- The Logitech G915 Lightspeed aims to be the best gaming keyboard released in 2019. It uses Logitech's new GL low profile switches and wireless Lightspeed technology. But is it really that much of an improvement over the Logitech G815 and how does it handle gaming?

I'm the type of guy who watches a review on a product I already own to try and make myself feel better about an absurd purchase.
That's relatable!! 😂
xD thats why I am here atm
same here ....its worth it right
which switch should i get? I'm currently saving up for this
@@bruhtdda6241 Do you really really need the wireless? i got it, its nice but I sitll don't know if its worth 250 bucks. if the wireless is really something you need then get this or even maybe look for other options but if you only wanna use it for gaming you should look for something else
the point of low profile keyboard is not to reduce its space on the desk (who ever thought that?) It's that lower profile is more comfortable for fingers to move over the keyboard and the angle on your wrist is less steep. I think those are very important things.
ikr he just seemed upset because he wanted it to be TKL. So much bias, he mentioned the fact that it was slim but not small like 4 times.
Low profile is definitely for space reasons, not comforts lmfao
@@DarkoPetreski No, it's for comfort. Some extra height doesn't take up more space on a desk. Extra width does. Anyhow, it seems that he doesn't get the point of the keyboard. While there's a TKL version right now, the point of this keyboard wasn't to minimize the space used. The point of this keyboard was to deliver a great wireless low-profile keyboard. And not only did they deliver, it's also one of the best low-profile mechanical keyboards around.
@@DarkoPetreski Lolwhat? Are you lacking in vertical space? The space on your desk isnt affected by whether or not your keyboard is low profile, it's for comfort.
Fun fact: the feet that fold out on keyboards are meant to help typist who don’t blind type to see the keys better, not for wrist ergonomics.
They were made in an era of typists who learned on typewriters, but are all retired at this point, so we should get rid of them, as they’re bad for your wrists.
3:04 GL Tactical
3:14 GL Clicky
3:22 GL Linear
Oh the tactical version is the best!
@@mart446 I just got the g815 tactical (same keyboard, just wired) and I LOVE it!
@@mart446 I seem to like the quieter linear more
Nah bro Clicky is the best
Since when StarLord reviewing keyboards?
hah you beat me to it
Hahahaha
Haha
Comedy gold
I looked at him and then I went to comment section and seen this. Lol made my day
Great keyboard, Used it only for MS Paint. Works awesome
Money well spent
@Andimon64 ye
For anyone still on the fence. I have been using the wired version of this keyboard with clicky keys for about a week now. It’s the best keyboard I have used so far as someone who is a fan of low profile. I’ve had 0 issues. I personally don’t get any delay on the volume scroll wheel. The keys feel great and have no sign of ware. G keys work fantastic. 10/10 from me
I got the exact same thing, it still work well?
I imagine you're pretty happy that they released the TKL of this! Thanks for making the video. I was very much interested in the sound of the keyclicks. I ordered browns so I'm hoping that suits me. The other option would be reds but they seem super soft.
Just got a G815 tactile, and i absolutely love it. It's a joy to write on, and i love the fact that it's so low that you can just put it flat on the table and you can just rest your wrists in the desk.
I prefer full-sized because I use keyboard not only for gaming but for work as well
Funny, I use a 65% for work...
Yeap. that numpad is so awesome...
i've considered getting the ducky numpad keyboard though (just a numpad) and a TKL keyboard along side it. but that's an expensive solution
I use a 60% for school and assignments.
I have a full-sized huntsman that I use at home, but the only time i touch the numpad is to enter in my password. I guess it really depends on the type of work you do.
I probably use a keyboard for work 90% of the time. No time for gaming haha.
What do you need a numpad for anyway? I like my main keys centered without my mouse on the other side of the desk
great job on showcasing how different switch (Linear,tactile,click) sounds like
Bought the tactile version with the help of this review. I am not experiencing any delay in the volume control. Tested on my desktop and notebook. Everything else in the review is spot on. Paired with the G502 Lightspeed I have gone full wireless.
That's the same combo I'm aiming for!
I used the Logitech K740 keyboard for typing for a while. This was the perfect replacement: Low strain on my wrists and way more control. No complaints. Thank you for the review.
Finally a RGB wireless mechanical keyboard that last more than a couple hours, I knew Logitech would be the first to do it.
The GL in the switch name comes from Good Luck finding new keycaps
AusDaes Logitech is known to straight up replace entire keyboards if your key caps break. Not sure if they would with this, but I’d be surprised if they didn’t have some sort of key replacements on hand.
@@aRoamingDuck RMAs are not a replacement for just being able to swap something out when youre doing something critical.
@@D3R3bel I'm not saying sending an entirely new keyboard is a good RMA strategy. I'm just saying, people contact Logitech for customer support on broken key caps, and instead of getting replacement keycaps they've been known to send entire keyboards. Logitech, being how they are you kind of need to go into buying their keyboards knowing aftermarket components aren't common. Keycaps break, to bad you need to wait for a replacement. That's just how it is.
@@aRoamingDuck You presented the fact as a counter argument to the joke, hence the interpretation that you are saying it is a viable alternative when it really isnt .
@@D3R3bel Just striking a conversation about how strange Logitech handles their keyboards. Rather than bashing their lack of options may as well bring up the kind of benefits to not having any third party options.
Just got the G915. The volume wheel in Windows is very responsive. There was a firmware update on 4.2.20 which may have contained a fix for the issue you stated. I'll go as for to say that I really like the volume wheel. Also a note for potential buyers: I got the clicky version and do not usually prefer loud clicks. But this one is just right for me, not too loud and feels great!
I have had this keyboard for about two years, and I absolutely love it. Very premium build quality, also never any issues
I bought a Logitech G19 ten years ago, and it cost way more than I was comfortable with. If it had been today, the price would have been around the G915 mark, so I don't think it's gotten that much worse since the end of 2009. I bought it then because I liked the feel of the keys compared to every other keyboard I tested, and it had great reviews. Today the space bar broke, and it has been used heavily for all those years for gaming and writing. RIP Logitech G19. You've been a faithful companion, and well worth the price.
This video has an average watch time of 1:48, when dmitri tells us the price
Edit: Thanks for all the likes wtf
Thanks bro you saved my time😁
the usual edit to thanks for likes ..... why?
@@M4TTYN why not I dont usually do it and I thought it only had 1 like and now it has 500+
Thanks! Im outta here!
@@M4TTYN somepeople thinks that like is an achievement and worth thanking, lmao
I'm typing on the G915 Tactile now, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase! I had a Corsair K70 for a few years, and this is a very welcome change. It feels comfortably different, and I've found that I type so much more quickly with the low-profile keys.
i just upgraded to ALL Logitech wireless gear. dude its so sweet.
One very interesting thing to notice as I upgraded from a G413 to the G915 is that the latter seldom gets greasy compared to the former
I'm not sure if they had used different materials for their premium keyboard
That matters a lot to me since I'm the kinda person who eats in front of the computer but hates using a keyboard cover
It feels good not having to wipe my keyboard every few hours
4:35 beautifully complimented by the SHP9500's 😍
Nice review, thanks. Just wanted to contribute to say I've not experienced any lag with the media/volume wheel in Windows 10. I use primarily for programming/productivity & one other thing I'd add is that the G915 has a nice, solid & heavy build so it's not likely to slip under normal use. Just something I kinda like!
this is actually perfect for me, I have pretty bad carpel tunnel and after getting this keyboard it actually helped quite a bit! I also appreciate the full size, because those extra keys might not seem useful at first, they absolutely are, for both gaming and work, love this thing to bits
I just bought the 815 (I'd considered the wireless one but it never leaves the desk, so didn't seem worth it). I like having the numeric keypad because I play a few games that make use of it, but also because I use the same machine for media editing / work. The volume roller on my wired version is instant - no lag that I can see. It's actually my first mechanical keyboard since the 90s (I've been on scissor actions since then). That clicky version really reminds me of being at school 25 years ago 😂
"Who would buy this?"
Me: Looks left and right
Just got mine, it's fantastic. Love it!
Thanks for the depth of your review.
Id love a 96% board like this, all the keys mostly, but compact and lowprofile.
I think some software updates have improved the product since initial launch. More specifically, I experienced zero lag when spinning the volume wheel with Windows 10. I did spend quite a bit, but I was able to get it on sale for $200 at Best Buy. So far, I'm pretty happy with the buy. Bought it mostly for office use, so I needed the 10 key addition. No TKL here.
I just picked one up for $127. Got it on sale for $159 and got an additional 20% off the sale price for recycling an old $5 keyboard lol.
That's pretty good! Mine is still going strong, but it's still tough to update the firmware. You can't update it via Bluetooth and for some reason my laptop won't recognize the keyboard when I connect it via micro USB. In terms of tech, this keyboard is older now, which I'm guessing is one of the reasons you were able to get it cheaper (my original comment is two years old). I'd imagine a newer version would connect via usb-c.
That intro to the Lian Li ad was trippy... I love it 😍
Also... "gives you room to grow" 😂
Loving the sharpness of the clicky switch sound! So satisfying
It's the numpad Dmitri. I love me the Numpads
Ikhwan Arif Also very helpful when doing work related stuff.
@@watchboy987 and more easy for key bind... like most of my numpad were used for buying item in csgo.
サツッピミク macro keys on the left tho..
Yeah it's so ridiculously to see people with huge desks and gigantic 900x400mm mouse mats having just a dinky puny TKL keyboard. It's a desktop PC. I don't want to lose essential features.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 Only buy what you're going to use though, right? It would be a waste of money otherwise. What qualifies as "essential" varies from person to person.
I just picked this keyboard up today (clicky) version and I must say testing it out in the store, it was the best feeling keyboard out of all brands' hands down. Razer had nothing close to this thing and Corsair my go-to brand felt limp keyed compared to this board. This is my new all-time favorite keyboard. It is a bit on the larger side, but I'm willing to get used to it because it is just an awesome feeling keyboard. Logitech makes some very nice products and this keyboard is just another example of the fine craftsmanship they put into their products. Big thumbs up to Logitech!
Excellent, thorough review. Thank you.
Thanks for this review, it helped me decide what keyboard to buy. I did end up buying this particular keyboard, sure it's expensive, but I'm not one to cheap out on my keyboards. I for one like the number pads on my keyboards.
Logitech: Never happened to us during testing....
Also Logitech: we do have a replacement program for the keys if they break
Sure logitech sure , never happened to you
@esperCELL You do realize that Hardware Canucks are paid for their work on tech reviews and are thus also defined as 'professionals'.
logitech is the new apple
@esperCELL I'm glad you told me that Logitech makes devices strictly for "Professionals" not the average consumer so it should be fine /Sarcasm @espercell...you are a dumb ass
@esperCELL Logitech legs keycaps break quite easily. I have a g810 Orion spectrum and I broke 5 legs keycaps till I got it. cherry mx are much harder to break
@esperCELL omg bro come on ur so pathetic and stupid!!
Logitech should come out with a G715. Remove the G and M custom keys, fix the volume wheel, curve the edges for safety, and reinforce the key stems with a thin pin-like metal.
Those G-keys are a pain in the ass.. still not used to them. I constantly press wrong.
Bough Havit kailh blue, when it came out and it's been so good that I bought one for work, my father and my spouse bought one as well. I'm glad Logitech are making low profile keyboards as well - they feel great to type AND game on.
I love gaming and working on this keyboard, simply the best out there for now. :)
I would buy a TKL of this
With better keycaps and USB C for sure
I would that too. Even if it's 200 USD.
and custom paracord braided cable and custom hand-painted double PBT keycaps as well as custom limited edition built-in GPS
@@Gadekko your wallet will be dust dude to wait GPS what?
same, TKL or 75% and I'd insta buy this
While this board is indeed insanely expensive, I am pretty blown away by it. Just got one a few days ago, and coming from cherry mx reds on my HyperX Alloy Elite RGB, I absolutely love the GL Linear/ Kailh linear switches. They are so quite, extremely fast and smooth. The keyboard is so ridiculously thin and the keys are really fast to actuate. My movement in game has definitely gotten better vs mx reds.
My volume wheel doesn't have the issues Dmitry described in the video. The windows volume doesn't lag behind when I scroll it, and to me the wheel feels better than what I've used in the past on the hyperx board and K70 boards.
I charged it to 100% when I got it, and its been 4 days with a few hours of gaming per day and its still at 90%. This is with RGB color wave on too. The keyboard has power saving that turns the LEDs off after a few minutes of inactivity, and puts the board to sleep after a while.
Its definitely expensive, but its like the perfect keyboard for me. Allows me to couch game when I want to. And it looks gorgeous. I also prefer full sized. I'd say if the G915 drops down to like $170, then thats a good deal. At $250 I'd wait on a sale.
it seems amazing for me too, and I would get the 815 no problem (wireless is good but no for paying that much extra).
But still, never would pay over $100 for keyboard.
Great feedback man, does the keyboards wheel function as volume control at all times? Or does it change function when you change applications? Thank you
I bought this in the linear version about a week and a half ago. I have to say this keyboard is absolutely amazing. Typing is smooth and not overly noisy. It looks and feels awesome. The profile is much smaller than you'd expect for a full size keyboard.
Long shot question, 7 months later. Did you notice any weird behaviour or did you encounter any problem in the meantime? I'm thinking of getting one...
Just got a 25% off code and it's only 187 now hehehe
just got mine today, and i absolutely love it. the sound of the keys and the custom lighting options i think i'm in love with typing again. i mean omg does it sound super nice and looks amazing.
5 days later is it still worth buying? im wondering because i might buy one soon
@@lunai.6798 honestly if you want a really good keyboard yes. It's a bit on the high end but it's worth it to me.
The desk being a wrist rest was the deciding factor for me to look else where. With large and long arms it’s helpful to had a raised wrist rest and platform for typing. Thanks for your awesome review I’m subbed for more great content
Much better implementation of the low profile design here than with the cooler master low profile keyboards, specifically the keycaps
Yea, the CoolerMaster keycaps suck. I say this as the regretful owner of a SK630.
still loving the g810 orion spectrum
just wait until you try the G815, the sequel. the g810 was a gorgeous keyboard, but it was held back by Romer Gs. these new switches will blow your mind. as Dmitri says, I'd probably skip the linears, but the clickys are wonderful.
@@elenchus what's wrong with Romer-G?
@@Caution40404 Nothing if you like them. If you're used to mechanical keyboards though, they feel very rough and their "tactile" actuation point is borderline undetectable. Basically, Romer Gs were switches designed to prioritize RGB lighting above all else, which is why Romer Gs are among the only mechanical switches that have center-keycap lighting. Unfortunately, this apparently came with some compromises in feel.
Personally, I would vastly prefer a decent membrane keyboard than a Romer G, but like I said, this is all very subjective. If you tried out a ton of keyboards and found yourself loving Romer Gs, then that's all you need to know. There isn't an objective right answer for everyone.
@@elenchus Ah I see what you mean. I personally like them for their short travel distance. I only wish they had better and more noticeable tactility.
Do you know any better mechanical keys with short travel and good tactility?
@@Caution40404 I know it's cliche, but honestly, the clicky switches in the new 815 and 915 are stellar and have very short travel. I haven't been able to try the tactile version yet, but judging from what Dmitri says, they're probably really good too.
I would describe these new LP switches as feeling like Cherry MX blues, but with half the travel and half the resistance. Very light, very short switches, but with comparable feedback. Tactile bump is a bit reduced compared to a blue, but the sound is very similar.
I am madly in love with this G 915 wireless for $250.... so many options! I don't think I will ever use them all. Very satisfying typing.
Thanks for the detailed review.
PLEASE REVIEW AND SPECS OF THE LIAN LI O11D XL!!!
Ok Chris Pratt
I bought this keyboard many years go and it still does not fail to disappoint.
Great vid guys. Really good insights.Would really appreciate a bit more idea on the tactility of keys. This is a big issue for all gamers. Some better reference to each type (IE comparison to other keyboards and usefulness for types of gaming) would really help. 😋
I really like that keyboard a lot. I would definitely like for Logitech to make something similar for Mac OS. The clicky switch seems like the one I would buy as well. The USB-C isn't a big deal for me Dmitry but I am glad you brought it up as there's plenty of people that would like to see this more often. I am one of them BTW.
Wait a minute don't you edit with FCPX as well D? Could you do some Mac specific keyboards one day? That would be appreciated. Thank you.
I got something you'll love, go check out the keychron k1. Just as high quality and the same thickness and 1/3 the price with native macOS support.
Logitech should make a extended powerplay for the keyboard and mouse
Got G815 tactile in white as my first MKB- love it - I use G keys all the time - looks professional also for work - great RGB adjustability - also USB port for wireless mouse dongle is a nice feature.
Just bought this with the Clicky switches, absolutely love it. The volume wheel has 0 lag for me.
Your advertising is mesmerizing and bizarre.....
I love it :')
$250 for a gaming keyboard? That's absolutely absurd!!!!
(Clicks on comment post button with $150 Logitech gaming mouse).
I spent 30 bucks on my M65 Pro . Wtf type of mouse do you have?
was about to balk at the price too, then I realized the hypocrisy of it considering I was using the G502 wireless and powerplay system to post my thoughts
(clicks with $150 Logitech mouse after sliding it on the $100 wireless charging mousepad)
It's probably going to be decently priced after a while tbf.
@@87togabito I recently bought the g502 with the mat too and I've got to say it is the best mouse I've ever had 😂
Guys i'm not alone in this group then lol. Seriously though, the 502 wireless and powerplay is soooo worth it. I wish the mouse was lighter though
The G915 is amazing. I had it for half a year and do not have any problems
I spend roughly 8hrs a day on pc with this keyboard. And the battery is top tier. I can go about a week on full backlight, about 14 days on medium backlight and a month without a backlight.
Apart from it being mechanical and having an amazing battery lifetime, the volume controls come in really handy. Also the build is not plastic. It's full metal.
Definitely worth the money.
Amazing review!
me watching this review
my wallet: boi you broke AF
Damn KAILH! JUST BUILD MY KAILH LOW PROFILE KEYBOARD!
Havent been into PC until really recent and I was so surprised by just how barely existent the low profile KB market was especially for budget boards where low profile practically doesn't exist at all but my god these shorter switches look so nice
already did and love it. even if you dont game the satisfaction of typing on this keyboard is incredible
omg. this keyboard looks sexy as hell. although I agree, I want a TKL version.
I want to review this keyboard (s) on my channel as well
Guesd what Logitech announced today
To its credit, the keyboard does look amazing.
But yeh, too expensive for me, especially if it doesn't have the option to wire it via USB A or USB C.
The sound... Oh Yeah! Love the Tactile one.
I love how to ROG claymore comes as a TKL version and you can simply buy the keypad separately and attach it to either side of the keyboard. Best of both worlds imo. Might be nice if there was a low profile version.
Are you going to review the new TKL version?
I personally love my TKL clicky version. I don't mind full size boards, but it was an extra $50 for the macro keys and number pads and I simply don't use either feature enough, so I returned the full size version and got me the TKL since it was still returnable.
Wait, you have the 65% Ducky?! Review please!
someone prob already did one on it already
@@M4TTYN Brandon Taylor LUL
I've got that Ducky One Mini and god it's amazing, definitely worth the price tag
@@putintin8730 no it's kinda trash
@@putintin8730 I prefer my razer huntsman elite over that plastic trash anyday
Hey Dimitry, very informative review, as always, but I have a question that is about the dongle: can it support both the keyboard and lets say the G502 lightspeed mouse for instance? I gonna upgrade my peripherals for 2022. thanks
Love this keyboard. Full size ftw
Yeah, the price is really expensive, but that is one SEXY keyboard.
6:06 I guess you could say It had n key rollover ahaha...
Wp
I am so glad Logitech finally have a low-profile keyboard series on their own. A bit late but finally here. But to my personal liking, I'd rather have another version that cut down macro keys while keeping volume keys instead of a scroll. That might help make the keyboard smaller.
I am absolutely getting this keyboard lol...there has never in my entire life a keyboard I have ever felt so relaxed typing on and listening to. I am literally getting it for this feeling/sound of the keys alone
Thank you logitech, finally a keyboard that's full sized, lookin clean and sexy too.
"Who would buy this?"
Me: Looks at G915 and G703 inside my Amazon parcel...
Yeah I mean, really the issue here isn't that they're over-charging, it's that the entire Keyboard market is pathetic, and thus logitech can ask for whatever it wants if it offers a high speed, reasonably weighted, mechanical keyboard, with wireless, RGB, and low profile, including a keypad.
That's it, it's a complete feature set, NO OTHER KEYBOARD MANUFACTURER OFFERS IT. So it's worth the price by definition since it's the only option for someone looking for a no compromise experience. Could it be done for less? Absolutely, but clearly the R&D departments at Razor and all the other companies have their heads shoved so far up their own asses they are incapable of figuring out how to offer it, so Logitech wins by default no matter what price point they put on their hardware.
I bought it just because it's the first keyboard to offer all the features I want in one package, the closest one before this was the G613, which didn't have backlighting at all making it hard to use at night, was too thick, making it hard to easily store and move, and had a wrist rest, which I understand many people consider a 'plus' but for me is a huge minus since it adds to the bulk and gets in the way more often then actually being helpful since I use my keyboard at my couch while gaming, not at a computer desk.
There were other high speed mechanical backlit low profile keyboards prior to this, but I do accounting as my day job, and none of them offered a numberpad, so again I had to compromise.
It's as simple as this, if you make the only product of it's kind, you can ask whatever you want for it, and people WILL buy it. So to answer the question that he idiotically thought was rhetorical "LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL BUY IT," and they aren't stupid for doing so, they push the other manufacturers to recognize a market exists for this product once they pry their heads out of their asses, and then the market will open up for reasonably priced products including all these features. If he comes along and says the new products make sense, and people who bought the old ones are stupid, then he fails to recognize that those who bought this keyboard are the reason new ones were created, as they demonstrated the existence of the market.
Just about every single other reviewer praising the product in general, and being a 'bit' wary of the price is more accurate, this is a clickbait title for a video, and his general tone, seeming to assume no one should buy it is at best ignorant, at worse, demonstrating an extreme self-absorption and incapability to recognize the perspective of others. From a purely comfort perspective, if you work typing all day long like many of us do, this is nothing to pay for the additional comfort.
@Gray Au You new here?
It a super niche market, I mean... low profile wireless mechanical keyboard. Few years ago there wasn't even a market for wireless mechanical keyboards because there were practically none. Materials used a quite premium and they know they are not going to sell a lot of these, gotta pay those R&D costs somehow. Just get a regular keyboard if the price really is an issue.
@Gray Au fucking affirmative. half the comments here justify papa Logitech's pricing so much that their bootlicking is palpable, and then comes this guy at the first reply with an entire fucking essay of how beyond salvation he is from practically swallowing their entire foot, completely at a loss of words how something as repulsive as that can be typed by one's own volition, even more dreadful that the majority actually SHARES his sentiment.
world is too far gone, pls reset.
@@uwaa4467 It's really basic supply, demand, and competition. You and @Gray Au are only giving consideration to manufacturing cost when there's R&D, labor, distribution, and low demand. You both are more than welcome to buy $15 keyboards, there are options out there for y'all.
I notice you have the new creative soundblaster AE9 on your desk.. could you do a review on that please?
I bought the keyboard linear type a few months ago and i am very pleased i did so. I do not have any lag on the volume roll and find it also very usefull in games, music and other stuff. Yes the edges are a bit sharp, but not that it bothers me. And the price, yes for what you get what, like all in life. I had bought it on logitech for 168€ btw inc., you must look for promotions you know 😁
Hold on. The Lian Li 011-Dynamic XL isn't even on their website yet. Do we have a release date on that thing? I mean cool keyboard but I've been waiting for the XL since CES
I’m curious about that too
Me too man. ek strx 2080 ti waterblock has been waiting to go in this baby
It’s out now on Newegg. I’m in the same boat as you.
Full size is still the best for me since the numpad is so useful for work. I can compute fast rather than using the top number keys.
I guess what im saying is i would rather have a single keyboard for both gaming and work rather switching one to the other.
Have you tried a TKL with a separate numpad off to the side? I used to be a fullsize guy 100% but I find a smaller keyboard makes for a much cleaner deskspace - having a numpad tucked away when I need it for number punching is pretty cool.
Kevan Morin i do have a tkl sitting and collecting dust and never tired a separate numpad still. I dont know why but when i need to instantly switch from gaming to work, i feel a separate numpad would be a hassle to get out of the drawer and connecting and setting up.
Maybe its just me though.
Paradoxal feelings. You don't make sense.
@@justanotheryoutubeuser5029 try the Asus ROG Claymore, it's about £150 on Amazon UK, and it comes with varying switches.
I have a huge desk so my keyboard and mouse are ergonomically separate anyway. And games like Eve Online are nice to have the numpad. So I'm a full board user as well. I'd like a 10 keyless board for my HTPC as I have one of my spare boards on a lap desk and it uses the whole desk lol.
i've been use it for 1 month and it's worthed. it's complete package for me (numpad, multimedia keys, volume scroll, macros, rgb light, slim profile keys) and the most important thing this is wireless. i have no comparison between g915 with other wireless keyboard. i came from corsair k70 lux and my setup now is very clean without cables. :D
damn dude... such a great review!!! thanks a lot, rly appreciated it! keep it up :-D

Sooo, one of CZcams's most experienced reviewer managed to break a "non pbt cap" but it's extremely sturdy. Logitech reports never happened before. BS.
Man, I played with the smaller version at micro center and I loved it. Getting rid of my hyper x alloy origin for it.
Great review, but I was expecting some testing on gaming and the response in wireless mode.
Where can you buy the Lian Li XL case? I cannot find it anywhere.
Of course just built in the 011 and now there's a new one. That's life in tech though. Would have liked that little bit of extra space.
It's releasing next week according to their Facebook.
@@cumeatsenergordon It was first shown at CES.
It pays to follow the coverage.

lucas rem Interesting comment.
Care to elaborate?
The media keys volume lag is probably a Microsoft or Logitech software bug. My G810 doesn't lag. Do note that I'm using an old version of Win10 and I'm using LGS instead of G-Hub.
I concur. My G915 has no lag in the volume roller.
I second this with my G810.

Windows setting, do a fresh install, and it is fixed!
Noobs need to do that more, forget updates, just do a new install if you fail understanding it!
@Hardware Canucks Think about gaming keybinds. Useful to have the tenkey for more options regarding that.
I just purchased mine yesterday, and I don't have any lag with the volume wheel at all, the response is instantaneous.
Hope Logitech come out with a wireless version without the macros and profile buttons and the volume wheel, just to keep it more compact
This. It's such a lovely keyboard, but if I could get it without macro keys, and with USB-C, I'd be a happy camper. Oh and the volume wheel. Come on, Logitech.
Low-profile is beautiful, but $249 is painful.
exactly Razer only xbox keyboard is the same priced a console keyboard.... these main OEM's killing our wallet's man to for full sized to TKL to their prices be 120 to 150 and up 60% to alternatives be cheaper well given you don't go for all the best things in the DIY keyboard parts list but man .... that price is painful indeed
Gamdias hermes p3. Same switch, different keyboard, but 85 bucks. It´s a charm of a keyboard.
@@ionutdanielserban9498 thanks for the suggestion, but G915 is still far ahead man. At least for me.
@@STNG17- far ahead in what? that they charge 150 bucks + for extra buttons and wirelless?? or you think logitech makes ducky/leopold level of quality? or because they claim kailh choc switches as theirs?
I've always like big talk keyboard with MX Blues but I love this G915, I switch back between this and the TKL version depending on workload and how much stuff I need to keep on my desk at once. Using the GL Clicky switches.
What is the typing experience on this? Now that you have had it for a while, have you used it much for productivity? I feel like the low profile might not be good, but I'm coming from the G810. Also, looking at the new keyboard, it makes me think they should have a new design for the wireless mice. The current models don't appear to have a similar look / feel / color / etc.
2:12 I laughed when he said they came in three flavours
"This is more than 2x the size". Shows image where the ducky 2 is like 60% of the g915 xD.
I literally thought the same thing. I was like "Are we looking at the same keyboard here?"
Expensive for sure but I was trying it at the store and I must say that its really nice to use. Looks great too. I prefer TKL though for gaming but it's personal reference.
I just love the sound when typing
