Logitech G915 Lightspeed Keyboard Review - Who Would Buy This?

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?

[@Rajivrocks-Ltd.]

@@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

[@francescob.3019]

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.

[@wildsapling6218]

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.

[@DarkoPetreski]

Low profile is definitely for space reasons, not comforts lmfao

[@thenonexistinghero]

@@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.

[@are3287]

@@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.

[@thisguy2973]

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.

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

The GL in the switch name comes from Good Luck finding new keycaps

[@aRoamingDuck]

@@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.

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.

[@Claiger]

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.

[@lockjaw333]

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.

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

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.

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.

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.

[@Caution40404]

@@elenchus what's wrong with Romer-G?

[@elenchus]

@@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.

[@Caution40404]

@@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?

[@elenchus]

@@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.

[@jamesstubbs8954]

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!

[@MrCucamonga1]

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.

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.

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.

Before watching the video, i have to say , i got the wired version, and it is PERFECT. The wireless version gives people problems with interfering frequencies from other devices. 3:44 The sense of this low profile is, when you press a button, the neighbored button is not a mountain to climb, for the finger that wants to glide on it. Long story short, you can switch buttons faster. I wish they would produce key caps out of GLASS. Good to clean, no softeners , wich are in plastics, for making them more flexible, but harm your health. And it looks freaking cool.

[@visparu]

Now, I don't exactly know why I watched this video since I have been using this exact keyboard for almost two years now but... anyway :D I have a few points to add from my long term experience with the product: 1. It was very surprising to me that one of your key legs broke during the insertion, I have removed and inserted the caps probably around 30-40 times for cleaning purposes now and it is always a very easy process that I have never experienced any issues with. 2. The wear on the key caps (or rather the lack of wear) is impressive. If you do directly shine a light on a frequently used key (say shift, the space bar or wasd) from a specific angle, you can see a slight change in the reflection but it is barely noticeable under normal circumstances. The secondary character print does not seem to wear off at all. 3. Also, I do have to say that I do not have the issue with the volume wheel that you described. Yes, there is no tactility to it. However, on my setup, I do not experience any delay with my windows sound control when using it and it feels quite intuitive. Of course, all of that does not change the price tag that comes with this product but I do have to say that I would rather pay this price and have a keyboard that works without any noticeable wear for a long time than having to replace it after two years because something does not work properly any longer.

[@Prototypeli]

So does it worth 200€ ?

[@visparu]

@@Prototypeli Probably not, no. You will most likely not get this overall level of quality for much less but if you are okay with cutting a few corners when it comes to the quality of the material and longevity of the product, you will find adequate keyboards in much lower ranges for sure :)

[@leospeedleo]

"Who would buy this?" Me: Looks at G915 and G703 inside my Amazon parcel...

[@dragoonsunite]

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?

[@redX111t]

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.

[@uwaa4467]

@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.

[@kangsusuh4919]

@@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.

[@neoneu5702]

Tkl is basically useless if you are working with numbers, I always had full size and never used the bumped because I didn't need it but since after using it at an internship for 4 months basically daily I'd never use the normal number keys, it's probably 3 times faster using the numpad

[@DSDSDS1235]

And the numpad is basically useless if you're not working with numbers. But dedicated numpads are available!

[@DarkPa1adin]

Unless you can type numbers well w/o looking at the row above qwerty

[@VictorHugoVHPassos]

Totally agree. I can't use TKL because besides numpad being important in my work, I'm left handed(mouse) and I use that area to game (right hand).

[@benvargas580]

I just purchased mine yesterday, and I don't have any lag with the volume wheel at all, the response is instantaneous.

[@Reggy9]

Yeah, and if you want to be more mobile you usually use a notebook anyway.

[@purementalgames1954]

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!

[@kylechow6072]

For anyone looking to purchase this keyboard, I found it much nicer to type on than my Razer Huntsman Elite(razer purple switch) or my Blackwidow v3 (razer green switch). On my 915 I didn't' find any loose keycaps or the volume wheel lag mentioned. They have constant firmware updates and my connectivity hasn't skipped a beat. The RGB customization is done extremely well, I find the clicky switches very satisfying, but if noise bothers you this isn't the keyboard for you. Very happy and would 100% recommend.

[@St0RM33]

Damn KAILH! JUST BUILD MY KAILH LOW PROFILE KEYBOARD!

Hope Logitech come out with a wireless version without the macros and profile buttons and the volume wheel, just to keep it more compact

[@Saarnash86]

Are you going to review the new TKL version?

[@heroofharo]

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.

DaemonPix you said top shelf but you can easily get their low end stuf that’s fantastic and be under $100 like the g203 for like $25 which is fantastic and they have a bunch of mechanical keyboards for around $70 at Best Buy or amazon. Companies are allowed to have different price point but if it’s performance you want, you will get the same for under $100 and be happy.

The hardware macro keys is a bonus, and I guess this will come super handy in the coding and Excel work. I have given away few Logitch keyboards in the past for its almost not existing bumps on the F and J keys. If these bumps are not significant, I end up looking at the keyboard more often.
