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

First, why is that 1-star review complaining about the price still there and has so many upvotes. It is not even a verified purchase. I tried the linear and tactile version. Picked the tactile version because I got used to it quicker and appreciated the actuation feedback, which the linear version lacks. Linear is the quietest, but the tactile version is reasonable. You will not bother anyone. I picked this over the apple magic keyboard and corsair mk2 rapid fire. I will include my use case, specs/features, pros, and cons. Since covid, I work from home. I am a software developer, game a bit (3-10 hours) a week, and write a few reports as part of my job a week. The key caps are matte black and soft, which delivers a very nice feel. If you barely tap the keys, you can slide right across them. I do not eat near my keyboard, but the key caps are pretty good at resisting finger grease/oil. Touch typing will help with this as well. I have a 15inch work mac. I did not mind the butterfly keys, but this is better beyond comparison. The LightSpeed connection over usb does its job. I usually have the usb plugged into my gaming pc and use bluetooth for my work mac. I can transtition between the two just by touching the lightspeed/bluetooth buttons on the keyboard. The layout for mac is different, but i got used to it pretty quick. Being able to use one keyboard for mutiple machines at the touch of a button is incredible. You only need to get used to one keyboard, which greatly improves your typing. I use the macros keys for gaming. game changer. The dedicated media keys are a must have for me now. The volume scroll rod is smooth and the rolling distance matches the change in volume. The keyboard has a brushed metal (probably aluminum) finish. Feels very durable, dense, and premium. Under regular light, dust is very visible. The keyboard pacing is good and no fatigue after all day. The full keyboard is big. 19 inches x 6 inches. good luck finding a soft case for this. I have to use 3 micro fiber cloth to cover this thing when i am away. The keyboard has the back legs. One raises it 4 degress, the other 8 degrees. To me, the 4 degrees is not noticeable. The mechnical switch is visible and almost above the actual board. This contributes to its slim profile. I really wish there was a wrist wrest, so I could get a consistent hand posture and feel. 5 macro keys down the left. full row of function keys, must have for gaming. total of 12 soft rubber-ish buttons for stuff like media, macro controls, and wireless connectivity. Full RGB per key back light only over lightspeed. The backlight customization is limited over bluetooth. I usually have the backlight off... cause i do not look at the keyboard. I really could care less about keyboard rgb. There is a battery and capslock light indicator. Battery life is great. since i do not have the back lghts on, it exceeds the advertised 30hrs. Oh, I also just walk away when i am done working and it just takes one key press to wake up the keyboard and connect. Near seemless reconnection. The included cable is also nice. Mesh/braided. My desk looks a lot cleaner now with a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. I used a cheap $20 keyboard+mouse combo from amazon at home for a long time. At work i have the macbook pros butterfly keys and apples full magic keyboard. I bought the corsair mk2 rapid fire linear, but did not like the lack of actuation feedback. The cheap keyboard cannot compare at all... Macs butterfly takes sometime to adjust. If you like it you can really fly on that keyboard. The magic keyboard has a little bit more travel than the butterfly, but I still prefer the mechanic tactile feel and media keys of this g915. The 15inch mac build has a 90 degrees hard edge finish. When i type and rest my arms, my wrist will rest on the hard edge and after a while it bothers me and leaves a mark. This is why i like wrist rests. Pros: almost everthing i said above -fast reconnecting, and swapping between bluetooth and lightspeed -very good build quality, materials, looks, layout, functionality, and useability -full rgb with Logitech GHUB software -great battery -slim, low profile -nearly best in class for everything it does -logitech ghub software is surprisingly good for keyboard customization Cons: not much, very preference based -19x6. traveling with this not the best. Will not fit most desk keyboard trays. make sure you have the desk space. -The SHIFT+NUM (~!@#$%...)_+) are not backlit. They are printed on the keys. -No wrist rest... like come on even the $20 combo has a wrist wrest. The mk2 also had a wrist wrest. -price (based on your value and opinion) I felt like i need to address the 1-start review on this item that has 300+ votes complaining about the price. This is one of the few wireless (dual connection), real mechanical switches, full dedicated media keys, with macros that features great build quality with a slim profile. I literally use every feature this keyboard offers. Using only one keyboard for my work mac and gaming pc just make that $250 worth it.

This is my first ever mechanical keyboard I have spent significant money on. With that said Pros: - Lightweight, yet keyboard feet keep it from sliding across the desk. Speaking of, the feet are very nice, and get a solid angle for typing - Switches: Logitech switches are very nice (I got Linear switch model). Switches are a bit louder than I had anticipated, but are smooth, no issues of debouncing or misinputs (you can tell when key is pressed or not, never misstype again!). The removal of misinputs or misstyping is super nice for software development; things like VIM commands and REGEX can get all messed up by one extra character you didnt see. - Keystroke press force: Force to press key down is firm, but is solid, and gives tactile feedback on press. - LEDS: Lights have tons of cool features, and Logitech G Suite opens up light controller to your desire. Would love to see Logitech add an API for lighting controller. Would be super cool! - Accessory buttons: Macro keys are not inconvenient, I have seen many comments about hitting G5 in attempt to hit control. This has happened 1 time, but I mean 1 time in a week of typing really isnt that bad. There are 15 macro keys (5 * 3 profiles), and scripts can be written to run from any macro which is super cool (Say you wanted a key to open ETrade or Robinhood, you can do that). Volume knob is extremely big, easy to get to, without accidentally pressing it above the numpad. Very high quality metallic volume knob. Profile buttons, quick macro button, gamer mode, brightness, and media control buttons all very nice with conditioned rubber tops for premium feel. Cons: - Accessory buttons: Actual switching element of ACCESSORY BUTTONS (NOT KEYBOARD KEYS) is a little iffy. Does not give nice responsive press, which can be gotten from buttons as cheap as 0.10$, kind of a bummer. - Caps / Num Lock / Profile button LEDS: Non customizable white LED. Not ugly, but doesnt go with the theme. Same with the Profile Buttons, except theyre yellow, not white. - BIGGEST CON: No backlight on the symbols. These are extremely important for software development, doing things like: Python comments, Perl/Bash scripting, C/C++ programming, anything with high dependency on symbol input, is fairly annoying to do at night with this keyboard. Obviously you can remember which symbol is associated with each number (The numbers are lit), but this is a pain in the arse, and for 170$ it shouldnt be a problem. Overall, thats my opinion on the keyboard. Its not bad by any means, but I can see why some people are let down. Build quality is superb, packaging is a bit lacking (I can see how people might need RND), appeal is as nice as pictures, and actual keyboard functionality gets 8/10. Changing profile LEDS and caps/num lock LEDS to be RGB, and inclusion of backlit symbols give this keyboard a 10/10. Cumulative Rating: 8.8/10.

Overall, I really enjoy this keyboard most of the time. If your intention is to use this keyboard exclusively in a well lit room, you will most likely enjoy it. It is sturdy, is comfortable to type on, and the keys feel pretty good (I am a mechanical keyboard newbie, but I like them). It is a stiff aluminum body, so you can type with it on your lap and not have it feel like it is twisting like some flimsy plastic keyboards can. Great battery life for a wireless backlit keyboard as well. I really do like the keyboard, until you turn off the lights... That is where the main problem begins. Only one character on each key is illuminated when the backlight is activated, so none of your shift key functions are visible when relying on the backlighting. VERY annoying. Why they would think this was a good design decision is beyond me, but had I noticed that feature in reviews I would never have purchased this keyboard (honestly not sure how I missed it, sadly). I dont like backlit keyboards for flashiness, I like them to use in the dark, and that makes this fall pretty flat on its face in that area. The keys are also proprietary to Logitech, and do not have any 1:1 matches for keycap fits with anything currently on the market, so you are not able to just swap keycaps for a set that does properly illuminate all of the icons on the keys (there are a couple of close fits that can be modified, but the fit always seems not quite right). Also means that replacing a single broken key switch requires either a lot of work, or replacing the entire board. I am really hoping that someone releases some better keycaps with the shift functions illuminated. That would make this nearly perfect (would still need USB-C and proximity sensing for the backlighting).

Its the little things that can ruin an experience for you sometimes. Bought my wife the Logitch G715, and I got the G915 TKL for our new gaming PCs. She loves her keyboard, and I hate mine. Whats the biggest difference? The keys on the G915 are upside down: the normal characters are on the bottom, and the shift characters are on the top. so my number row has the numbers on top, and the symbols below them. Only the top characters are lit, so there is an indication that they will be the default, but at thew price that the bottom characters are *never* lit, even when you hold down shift. The effect when using the keyboard was more pronounced than I expected. In a dark room, I cant see the unlit part of the keys where the shift characters are nearly as well as Id like. And with the exception of the exclamation point and dollar sign, I dont really have memorized the number that holds the asterisk or the ampersand (8 and 7, respectively). So then my glance at the keys turns into a longer look as I try to read it. Thats when my dumb really kicked in, and seeing the asterisk on the bottom, my brain would let go of SHIFT instinctively, giving me an 8 instead. Is this most likely a reflection on my poor eyesight and idiot brain? Sure! But it certainly made me decide to return mine after the 100th time I struggled with it, because there are just sooooo many other options that dont have this stylistic choice. Add to that a few smaller issues, like the small keycap size making customization a much bigger pain than I wanted, with much fewer aftermarket keycap options than the G715. Why Logitech is failing to release keycaps to customize one of the most popular gaming keyboards is beyond me.

Bought this keyboard a back in Nov 2021 and now in Jan of 2023 i have noticed that some of my keycaps broke off. These keycaps are logitech proprietary low profile keycaps and are designed with one major flaw; they have extremly weak and delicate plastic stems (feet) attaching them to the switch. This means that even after regular use, few of my keycaps stems snapped off after a year of use. I had one keycap actually break both of the little feet so it cannot be attache to the keyboard switch at all. I lowered my review to 3 stars because of how expensive the kayboard is compared to longevity. ---- Pros: Slim and low profile design, The battery does last a long time (weeks for me between charges.) It is nice to not have a cable running to the keyboard. I have one charing cable for my mouse, keyboard and headphones that i alternate whenever each device needs charging. This helps me keep my desk cable free. I do not see any latency issues with gaming, ever. No hickups, no drops and no strange behavior. It just works. I do, however, keep the USB dongle plugged into my monitor which helps keep the wireless distance pretty small and has a pretty clear line of sight. I do like the extra bluetooth feature, it comes in handy if i want to quickly connect it to another device. The volume knob wheel is very smooth and i dont think i can live without it. CONS: The keycaps wiggle. I also use this keyboard for work and i noticed that the keycaps feel loose. They do not have a secure connection to the keyboards switch and you do get a loose or wobbly feel sometimes when tying. The top number row special characters do not illuminate. I knew this buying this keyboard but it is still very annoying when trying to type with low light. The Keycaps are very fragile. Do not try to take them out, or the stems will break. I knew this buying the keyboard and i was very delicate with it. However, after a year of use few of the stems have broken off. The micro-buttons are useless. you have to switch the FN keymode to use macros. unless you just progrem over you F keys. There should be an option where you just hold the FN key and push one of the F keys to use a macro but thats not how it works.

I love this keyboard. The colors, brightness, and its not hard on my rest.

this keyboard is very expensive given what it is, but it had all the features I wanted and I dont have the time to mess around with making or ordering some fancy custom keyboard. This keyboard is great for productivity and gaming. havent noticed any issues with latency. I have yet to use it in the generic bluetooth mode so I have no idea how that will preform. Use lightspeed wireless dongle or wired. wouldnt consider using the generic bluetooth in gaming but nice to know its there in case I have to use it on a different computer and i dont have the dongle or cable. Media keys work fine. so far havent come across any application that they dont work in. I mostly use itunes or spotify and they work fine. its not a deal breaker but given the price it would be nice if it was USB c and not micro usb. i dont think there is really any performance gain in this situation between the two.. but USB c would be nice as it would easier to plug it in without looking compared to micro usb where I have to make sure its being plugged in the right side up. Battery will last around a week or two with regular usage, but I find this directly affected by how flashy/bright the led pattern/profile is set to. Can be charged and used at the same time without any hiccups. It also warns you with red lights when its dying so there are no mid game surprises. My bigger complaint is more based with the gHub software you have to use to configure it. Its just un-predictable and confusing at times to change things. Has a difficult time loading my default profile on start up occasionally, and will load its default built in profile often on start up and I have to launch the software to make it load even though its supposed to launch and load on start up by default. You technically dont need to use the gHUB software but then you cant map any macros or customize the LEDs (you do have a couple default LED patterns built into it but they are a bit too flashy or a boring color for my taste.)

The 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!

Outstanding product. No input lag in gaming with both wired and wireless connection or in casual windows desktop usage. Greate desktop usage output. Highly recommended. Fast delivery even on standard shipment method.

I bought this keyboard in January 2022, and its starting to die on me 16 months later. I needed a wireless board and this met that need comfortably. It performed well and it was not bad to look at. I am disappointed at its longevity. Its possible I just lost the silicone lottery on this one, so your experience might be better.
