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

Overall, this keyboard is great, and I have no regrets in purchasing it. The battery life on this keyboard is insane, and the responsiveness is also impressive. I havent noticed any issues while playing video games or typing. The reason why it doesnt get 5 stars is because of all the minor issues with the keyboard that keep it from being perfect. - Hard to change the keycaps, so if you want custom ones then be prepared to do a lot of work - The special characters arent illuminated at all - The Logitech G-hub software is very limited. - You cannot create commands that have multiple keys. So G1 + up Arrow is not a valid trigger - You cannot disable the G1-G5 keys when in game mode

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.

TLDR good quality, feels sturdy, requires a bit of pressure per key press which helps with accidental presses. The lighting is decently bright, and it should have a wrist pad as normal sized ones dont quite work but a table isnt contouring. The cabling system is a bit of an nightmare. Pros +Requires enough pressure that just relaxing your hand wont trigger a button push. +The actuation is at the start of the press making it trigger faster and negating the need to slam your keys. +Very sturdy, high quality. This thing feels like it will last forever. +Great spacing of keys, easy to not accidentally hit keys but not so far as to be uncomfortable. +Ergnomic key caps make your fingers know when theyre on the right key. +Software is (finally) easy to use. Theyve updated it since last I used their ecosystem and its a LOT better. No more redownloading every time you need an update among other updates. Cons -To do it right you need one cable for the wireless adapter and one for charging the keyboard (you cannot update the firmware easily without 2 cables) else youre going to doing a lot of plugging and unplugging. - Its short but just tall enough that many will want a wrist pad, and normal wrist pads are too large for it. The table just does not comfort or contour which will turn some people off but you dont strictly speaking need a pad- Its just more comfortable. -Heavy, if you are carrying it around youll notice a different in the metal frame. -Battery length is good but the cable system makes you want it to last forever.

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

Speechless

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 did not like this keyboard at all nor did I like the Ghub software. I used it for a month and while its great for just typing, but trying to play games on it was terrible for me. Half the times I think Im holding down the key and the character will stop and it turns out Im not pressing hard enough. Maybe Im just to used to my old keyboard but I cant use this thing, it is on the premium side but the actual keys are pretty terrible as well. Im going back to my G213 which is $30-40 bucks, that keyboard has never let me down and though the key presses dont feel premium the keyboard always works and is better than this ergonomic wise. So yeah, returning it.

Well made. Good looking. Perfect

Is it expensive? Yes, but for some people its worth it, for others its not. Thats up to you to decide for yourself, but price aside, Ill just tell you about the keyboard. The G915 works really well for me. I got the linear version and the key presses are much quieter than the G513 linear keys, which werent really loud to begin with. I play a lot of Overwatch, so I hit the keys hard when I play. My gf can tell a difference in the noise when I play. The media controls are a good feature. The volume knob is a smooth scroll. For some reason I assumed it would be clicky/notchy, but its not. The G513 had to use a Fn button to access the media controls, which was a little annoying. Also you cant customize the colors of the media/memory/other special function keys at the top. Kinda lame. Not a big deal, but I like the light up G in the upper left corner. Matches my mouse and mouse pad. I wasnt specifically looking for a slim mechanical keyboard, but this keyboard had all the features I wanted. It turns out that I do enjoy the feel of typing on it. The key travel doesnt feel too short (like the new MacBook keyboards). I also appreciate how heavy and sturdy the base is. Also, because the base is so thin, I dont feel like I need a wrist rest anymore (the G513 came with a really cushy one, which I loved). Dimitri from Hardware Canucks said you wouldnt need a wrist rest, and I agree. My keyboard sits on my super oversized mouse mat. The mouse mat serves as a soft place for my wrists while I type, in the same way that I lay my wrist on it when I use the mouse. I also do like the G keys on the left side of the keyboard. Now the new G Hub software is buggy, not too intuitive, and lacks some features when compared to the Logitech Gaming Software. But I was able to map one of the G keys to cycle through my different audio outputs. It makes it easy for when I want to switch between my speakers and headset which are always physically connected to my PC. The old way I used to switch audio outputs was by right clicking on the speaker icon in the taskbar. Just another small convenience. The one thing I dont like about the G keys though is my left pinky naturally gravitates towards the G5 key (the lower left most key) when I try to use the Ctrl key. Im assuming Ill get used to the layout over time, but right now its a bit hard retraining myself. Btw, on the plus side for the new G Hub software , it does give a bit more control on custom lighting for your logitech devices. Its not great and definitely not as good as Corsairs software and level of customization though. I bought the wireless version. Now I dont plan on using it wirelessly so its always plugged in, but the reason I wanted it is because theres a button which can quickly switch the keyboard to bluetooth mode. I have it paired with my phone so when I get a text on my phone, I just hit the bluetooth key on the keyboard and quickly type a text message. (Just to be clear, Im still looking at my phone while Im typing -- Im just using the keyboard to type.) Then I quickly switch back to continue using my computer. Its a nice convenience. One thing that I dont like about the keyboard is that the symbols are not backlit on the top row number keys (and other keys). Maybe they do it for aesthetics, but sometimes I miss that feature when Im typing in a dark room. All in all, Im pretty happy. It was definitely expensive, but for me, it does a lot of the things I want it to do and that was important to me. Btw, in case you didnt notice, the wired version of this keyboard has a USB passthrough, which the wireless version doesnt have. Just in case you wanted that feature.
