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

Really loved this keyboard - the battery life was going to be astonishing; from full charge and after 2 days of medium usage (about 5 hours total), still held 94% charge because it is smart enough to kill the lights and even kill the power to the keyboard often enough it saves battery. Just a tab on any key wakes it up and youre good to go. Their proclamation of 30 hours seems to be a pretty safe bet. I grabbed this one after trying a cheaper unbranded gaming keyboard that only gave me 5 hours total before the battery died. The only downsides were the inability to see the unlit shifted keys in a dark room, its length (left little room for my mouse on a cramped desk), and the placement of the G1-G5 keys to the left of the tab/caps/shift and ctrl buttons. Hitting those buttons on accident while going for shift or some other combination that required it is the main reason I sent this one back and replaced it with a G915 TKL version, which has an even better battery life (40 hours) and no annoying accidental keypresses of the macro keys. If you need a 10-key or need to use it for work, the G915 is a solid choice. if just for gaming or casual use, go with the TKL model. They are both a bit pricey, but well worth it to complete out your gaming system setup.

I swap out keyboards like crazy, and for the price, I was a bit hesitant on this one. But after typing on one for a bit, I was convinced this was exactly what Ive been looking for. All things considered, it is! The mid-height key caps are my favorite, but incredibly tricky to find, so this was one major selling point. Something about the balance between the old school full height keys and the chicklet/laptop style keys make them easy for me to type quickly. The spacing is just right. The brown switches are my favorite. Not obnoxiously noisy, so I can have that satisfying clack without feeling like Im driving everyone else in the surrounding area totally nuts. Also just enough feedback from the tactile bump to know when a click will be registered. That said, a few of the keys are a bit sturdier than others, while some are a bit looser/wobblier. Overall, fairly happy with the quality. The wireless connectivity is flawless. Havent experienced any issues with dropped keys or inability to connect. Only thing to note is that on boot, it does take a tiny bit of time before it connects and starts registering key presses, so if youre trying to say, access your BIOS or switch to a different boot drive, youll have more luck repeatedly pressing the key you need as opposed to holding it down as you would with a wired board. Finally, love the overall look and feel. Was a bit hesitant to get a white keyboard, remembering some of the nasty looking boards from decades past, but it looks great on the desk so it was a sacrifice I was willing to make. The volume wheel and other audio control keys are a great addition, and the LEDs are nice and vibrant. Overall, for the price, Im quite happy with this board. Great for typing. No issues when gaming. Its definitely not for everyone, but its a joy to use.

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.

After sending two refurbished models back because they either didnt work or because they looked like someone drug them behind their car for 10 miles, I bit the bullet and bought a new one. Its a great keyboard, with a great mechanical feel and features. The only negative I can find is the macro function. Programing the keys is fine, but when they execute the macro, they are exceedingly slow. I use the macro keys to store common phrases I use in my job and even after setting the time to its lowest setting, it takes forever compared to my old keyboard (an Alienware device). The old keyboard macros were near instant, this one, the letters appear one at a time as if being typed, albeit by a fast typist, but still slow compared to nearly instant. The volume controls and forward / back keys are excellent and get used a lot as well. So far, outside of the macro speed issue, I like the keyboard almost as much as I liked the old one this replaced.

Pros Build quality: Top Tier. Battery life: Lasts between 1 and 2 months on a charge. The 5 G Keys are useful for assigning macros to. Has a button to disable the windows key so you arent interrupted if you accidentally hit it. Everything from lighting to key assignment can be customized using Logitech G Hub. Keyboard design is inherently less pron to getting dirt under the keys and is easy to keep clean. Cons 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.

I really like it. The key cap material feels a little cheap for the $200+ price tag, but I haven’t felt like it is enough of a negative to return or recommend other keyboards. There is a little bit of where you can slightly shift the key caps horizontally, but I don’t feel like it gets in the way of my typing at all. Only when I rest my fingers and push completely on the keys do I feel the keycaps slide. They also will only shift maybe a few millimeters. While gaming and typing normally I do not notice it. Trying to press the keys from all angles, I cannot find an angle where they do not register a press. Even on the space bar. The space bar, and all other keys larger than the standard letter and number keys, have a design with three supports so it has always registered a press from whatever angle I pushed on it from. While typing normally I do not run into any problems. I think if you have the cash to spend on it, this keyboard might be worth it for you. It’s all subjective though and I can admit that coming from a wired keyboard the difference is completely for the quality of life improvements over anything like insane response time or other advancements in keyboard technology. It is fast with very low lag, and I don’t feel any lag from a good 15 feet from the adapter, and think I can go way further, but my room is small. Even with stuff like a bed, pillows, and other stuff in the way I cannot see any difference. I imagine that you could game on a tv if you wanted if you sat on the couch, with reliable speed, but I don’t have a large enough screen to check. I wanted the 915 TKL for the wireless, the TKL that frees up space for my small desk, and reliability. By buying this keyboard you are buying it to have a wireless small reliable keyboard. I do not think that it’s any better than a wired keyboard in its technical ability. I used the G512, and other keyboards in the past, and loved them. This keyboard is if you want to spend extra on it. There are more budget keyboards for gaming from Logitech and other brands that have on par response time. This is if you want, and can, spend extra. Bluetooth is fast as well. I’m using it on my phone right now to test it’s Bluetooth ability, and it feels fast enough to say it is a valid choice for whatever Bluetooth ability you need. I do not have the ability to test gaming on Bluetooth however, but would imagine that the USB adapter is much faster and more reliable than Bluetooth due to the nature of Bluetooth being slower than other methods of wireless. I got linear switches and they are quiet and smooth. Going from a clicky G512 to linear it’s exactly what I wanted. Smooth the whole press, and has what I think are great overall ergonomics. I do have large hands though, and can easily reach the F keys even though they have a small space between them and the number keys. This might not be the keyboard for someone with small hands if you plan on using the F keys a lot. Overall, I’d recommend it, but it is expensive. I would recommend waiting for a sale or receiving a gift card to make it more worth it to buy. 9.75/10 (.20 for the key caps, and .05 for the horizontal “key shifting”) [side note: the brushed metal is not black and does stand out in bright light. I think it’s okay but if you are going for a certain aesthetic look with your keyboard you would have to be looking for a dark metal-y grey with this keyboard.]

Speechless

I actually really like this keyboard, but I cant in good faith give it more than one star at the moment. As this is a gaming keyboard, the WASD keys are essential, but my D key hasnt worked since day one of use. Often times the key will get activated multiple times upon a single press. I mostly play Overwatch with this keyboardd, consequently, Ive found that my movement to the right gets stuttered. Ive recently sent a complaint to Logitech customer support, and Ill change my review to be more positive if all goes well with that endeavor. As I saidd, I really like this keyboard, but the one badd exception is fairly ddamning on a gaming keyboard. P.S. Ive kept many of the double activations of the D key to demonstrate the frequency of the issue. UPDATE: After contacting Logitech, they sent me a new keyboard. As you can see, the d key is no longer getting activated on a single press, and now I feel I can boost the rating to 4/5 stars. Im tempted to give it 5/5 (especially after the positive experience I had with Logitech support), but I feel I cant do that for few minor reasons: 1) The price is pretty high: Though the keyboard is built really well and feels great to type and game on, the price is still pretty steep. 2) No textured keys for gaming: My previous keyboard had textured WASD keys, which I now realize I severely underestimated. The textured keys make it easy to find your way back to WASD after moving your hands for whatever reason. The ability to change the color of the lights certainly helps, but Id appreciate some textured keys to go along with that. 3) Theres still the small issue your keyboard might be defective when you receive it. Although Logitechs support was fantastic, this rating is based on my personal experience. I would have preferred to not have to contact support in the first place. It may seem like Im kind of nitpicking here, but please realize that these three negatives brought it down one star for me. The keyboard is fantastic otherwise, and if you can afford the steep price, you wont regret it. The keyboard is sleek, heavy, and really well built. The design of it is phenomenal, and even if yours arrives defective, you should have no problem returning it for a new one. Thanks again to Logitech support!

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.
