Worth the $
It seems like a high price for a keyboard, but it also has every feature you could want! Including BOTH bluetooth and lightspeed wiereless is a nice touch and all in a very slim design. The clicky switches are very nice and definitely live up to their name. I would own more of these if they weren't this high priced.

Wireless without compromises
There are a lot of mechanical keyboards on the market that feature advanced features catering to gamers and people looking to show off their design chops. There are slightly less mechanical keyboards on the market allowing people who want to enjoy the superior typing experience provided by a mechanical board without needing to worry about running a wire back to your computer. There is surprisingly little overlap between the two groups. But the G915 manages to fit into that narrow little sliver of the Venn diagram, and does so with surprising aplomb. One of the first things I noticed on taking the keyboard out of the box is how well built the whole thing is. While the bulk of the keyboard is still plastic, the machined aluminum top plate gives it a surprising amount of heft and rigidity for how thin it is. The G915 is barely larger than some of the portable Bluetooth keyboards I've seen being sold for use with smart phones, and yet there's barely a hint of deck flex or any kind of fitting gap in the seams. Even better is the fact that they've found a way to include integrated storage for the keyboard's RF dongle, a particularly important addition seeing as it sticks out far enough that I don't think I'd be comfortable keeping it plugged in on a laptop if I wanted to throw the whole setup into a backpack to take along with me. In using the keyboard for typing and gaming, I've found its performance to be very good overall, though perhaps not quite matching some of the larger boards I've tried. The short travel distance you get with the low profile switches makes for a very responsive board overall, though there will likely be a little bit of adjustment time required if you're using to typing on a full size mechanical as it's very easy to use too much force and end up banging away at the keys. Unfortunately in testing my keyboard, one of the tactile "clicky" variants, I also discovered that the switches' actuation point where they register a key press is slightly shallower than the tactile bump meant to provide feedback. There's easily enough tension in the spring to keep this from being a problem if you're just resting your fingers on the home row or WASD keys during normal use, so I don't think this is likely to be a serious problem for most. But if you're the kind of gamer who habitually rides a key just shy of the actuation point, it's worth considering that you might have a bit of a hard time doing it with these particular switches. Speaking of reaction time, let's talk about transmission delays. It's commonly accepted by many that wireless peripherals in general have to contend with a certain amount of latency that can make them either unreliable or simply less desirable for gaming purposes. Having tried it in all three modes (Wired, bluetooth, and Logitech's proprietary Lightspeed wireless) I can confirm that latency and reliability do not appear to be significant issues. Wired and Lightspeed modes are rock solid, though admittedly you might encounter some issues with the latter if you don't have a relatively unobstructed path between the keyboard and the receiver. In recognition of this, they thoughtfully include an adapter which can turn any standard micro-USB cable into an extension that can bring the receiver out onto your desk. There is admittedly some noticeable lag in Bluetooth mode, but despite my best efforts I couldn't get it to drop any keypresses. But if you're determined not to risk it,, plugging the keyboard in with a micro-usb cable will immediately switch it over to wired operation. So, now that I've adequately covered all the technical performance, let's talk about the creature comforts. The keyboard can be set to elevations of 0, 4, and 8 degrees using the integrated feet, and as one might expect from a product designed to maximize your desk space there isn't an integrated wrist rest. Media controls are more than adequate, with a nice large wheel to use for volume control or whatever else you might want to configure it for using Logitech's G-Hub software. There's also options for two different key mapping profiles (with the default gaming mode disabling common problem keys such as the windows and context menu buttons) and support for full per-key lighting profiles that work in both Lightspeed and wired modes. Switching the keyboard over to Bluetooth will bring up a standard rainbow cycle, and you can control the brightness or turn off the backlight completely with a dedicated button on the top of the keyboard. There are also three macro buttons (sharing space with the F1, F2, and F3 keys) as one would expect on such a board. The only thing that's missing is built in integration with other desktop RGB ecosystems like iCue or Aura Sync - though there's always the chance that it could be added at a later date. Overall, the G915 is an excellent keyboard and arguably the first mechanical board I've seen that could really qualify as portable. Thin and small might not be for everyone, but Logitech has really done it right here.

I love it
I took a chance on i was scared at first because of the price. But once it came I seen why it was $229 its the best the battery life is so good in one week the battery life only went down 5% its a nice and heavy the buttons feel amazing!

Best of the Best!
This keyboard is honestly perfect! The click is audible and responsive, but not nearly as loud as some of the other clicky switches out there (in my opinion). The wireless functionality hasn't given me any hiccups, and the RGB is a nice touch. The only downside would be the price, and the fact that it still uses a micro USB for charging (would have preferred USB-C).

Amazing keyboard for gaming and everyday use
Keyboards are sort of a collector’s item for me. have a nice collection of them because I’ve been searching for the ideal mechanical keyboard for gaming as well as my everyday uses. Mechanical keyboards are widely popular with gamers worldwide, but they can also be great for regular computer tasks. So, for a number of years I have been testing out a variety of keyboards trying to find one that has a lengthy battery life, connects wirelessly to my MacBook Pro and Windows laptop, is compact in size, provides a remarkable clicky sound and feel from the keys, and, of course, built-in RGB backlight. The most recent keyboard I’ve tried out is the G915 TKL from Logitech. It’s a tenkeyless Wireless RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard that features LIGHTSPEED wireless technology. The Logitech G915 TKL Wireless Mechanical Keyboard is designed to enhance the gameplay experience for gamers. It features low-profile mechanical switches (half the height of standard mechanical switches) and is made with aircraft-grade aluminum for durability. Users have the choice of three different switches — Clicky for tactile feedback, Linear for smooth keystrokes, and Tactile for a discernible bump. On a single charge, the G915 TKL can have up to 40 hours of use time and it provides low battery warnings at 15% via the keyboard LED indicator and a pop-up notification from the G Hub software. The keyboard has dedicated media controls for easy access to play, pause, advance, rewind or mute your media. There is a G915 keyboard that includes the number pad, but part of the reason this keyboard was developed was to provide more room for mouse movement while gaming. The keyboard is designed to work with a wide array of computers included both Window and Mac operating systems. This is one of the reasons I continually seek out new keyboards. I want to have one that can work seamlessly with my Windows laptop (used exclusively for gaming) and my MacBook Pro (used for both gaming and productivity). I don’t like having to bounce back and forth between two keyboards when I switch between systems. The G915 TKL provides me the option to switch back and forth between systems easily with either the Bluetooth connection or the LIGHTSPEED Wireless USB receiver. SOFTWARE Logitech provides a software package called “G Hub” for users to customize their keyboard experience. This is pretty typical for gaming keyboards and even though I use my for ‘everyday’ use and not just gaming, I had some fun customizing different profiles and changing the function keys around. I do want to point out that in order to use the functionality of G Hub you must remain connected to it. That means, you have to be connected using the LIGHTSPEED wireless feature either through the USB receiver or by direct wired connection through the provided Micro USB cable. I found it interesting that Logitech does not have the G915 TKL or its predecessor listed as support keyboards in the list for G Hub. Once I figured out that Bluetooth mode was incompatible, I didn’t have any issues with using G Hub. Therefore, I assume that Logitech just hasn’t updated their compatibility list in a while. One of the main features I really appreciate with the G Hub software is the dashboard. With the dashboard, you can view all the details of your connected devices and make quick updates to firmware with just a few clicks. The main settings you can control within G Hub (at least for the G915 TKL) include: LIGHTSYNC: The ability to customize lighting effects and control how they are displayed on your computer. ASSIGNMENTS: This was probably the feature I had the most fun with. Within Assignments, you can map the F keys to control different system commands, create macros, assign actions (if available), place commands on a specific key, and even drag/drop system controls onto the keyboard. GAME MODE: The third main feature within G Hub for the G915 TKL was customizing Game Mode. This feature really just allows you to ignore keys for gaming that normally ‘get in the way.’ FORM Because I like to keep my desk set-up clean and free of clutter, I LOVE the low-profile nature of the keyboard. It sits approximately one inch tall and doesn’t have a large case surrounding the main keyboard. I really love this design choice. The media keys are a nice touch, but since you can customize your F keys in the G Hub software, they could essentially be eliminated. There is a scroll wheel included for the volume control and a place on the underside of the keyboard to store the USB receiver when it’s not in use. I also really like the choice to use aluminum for the case because it makes the keyboard lightweight while still being very robust and well-weighted. There are small feet that angle the keyboard approximately 4º, which is great for typing and gaming. As far as the switches go, my personal preference is usually geared towards Blue switches or switch types that are similar. The mechanical switches that are included in the G915 TKL are Logitech’s advanced mechanical switches designed specifically for gaming. They are called “GL” and they come in a few varieties. Since I typically prefer the Blue switch variety, GL Clicky is the version I chose for this keyboard. It has a gentle tactile feedback when you press down on it and the best ‘clicky’ sound as you type. The keyboard does not come with a key puller and from what I’ve read, isn’t really designed for easy key replacement. One article I found stated that the legs beneath the keys are easy to snap off and it may be unlikely to find replacement keys if they get broken. For that reason, I did not include a photo beneath the key caps as I didn’t want to chance ruining the keyboard for future use. The lighting effects are stunning on this keyboard. It shows off vibrant colors and the brightness can’t be beat. I love that you have the option to customize these effects (even on a Mac) to your specific preference. One of the reasons that I love being able to customize the lighting effects is because the RGB settings can greatly effect the battery life of the keyboard. That said, I typically keep my keyboard at 100% brightness (what can I say? I like colored lights) and I’ve still been very happy with my battery life. ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT One of the features of this keyboard that really surprised me was the fact that it charges with Micro USB and not USB-C. Since most modern devices are moving toward USB-C as the ‘standard’ for charging and connectivity, it’s really shocking that such a state-of-the-art keyboard like the G915 TKL would take such a monumental step into the past for it’s main method of external charging and connection. Now, if you look at other Logitech gaming peripherals it’s clear that they haven’t embraced it as a charging standard yet, but I am still going to wonder why because other Logitech products have embraced USB-C. Another feature that would really make Mac users happy is if this were a ‘true’ Apple keyboard. Even though the keyboard works with macOS computers, it doesn’t have Mac keys included. While this is a very minor criticism, I feel like it’s something that would really make this keyboard spectacular for all users. JUST PLAYING AROUND When it comes to gaming, this keyboard is the best option around for one big reason — timing. Thanks to the ultra slim profile of the keyboard, a gamer’s travel distance is much shorter than traditional mechanical keyboard. It’s also great to have lag-free wireless connectivity thanks to the LIGHTSPEED wireless technology. With that wireless boost, users can actually move a decent distance away from the computer and still have a lag-free experience. Another factor that makes this keyboard ideal for gamers is the absence of the num pad and G Programmable buttons. The full size G915 measures in at 475mm wide and the TKL version is only 368mm wide. That big of a difference does make it easier for gamers to coordinate between the keyboard and mouse in an action scenario. EVERYDAY FUNCTIONALITY In addition to gaming, the G915 TKL is also an amazing daily-driver. It’s comfortable to type on and because of its compact size it is perfect in an active workspace. I know that throughout the day I will sometimes spread out paperwork and other items across my desk. With that in mind, it’s wonderful to be able to have a smaller footprint on my desk so that I can still work actively and not have to rearrange my desk in order to do it. As far as typing speed goes, I was able to average around 60WPM on the G915 TKL. This is slightly slower than I normally type at, which is an average of 65WPM. I think this has more to do with getting used to the keyboard. The keys are comfortable to type even after long periods of time and long-form documents. PRICE There is no doubt that this a premium mechanical keyboard and you will pay a premium price for it. At $230 (at the time of publishing), the G915 TKL is currently Logitech’s second highest priced keyboard - second only to its predecessor, the G915. There are certainly more expensive mechanical gaming keyboards out there, but most of them that are of the same caliber as the G915 TKL are between $150-$200. As an afterthought, I don’t think the price would bother me so much if USB-C were used over Micro USB. FINAL THOUGHTS I’ve been very happy with the G915 TKL. It’s got remarkable battery life and despite the fact that it uses Micro USB to charge, it’s a very solid keyboard for any type of use. Aside from the price, it’s probably the best wireless low-profile keyboard around and gamers should be incredibly excited about it since Logitech is answering a call that has been out there for quite some time. I can recommend this amazing keyboard to any type of user. It is worth the investment.

Wireless Clicky Keyboard of My Dreams
I won't even hold back, I love this keyboard. It's clicky. It's wireless. It's extremely responsive. And it's full-sized, yet compact. It does everything you'd expect from a high end gaming keyboard in this class, especially from a company as reputable in peripherals as Logitech. If there's any downside, it's a bit hefty at 2 lbs, but there might be a good reason for that. Let's get into the details. TL;DR - If you want a clicky wireless keyboard, you will be very happy. PERFORMANCE The G915 TKL is so responsive you'll forget it's wireless. Using the USB Lightspeed receiver, I've had no delay or connection issues. It wakes up my PC just as a wired one should and the battery life is ridiculous if you dim or turn the illumination off (46 days!!!). But this is a gaming keyboard, so of course the lights are staying on and they're even easy to customize with the Logitech G Hub app. For light customization (Lightsync) there's presets and animations that you can edit/save, or go full freestyle with your own programming. And doing so is as easy as picking your color and which button you want to change. I wish other companies made customization this easy, because something as simple as lights really should be. G HUB also makes it easy to customize macros, commands, and there's a "Game Mode" that's pretty nifty as well. Here you can select what keys are deactivated in Game Mode, which is useful if you're a bit clumsy with your hands like me. Speaking of which, the Logitech engineers had the forethought to add buttons at the top of the keyboard to easily change between Lightspeed or bluetooth connection, turn game mode on/off, and control keyboard illumination. Across from them on the right are the media control buttons and a metal volume dial which all manage to stay pretty low profile. What's cool about the Lightspeed and bluetooth button is that you can hook them up to different computers and switch which one it's connected to with a single button push. This is the clicky version of the G915 TKL, which should be immensely satisfying to old school heads like myself. It uses Kailh switches that are industry proven and should also make the keycaps customizable if you want to get creative. DESIGN It's a full size TKL keyboard with a brushed dark metal body, outstanding finish, and surprising heft at 2 lbs. I don't know if it's the metal body or a large battery that contributes to this, but it could also be by design. The combo of the rubber feet and weight have kept it planted better than any other keyboard I've had. This is important in competition where response rate and reflexes can be the difference between winning and losing. Aesthetically, Logitech kept the lines clean and compact in the design of the G915 TKL, which manages a full size feel while saving valuable table space. And yes, since it's wireless, it does well on the lap too. OVERALL The Logitech G915 TKL is an outstanding wireless gaming keyboard. It's responsive, well built, easy to customize, and oh so clicky. If you're in the market for a high end wireless keyboard, you won't be disappointed by the G915 TKL line. They also have a tactile and linear version if clicky isn't your thing. Highly recommended.

Best Wireless Low Profile TKL
I've been on the hunt for Wireless Low Profile TKL for a long time (years). I currently own the Apple Magic Keyboard, the Keychron K1, and this G915 TKL. I've also gone to many stores and tried various keyboards offered by many of the brands. Keyboards are a personal fit, so please take this review with that in mind. In short, this is the best Wireless Low Profile TKL I've used as of this writing in 2020. And I am using it as my primary keyboard between a Windows and Mac machines and Linux VMs. I use it for coding, lots of writing, and gaming, this keyboard does well in all categories for me. For many years I've been a big fan of the low profile chiclet style mac keyboards. Most likely due to having to use it for work and becoming used to its style and feel. So for my at home setup, I've been looking for something that I can use between multiple computers running various OS such as windows, linux, and mac. For the longest time, I could not find a keyboard that could rival my typing speed and accuracy as what I was able to achieve on the magic keyboard. Even Keyboards with various switches including all of the cherry variants. But finally with the G915 within the first 15 minutes of using it I was able to rival the typing speed and accuracy of the magic keyboard. The other reasons why I find the G915 my favorite keyboard currently are: - It is low profile and wireless, this combination has been so hard to find on the market for a very long time. There are more competitors/options now, but it was slim pickings for a while there. - The battery life is actually really good, not as good as the magic keyboard, but I can go a week on a charge no problems. - It has bluetooth and lightspeed, so you can have one computer using bluetooth and one computer using the adapter. I just switch the adapter because I found issues using bluetooth, especially with the logitech software (it doesnt detect the keyboard on bluetooth). - It has RGB..... Overall if you are specifically looking for a Wireless Low Profile TKL, this is a great choice imo and one you should consider testing.
