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

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.

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 gaming keyboard was a birthday gift for our grandson; he says it is awesome. He really likes the feel of the keys, lighting and sound.

The first one that was sent had the aluminum badly bent in the corner. Pretty sure it was a manufacturing defect as there was no damage to the box, packaging, etc. Amazon made it easy to get a replacement and its been awesome. The battery life is really impressive considering it is full, per key, RGB. The sleep time is configurable in the g suite software. Actually, everything is configurable in the g suite software. The tactical keys are a nice balance of sound and feel. Since they are low profile, the 1.5mm key press registration distance is a nice and noticable improvement over regular keyboards. Additionally, this this is super thin so you dont need a wrist rest. That, in turn, means it takes up less space on the desk even being a full size keyboard. This is all proprietary to Logitech though the switches are an obvious copy of the choc low profile switches. So, no aftermarket support for keycaps and, of course, the switches are not hot swappable. However, if you like things that just work and are on the Logitech ecosystem by way of a mouse... This is the way to go. Some little quirks with the software that arent obvious like having to upload the settings to the keyboard memory for the lighting to be on immediately vs after waking up... I mean, that could be improved (same issue though with the mice and dpi). Solid build, solid performance... Really expensive.

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.

They keyboard is lightweight, durable, VERY clicky so if you’re into that, you’ll be satisfied and overall, a solid keyboard. My only 1st world complaint is the colors that shine through the keyboard and through the keypads, are not true to color. For example, gold looks like yellow. Dark shades of blue are much brighter in color.. and so on. Would I recommend it for its functionality and overall performance? Yes. Would I recommend it because the RGB spectrum is great and solid? Nope.

Speechless

Saw 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.

So, I bought this brand new and it definitely had some crumbs on it and the packaging was open. All in all I suppose I should have just exchanged it. However, I ended up just sticking with it as there was nothing wrong with it as the month past. If it breaks now, thats on me I suppose. All in all a great space saver, the battery life is great, and the sound is beautiful. While the lighting isnt the strongest out there It is still rather nice in my eyes. The white would probably provide better bounce back for lighting. All in all a wonderful product.

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.
