Logitech G915 Lightspeed Wireless RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - GL Tactile

I originally had a Logitech G815 and bought this to get rid of the wire. My old one was a tactile G815, this one has clicky switches. The tactile took some getting used to, and I had missed keypresses and double keypresses until I got used to it. The clicky had no learning curve but was noisier. It's not as noisy as some other mechanical keyboards, but might be too noisy for an office environment. I bought both the G815 and G915 after I wasn't gaming much, simply because I liked the feel of typing on them. They really are a dream for typing. Unfortunately, in my particular case, I had to go back to an ergonomic keyboard due to a mild repetitive stress injury from long ago. It's a fine productivity keyboard, particularly once you turn the lightshow down to a softer ... MoreI originally had a Logitech G815 and bought this to get rid of the wire.

I bought both the G815 and G915 after I wasn't gaming much, simply because I liked the feel of typing on them. They really are a dream for typing. Unfortunately, in my particular case, I had to go back to an ergonomic keyboard due to a mild repetitive stress injury from long ago. It's a fine productivity keyboard, particularly once you turn the lightshow down to a softer light. The macro keys have all kinds of non-gaming uses, from inserting commonly-used special characters to launching applications. Just know that if you want to pass arguments to an application upon launch, the "arguments" textbox in G-Hub will not be passed to the launched application. You will have to make a batch file or PowerShell script (note, enabling PowerShell scripts might open a security hole on your computer), then launch the batch file or script via G-Hub. Batch files and scripts can enable all kinds of useful things through those G-keys. If you turn the lights lower, the battery goes from good to amazing. The media keys and volume nob are convenient, but not programmable. If you use the Lightspeed dongle (highly recommended as it has much lower latency), it is suggested that you attach the dongle to a USB hub on your desktop, or use the included dongle adapter to put the dongle on the end of the included USB cable so you can have the dongle on your desktop close to your keyboard. The battery is replaceable (remove screws under the sticker on the bottom of the keyboard). I prefer this over the TKL version of the G915 just because the thought of entering IP addresses without a numeric keypad sounds like a nightmare. I cannot stress enough how the low profile, low key travel, and low spring force on the keys make this a dream to type on. This keyboard is indeed expensive, but if you look at what we paid for mechanical keyboards on the original IBM PCs back in the 1980s, then adjust for inflation, it's still less expensive than what we paid for keyboards back in the day.

I went through a few keyboards before I settled on the G915 (and most recently, its little brother TKL), so in a way, I guess I'll review them both here. My first "gaming" keyboard was part of the Steelseries gaming bundle (headset, mouse, keyboard, and mousepad). I liked that keyboard, it had plenty of feedback, but the keys just felt too tall. Tried again with a Razer Blackwidow. Again, good feedback, keys are a touch tall.Then I came across these two in the store. At first I settled on the clicky, because ~C L I C K Y~. Oh my god, is it clicky. I could be playing Minecraft, typing an angry letter, or playing some COD:CW, it wouldn't matter. It is LOUD. Unfortunately, that's what I love about it, but it's possibly entirely too loud to have in small quarters with ... MoreI went through a few keyboards before I settled on the G915 (and most recently, its little brother TKL), so in a way, I guess I'll review them both here.

Unfortunately, that's what I love about it, but it's possibly entirely too loud to have in small quarters with a roommate (like a dorm room or a shared bedroom).Enter the TKL. Virtually silent, but still good feedback. I didn't want to wait for the clicky version of the TKL to come in, and I wanted to spare my fiancé's ears while she slept, so I got the TKL tactile.In my opinion, it's the better of the two, as there's not a row of G buttons down the left side (and I tend to over/underreach for the escape button--I'll be mashing it to no effect until I notice I'm actually hitting G1). Smaller, more portable, and an odd omission on the G915 becomes glaringly obvious on the G915 TKL: a slot for the USB dongle. The TKL has one, but its big brother doesn't? Maybe it's for the increased portability, but I still think it's an odd omission.As far as connections, I notice zero lag between the Lightspeed 2.4Gh and the Bluetooth; however, that comes with the caveat of my being an amateur gamer: I've yet to personally defeat the Ender Dragon without a partner and my KD on Cold War is about 1.6. I'm not that good.Overall, both keyboards are comfortable to use, especially if you're coming from laptop and chiclet style keyboards for the last 10 years. The click on the clicky version is extremely satisfying but also extremely loud. Even the Razer green switches were quieter. The tactile is quiet with good feedback (I personally don't like the lack of click--it's an adjustment :( ) and the better of the two if you don't use macros or need to map key functions very much or very often (I don't).

Hands down the best keyboard I have ever used in my life. The feedback is addicting. Click click click click click click click click click click click click. It is so satisfying. I ended up buying this keyboard for my other desk as well. This is probably the most expensive peripheral I have ever purchased. But I believe it is worth every penny. When it comes to working and playing, how your area makes you feel dictates how you’re going to perform. And every single time I touch that keyboard, it makes me feel like I’m ready to be as productive as possible and dominate the playing field.I truly wish I could use a keyboard for my job. I will probably get more done. I don’t make as many keystroke mistakes, and I can type much faster on this keyboard.I have always ... MoreHands down the best keyboard I have ever used in my life.

It makes me feel like my money is improving my life whenever I purchase any of their products. I truly appreciate the advancements in technology for peripherals every single time I buy a new version. Whether it’s a longer battery or a faster connection or being able to connect multiple devices. I mean logitech hands-down improves my way of living.
