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

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.

Ergonomics: Fantastic! This keyboard is way thinner than my previous keyboard and as of 2019 Id say it is probably one of the thinnest on the market so typing off a desk is very comfortable. It is also spaced close together without feeling cramped (I have large hands and am fine with the design) so it takes up less space on my desk and is still great to type on. Switches: The tactile switches are a great typing experience and the click is not overly loud. It does have a bit of a mushy sound to it but the click is still very audible and you can definitely feel it. I prefer the feel of cherry switches but these are supposedly faster and I do have to say typing does feel very snappy with them even if I am not happy about the tiny bit of mush feeling each keypress has. Wireless: Lightspeed is fantastic and I absolutely believe them when they say its speed rivals wired keyboards. I previously used G613 which was also just as fast but had an issue with certain keypresses appearing twice (seemed to be based on battery life) and Im very glad that this keyboard seems to have solved that issue. It also has a bluetooth button so you can easily connect it to your phone or tablet and that is a really nice feature to have. Macro keys: I love macro keys and cant live without them. Im a bit sad that it only has 5 but I can make that work in a pinch and the compact design of the keyboard is very sleek so Ill forgive it. Construction: SOLID. There is no bend or flex to this keyboard at all and it is incredibly well built feeling and looks fantastic as it is made out of black aircraft grade aluminum. Lighting: It has rgb lighting if you dont mind plugging it in or drastically reducing your battery life. It looked very nice for the 3 seconds it was on before I turned it off forever. Battery: 30 hours when using leds on lightspeed wireless or an insane estimated 1,100 hours or ~45 days of continuous use with leds off. Complaints: 1) Even with leds offs when you first start typing after the keyboard has gone to sleep (it does this after a few seconds of inactivity and wakes up with no delay to preserve battery life) the M, wireless mode, and battery lights turn on EVERY, SINGLE, TIME. LET ME DISABLE THIS IN SOFTWARE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK THIS IS AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE TO CONSTANTLY HAVE LIGHTS GOING OFF IN YOUR FACE AND WASTING BATTERY??? 2) It is a hair and dirt MAGNET. With the keys raised in the air above the board anything that gets on this board will instantly become obvious and the second it has one hair on it the board looks dirty.

I 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.

Nothing about this product justifies the price. The switches are fine. The construction is good. The software is meh. The only thing going for this product are the looks. If a thin, wireless white keyboard is your #1 ask, buy it. If not, look elsewhere. I bought to replace my aging Corsair K70 RBG and was so underwhelmed I am returning it. In my opinion, it is nowhere near the feel you get from full size cherry mx switches. For $200 I expected the product to impress me but I was disappointed at every turn. I can may much less for meh

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.

Got this because I use a computer professionally and thought it looked SO cool. Keys feel great and I can type very fast. Its not loud. The colors are kinda neat in a nerdy way, although I never have the lights dark enough. Havent gamed on it yet. Very comfortable and I expect it to last forever like every Logitech thing. Its nice having a fast connection to the computer for speedy typing, and it never misses any key presses. Other wireless keyboards Ive had (MS Ergonomic) do sometimes miss things if youre going fast. And there is a tiny delay I dont like from growing up hardwired. Battery lasts forever, but the app keeps bothering me to recharge it as soon as it gets to 15%, which will last me an entire week. Seems durable and repairable. There are replacement keycaps available if you google for them. I got the matching G502X mouse as well, and it is a little odd that the keyboard and mouse use different charging connectors.

This 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.

Based on performance and quality, the G915 is not worth even half the money spent based on decades of experience with all manner of budget and premium brand keyboards. The primary reason for the purchase: Pitch 1) decent reviews around quality and long term use Pitch 2) the ability to control the keycap illumination and key function based on context Pitch 3) the macro buttons to the left of the keyboard The experience: Strike 1) The reviews are not very accurate. No big surprise, but perhaps the current crowd doesnt appreciate what features make a good keyboard. e.g. a gaming keyboard would have a way to quickly locate the commonly used WASD configuration without looking. The feel of this model is poor. The build quality may be okay, but materials chosen are clearly not. Some of the features are not of value and relegated to gimmicks in practice. There is little feedback from the keys. I get that this is part of the style, but there was no choice. Despite overall good response and reliability, sometimes one or more of the keys either sticks or refuses to actuate immediately. This is not a good choice for gaming if you want physical feedback about what the device may or may not be doing. Some of the keycaps have worn out in just 1.5 months. I have keyboards over a decade old still in use that still show the keycaps. My current daily driver and very heavily used keyboard is 4 years old. It looks and performs flawlessly, and it is a budget brand. Seriously Logitech, whats the excuse for that? Strike 2) GHub is poorly designed and likely poorly written. It simply does not function as advertised. Do not buy this product if you are anchoring the decision on using it with GHub. Further, the protocol is not well defined so as a consumer you are unable to (easily) write your own code to control the keyboard. Great idea, poorly implemented, not properly supported, therefore a gimmick. Strike 3) The macro buttons are not as useful to me as I had anticipated. They may be useful to me in some circumstances, or useful to others. This is minor in the grand scheme of things. My support experience was simply awful. If I provided the type of support I received, I would be retraining the support staff or having career counseling discussions with the individuals. Id also be talking the to product management team. Check the forums, theres a problem. Logitech tech support was a complete waste of time and energy to try and resolve the fact that the GHub does not work with a particular title (there may be others) that is advertised as functional. There was back and forth over the course of weeks with naïve questions, sometimes repeated by different people, that made zero sense. As someone who has been in IT for an extremely long time with demonstrated expertise, I can say with authority that these individuals had no clue what they were doing, including people who alleged to be level 2 support. In the end I was told to write an email to the developers so that maybe the support would show up in some future version of the software. Are you actually kidding? This is the email from the company that provides the hardware and software. In the meantime, because the software and hardware do not function as claimed by Logitech, I am stuck with ridiculous RGB puke which is the default behavior. This is not a company I will support. They clearly do not care about their customers based on their behaviors, and from my experience the products used do not warrant the price asked. If the product was within the return window, I would return it. I dont want a replacement. I want a different one from a company that cares about their product and their customers.

UPDATE After a month or so of use, I’ve reduced the number of stars to 2 because one of the seemingly small issues is really annoying during everyday use. Putting the legends for shifted characters below the lighted unshifted characters is insane. If you’re a 100% touch typist, maybe it would be ok, but if you just glance at the keyboard for characters like brackets you see the shifted character in the middle of the key and automatically just press the key without the shift. I understand the reasoning with the LEDs being at the top, but Logitech should provide alternate keycaps — most other lighted keyboards have the unshifted legend to the left and the shifted legend to the right and maybe a little above. Until Logitech fixes this issue, I can’t recommend. This review is for the G815 Tactile model. I was looking for a keyboard for home and office use on a Mac and PC. I tried several flat keyboards, including an Apple Magic keyboard, but didn’t have a lot of luck. At one of the big box stores I was randomly tapping some gaming keyboards and the G915 with blue switches felt really good. I like wired keyboards and I wanted less noise so I ordered the G815 (I would have bought it there but there weren’t any in stock so I ordered from Amazon). When the G815 came, I was a little disappointed because the keys were looser and rattled a little bit. Then I realized the one at the store was lubricated. The switches are not swappable, so you could only lube the tops, but that really helped with the key feel and the stabilizers. I have wide hands and overall the keys seem well spaced and it’s very comfortable to type on. Note: the brown switches are tactile, but the “bump” is really subtle. I’m not sure there’s a great difference between the red and brown switches. The blue switches definitely click and I thought felt a little more tactile. I just didn’t like the clicky noise. It’s not a loud keyboard, but it isn’t silent either—people will know when you’re typing if you’re in the same room, but it isn’t so loud as to be annoying, I think. It’s also a really attractive keyboard. It’s well made and the finish is very good. The keyboard adjustable RGB is good enough for me and the key illumination is clear. Note: I did download the software and did a few things with the RGB and macros, but it was a little buggy and locked up at least once—I’m not using the keyboard for extensive gaming so the customization wasn’t that important, so I uninstalled it. And to be fair, one constant for with every keyboard manufacturer is that the software isn’t that great. There are a few things I do wish Logitech would fix: 1. The keys and stabilizers rattle a little out of the box. I was able to lube them up for a much better feel, but it would be nice if the keyboard came that way. 2. The most annoying thing about the G815 is the number key (and some of the symbol key) legends. I know the LED is at the top, but you can’t put the number at the top and then the symbol underneath unlighted. I understand why they did it, but shift means up. It’s just unnatural. And I get that for gaming maybe you’re not using the dollar sign too much so it’s less of an issue, but Logitech should make an alternate keycap set available for people who just want to use it for typing. 3. One other small note. I use the keyboard on both a PC and a MAC and it works great on both systems. It would be nice to have extra command and option keycaps I could switch out if I wanted to. But these are small issues compared to the overall quality of the keyboard. So, overall a positive experience. This will be my main keyboard for a while. I can see using it for years. I’d definitely recommend.

For 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.
