which is to be expected, but that price rapidly approaches custom pricing. What youre paying for here is the wireless capability which is very nice, and a sleek look. Using it wireless is as easy as plugging in the dongle and switching on the board. Nothing to it. Bluetooth pairing is also very easy. Press the bluetooth button, turn on your device, set it to search for connections, type in the code, press enter. Switching between the lightspeed connection and bluetooth is very quick. Theres very little delay in the transition. This next bit is subjective, but I do really like the brushed aluminum implementation of the body. It looks really sleek and works with my setup nicely. The dedicated media controls are always welcome, especially the volume wheel. It operates VERY smoothly with virtually no side to side movement. I have to actually move it side to side to feel any movement, but you will never feel this with normal use. From a gamer standpoint, I really like the low profile keys and shorter travel distance. I never really saw the point in speed switches that have super high actuation points since you tend to bottom out anyway. A physically shorter key press is easier to perceive when needing to make quick presses. Conclusion: For most, Id say to wait for a sale or price drop. If you have a need or want for wireless and bluetooth capabilities in a keyboard, it does both flawlessly. The overall build quality is nice, but I wish PBT keycaps were an option. If the price were lower, Id easily recommend this as a 4 or 5 star, but any shortcomings are multiplied by the pricing.

Update #1 (12/13/2022): The keyboard still feels great after a week. I full charged it after I got it (12/05/2022) and about after a week of on (most nights constant sometimes minimal) use its now at 5%. Its not bad, definitely not the month worth that some people say, but also well within the advertised hours (something like 30hrs playtime). Its just the keyboard, dongle, and the wire in the box. The keyboard itself is super thin, I love it. Im glad I got the clicky version because it doesnt actually feel that clicky to me, I think its because the travel distance is less so its not nearly as a loud as a normal clicky would be. The dongle that the keyboard comes with is connected to a USB A female to micro USB B female. So you could just leave the wire that connects to your keyboard into the back of your computer and still have access to the USB port since it acts as a new adapter for your wire. So far Ive just attached the dongle to the micro USB A female and planned to take the dongle out when I want to charge. Im not a keyboard guy and I have only owned sub $30 keyboards so I dont think Im as picky as the others. This was definitely a splurge and I dont like spending money (especially for just a keyboard) but I do like to keyboard and at least it feels really nice. For now Im not sure if it was worth my money but Im glad I didnt pay full price for my item ($179 for black friday)

At $250 it is by far the most expensive keyboard i have ever purchased. Previously my most expensive keyboard was the Logitech G513 at $150. I bought this keyboard (alongside the Logitech G604 Mouse) to use at work, I have two computers that i switch between and the idea of using a single keyboard for both of them was what pushed me to make the purchase. Main computer: Dell Latitude 5490. Second Computer: Microsoft Surface Book 2 15 (Connected via Bluetooth) Id like to start with the bad before I get into what I like about the keyboard. The Bad: - The Logitech G Hub software is a PAIN to install on a company issued computer locked down by firewalls and IT. If I hadnt been in IT myself I doubt i would have ever gotten it installed. The software installer package when being run requires additional files to be downloaded in the background, this got blocked by my company firewall. I have the software installed on my Home PC without issue, but the software still is bloated and buggy. - The shift values on the keyboard are printed below the non-shift values. For a screenshot see the (as of this posting) the third image for the product that shows the middle of the keyboard and says Lightspeed Wireless View the ? and / keys to the left of shift. Normally, on most keyboards I have used, the Shift value ? is printed above the non-shift value /. My other Logitech G513 keyboard has the ? above the /, so this change isnt consistent across Logitech products. - When swapping between Bluetooth/Lightspeed my RGB settings are lost, they can be reset by either turning on and off the keyboard or going back into the software to reapply them. - After toggling between Bluetooth/Lightspeed, the Logitech G Hub software removes the ability to use and change the G1-G5 keys. They are non-functional and the option to do anything with them is lost in the software. Toggling the power to the keyboard resolves this. - It reports that it has 0% battery life to my Bluetooth connected device, the G Hub software shows it at 99% but windows will occasionally inform me that the laptop is out of battery. - It is still using Micro-USB and does not have a USB-C port. - the M1,M2,M3,MR, Lightspeed, Bluetooth, GameMode soft buttons at the top are not RGB, they are as far as I can tell fixed colors. They have the technology as the exactly same styled RGB softbutton next to GameMode is a pleasantly configurable RGB. - The Logitech G Hub software does not detect or let you configure the device on the Bluetooth connected computer. (This functionality is built into the G604 mouse so it is possible.) A lot of these problems are software and can and *better* be fixed in an update to the Logitech G Hub software and firmware updates. Things I like about the keyboard: - Toggling between Bluetooth/Lightspeed is genuinely immediate. By the time my hand returns to home-row after hitting the key it is usable on the other device. - There is no input lag detectable on lightspeed, There is no input lag detectable over bluetooth (my G604 mouse does, but this review is not about that product) - Fun fact: You can technically use it on 3 devices: When on lightspeed connection, it will first default to the USB connection if there is one. So you could have one computer wired to the keyboard, unplug the wire and have a second computer connected via Lightspeed, and then toggle to a third computer with the Bluetooth key. If you are considering going this route I would recommend grabbing a Magnetic cable for quick plugging in and unplugging of the keyboard. (I have some NetDot Gen 12 cables that support data) - I have the Tactile variant of the keys (Brown switches), Since im in an office enviroment keeping the loudness of my typing down was ideal, so i avoided the Clicky variant, the Tactile keys feel good to the touch. They make good sounds (My G513 had a springy tang to the sound while it was being broken in, not too pleasant to hear) - Im sure the battery life is good, 30 hours is 4x more than I need on a standard work-day. the Software tells me that it can last up to 60 hours, which is 2x more than the advertised length. I doubt ill ever need to test the battery, but its good knowing that if i do need to rely on keyboard battery, that it will last me many days of use. - Its really thin, and it feels strong and durable. it barely fits into my backpack with my laptop, im not worried that if my backpack falls or gets stepped on that the keyboard will break. - It feels light to hold and carry, but it is heavy for how thin it is. Despite how light it is, it sits steady and immovable on my desk. - Im in love with the volume scroll wheel. This is a good keyboard. The lost star is not because of the software issues, which I hope will be fixed soon and not be relevant to anyone who may read this fairly long review. I also did not remove a star because of price. I felt it was worth it for me but also irrelevant to the quality of the product. It lost the star because of: - 7 buttons do not have RGB - Still using Micro USB instead of USB C - The Key Printing issue

Well made. Good looking. Perfect

I actually really like this keyboard, but I cant in good faith give it more than one star at the moment. As this is a gaming keyboard, the WASD keys are essential, but my D key hasnt worked since day one of use. Often times the key will get activated multiple times upon a single press. I mostly play Overwatch with this keyboardd, consequently, Ive found that my movement to the right gets stuttered. Ive recently sent a complaint to Logitech customer support, and Ill change my review to be more positive if all goes well with that endeavor. As I saidd, I really like this keyboard, but the one badd exception is fairly ddamning on a gaming keyboard. P.S. Ive kept many of the double activations of the D key to demonstrate the frequency of the issue. UPDATE: After contacting Logitech, they sent me a new keyboard. As you can see, the d key is no longer getting activated on a single press, and now I feel I can boost the rating to 4/5 stars. Im tempted to give it 5/5 (especially after the positive experience I had with Logitech support), but I feel I cant do that for few minor reasons: 1) The price is pretty high: Though the keyboard is built really well and feels great to type and game on, the price is still pretty steep. 2) No textured keys for gaming: My previous keyboard had textured WASD keys, which I now realize I severely underestimated. The textured keys make it easy to find your way back to WASD after moving your hands for whatever reason. The ability to change the color of the lights certainly helps, but Id appreciate some textured keys to go along with that. 3) Theres still the small issue your keyboard might be defective when you receive it. Although Logitechs support was fantastic, this rating is based on my personal experience. I would have preferred to not have to contact support in the first place. It may seem like Im kind of nitpicking here, but please realize that these three negatives brought it down one star for me. The keyboard is fantastic otherwise, and if you can afford the steep price, you wont regret it. The keyboard is sleek, heavy, and really well built. The design of it is phenomenal, and even if yours arrives defective, you should have no problem returning it for a new one. Thanks again to Logitech support!

This keyboard was a great purchase, although its kind of expensive, I loved the aesthetics of while also having the macro keys. It arrived quickly, and was ready to use right out of the box, besides needing to connect it to charge the battery, and needing Logitechs software to change the lighting effects. Other then that, I have very little complaints. Overall, the battery can last about a week without needing to charge (I use it everyday for 6 or more hours and I keep it at about 50% brightness), and the lighting on the keyboard looks very clean and is easy to customize. Ive seen a lot of people complain about the macro profiles, and the media buttons being made of membrane (squishy button), however, it has not been a problem for me. The buttons are very sensitive so you wont really have to push them, and as someone who uses them a lot, I think theyre perfectly fine as they are. The only complaints I do have is that when my keyboard received a software update a few weeks ago (first one Ive ever had since purchasing a few months ago) it disabled my macro keys until I updated the software. After the update, everything was working as normal. My last complaint is that after you shut down your computer, your keyboard will of course shut down with it. However, if you accidentally press a button on the keyboard after you shut down the computer, your keyboard will turn back on, and in my case, it would not turn back off. So I have to manually turn off the keyboard. Other then that, this was a great purchase and I hope it lasts a long time, especially with the cost of the keyboard.

Is it expensive? Yes, but for some people its worth it, for others its not. Thats up to you to decide for yourself, but price aside, Ill just tell you about the keyboard. The G915 works really well for me. I got the linear version and the key presses are much quieter than the G513 linear keys, which werent really loud to begin with. I play a lot of Overwatch, so I hit the keys hard when I play. My gf can tell a difference in the noise when I play. The media controls are a good feature. The volume knob is a smooth scroll. For some reason I assumed it would be clicky/notchy, but its not. The G513 had to use a Fn button to access the media controls, which was a little annoying. Also you cant customize the colors of the media/memory/other special function keys at the top. Kinda lame. Not a big deal, but I like the light up G in the upper left corner. Matches my mouse and mouse pad. I wasnt specifically looking for a slim mechanical keyboard, but this keyboard had all the features I wanted. It turns out that I do enjoy the feel of typing on it. The key travel doesnt feel too short (like the new MacBook keyboards). I also appreciate how heavy and sturdy the base is. Also, because the base is so thin, I dont feel like I need a wrist rest anymore (the G513 came with a really cushy one, which I loved). Dimitri from Hardware Canucks said you wouldnt need a wrist rest, and I agree. My keyboard sits on my super oversized mouse mat. The mouse mat serves as a soft place for my wrists while I type, in the same way that I lay my wrist on it when I use the mouse. I also do like the G keys on the left side of the keyboard. Now the new G Hub software is buggy, not too intuitive, and lacks some features when compared to the Logitech Gaming Software. But I was able to map one of the G keys to cycle through my different audio outputs. It makes it easy for when I want to switch between my speakers and headset which are always physically connected to my PC. The old way I used to switch audio outputs was by right clicking on the speaker icon in the taskbar. Just another small convenience. The one thing I dont like about the G keys though is my left pinky naturally gravitates towards the G5 key (the lower left most key) when I try to use the Ctrl key. Im assuming Ill get used to the layout over time, but right now its a bit hard retraining myself. Btw, on the plus side for the new G Hub software , it does give a bit more control on custom lighting for your logitech devices. Its not great and definitely not as good as Corsairs software and level of customization though. I bought the wireless version. Now I dont plan on using it wirelessly so its always plugged in, but the reason I wanted it is because theres a button which can quickly switch the keyboard to bluetooth mode. I have it paired with my phone so when I get a text on my phone, I just hit the bluetooth key on the keyboard and quickly type a text message. (Just to be clear, Im still looking at my phone while Im typing -- Im just using the keyboard to type.) Then I quickly switch back to continue using my computer. Its a nice convenience. One thing that I dont like about the keyboard is that the symbols are not backlit on the top row number keys (and other keys). Maybe they do it for aesthetics, but sometimes I miss that feature when Im typing in a dark room. All in all, Im pretty happy. It was definitely expensive, but for me, it does a lot of the things I want it to do and that was important to me. Btw, in case you didnt notice, the wired version of this keyboard has a USB passthrough, which the wireless version doesnt have. Just in case you wanted that feature.

I’m using the 815 so I don’t have to worry about the battery, and I’ve been using it for 2 years now. Also I’m a hard core PC gamer (FPS mostly) so that’s my primary use. I build my own PCs so G Hub was easy for me to figure out. Now that you know how long I’ve used it for before writing a review, what I use it for and my comfort level I will give my impressions. In short out of all the keyboards I’ve used (too numerous to recollect… especially if I factor work into the equation) it is not only my favorite it is by far my favorite. It’s not perfect by any means. I wish the secondary keys were also lit up (my biggest gripe). I do wish G Hub was better but it’s not like any comparable software by other companies are anything I’d actually compliment either. It does the job and it does get maintained. It is obtuse in some ways like how profiles are managed especially with onboard memory and setting up or deleting multiple DPIs. But at the end of the day I still figured what I needed to do in one session including setting up my own rotating color profile. PBT key caps would be nice but honestly I really like using this keyboard. It feels great so I guess the ABS key caps do the job just fine. I use the Tactile version as I dislike extremely clicky keys, but if it helps give you an idea I go for cherry Mx brown switches on those types of keyboards. Tactile on this keyboard may feel more subtle for some people depending on which keyboards they’ve previously used. Though regardless of that I’d say the feedback feels good and didn’t take me long at all to get used to. I really and I mean really appreciate how they came up with a small form factor keyboard (even the full size version) that packs as much functionality that it has while also feeling like a solid product. It’s pretty hefty for its size which is great because it does NOT move around. As a gamer this is important. I’m also very big into music so I greatly appreciate the media keys. Not only the fact they exist or that they still fit in this small form factor but also because they did them justice. They don’t feel like a last second decision add on. The complaints I do have are overshadowed by the strengths. That is my opinion after 2 years of using it.

Review for Logitech G915 TKL Wireless Tactile: Its a great keyboard but none of the features justify the price. Pros: - Keys: Feel great, awesome feedback, just the right size, flush and the keys dont feel like they are protruding. - Click: Just right. Not too loud. Enough comfort and feedback for gaming but not loud enough for headset microphones to pick it up (unless you bash on it). - Volume scroller and media controllers: Nice to have. Volume wheel is precise. - Build: Amazing. Low profile, slim, has a heft to it due to its sleek aluminum alloy top. - Bluetooth and Wireless: I use this keyboard for 4 devices. Bluetooth is fast, responsive and wakes up immediately. Lightspeed wireless connection is always connected to my gaming PC and has not failed me. - Battery: So far so good. I have not measured how long the battery lasts on a single charge but I find myself charging about one or two times a week. I use this keyboard for several hours every single day. Does sleep often though. - Lastly, Im seriously making less mistakes and typing a heck of a lot faster and thats my favorite thing about it (only reason why I give it 4 stars). Cons: - Underside: Made of plastic but it looks sturdy. - USB-Micro: What year is this? - Memory/G Hub: The only reason this isnt my biggest issue is because all other keyboard software Ive used just plain suck. My expectations are low already. The software looks cool and all but at the end of the day, you have to put so much effort just to do the most basic things. By the time new features are added, ones settings are already set and gotten used to. The current memory mapping features for lighting configurations are terrible. Id give this product 2.5 stars if I was reviewing the software and hardware together. - No lighting under special characters -- Biggest gripe. I didnt realize how annoying this would actually be especially for work purposes.

It feels so smooth, and each keystroke is satisfying and natural to press. I hate the clickiness of soem keyboards, this one is smooth with each click that it doesn’t “mess me up” if that makes sense.
