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

It feels so smooth, and each keystroke is satisfying and natural to press. I hate the clickiness of soem keyboards, this one is smooth with each click that it doesn’t “mess me up” if that makes sense.

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.

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

At $250 it is by far the most expensive keyboard i have ever purchased. Previously my most expensive keyboard was the Logitech G513 at $150. I bought this keyboard (alongside the Logitech G604 Mouse) to use at work, I have two computers that i switch between and the idea of using a single keyboard for both of them was what pushed me to make the purchase. Main computer: Dell Latitude 5490. Second Computer: Microsoft Surface Book 2 15 (Connected via Bluetooth) Id like to start with the bad before I get into what I like about the keyboard. The Bad: - The Logitech G Hub software is a PAIN to install on a company issued computer locked down by firewalls and IT. If I hadnt been in IT myself I doubt i would have ever gotten it installed. The software installer package when being run requires additional files to be downloaded in the background, this got blocked by my company firewall. I have the software installed on my Home PC without issue, but the software still is bloated and buggy. - The shift values on the keyboard are printed below the non-shift values. For a screenshot see the (as of this posting) the third image for the product that shows the middle of the keyboard and says Lightspeed Wireless View the ? and / keys to the left of shift. Normally, on most keyboards I have used, the Shift value ? is printed above the non-shift value /. My other Logitech G513 keyboard has the ? above the /, so this change isnt consistent across Logitech products. - When swapping between Bluetooth/Lightspeed my RGB settings are lost, they can be reset by either turning on and off the keyboard or going back into the software to reapply them. - After toggling between Bluetooth/Lightspeed, the Logitech G Hub software removes the ability to use and change the G1-G5 keys. They are non-functional and the option to do anything with them is lost in the software. Toggling the power to the keyboard resolves this. - It reports that it has 0% battery life to my Bluetooth connected device, the G Hub software shows it at 99% but windows will occasionally inform me that the laptop is out of battery. - It is still using Micro-USB and does not have a USB-C port. - the M1,M2,M3,MR, Lightspeed, Bluetooth, GameMode soft buttons at the top are not RGB, they are as far as I can tell fixed colors. They have the technology as the exactly same styled RGB softbutton next to GameMode is a pleasantly configurable RGB. - The Logitech G Hub software does not detect or let you configure the device on the Bluetooth connected computer. (This functionality is built into the G604 mouse so it is possible.) A lot of these problems are software and can and *better* be fixed in an update to the Logitech G Hub software and firmware updates. Things I like about the keyboard: - Toggling between Bluetooth/Lightspeed is genuinely immediate. By the time my hand returns to home-row after hitting the key it is usable on the other device. - There is no input lag detectable on lightspeed, There is no input lag detectable over bluetooth (my G604 mouse does, but this review is not about that product) - Fun fact: You can technically use it on 3 devices: When on lightspeed connection, it will first default to the USB connection if there is one. So you could have one computer wired to the keyboard, unplug the wire and have a second computer connected via Lightspeed, and then toggle to a third computer with the Bluetooth key. If you are considering going this route I would recommend grabbing a Magnetic cable for quick plugging in and unplugging of the keyboard. (I have some NetDot Gen 12 cables that support data) - I have the Tactile variant of the keys (Brown switches), Since im in an office enviroment keeping the loudness of my typing down was ideal, so i avoided the Clicky variant, the Tactile keys feel good to the touch. They make good sounds (My G513 had a springy tang to the sound while it was being broken in, not too pleasant to hear) - Im sure the battery life is good, 30 hours is 4x more than I need on a standard work-day. the Software tells me that it can last up to 60 hours, which is 2x more than the advertised length. I doubt ill ever need to test the battery, but its good knowing that if i do need to rely on keyboard battery, that it will last me many days of use. - Its really thin, and it feels strong and durable. it barely fits into my backpack with my laptop, im not worried that if my backpack falls or gets stepped on that the keyboard will break. - It feels light to hold and carry, but it is heavy for how thin it is. Despite how light it is, it sits steady and immovable on my desk. - Im in love with the volume scroll wheel. This is a good keyboard. The lost star is not because of the software issues, which I hope will be fixed soon and not be relevant to anyone who may read this fairly long review. I also did not remove a star because of price. I felt it was worth it for me but also irrelevant to the quality of the product. It lost the star because of: - 7 buttons do not have RGB - Still using Micro USB instead of USB C - The Key Printing issue

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.

Overall, the keyboard is great, if I was to be fully honest... if you are not use to a gaming keyboard with hotkeys built in then there will be a small learning curve. For example, the CTRL key and the G5 key or any of the far left keys, getting us to the CRTL key not being the farthest left key gets some getting us to. By default (on my keyboard) the G5 key is set to F5... so if you click it by accident it will refresh any page you are working on. The other issue with the keyboard is that the function keys (symbol keys that share the number keys for example) they are not backlit... I turned on my overhead light in my image to show that these function keys are printed and not backlit... the bottom line, if you are not use to keyboarding... you will have to get close and hover over to see the non-backlit portions of the keys. One thing to note too, is there is software that can help with color arrangements for your keyboard... I was able to set the M keys in the top left to onboard memory to remember my RBG configuration. Very helpful when you are running a KVM. But... If you are running a KVM, the keyboard does not automatically light up when you switch from computer to computer (if anyone was wondering). Overall, I am happy with my purchase, I got this keyboard on Amazon Prime Day and saved $100 ($250 normally back when I purchased) - for the price, I would suggest waiting for a deal like I did.

TLDR: Wait for a sale or price drop unless you just need a wireless keyboard right now. Other than the price, its a solid keyboard. Pros: - Wireless capabilities - Bluetooth connectivity - Low profile (subjective) - Metal Body - Clean LED lighting - Dedicated media controls and audio wheel (the wheel feels great) - Immediate wakeup from inactivity Cons: - ABS keycaps - Price - Rattly Stabilizers (not too bad, probably wouldnt bother most) - Doesnt use cherry stems (no chance of custom keycaps) Thoughts: This is a really nice keyboard, but what keeps it from being great is the price. Starting with the keycaps, I dont know why Logitech still hasnt started using PBT yet. My copy has 16 keys with ever so slightly chipped bits that lets the lighting shine through. Luckily, theyre small enough that I have to deliberately look for them to notice, but still that shouldnt be an issue on a +$200 keyboard. On top of that, the switches are a unique design that doesnt use cherry stems, so you cant just throw on a different set of keycaps. I mentioned the stabilizers being rattly, but that could be me nitpicking from being used to keyboards that go the extra mile for that sort of thing. Theyre really not awful. Make no mistake, this keyboard doesnt have a custom feel. It feels very much like a production board which is to be expected, but that price rapidly approaches custom pricing. What youre paying for here is the wireless capability which is very nice, and a sleek look. Using it wireless is as easy as plugging in the dongle and switching on the board. Nothing to it. Bluetooth pairing is also very easy. Press the bluetooth button, turn on your device, set it to search for connections, type in the code, press enter. Switching between the lightspeed connection and bluetooth is very quick. Theres very little delay in the transition. This next bit is subjective, but I do really like the brushed aluminum implementation of the body. It looks really sleek and works with my setup nicely. The dedicated media controls are always welcome, especially the volume wheel. It operates VERY smoothly with virtually no side to side movement. I have to actually move it side to side to feel any movement, but you will never feel this with normal use. From a gamer standpoint, I really like the low profile keys and shorter travel distance. I never really saw the point in speed switches that have super high actuation points since you tend to bottom out anyway. A physically shorter key press is easier to perceive when needing to make quick presses. Conclusion: For most, Id say to wait for a sale or price drop. If you have a need or want for wireless and bluetooth capabilities in a keyboard, it does both flawlessly. The overall build quality is nice, but I wish PBT keycaps were an option. If the price were lower, Id easily recommend this as a 4 or 5 star, but any shortcomings are multiplied by the pricing.

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.

Logitech is a trusted and premium name in computer peripherals. But this keyboard is not it. Im using the Blue clicky switch version because I prefer the click feedback and sound. The sound itself is actually not very loud. Its fairly quiet for a blue switch keyboard. The bottoming out of the keys is louder than the click. But it feel sort of cheap to type on. Then theres the software. I try to avoid G-Hub as much as possible. I program my mice, save the key configurations to my mice, then uninstall G-Hub or keep it from starting up with the computer to keep it from using unnecessary resources. The keyboard does have onboard profiles. But I found out the hard way and after searching that the lighting is the ONLY part you can save to onboard memory. Any key binds will not save to the keyboard onboard memory. This was the most frustrating thing after spending over an hour trying anything and everything and then searching around online, just to find out that the key binds will not save to onboard memory. If you want to do custom key binds and macros, you have to have the software running always. Right now the G-keys are bound to F1-F5. After finding out I couldnt bind or disable them and save the binds to memory, and being tired of accidentally hitting F5 and refreshing a browser I was watching a stream on, or hitting F1 which opens IE when trying to hit the ESCAPE key, I got so fed up that I grabbed pliers and ripped the damn G-keys out of the keyboard and every single piece left behind, so that the buttons can never be accidentally hit or used ever again. This keyboard is wide enough that they could have put the G-keys up top above the F-keys. They didnt need to make the keyboard longer to add the G-keys, and put them in a place they can easily be bumped. Another thing that I absolutely hate is that they did not include the shift-symbols in the lighting for the keys. There is absolutely ZERO reason to leave off the shift-symbols. They could have moved the number or symbol over to the LEFT and then add the shift-symbol to the top of the key as well, so that everything is highlighted. Just like almost every other lighted keyboard in existence. And finally the cost. With all the issues, lack ofs, and cheap typing feel, this thing costs way too much to have this many issues and lack-ofs. This is the worst rating for any Logitech product Ive given as I own almost all exclusive Logitech products. This keyboard is okay to type on for now. But there are better keyboards coming down the pipeline, and I will be moving this over to another computer in the very near future. Thanks for reading.

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.
