LIGHTSPEED = truly wired speeds from afar
Wow did I end up falling in love with this keyboard. The satisfying clicky keys have ideal travel, gives the impression I can type much faster than in reality. Our AlienWare Aurora R9 desktop came with wired peripherals. This wireless keyboard, along with separate wireless mouse, allow us to connect the PC to a 75-inch Sony and operate it from the sofa. Setup was easy as connecting micro-usb to computer to charge [note to Logitech, its 2020 and no usb-c ], plugging LIGHTSPEED dongle into usb slot, and voila, sit back and enjoy. 3 models of Logitech RGB mechanical keyboards GL Clicky Switch GL Linear Switch GL Tactile Switch PROS ——— + incredible 40 hour battery life + color strobe is bright and sexy + 5 adjustable brightness levels + plug-and-play wireless setup + LIGHTSPEED and Bluetooth 5.0 + solid build quality and weight + low-profile mechanical switches + Windows/Mac (though lack Mac keys) + Uber “clicky” feel + useful scroll wheel + wired and wireless usage + media control shortcut keys CONS ——— -fixed backlight time-out -auto-wake requires registered keyclick (not gyroscope) -micro-USB (not USB-C) -Logitech G Hub Software (not fully baked) -TKL models lack number pad -price compared to competition CONCLUSION ——————— If you are in the market for a super fast LIGHTSPEED RGB keyboard for your Windows PC (or Mac) and are not opposed to spending a bit more, nor put off by micro-usb charging, then look no farther than this amazing Logitech keyboard.

Quality and LIGHTSPEED
Logitech - G915 TKL Tenkeyless LIGHTSPEED Wireless RGB Mechanical Gaming GL Clicky Switch Keyboard with Back Lighting is one nice keyboard. I have many Logitech products and they do not disappoint. They always a quality product for a reasonable price. In the box you get an LIGHTSPEED connector cord, the keyboard and a quick start paper. The keyboard surface is aluminum so it will be very durable I think the black looks great with the keys and RGB! The keyboard is put together very well. The keys have a great feel for typing and gaming. The keys are not incredibly loud which is a plus in my books. The customization of the lighting per key is more confusing and difficult to set up the way you want. You have great flexibility but it can take some time to set up.Custom animations are a little more complex than other RGB keyboards I have used. The gaming experience is top notch! There is great response time and you cannot tell it is wireless. The volume controls are amazing and work well. It is nice that the volume bar cannot be spun to no end. Switching connections between Bluetooth and LIGHTSPEED connector is seamless. Switching works very well between the two. My personal experience the Bluetooth connection had a slight delay. LIGHTSPEED is the way to go for the best response time (they say 1ms). The battery life has been incredible. This is also true with the RGB going the entire time. You can customize the G keys. However, I have not tried that feature out yet. I give this 4.5 stars (rounding up to 5 as I cannot pick 4.5). The customization of the RGB could be a little simpler in my opinion. But I am sure many of you will love the flexibility and invest the time to make it perfect for you.

Solid, comfy (and expensive) wireless TKL
I own the full-sized Logitech G815 clicky but my keyboard sits on the smaller segment of an L-shaped desk and I have to angle it slightly diagonally to fit. I wanted to give the G915 TKL clicky a try for more space, less wires and better comfort . Like the 815, the 915 TKL is constructed of a thin metal body and low profile keys. The biggest obvious difference between the two aside from the 915 being wireless is the smaller TKL design of this keyboard. Despite being pretty thin, it has good weight to it and feels solid and substantial. The TKL version also jettisons the hardware macro keys. The setup guide wasn’t helpful at all due to vague confusing pictographs, invalid URLs and lack of context with each step. The guide includes a URL that appears to lead to a dedicated G915 TKL support page but actually dumped me onto the general Logitech support page. Clicking on the G915 TKL from Logitech’s main support page did the same. At the moment at least, the support page for this specific keyboard doesn’t appear to be live but the G-hub companion software is available. The pictographs in the guide instructed me to connect the lightspeed receiver to the USB extender, connect the extender to the included USB cable and connect the cable to the computer. It made no sense whatsoever but with no additional explanation nor resources available for clarification, I did it anyhow before realizing it was totally unnecessary. Setup is actually super easy without the guide: - Connect the lightspeed receiver directly to the computer - Power on the keyboard via the switch on the back - Enable the wireless button on top left of keyboard and you’re done. - Another option is to pair the keyboard to a device using the bluetooth pairing button. This process is especially useful for Mac users and anyone preferring Bluetooth over a USB receiver. Thankfully, Bluetooth setup is illustrated much more clearly in the guide I downloaded and installed the G-hub software from the G815 support page and was happy to see a release note indicating it had been updated for use with the G915 TKL. G-hub installed without issue and works perfectly fine with the 915 TKL. Through the G-hub software I can set key lighting and animations and assign key commands, actions or macros. The G-hub software also indicates remaining keyboard battery life and there is also a low battery indicator light on the keyboard itself. The keyboard can be powered off if desired when not in use to preserve battery life. The per-key RGB lighting is impressive. The keys are bright, vivid and easy to identify. The shift characters aren’t illuminated but it isn’t a huge deal for me personally. The keys have a comfy feel, solid tactile feedback and don’t require a lot of actuation force to register a stroke. The volume rocker also moves smoothly and accurately. The “clicky” key sound is just loud enough to offer audible reassurance of a keystroke without being overly loud or annoying. That being said, it’s not silent and like any clicky switch keyboard, could still potentially annoy others, especially a roommate. The low profile keys have a little more play than my full-sized keys but I personally have no issue with the feel while typing or during gaming sessions and see no drop off on my typing speed. Wireless performance has worked fine so far with no noticeable latency. It is a very pleasant and comfortable keyboard to use for both gaming and typing. The G915 TKL is a decent TKL keyboard that packs a lot into a small package. Leading the short list of cons is price. Two hundred plus is a lot to pay for a keyboard, particularly when there are some really nice wired and wireless TKL keyboards available for less than half the cost of the G915. That’s not saying the G915 isn’t worth it. Pricing is subjective and only the purchaser knows whether or not it is worth it to them. I’m merely saying if low latency wireless isn’t an absolute necessity, there are many other very nice, similarly designed TKL keyboards out there costing much less. For example, I have another TKL keyboard made by a different well-known manufacturer that I use with my gaming laptop on the go. It is similar in build and quality but is wired and has linear switches although tactile switches are also available. Both keyboards are about the same length, weight and thickness but my other TKL has full sized keys and is slightly narrower measuring top to bottom (see pics). It also sells for less than half the price of the G915. Aside from being wired, it’s pretty similar to the G915 in nearly every other aspect. The G915 TKL is nice and offers industry leading lag free wireless but if understandably outside a particular budget, is far from the only option available. The other con is the use of micro-USB. On a keyboard costing this much, I expected to see USB-C. It’s kind of like finding fake wood trim in a new Rolls Royce. My overall rating, it it were allowed, would actually be 4.5 stars with a half-star knocked off for price, micro-USB and the lack of support at release.

I LOVE This Keyboard. The Best I've Tried.
So, lets break down this ridiculously long title. Logitech G915 TKL is the product name. TKL stands for tenkeyless which means it doesn’t come with a number pad. Which is great for “eSport Athletes” as it gives your mouse more room to do its thang. There is also the Logitech G915 which is the full-size version of this keyboard that comes with a number pad. Both come with LightSpeed Wireless. Which in short is super-fast wireless tech that will allow you to game at the same levels as wired keyboards. RGB means it supports 16.7 million colors that you can adjust for each key. Last mechanical means the switch it uses. This keyboard supports linear, clicky, and tactile. More on that later. PACKAGING: Starting off with the packaging which I don’t always mention. But in this case, this product comes in at a premium price which means you want a premium opening experience. Which I am happy to report is excellent. It’s probably the best keyboard opening experience I’ve ever had. With it being a TKL wireless keyboard you may be traveling with it which means you can use this box which is also small and compact to ensure nothing damages it. LET’S GET NERDY: Keyboards are usually simple. You plug them in VIA USB and then you type away. The most complicated they get is by adding Bluetooth and trying to figure out which switches they are using (membrane, mechanical, or optical)? But this one is an over achiever and comes with both Bluetooth and LIGHTSPEED wireless. Along with your choice of three different low-profile mechanical switches. It comes with Bluetooth 5.0. To connect to the Bluetooth is simple. It DOES NOT require a dongle to be plugged into the device. There are two buttons on the top left of the keyboard. The first got hit by Voldemort and got imbued with magical powers and has a lightning bolt with waves behind it for LIGHTSPEED. The second right next to it is the Bluetooth logo. If you have not paired the keyboard to another device before once you press the Bluetooth button it will go into pairing mode while flashing blue. Then you go through the normal process. I did it on my iPad and iPhone and it had me put in a code on the keyboard followed by the enter key to fully pair it. If you want to pair it to another device, you hold down the Bluetooth button until it flashes (the lights on the keyboard will flash) and then you can connect to a new device. However, if you want to connect back to the first device you need to forget the connection on both devices and then go through the pairing process from scratch again. For my iPad I had to forget the device, turn off Bluetooth, turn it back on and then it would work. Which is disappointing at this price point. I would expect it to be smoother in transitioning from device to device. Last up we have the low-profile mechanical switches. Logitech calls their version “Low Profile GL Switches” which are incredibly similar to Kailh low profile chocolate switches. Which they worked in conjunction with. The only differences I was able to see between the two switches were that the GL switches have slightly lower overall travel at 2.7 mm compared to 3.0 mm. They come in three flavors. Red for linear, Brown’s which are tactile, and white clicky switch. All three actuate at 1.5 mm with a total travel of 2.7 mm with 50 grams of force. I think they are rated at 70 million clicks. They are mechanical switches which means that they do have a debounce delay and can develop double clicks. The Kailh chocolate switch has a debounce delay window of up to 5 ms so I assume these do as well. BUILD QUALITY/AESTHETICS: It sports a brushed 5052-aluminum alloy top plate that joins a steel-reinforced base. The bottom, top, and back are all made of high-quality plastic. With a lot of pressure, I was able to get just a very slight amount of bending. It feels ridiculously premium. The best I have ever felt. On the top right you have an aluminum-crafted volume wheel. This too feels incredible. It uses a light amount of force to scroll with. It has mild/moderate amount of pressure which is equal throughout the whole thing. It scrolls infinitely. If you shake it left to right, there is ever so slightly some wiggle. You cannot press it. Going left to right. You have your LIGHTSPEED toggle which if you press while it is on LIGHTSPEED will notify you of battery level via the battery light. Which changes color based on how much battery life you have left. Next to that is the Bluetooth, then Game Mode, then Brightness control. Which comes in at five stages (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 0%). They are covered in a rubber material. They take a mild to moderate amount of pressure to actuate with a tactile bump that feel remarkably like membrane keys. They are not even when pressing down on them. So, if you come in on the side you can feel one side depress before the other. The RGB lighting on it isn’t equal like they are for the normal switches but just as accurate as the rest of the board. Overall, this is the worst part of the keyboard for me and I just don’t think it fits well with the premium feel of the rest of the keyboard. Up next is the keys themselves. They are coated with oleophobic which is meant to minimize fingerprints. They feel good but they seem to wiggle a bit more than other keyboards. Your F1 – F4 keys are used for macros. With F4 being the recording and F1, F2, and F3 storing that info. In the top middle of the keyboard you have the battery indicator and notification if you are on caps lock or not. You cannot and I repeat cannot edit what each key does on this keyboard. You can only edit the F keys. So, for example if I want my right arrow button to be left mouse click I cannot do that. But I can assign left mouse click to be F12. On the back you can raise the keyboard at either 4 or 8 degrees. It also has a small slot that you can slide the dongle into. It does not come with a wrist rest. I don’t know why you would need one though as this is so low profile that a wrist rest wouldn’t really do anything more than what your desk is. Some shortcuts that you can do on the keyboard are by holding the FN key you can press F1, F2, or F3 to go through onboard memory profiles which include lighting. You also have two dedicated lighting profiles that you can access by holding down the lighting key and pressing “8” or “9”. To record a macro you press FN and F4. PERFORMANCE: I chose the clicky variant as that is my favorite type of switch. The clicks themselves are quiet. Especially, in comparison to Blues or Razers Clicky Opto-mechanical switch. They sound the same as the Opto-Mechanical switch just a lot quieter. I don’t think this would bother people in an office environment. As for the tactile bump it is very light. To the point I can barely feel it. I would have preferred this to be a bit more noticeable. For the LIGHTSPEED WIRELESS. On Human Benchmark I scored the same whether I was in Wireless or Wired mode. I also played Apex Legends, Escape From Tarkov, and GTAV and noticed no problems with latency, drops, or issues. As for Bluetooth. I didn’t play any games. But noticed no lag while typing. I got 113 WPM on a typing test. To switch back to LIGHTSPEED it takes about a second. To switch back to Bluetooth, it took 2 - 3 seconds. So, it is fast. I was pleasantly surprised. It was the same when going from the off position to the on position. Last, I was able to use all my saved lighting profiles and normal profiles in Bluetooth mode. Up next is battery life. They report that it is up to 40 hours with lighting on max. Or 135 days if lighting is off and you game for 8 hours a day. Which breaks down to about 1,080 hours. For me personally, I used a single color (orange) at maximum brightness and purposefully did not turn the keyboard off at night or when I left my computer. Using it like I normally would with a lot of typing and some gaming it went from 100% to 70% in 7 days and it reports I still have 28 hours left. So, I would rate the battery life as excellent. As for lighting. It is fantastic. It gets nice and bright. It is also accurate and shows orange and purple well. Logitech G Hub never froze or crashed on me. However, it is not user friendly at all and trying to figure out how to do something simple is tedious and often cannot be done. Which makes your ability to be creative with the lighting limited to just changing static colors and having simple profiles. At this price range that can leave a slightly sour taste in the mouth. Since I haven’t tried their other keyboards, I can’t say if that is a design flaw for this keyboard since it is wireless or because they just have limited overall potential. PROS: - Looks, build quality, features, switches, lighting, scroll wheel, size/shape/weight, performance, battery life, feel. CONS: - Cannot adjust individual keys. Only the F keys. - The top buttons feel a bit mushy and not as premium as the rest of the board. - Sell your first and second child expensive. - G HUB is not user friendly and limits what you can do. But it sure looks pretty. - Cannot customize the lighting as much as some other keyboards such as Razer or Corsair. - Bluetooth switching isn’t as smooth as I would like.

Great feeling keyboard
Starting off with the obvious, it's pricey. However, more than that i was concerned if it was worth the price. I was a bit skeptical of the feeling of a lowprofile keyboard, but the keys feel great. They aren't shaped like chicklet style keys but more conventional style so it felt right at home. The clicky feeling of the keyboard was really nice. It wasn't obnoxious but rather soothing. The build of the keyboard definitely feels premium and i love the brushed aluminum body. I love the TKL version bc it isn't taking up half of my desk space to allow more room for my mouse while gaming. The wireless connectivity and battery life are great. No lag issues and havent had to charge for over a week after constant use.

Thin, Light, Awesome!
I’ve been using the Logitech G915 TKL for a week now and it AWESOME! Looks-wise Logitech killed it! It’s sleek, thin, light, and with a beautiful brushed aluminum finish. I have it paired with the excellent Logitech G Pro Wireless mouse and the combo looks stunning on my desk. I love how the wireless gives me the freedom to easily tuck it away if I want to do something like reading or scribbling in a notepad on my desk. Both the keyboard and the keys are low profile making the whole thing is about the thickness of a closed ultrabook laptop. I’ve used the keyboard for writing emails and technical documents for work and can say easily that my typing speed does not feel impaired in any way as it is on some other gaming keyboards. In fact, I think my typing is even more fluid. I have the “clicky” model which does make a satisfying click whenever you press a key. Honestly, it is not any louder than any previous mechanical keyboard I have used in the past but probably would not be appreciated in a quiet office. Performance wise the LIGHTSPEED technology does not disappoint. I’ve tried to use Bluetooth wireless keyboards in the past for gaming but they do not work well for fast-paced shooters or games that require multiple keys pressed at the same time. I knew from my time with the G Pro mouse that wireless technology in games CAN feel just like wired and I can easily say the same for this keyboard. This week I’ve played some of my favorite games including Satisfactory, Fortnite, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I never once had an issue with a missed keystroke or anything. For the real test I tried the 2016 version of Doom which is a super-fast paced first person shooter. No problems there either. The keyboard does include Bluetooth with a dedicated button that will let you connect between the LIGHTSPEED dongle or Bluetooth connection. While I didn’t try the Bluetooth feature for gaming I am finding it incredibly useful for my tablet which is sitting next to my PC. I can simply pause my game, hit the switch, type out an email, then switch right back to LIGHTSPEED on the PC. It’s one of those features that now I don’t think I could live without. Of course, it wouldn’t be a gaming keyboard without RGB lighting! All of which can be controlled through the G Hub software. With the software installed you can not only control every aspect of the lighting down to individual keys but also create game profiles and macros. With just a week’s time I don’t have too much data on battery life. It needed a charge on the second day after taking it out of the box. However, I did not charge it prior to first use. Since then I’ve been on my PC for at least 10 hours a day and I still haven’t had to plug it in. One thing I do wish is that the keyboard had a USB-C port instead of microUSB for charging. I hardly have anything that still uses microUSB and in a few years that port will be completely obsolete. Ok – so I’m trying to think of some cons…but there’s really close to none. The microUSB port is minor. I do have one wishlist item if Logitech engineers ever read this and that is to allow the LIGHTSPEED mouse and keyboards to work with just one dongle. On the plus side though there is a storage nook on the underside of the keyboard to store the dongle. Pros Performance Thin and Light Excellent for Gaming Multiday Battery Life Customizable RGB Bluetooth for Second Device 2 Year Warranty Cons No USB-C Could be Noisy in quiet settings Overall – Highly recommend, in fact I’ve already had one friend buy this keyboard after I told him about it!

Excellent Keyboard With Only Minor Flaws
Son's Review: Pros: Excellent battery life, I only charge once every few weeks! (I use a mix of controller and keyboard/mouse so if you use the keyboard heavily it will probably not last quite as long, but very reasonable). Extremely light weight, portable, easy to click switches, amazing lighting effects. Works effortlessly with 0 drops in connection over the dongle and bluetooth. Cons: The key switches are great but the key caps are a bit wobbly, makes it feel a little cheap. One of my switches doesn't make the click sound (still works) but it's a key I rarely use so it didn't bother me much.

The keyboard that meets all the requirements
Since many of us are working from home our desk becomes our home office, gaming center, breakfast lunch and dinner table. I was in the market for a keyboard that does everything. A few important features for me was it had to be mechanical, have decent feedback, feels good to type on for hours and suitable for FPS gaming. I narrowed down to 4 keyboards that I thought would be suitable. I tested the Keychron V2, Razor Tourament TKL, Microsoft Sculp ergo and G915 (clicky). There's something that I love about each of the keyboards but ultimately I ended up with the G915 for a few reasons. 1. The feedback of the clicky is great and the sound is addicting to me. 2. It's just loud enough to hear the click but isn't overly loud to the point of it being annoying. 3. The spacing is perfect inbetween the keys. I have big hands and I found myself making typos often when keys are smaller. I also found that linear keys requires less pressure and I was making tons of typos on the Razor Tourament keyboard. 4. The MS Sculp ergo keyboard is great for long typing sessions for work but the keys gets stuck sometimes which overtime can be an issue. 5. The low profile keys is very attractive and I feel I type faster because of the shorter height of the keys. Some people buy this keyboard because it's wireless, it can do bluetooth and it's a gaming keyboard with decent battery life. I purchased 2 of these and my wife loves it as well. She said the battery least a good 10 days of heavy 8 hour work usage because you the low battery signal. At 179.99 I do believe this keyboard is a tad overpriced. But at the original MSRP it's not worth getting. I think if the price drops another 30 dollars it would be just right. Def give this keyboard a try if you have similar requirements as me! Good luck.
