> 3 dayThis is probably the best keyboard I have had in 20+ years of computing/gaming. I love the heavy casing of the keyboard, it makes it stay in place and feel very solid. The lighting on the keys is great as well, you can customize it so many different ways it boggles my mind. I personally like the ripple effect. Some games will even automatically switch to a layout that highlights the right keys to use. The only issue I have had is that some of the keys are already starting to lose the black coating on them, though these are some of the most used keys (right now it is just the S, D and C keys).

> 3 dayI 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!

> 3 dayThe secondary characters dont light up! This is a terrible design flaw that I dont understand and it drives me crazy. I absolutely love the feel of these low profile, tactile keys. However, the lack of fully lit keys and the G keys, which are unnecessary and get in the way, made me swap this keyboard out for a corsair k70. Logitech, if you read this, please make an updated version of this keyboard without the g keys and better lighting!

> 3 dayThis is probably the best wireless keyboard ive ever used. Honestly, Ill probably never go back. But the half star deductions are from both the following: Too expensive. No need to have it at this price point (200+ at the time of writing) No USB Passthrough. Before someone says Wireless keyboards cant do that the Asus ROG Claymore II literally does that.

> 3 dayThey keyboard is lightweight, durable, VERY clicky so if you’re into that, you’ll be satisfied and overall, a solid keyboard. My only 1st world complaint is the colors that shine through the keyboard and through the keypads, are not true to color. For example, gold looks like yellow. Dark shades of blue are much brighter in color.. and so on. Would I recommend it for its functionality and overall performance? Yes. Would I recommend it because the RGB spectrum is great and solid? Nope.

> 3 dayI am working from home and one of my coworkers recommended this keyboard: he has it and loves it. I was really hesitant because of the price, but the ability to switch between my work laptop (via Bluetooth) and my desktop with the press of a button was really attractive. I could get a KVM, but a KVM that supports DisplayPort monitors etc is pretty pricey and I needed a new keyboard. I ended up getting it. I had no issue with the G keys being on the left, I have never accidentally hit them. If youre comfortable typing without looking at the keyboard it should be a nonissue. Pros: - Bluetooth connection (once bonded) is instant. Im not sure if its a fast microcontroller or it auto connects to the last device, but when I press the Bluetooth button I can start typing in less than a second. - Very high build quality - The drivers (as of 11-2020) are great. Corsairs iCUE is a buggy program I had to use for my previous keyboard. Half the time it wouldnt even show up. - Theres an audio output & input cycle macro. This lets you make a G key switch audio input / output - great for me as I like to use speakers for singleplayer games and my headset for multiplayer games and Windows doesnt have a hotkey for this. - Battery life is great. Im on day 3 of use after a full charge and the keyboard is at 41% battery. I am a software dev so I basically live at my PC right now because Im working at home and then gaming later in the evening. I expected to have to charge this a lot more, but given that the entire bottom is one huge battery that makes sense. The battery also gives this thing a nice weight. - The lower profile negates the need for a wrist rest. I had a wrist rest on my previous mechanical keyboard and my wrists still hurt a bit - they feel fine with this keyboard. - Game mode lets you specify keys to disable. Usually you only want to disable the Windows key, but this might be nice for other use cases. - There is great freedom provided to customize unique animations - There is storage on the keyboard for lighting. This lets you set different light profiles for Bluetooth and Lightspeed. Cons: - Unlit symbols under the numbers - To make any sort of lighting animation it has to be done frame by frame. Corsair provided a bunch of cool default animations you could assign per button, this has either global animation or you have to make your own.

> 3 dayI own a Logitech MX Keys, and its a fantastic keyboard, except that it has a numeric pad which I dont use, and which gets in the way of the mouse, and make the keyboard heavier and more awkward to carry around (it wont fit in some backpacks). I bought this G915 TKL because I want a TenKeyLess (no numeric pad) keyboard *for travel*. I dont game. However, for SOME REASON, it turns out that *ALL* TKL keyboards are mechanical. What the heck. The MX Master is far slimmer, far quieter, yet offers plenty of tactile feedback. I dont understand why Logitech doesnt make a TKL version of it. The G915 is taller, heavier (despite having some 20 fewer keys), and much LOUDER. The rainbow colors are fun, and it has the proper spacing between F4/F5 and F8/F9. But I cant justify the $200 price, and it doesnt add anything to the ergonomics. If you want to mash keys, maybe its the right keyboard. I dont.

Greater than one weekI 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.

> 3 dayOver all good action and layout. The shift keys dont glow, and are not in bold. Not good for typing some text. touch typing no big deal.
