> 3 dayI was skeptical about buying this keyboard based on the reviews I saw. I took a chance and am happy that I did. I wanted a TKL, wireless, USB/Bluetooth keyboard that is good for typing/work and gaming, has the Home/End/Pg Up/Pg Down keys in the traditional locations and also has the F keys offset (not directly above the number keys). $200 is a lot for a keyboard, but I trust Logitech and wanted to give this a try. It exceeded my expectations. I need the keyboard to be able to switch back and forth between a PC (Gaming) and a Mac (Work). On PC, I plugged in the lightspeed wireless dongle and I was done. On Mac, I paired the keyboard with bluetooth, it asked me press certain keys on the keyboard and I was done. When connected to the Mac via bluetooth, the Windows key changes to the Apple/Command key and the Alt key changes to the Option key automatically. It was seamless. I did not have to download any software or set any preferences to make this happen. I wanted to point that out because I couldnt find any other reviews that touched on that subject and this was important to know for my needs. They Keychron I was using did not have a wireless USB option, so I had to toggle back and forth between Wired USB and Bluetooth. To do so, you have to flip a switch on the side of the keyboard, then you have to flip a second switch based on if you want the keys to be Mac or PC. With the G915, all of this is gone. Its all wireless, and when you press the USB button its automatically set to PC keys...when you press the bluetooth button its automatically set to Mac keys (because I paired it with a Mac). Huge QoL improvement for me. Gaming wise...my first night I played with it, I won 6 straight in overwatch and got promoted to platinum so....take that as you will. In all seriousness though, there is no delay, no ghosting issues, no missed key presses or anything like that. It works perfectly. Typing wise, I prefer the tactile keys. The actuation point isnt super deep (like it is with Keychron) and the keys feel crisp and make a slightly audible click. I am fast and accurate. Very happy with this. The profile is suuuuper thin. So thin in fact that I dont need my wrist rest anymore. The Keychron I had was incredibly thick and without a wrist guard, it felt like my wrists were constantly angled up. Not the case with this keyboard. I dont care about lights but.....it has them, and there are several options available in the G-Hub software. On the negatives, the keys arent as tight as I am used to. They wiggle around kind of like a loose tooth might. Its not a huge deal, but its something I noticed that I thought was weird. The price is going to be the biggest negative for me. Paying $200 for a keyboard is unattractive, but since it covered all of my (weird) bases, I paid it. Wish it was close to $150. Overall, it fit my needs, performs better than expected and it cleaned up my setup quite a bit. Happy with the purchase, even if it was pricey.

Greater than one weekI must say this far exceeded what I imagined a wireless led keyboard could be. Extremely fast and packed with amazing features. Which is why the major oversight blows my mind. Who on earth over at Logitech thought it was a good idea to put out an lighted LED keyboard where the secondary keys do not light up? They are literally invisible in even dim light. Which is why I wanted an LED keyboard. If you don’t know your way around a keyboard via muscle memory that drawback is a complete hell no to buying it. They keyboard itself is otherwise outstanding.

> 3 dayHave owned the keyboard for about 3-4 months now. Pluses: - The USB lightspeed receiver more or less eliminates any latency; for the most part, unless you are looking for the quickest response time, there wont be any noticeable latency between key presses and response. - Being able to swap between USB receiver and bluetooth on the fly is extremely convenient. I am able to swap between my main PC and my side one without needing to change any plugs. - Battery life is insanely long (I personally dont use the RGB, so YMMV on this one); I havent needed to charge since my last full charge a month ago Negatives: - Fairly expensive for its price. For enthusiasts, this might not be the best value for what you are getting. It also definitely doesnt feel like a keyboard for this price (this is subjective). - Unique keycaps: if you want to swap them out, youll need to pay a premium to get keycaps with matching size.

> 3 dayI love this keyboard, i love led, but why in the hell are none of the secondary characters like under the numbers lit up? the numbers are lit up but not the characters they share a key with? you go through all the trouble to light the key up but leave them out? whats the point of going LED if your not going to light everything. At first i didnt think it would bother me but when i got the lights off in my room you cant even see the secondary keys. i just think that was massively overlooked. Your already lighting up the character on the same key so why not do the entire key? its actually really annoying, i love the keyboard otherwise but i just have to say that makes absolutely no sense to me if your going through the trouble of making a light keyboard but leave those important symbols out. my old logitech didnt have that issue i didnt even think it was something i had to worry about buying a LED keyboard. Anyway buyers beware if you are on your computer in a dim or dark room you will have serious trouble seeing the secondary characters.

Greater than one weekOverall, the keyboard is great, if I was to be fully honest... if you are not use to a gaming keyboard with hotkeys built in then there will be a small learning curve. For example, the CTRL key and the G5 key or any of the far left keys, getting us to the CRTL key not being the farthest left key gets some getting us to. By default (on my keyboard) the G5 key is set to F5... so if you click it by accident it will refresh any page you are working on. The other issue with the keyboard is that the function keys (symbol keys that share the number keys for example) they are not backlit... I turned on my overhead light in my image to show that these function keys are printed and not backlit... the bottom line, if you are not use to keyboarding... you will have to get close and hover over to see the non-backlit portions of the keys. One thing to note too, is there is software that can help with color arrangements for your keyboard... I was able to set the M keys in the top left to onboard memory to remember my RBG configuration. Very helpful when you are running a KVM. But... If you are running a KVM, the keyboard does not automatically light up when you switch from computer to computer (if anyone was wondering). Overall, I am happy with my purchase, I got this keyboard on Amazon Prime Day and saved $100 ($250 normally back when I purchased) - for the price, I would suggest waiting for a deal like I did.

> 3 dayUpdate : I originally said you could not assign colors to individual keys. Not true. In the G-Hub software there is a tab called Free Style where you can set any key or group of keys to any color you like. Perhaps they should include a _complete_ tutorial with the software. I only found out because I googled what that tab does. I initially purchased the G915 (full size version) Tactile. HUGE (no pun intended) mistake. I have always had full size keyboards and had no issue. But the G915 is larger than normal. My mouse was constantly hitting the right side of the keyboard and the G5 key by accident when muscle memory was going for the CTRL key. So I returned it and got the G915 TKL. Nice. Overall both have the same pluses. The keys are bright and smooth. Its actually fun to type on these keyboards because the switches are so silky smooth. Its true the special symbols on the numeric keys dont light, but seriously, how often is that a problem. I use $ and * all the time so I already know they are on the 4 and 8 keys. Its not really a problem. I have also read some reviews that dont like the volume knob-bar. I dont get it. It turns the volume up, and it turns it down. Whats the issue? The charge time to 100% is 30 mins - 1 hour while using it. And the charge lasts for days. What I really like is the backlights have auto-off to save battery when you havent hit a key in a minute or so. Then as soon as you touch a key, they all come back on. This can be turned off or on through the G app. Its true, you cant set each key or key group individually. For me, it would be nice but its not a deal killer. And the best part, and the main reason I bought these, is you can switch between bluetooth and lighting with the press of a button. I connect to my work laptop with bluetooth, my desktop with lighting. And when you switch its instant. No waiting for a handshake. Goodbye usb switch! Dig it! Overall I am very happy with these keyboards. If I could change anything about them it would be : 1. USB C on the charging port (it is 2022 afterall) 2. Individual key color assignments 3. Did I already mention USB C? 4. A USB Passthrough port

> 3 dayIn short, this keyboard feels extremely satisfying to type on, and for someone coming from a laptop keyboard I highly recommend it. For those coming from mechanical keyboards, you really need to feel this to know if you like it or not, but I really like the feel of the tactile switches. Pros: - Tactile switches feel excellent for both typing and gaming (although pure gamers might prefer reds) - Wireless (basically zero latency; no cables; just fantastic) - RGB is extremely bright (turns off quick, but you can adjust the sleep times and colors in GHub) - Great battery life (I have to charge maybe once every two weeks, although that is usage dependent) - Volume wheel is fantastic Cons: - Expensive (Do not pay $230, that is absurd. For the $170 I got it for, it is an expensive but great keyboard) - Micro usb to charge (In 2022, placing Micro usb instead of usb c for $230 is absurd, but again, find a sale) - GHub is required to adjust sleep states and RGB (I dont mind much, but some do, so its worth mentioning) I am a longtime laptop user, and only in the past year or so did I begin using external keyboards. First, I used apples magic keyboard, and while this keyboard enabled me to type accurately (Im a longtime mac user), it does not feel great due to the incredibly short keys and lack of tactility. Then, I used a ducky one two mini given to me by a friend with Cherry silent red switches, and this keyboard was just much too sensitive. The actuation force required by the keys was ridiculously low, which is fantastic for gaming, but for anything else it creates typos unless you can adjust. Thus I went looking for low profile mechanical keyboards. This was the only low-latency wireless one I could find. It is premium, feels great, and I really do not have any major complaints so far. No, the switches arent replaceable. But thats also not really their target demographic. If you want the best in low profile mechanical keyboards for work and gaming, this is it.
