> 3 dayLogitech 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.

> 3 dayUpdate #1 (12/13/2022): The keyboard still feels great after a week. I full charged it after I got it (12/05/2022) and about after a week of on (most nights constant sometimes minimal) use its now at 5%. Its not bad, definitely not the month worth that some people say, but also well within the advertised hours (something like 30hrs playtime). Its just the keyboard, dongle, and the wire in the box. The keyboard itself is super thin, I love it. Im glad I got the clicky version because it doesnt actually feel that clicky to me, I think its because the travel distance is less so its not nearly as a loud as a normal clicky would be. The dongle that the keyboard comes with is connected to a USB A female to micro USB B female. So you could just leave the wire that connects to your keyboard into the back of your computer and still have access to the USB port since it acts as a new adapter for your wire. So far Ive just attached the dongle to the micro USB A female and planned to take the dongle out when I want to charge. Im not a keyboard guy and I have only owned sub $30 keyboards so I dont think Im as picky as the others. This was definitely a splurge and I dont like spending money (especially for just a keyboard) but I do like to keyboard and at least it feels really nice. For now Im not sure if it was worth my money but Im glad I didnt pay full price for my item ($179 for black friday)

> 3 dayAfter 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.

Greater than one weekCan only provide initial unboxing and setup experience as I have not used it for gaming as of yet. Unboxing was simple and all items present. Capability...I am using MAC Studio with no issues and keyboard/mouse use was not difficult especially if you worked out how and where they are positioned in order to use the Lightspeed wireless dongle and its plugin. Keyboard placement is within three feet of the dongle which was plugged into my hub and working exactly as planned (I also tried Bluetooth and it works). Directions for RGB setup are basically nonexistent, even in the app. Fortunately the app is laid out in an intuitive manner as to figure out the lighting I wanted on the keyboard. Keys light up as expected however, special characters (I.E. !@#$%^...) do not (thus the four star rating instead of five) and can be set at four levels of keyboard brightness. The keyboard layout is what I expected including the feel and sound of GL Tactile keys (as seen and heard on Youtube videos). So far, I am satisfied with the purchase at this price-point, especially in a lowlight atmosphere but will know more once the games begin.

20-11-2024So, 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.

> 3 dayI’m using the 815 so I don’t have to worry about the battery, and I’ve been using it for 2 years now. Also I’m a hard core PC gamer (FPS mostly) so that’s my primary use. I build my own PCs so G Hub was easy for me to figure out. Now that you know how long I’ve used it for before writing a review, what I use it for and my comfort level I will give my impressions. In short out of all the keyboards I’ve used (too numerous to recollect… especially if I factor work into the equation) it is not only my favorite it is by far my favorite. It’s not perfect by any means. I wish the secondary keys were also lit up (my biggest gripe). I do wish G Hub was better but it’s not like any comparable software by other companies are anything I’d actually compliment either. It does the job and it does get maintained. It is obtuse in some ways like how profiles are managed especially with onboard memory and setting up or deleting multiple DPIs. But at the end of the day I still figured what I needed to do in one session including setting up my own rotating color profile. PBT key caps would be nice but honestly I really like using this keyboard. It feels great so I guess the ABS key caps do the job just fine. I use the Tactile version as I dislike extremely clicky keys, but if it helps give you an idea I go for cherry Mx brown switches on those types of keyboards. Tactile on this keyboard may feel more subtle for some people depending on which keyboards they’ve previously used. Though regardless of that I’d say the feedback feels good and didn’t take me long at all to get used to. I really and I mean really appreciate how they came up with a small form factor keyboard (even the full size version) that packs as much functionality that it has while also feeling like a solid product. It’s pretty hefty for its size which is great because it does NOT move around. As a gamer this is important. I’m also very big into music so I greatly appreciate the media keys. Not only the fact they exist or that they still fit in this small form factor but also because they did them justice. They don’t feel like a last second decision add on. The complaints I do have are overshadowed by the strengths. That is my opinion after 2 years of using it.

> 3 dayOverall, 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

Greater than one weekThe 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.

17-11-2024I am a software developer and casual gamer. I was looking to replace an 8-year-old keyboard that was beginning to show its age. I wanted a wireless, low-profile TKL design, that could be used for 10+ hours a day without a wrist-rest. I was having trouble finding anything close to the Samsung AA-SK6PWUB which I had been using. That was an almost perfect keyboard for software development, but it is not being made anymore. My only complaints with it were that it was not backlit, and the function keys were not full size. The K915 TKL seemed to be the closest I could get to the Samsung, and it offered backlit and full-sized F-keys. The K915 is much more expensive than the Samsung, but I was willing to spend the money to get something that would work well because I spend many hours a day at the keyboard. After unboxing the K915 TKL, I was impressed -- good weight to it, keys felt firm, and the deck did not have any flex -- over-all it felt high-quality. The only negative I noticed right away was the micro-USB connector. I would have much preferred a USB-C. Experience has taught me that micro USB connectors are too fragile. I was also a little unsure whether it would be as comfortable to type on. The K915 is low profile, compared to most mechanicals, but it was still MUCH taller than the chicklet I was used to using. Laying it flat on the desk, it was still a little too tall to comfortably reach all the keys without bending my wrists. I could not just wrest my wrists on the desk and type comfortably. Given that I had been using the Samsung keyboard for about 8 years, I figured an adjustment period was needed. I decided I would give the K915 a try see if I could get used to it after a couple of days. Unfortunately, I never got that far. The first thing I noticed was that I could not see the key lettering without the LEDs on, even in the daylight. This means the keyboard is useless without backlighting turned on. So much for good battery life, I guess. Next, I decided to figure out how to set a solid color, without all the obnoxious flashing, color-cycling, or swirling non-sense, and just keep the brightness level as low as possible to extend battery life. Unfortunately, only one of the preconfigured settings is a solid color (cyan), and as far as I could tell, you cannot manually set other colors from the keyboard. Having custom color profiles could be useful for gaming sessions or special use-case situations, but for every-day use I just wanted a single solid-color with just enough brightness to read the keys. Oh well, cyan would be OK for now. I pressed the LED+0 keys to set the profile to cyan, as instructed in the sparse user manual, then adjusted the brightness to the lowest setting. That is when things started to go bad. I noticed that the keyboard would not remain in solid-cyan for more than a couple of minutes before it would revert to the out-of-the-box color profile. Every time I would set it back to cyan, after a minute or two and without fail, the keyboard would revert to the obnoxious color-cycling pattern. (The brightness level did remain at the lowest setting.) I thought maybe I needed a different driver and/or a software tool to get things setup the way I wanted, so I went to Logitechs website. The only software available is the G Hub package so I installed that... No dice. Seems all you can do is pick from preconfigured color profiles, which you cannot download unless you create an account with Logitech and give them your email address. Even worse, you must have their G Hub software running all the time to use the profiles. THIS IS A HUGE FAIL! I should not need to have their stupid app running, under a profile linked to my email address, just to use something as fundamental as a keyboard. And in any event, the G-Hub software did not solve the problem of the keyboard failing to stay in the solid cyan setting. So, I was done. It should not be this complicated. In the end I decided to just give up and send it back. Save yourself the hassle and skip the K915 TKL.
