Greater than one weekI paired this with a gel wrist pad, and this is by far the best most amazing keyboard I have used. I have tried over 20-30 keyboards. My typing speed keeps getting better and better, and more effortless. The colors are really cool and impress people as well. They are not distracting at all for me.

> 3 dayI mostly use gaming laptops and I wanted a keyboard that felt like that. I have only ever used membrane keyboards and I like how they feel but I heard mechanical keyboards are basically better in every way so I decided to get something that I thought would be like a gaming laptop keyboard but better. I know absolutely nothing about mechanical keyboards and I did do some research and it seemed like Cherry MX Brown switches or something similar would be what I was looking for and because laptops are very low profile I wanted to have my keyboard feel similar. I went with the G815 Tactile because of the brown switches which I assumed would be somewhat similar to MX Brown and I dont know if they are but either brown is not what I wanted or these switches are terrible. Theres supposed to be a bump and I assumed that bump would be like my laptop/membrane keyboards where they sorta feel either on/off and nothing in between but it doesnt have that feeling. Maybe thats on purpose but I really dont like that. I went to best buy and I think there was a keyboard with red switches where it felt linear and the 815 feels almost identical to how I remember that keyboard feeling. Comparing the G815 Tactile to the Logitech K270, the 815 somehow feels even more mushy and disappointing than the K270. When I press the keys on the K270 there feels like a nice click where it feels heavy at first and then breaks as you apply pressure. With the 815 the keys feel continuous almost like how I hear Cherry MX Red switches being described as. There is a very tiny bump but its so small that its practically not there. The K270 has a very binary feeling where when you press the keys theyre either activated or theyre not, this is my preference and unfortunately the G815 feels the exact opposite. The keyboard itself feels excellent, the build quality is fantastic and I have no complaints about that but because of my preferences this is not the keyboard for me and I couldve saved $150 and bought a membrane that wouldve felt a lot better. So far mechanical keyboards are very disappointing. Membrane/laptop keyboards Im used to feel like a single action revolver trigger. When you pull the trigger it fires, maybe its a very heavy revolver trigger but it has a very binary feeling. The G815 feels like a double action trigger. Its very long, mushy, and it just doesnt feel as nice. Maybe I have Stockholm syndrome but for membrane keyboards but this feels like a super experience.

Greater than one weekSaw a demo G815 with the clicky keys. Enjoyed it and found here for $50 off. Swapped from a HyperX keyboard to this one and I enjoyed the slim feel of the keys. The part that makes it a 4 star for my tastes is the first impression of having a extra row of keys to the left of the keyboard which makes is harder for me to recenter onto WASD or QWER for my games, this opinion may change after longer use (I’ve had it for 10 hours of gaming so far). The keys are also far lighter so I have mistyped more than a few times just from my standard resting position. Overall, very easy to setup the software, very satisfying clicks, and more comfortable on my desk with it being more slim. Would certainly recommend to a friend.

Greater than one weekIs 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.

> 3 dayNOTE: There are 3 different versions of this keyboard: clicky, linear, and tactile. I first tried the clicky... and while it felt breezy and light to type on, the click sound was just a bit too much for me. Decided to go with the tactile version, which I like much better. Otherwise, this is a great keyboard. The ability to connect in multiple ways and easily switch between those multiple methods, I could actually switch between multiple devices in the same session (computer and phone)... is a nice feature. The backlight and changing lights gives the keyboard a nice cool looking effect. My own criticism is the secondary shift-keys are not backlit.... so you really need to know where these characters are located, otherwise you wont be able be able to find the ( or * in a dark environment.

Greater than one weekOverall, this keyboard is great, and I have no regrets in purchasing it. The battery life on this keyboard is insane, and the responsiveness is also impressive. I havent noticed any issues while playing video games or typing. The reason why it doesnt get 5 stars is because of all the minor issues with the keyboard that keep it from being perfect. - Hard to change the keycaps, so if you want custom ones then be prepared to do a lot of work - The special characters arent illuminated at all - The Logitech G-hub software is very limited. - You cannot create commands that have multiple keys. So G1 + up Arrow is not a valid trigger - You cannot disable the G1-G5 keys when in game mode

Greater than one weekFor such an expensive keyboard, the key quality is terrible. The letters are wearing off of the keys causing the backlight to shine through. Letter D looks like an O and S looks like a dollar sign from the paint wearing off. Could do a better job, Logitech.

> 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 was looking for a good mechanical keyboard. Started out years ago with the Corsair K70 RGB with Brown switches. The keys were too tall for my liking and I wasnt a fan of the tactile switch bump. I really like the older Apple chiclet keyboard, and also felt a 10key-less keyboard would be cool to try. This was the closest thing I could find! Battery life is great! I cant tell any increased latency, and I cant really speak to the wireless distance. Overall, Im a happy camper! As the review title says, I ended up buying another 2 - one for the office as I program semi remote and its nice to have the same keyboard, and one for my girlfriend. As an aside, the only real complaint that I have is that the Logitech software that you use to configure this keyboard and the Logitech G935 headset conflicts, and certain, possibly obscure, settings on the headset keep getting overwritten when using with this keyboard. I got around that by adjusting my settings to my liking and then uninstalling the software.
