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

I did a lot of research on the best wireless mechanical keyboard and so many respected hardware sites (Toms Hardware, Techradar) list this option as their top pick. They are not wrong. Ive had this keyboard for a bit more than a month and after some initial break in, the keyboard lives up to the hype. The programmable lighting is really nice. Im not a big fan of the crazy RGB gamer aesthetic but even I was suckered into creating a cool (if monochromatic) wavey light pattern. The G-Hub software isnt super user-friendly, but it gets the job done. The mechanical keys feel really good so far. There was an initial break in period over the first few days where the keys felt a bit inconsistent from one to another, but now they all feel really smooth and consistent. I went with the linear option and I like how quiet and responsive they are. I was unsure if I was going to like transitioning from a full actuation clicky board to this one with the shortened key press distance and the linear switch, but Im very happy with it. I should call out the keys are untextured and totally smooth, almost slippery feeling for the first few uses. It was very off-putting at first but either I got used to it or the keys caps have broken in and it feels fine now. Im not a big macro user normally, but Ive created a few for work to speed up simple tasks that I do all the time like switch to outlook and create a new message. Not super helpful, but it feels cool to do. The build quality is amazing. Ive already shared my thoughts on the key caps and switches, but the board itself is a very nice anodized brushed aluminum. Its a small thing, but it looks great, makes the board rigid even though its very thin and lends a nice heft that cheaper feeling boards dont have. The fit and finish is also top notch. There arent any weird gaps where the pieces fit together and all the edges are very tight. The media keys are OK -they arent mechanical and can feel a bit squishy. The volume bar is knurled aluminum and feels great. The battery life is spot on. I get slightly more than 30 hours on a charge with lighting active. The lightspeed wireless and bluetooth connectivity are easy to pair and I havent had an issue. My only complaints about this board are about the form factor and the media/profile/lighting keys. The keyboard is a non-standard length due to the addition of the macro keys. This makes it impossible to find a wrist rest or lap board that fits flush to the length of the board. Logitech should definitely make a wrist rest for this board. You can find custom options on sites like Etsy, but they are 2-3x the price of mass produced ones. The other issue are the keys used for media controls/keyboard profile switching/etc (the round buttons in the images). They dont feel mechanical and feel pretty squishy. I would have preferred all mechanical keys, but I dont use them nearly as much as the rest of the keyboard so its not a deal breaker. Overall, this board is super expensive - but you are getting what you pay for with well made components and features that you cant find anywhere else. I have concerns about long term durability of the key cap coating (I hear it wears off with heavy use over time and they are a custom format, not easily replaceable) and the battery life. I expect this board to perform well for several years based on the price and initial impressions and will update this review if any long term issues come up.

Update : 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

I 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.

This is for the Logitech G815 low profile Linear. Its frustrating sometimes that Amazon combines similar products and the reviews are about the keyboard Im not looking at. Anyway, I have some serious arthritis and tendonitis issues in both right and left hands and wrists. Surgeries for ruptured tendons, a steel plate on my left wrist holding it together combined with a subpar physical therapy on my last surgery making typing very difficult at times. What works best for my ergonomics is a low profile mechanical keyboard that require very little effort for a keystroke. For years, I had been using the Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 with low profile cherry keys. This G815 actually has a lower profile. The action is a little bit lighter than the low profile cherrys on the K70. But I have a couple of complaints, especially considering the cost. I paid $199. It freaking went down to $169 a day or two after I purchased it. Complaints. The spacebar just isnt right compared to the other keys. It requires a bit more force than the other keys. The left shift key is similar in action. Another thing that bugs me is the lighted keys. All the symbols dont illuminate. Only the non-shift part of the key is illuminated. Its really too bad. Same for keys on the 10 key keypad. Only the numbers illuminate. For $200 all symbols on a key should light up. Im very disappointed in this. There absolutely no reason other than saving a few cents per key, making it even more disappointing that all of the key does not light up. Had I researched further, it may have been a deal-breaker for me. They light up on the Corsair K70. It seems writing this the cons outweigh the pros. But the very low profile of the body and the low profile keys, make it a joy to type on. Especially with my physical situation. I mean this thing is thin. The body is about the same thickness as my S22 Ultra. One thing thats a bit annoying is that it seems like you can only customize the 5 G keys. Thats kind of annoying as well. For what its worth on the Corsair K70, you can customize all keys. For example, I dont use the right windows key or that stupid context key next to it. I like adding my own command to those keys. You cant with this Keyboard and the G-Hub. Bottom line. Unless you have some physical condition that requires a light touch low profile mechanical keyboard, there are better options out there. I will continue to use it because it has made typing easier, but I regret paying $200 for it.

This keyboard is fantastic. I bought it a little over a year ago because on paper, it met all my preferences. Wireless, mechanical, number pad included, linear switches, backlit, high key travel distance and low profile. I tried looking for others that fit this mold but they were either membrane non-gaming keyboards, or some TKL form factor. Early on, the battery life was stellar (like a full week with no charge), but after a year of pretty heavy use (Im on my computer literally every day for work and games), itll last maybe 2 days before I need to plug it back in. Ill be honest though, I have different RGB settings for different games, maximum brightness, and Im on my computer for most of the day. Thatd be 8-9 hours of work, maybe 2 or 3-ish hours of games nightly. And then obviously longer sessions if Im staying in for the weekend. Initially I didnt really care for the RGB, but it has some practical uses. I find myself using the echo-press feature as my default setting. And when I play Apex, I have it set to respond to specific things on-screen, which actually comes in handy. Overall, this thing is an easy 5-star. I wish the battery was stronger, but its no hassle to just plug it in for a bit. And Im a little biased because my G903 mouse almost never needs to be recharged. When this keyboard dies or breaks, Im literally just gonna buy another one. If you have similar keyboard preferences and can afford it, get it. Im not into tactile or clicky switches, but my wife has the clicky one and loves her keyboard too.

I game and code. Cant ask for much more of a power-user use-case than that. I type around 160-200 wpm, so speed and accuracy were important to me. Other than the Dinovo edge, a vastly underrated (and overpriced) membrane keyboard, Ive never typed this quickly or accurately. I turned off the lighting so that battery life can be a total nonfactor. (lasts months without a charge) and it works beautifully. Typing on this feels like a dream. Ive used dozens of types/brands/models of keyboards in the past three decades and this is my overall favorite so far. If you like clicky keyboards, get the clicky version. If youre annoyed by clicky keyboards, get the tactile. I wouldnt recommend the linear for anyone and dont know why its even a thing.

I gave this product 4 starts overall, because it does the job its supposed to do. BUT BE WARNED! The product description is missing this important point: Alphanumeric keys are backlit, but special/uppercase *are not backlit!*. The text on this is nearly unreadable, so the keyboard is difficult to use if youre not going to play games with it. For example, the uppercase 4 (or shift 4, if you will) is usually $. On a printed keyboard, this is almost always visible. On the G815 keyboard, its printed in a dark grey thats nearly unreadable. The 4 is backlit, but the $ isnt. As a result, I cant use this keyboard to do writing or programming. I understand why the manufacturer decided that backlighting the special characters wasnt important. This is a gaming keyboard, and gamers dont often use the special characters. I do think they should point out this limitation in the product description.

TLDR: great keyboard but not worth the money. I’m this essay I will… First off, I love the keyboard. The response time is great, rgb is bright (if you’re into that) and the Logitech hub isn’t a terrible piece of bloatware. If you’re looking for a wireless gaming keyboard you could do far worse. I’ve had no latency using logitechs wireless hub but haven’t bothered with blue tooth. I use this keyboard exclusively for my gaming set up though. The key caps are cheap for a 200+$ keyboard. It’s extremely low profile which I find to be awful for typing in a work type setting but for gaming it’s fine. The battery lasts forever even with full rgb on. They went cheap with a micro usb charger but I can’t tell you the difference other than convenience this makes on charging. USB c would be preferred since it is the standard now but here we are. Thankfully if you have the Logitech gpro mouse which I assume Logitech buyers might for a gaming set up you can use one plug to charge both (not at the same time obviously). It goes to sleep fast but wakes up faster than my wireless keychron k4 I use for work which is really nice. Like everyone else my complaint is the price. I’d the keyboard was 150 I would have gladly paid that without feeling bad but 200+ is a big ask and makes me have buyers remorse on what would be a great keyboard. The key caps are cheap too but I’m not big on that kind of thing. The keyboard is solid but keep in mind it is very thin and so ergonomically isn’t great if you’re someone who likes their keyboard elevated. On prime day this was on sale for 160$ which I missed sadly. If you can wait for that sale again I would do that because as I said, at 150 im happy at 200$ im second guessing my purchase.

I 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.

I have been using this keyboard for a while now and I really like the feeling of the keys and the sound when pressing keys.
