> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayThis keyboard is not a terrible keyboard dont get me wrong, but there are a few bugaboos that drive me bonkers. The shift function of the keys are not rgb lit, makes it difficult sometimes at night to see certain keys like # & @ for example. The secondary (shift function) of some of the normal keys are also physically (appearance) swapped. The / above the ? for example. I also do not like the placement of the G keys. I hit them frequently instead of the caps or shift buttons. Overall my WPM and accuracy dropped. Those are the key points I wish to share.

> 3 dayHave owned the keyboard for about 3-4 months now. Pluses: - The USB lightspeed receiver more or less eliminates any latency; for the most part, unless you are looking for the quickest response time, there wont be any noticeable latency between key presses and response. - Being able to swap between USB receiver and bluetooth on the fly is extremely convenient. I am able to swap between my main PC and my side one without needing to change any plugs. - Battery life is insanely long (I personally dont use the RGB, so YMMV on this one); I havent needed to charge since my last full charge a month ago Negatives: - Fairly expensive for its price. For enthusiasts, this might not be the best value for what you are getting. It also definitely doesnt feel like a keyboard for this price (this is subjective). - Unique keycaps: if you want to swap them out, youll need to pay a premium to get keycaps with matching size.

> 3 dayI was skeptical about buying this keyboard based on the reviews I saw. I took a chance and am happy that I did. I wanted a TKL, wireless, USB/Bluetooth keyboard that is good for typing/work and gaming, has the Home/End/Pg Up/Pg Down keys in the traditional locations and also has the F keys offset (not directly above the number keys). $200 is a lot for a keyboard, but I trust Logitech and wanted to give this a try. It exceeded my expectations. I need the keyboard to be able to switch back and forth between a PC (Gaming) and a Mac (Work). On PC, I plugged in the lightspeed wireless dongle and I was done. On Mac, I paired the keyboard with bluetooth, it asked me press certain keys on the keyboard and I was done. When connected to the Mac via bluetooth, the Windows key changes to the Apple/Command key and the Alt key changes to the Option key automatically. It was seamless. I did not have to download any software or set any preferences to make this happen. I wanted to point that out because I couldnt find any other reviews that touched on that subject and this was important to know for my needs. They Keychron I was using did not have a wireless USB option, so I had to toggle back and forth between Wired USB and Bluetooth. To do so, you have to flip a switch on the side of the keyboard, then you have to flip a second switch based on if you want the keys to be Mac or PC. With the G915, all of this is gone. Its all wireless, and when you press the USB button its automatically set to PC keys...when you press the bluetooth button its automatically set to Mac keys (because I paired it with a Mac). Huge QoL improvement for me. Gaming wise...my first night I played with it, I won 6 straight in overwatch and got promoted to platinum so....take that as you will. In all seriousness though, there is no delay, no ghosting issues, no missed key presses or anything like that. It works perfectly. Typing wise, I prefer the tactile keys. The actuation point isnt super deep (like it is with Keychron) and the keys feel crisp and make a slightly audible click. I am fast and accurate. Very happy with this. The profile is suuuuper thin. So thin in fact that I dont need my wrist rest anymore. The Keychron I had was incredibly thick and without a wrist guard, it felt like my wrists were constantly angled up. Not the case with this keyboard. I dont care about lights but.....it has them, and there are several options available in the G-Hub software. On the negatives, the keys arent as tight as I am used to. They wiggle around kind of like a loose tooth might. Its not a huge deal, but its something I noticed that I thought was weird. The price is going to be the biggest negative for me. Paying $200 for a keyboard is unattractive, but since it covered all of my (weird) bases, I paid it. Wish it was close to $150. Overall, it fit my needs, performs better than expected and it cleaned up my setup quite a bit. Happy with the purchase, even if it was pricey.

Greater than one weekI 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.

> 3 dayI work and occasionally game on my computer. My wireless scissor keyboard (go wireless elite) was becoming an impediment to gaming as key presses didn’t create consistent press durations which is important for precision games like cs go and rocket league. So it was time to switch. I’ve always been a scissor switch keyboard guy. I know I’m in the minority but I love laptop style keyboards because I could just rest my wrist on the desktop and type away without awkwardly bending my wrist upward in order to clear the height of the keyboard. Unfortunately there are no gaming grade offerings in this domain so I got this keyboard and tested it against all the other low profile mechanicals. Logitech as always delivers high quality. I love the brown switches. They have a slight tactile bump but they aren’t loud and annoying like blues and unnoticeable like reds. Of all the low profile keyboards out there this is leagues above the rest. It beats Tesoro, Drevo and cooler master. Especially because the keys are slightly beveled allowing your finger tips to comfortably know where they are relative to the curvature they feel. A flat key doesn’t give you this kind of feedback. The volume wheel feels great. It’s has an expensive weight and feel to it that really exemplifies the level of quality of the w tire keyboard. It really shows how much attention Logitech pays to the feel of things which when it come to mechanicals is everything. My only gripe about this keyboard is I would do away with the macro bar. I just don’t need it. I don’t like that extra width on the keyboard. That being said it doesn’t add that much extra width and it’s not that big a deal breaker considering the actual tactile experience of the keyboard is second to none. 10/10

> 3 daySo, 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 dayFor such an expensive keyboard, the key quality is terrible. The letters are wearing off of the keys causing the backlight to shine through. Letter D looks like an O and S looks like a dollar sign from the paint wearing off. Could do a better job, Logitech.
