Buying Advice for the Logitech G915 TKL (red linear)

[@gianstevens7918]

With all due respects, I have a different opinion. You start the review off saying you don't care about light-speed which is one of the biggest reasons why people do get this keyboard. As it is a very low latency wireless keyboard. In case you want to game, wirelessly, but not suffer form input lag. If you don't care about light-speed, just get a cheaper wired or bluetooth only version of this. They do exist and are less expensive. Second, you're saying you're missing out on tactile feeling but you chose red's and not browns, which are linear switches, not tactile. So basically you chose a non-tactile keyboard and you're missing out on the tactile feeling. That is not a surprise to me. Tactile is a big advantage in games like CS and other first person shooters, which is probably why you weren't feeling like you were getting the best experience. All of the pro's are things you don't care about, most of the cons are explainable because you chose the wrong switch. Apart from the wobbly keys which I do agree with. I have this keyboard (tactile) and I love this keyboard for CS. It seems to me your research was insufficient and this isn't the right keyboard for you anyway.

[@luminoso5787]

Agree with you 100% he just chose the wrong one. I have the g815 and I love. I’m actually getting another g815 right now lol.

[@waynetuttle6872]

I kinda find it funny that he even did a review, sorta weird. I was thinking the same thing, exactly, everything he said I was like, then why did you get that version? He even complained about the ten keyless, like, what man? You had to have actively seek out this very expensive keyboard with functions that you clearly would not like so that you could actively bash it. Anyways, wobbly keyboard is no big deal, I owned IBM original kb in 1982

[@gellal1]

This is exactly what I did. I dont care about wireless and rbg so I tried the g413 brownswitch and its the best purchased Ive done

Does the tactile one have "wobbly" keys? If you put your finger on the key and don't press does the key move all around? That little bit of play is really messing with my typing, just got it yesterday so I don't know if its going to take some getting used to or I should just try again with something I'm happier with.

*Thanks, you made the whole keyboard landscape much more clear for me.* *I can tell, i would hate the red switches.* As far as for the 'gaming' aspect, it looks like it is for the type of person who wants to hover above the keyboard and rely on memorized muscle memory to hit the right location - vs slightly resting on and feeling the keys. It's a bit like brags about being touch screen. You can't rest your hand on it. You have to have all the locations memorized _in free space,_ because it's lacking tactile feedback and locational control. I see this in the industrial side: touch screens look pretty, but every operator who such a machine _always_ wishes for actual buttons for the every day functions. We even have touch control hands safe switches. (they don't let the machine move until both hands are on the safety switches, so you can't crush yourself). They are a neat idea: they don't take any force vs pressing a button, and they have no moving parts... And they are way more finicky. In order to prevent false positives, they are linked together and need to be pressed quickly at near the same time - or they don't work. You can't rest on hand ready, then move another hand there. You aren't gripped on to anything to carry the weight of your arms. You have to keep both hands back, and quickly put them both in and clap and hold your arms up for them to work. We have other machines with simple mechanical buttons. Objectively, they are just nicer all around, even if you will eventually have to replace a switch. They work when grime, coolant, chips, etc cover them. (there is one place I prefer non-mechanical switches: on sealed/mostly sealed machines, inductive switches make nicer home switches that are more accurate and don't generally wear out.)

[@craftingmat5425]

I am Software Engineer, too. I am less a gamer, but also sometimes I do some gaming. I do not really follow your explanation. I do not like wristpads, the 915 is really the lowest I used. Also the wireless feature is amazing. It never missed a beat. Even if it did power down to save wireless life, it is available with the first keystroke. Really good. I have the 915 TKL in white and I cannot confirm that it looks dirty when used, maybe this effect is stronger on the black versions. Also I am ok with the "wobblyness". Not sure if it is really much more wobbly compared to other boards. Even if I used this board with RGB (very low) and every day constantly, it was strong on battery life - I often do not charge for more than a week. Definitely, my previous keyboards were not that durable. My big cons against this board: After more than 2 years with this board I have to say that the switches break (producing double or tripple key-strokes). I opened the board and replaced the faulty ones, now (4 months later), other keys are starting to fail -> very annoying! Also I did not like the MicroUSB jack... I mean... MICRO USB. For a keyboard in that price range it is completely not understandable to provide MicroUSB. It should have been USB-C right from the start. I am now checking on the Cherry MK8.2. It should have better switches and hopefully I can cope with the Keyboard height. Once the Cherry is here, maybe also I will change all the switches on my 915... I really liked it a lot (while it was working, only the Micro USB was a real con, but as you charge that thing so rarely, you barely dont notice it).

[@kevinthecreator9]

Thanks man for the review honestly I was looking into buying this keyboard for a while case I am tired of my 60 percent keyboard and figured this would be my endgame keyboard. Jayztwocents really hyped this keyboard and I thought the wireless connectivity would be amazing and would look great on my desk but I will just stick to my custom ones for now I want to get back into making videos but I lose the motivation hopefully something will spark my creative genius in me one day.

[@cleanpoop9929]

Bruh, the idea of not have arrow keys is crazy to me too! I'm also a dev, and tried a 10-key keyboard and I hated it! I've been running a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard, and it's been great! Though I hate the fact that I can't easily press another key on the left side with my right hand if I'm drinking some water. Just bought a G915 and it's feels alright, but I def need support for my wrist. Also, you should look into lower the height of your desk it helps a ton when programming Also, if you have a standing desk: there is an reset option that will allow you to lower it to perfectly suit the height of a Herman Miller Aeron. I think you unplug from power source for 15 seconds, plug it back it, and then press the down error. Once the table lowers really low, unplug it and it will stay in that position.

Worst things: 1. Key caps along edge or board have habit of popping off - lift with two hands. 2. With backlighting odd, keys are impossible to read, it should be a frosted white transparent lettering so it works well without backlight. 3. Secondary function of keys ( Eg: 7 / %) are not backlit

[@bestscenes4759]

There are many kinds of switches, we got MX cherries (which das uses), Gateron G pro, and nameless logitech ones which you bought. All three are different even though they say brown they aren't brown, a Red MX Cherry won't be the same as a Gateron or a logitech one.

[@Jordan-dt6qx]

I've had the full size with cllicky keys, for 2 years. I've now also picked up the tactile TKL version. This is hands down my favorite keyboard I've ever owned. All my life I gamed on cheap membrane keyboards. I bought a mech keyboard, and hated the key height, and depth of actuation. I had a very hard time gaming on regular cherry switches. That's what caused me to seek this keyboard. I imagine your issues with gaming on this keyboard, is the mirror to my gaming issues with cherry switches. Habit and comfort. Not sure if it was released between this video post and now, but Logitech does now have a wired, cheaper verision of this keyboard, called the G815.

[@s97s9]

There isn't a TKL version of that G815 so were are still stuck with the expensive G915.

[@ItsMelodyy]

I got my clicky full size version just now and so far I am impressed. I was expecting the clicky bit to be far louder than it was in reality and the typing experiences was really comfortable. More comfortable than my previous G512 SE, which had the same "wobbly keys" that this one does. I suspect that's just a Logitech-thing. Having only used Logitech keyboards personally in the past, I'm very content with this. I suspect your bad experience may have been, as you mentioned yourself, be attributed to you getting the linear switches, instead of the tactile ones.

I think you should go all out on them. Not TOTALLY extra but get a good one. Me I bought all my stuff on Black Friday and deals and sales saved 400$ on my amazing monitor / 800$ on laptop to go/ 100$ off my mouse 150$ off keyboard all that saved me probably 1k I could put towards an amazing graphics card. Or extras. Just waiting for sales and saving that few extra bucks gets you what you want along wayyy. I have too many friends who buy with no sale / no discount / everything new or what everyone else has. Me I have amazing gear and specs for about the same price. I have this keyboard costs 50$ less than a customizable smaller non wireless / rbg keyboard a friend of mine has. I love low profile tho they wanted that tiny mechanical one to change the keys. Just cuz it’s wireless doesn’t mean it costs more. Just buying at a wrong time with what you want.

The tactile is honestly the best for all purpose use. The linear is only good if you're only gaming and need quick actuation.

If they doubled the price and I had to buy it again, it'd do it in a heartbeat. And that's saying a lot considering that I hate Logitech since they rolled out the new GHub software and started making mice that break every few months. I have this exact keyboard for 1.5 years, seen pretty heavy use both professionally and gaming (10+ hrs daily). Initially I was fairly disappointed because of the rattle and how frail the keys seem. All that vanished quite quickly for me, this is by far the best keyboard I have typed on. The only major cons that I see are the Logitech software (buggy, clunky, bad UX) and not being able to change the assignments on all keys, which is something I'd like to have the option to do (but would probably never use). As for the other cons I've seen mentioned: - I absolutely love the "rattling" of the keys, it makes the keys anchor to my fingertips instead of being rigid - seems to directly improve my speed for some reason. - No problem whatsoever with confidently hitting shift/ctrl/etc in games, but I have a lot of practice with laptop keyboards so that might play a part. I can't stand high profile keyboards though and have problems with shift/ctrl there, and I have big hands as well so that's not a consideration. - Volume key feels very analog, I'm using it a lot and much prefer it over the other options I've tried. (some people list it as a con) - Due to the airy design, it stays quite clean dust-wise without needing to remove the key caps - I never did and it looks cleaner than my desk that I wiped last evening. I do clean the keycaps every few days, and indeed the black version easily gets the dirty keycaps "effect" when you have a strong source of light behind to reflect it, but it doesn't apply in my case (as you can also see in the video, where it had to be angled just right for the dirty keycaps to be visible).

I appreciate this honest review, it's rare to find one these days. I had a K70 Low Profile with CherryMX Speed LP, they were great, how I loved that keyboard (and still do). But I needed a wireless multi-device keyboard for work. I could not get back from using low profile keys because of how quiet and comfortable they are, so there were only two options: the G915 TKL and the Deathstalker V2 Pro TKL. I went one day to my local PC shop, where they had the tactile G915 on demo, and man wow I felt sick just touching that keyboard. The keys where so uncomfortable, it was unreal. The wobble was too much, it felt so weird to type on, I immediately discarded it. I've had a Logitech keyboard before, the G513, and I know how oily and bad quality the components can feel. Since then, I decided not to buy their products, not until they got new iterations of them.

TKL keyboards take some time to adjust to them. I went from a fullsize Razer to a Logitech Pro X TKL and that transition was a bit rough at first. I'd say it took me almost a week to get used to it..

I did snag a cord under one one day and it didn't pop or break the key so I'm convinced they are durable enough. Some people bitch about the USB-A but hear me out. NOBODY WILL STEAL IT ON YOU. We all have USB-C for our mobile devices now so that just increases that chance that inconsiderate, lazy, me first, iPhone users would steal it because they were too careless with their own USB-C. But alas, you don't have to worry so the USB-A was a genius move, IMO. The weight is beautiful, never moves Charge lasts about 5-7 days when working 8+ hours with RGB on (using start night) The volume wheel is AWESOME! I hate push button volume comtroles so the analog feel and control of the barrel volume adjustment is great. It does stick when it sits but as soon as you use it it frees up. And when I say it sticks, it's only a little. And again, maybe this is a good thing. If it moved freely maybe if you got that hardcore pumping or typing like an animal it might move on it's own. So, although I appreciate your review, I think that you just chose the wrong key type and maybe a little disgruntled because you spent a lot on the wrong board, no offense. I'd be a little bitter if I dropped $$$ on a product that I didn't like. But that's why I bought each board, different keys, from Amazon, figured out which I liked the best and returned the rest. Hey, it's their policy, not mine so why not. The Bluetooth instant button is sweet when I need to bounce back and forth between my PC and my Android phone. Love that feature. I like the board so much that I'm going to get the TKL model. I use my keypad for AutoCAD and math stuff but certain apps I have no need and if I can find a used one it's worth the expense. So, I highly recommend this board and if you're on a budget, find a good used one. Most likely you won't be disappointed.

[@SomberAmity]

Pretty good review. I agree with most of the cons the worst being the rattle and the price point. Though for shooters, I honestly feel this is personal opinion, I play shooters daily and when it came to the other keyboards I've used, (Corsair K65 Mini, Steel Series Apex Pro and Razer Huntsman TE). I have never felt this comfortable using a keyboard, it did take me a while to get used to it, but also I rarely ever use control for anything which probably benefits me than those who use control for crouching lets' say. Overall, you have made valid points and I don't blame people for not caring for this keyboard, it's different and has issues that many people are not going to put up with especially at the price point. Like I said before, I've been using this keyboard for a couple of weeks now, I'll be more than happy to let you know how this thing carries on after a couple of months of use. I do a lot of typing tests so that should be a good factor as well.

dang it sucks that you had such a bad experience :( honestly when the full size version of this keyboard first came out I was all over it I really agree with you about the rattle and the stability it's not the best for that at all which is disappointing for the price for sure but at least for me it had everything I wanted in a keyboard and it seemed perfect for me in every way I was lucky that my local canada computers let me open a box and try a quick typing test to see how it felt and oh was it perfect for me I love the way the keys feel and sound by far the best and most fun switches I have ever typed or gamed on I did get the clicky version because that's what I love and the click is the perfect pitch and volume for satisfaction at least to my preference (my previous favourites were outemus razer greens are my least favourites and cherry blues are pretty meh) I was so happy with it that when I decided that I wanted to get my hands on a tkl I bough another one (yes I am insane :P) so now I have two and I don't regret it at all honestly sometimes when I have to type out a longer email I will actually take out my headphones and just bask in the experience of using this keyboard sound and feel and it's still the best experience I have ever had all that being said I'm disappointed that there wasn't more negative feed back out there to prevent you from having the experience you did that really sucks especially for a product as crazy expensive as this one

I bought the G815 (tactile), and I love it. I think about the price this way: I remember buying keyboards in the 1980s for $100 - $200. If you adjust for inflation, we were paying way more for keyboards back then. I think those membrane keyboards spoiled us a bit. I don't have a problem with paying $200 in the 2020s if the keyboard is good enough, and I think the G815 and G915 are worth it. I don't game very much anymore. I bought this for typing, and it's amazing for that.

Also I must disagree with you about the keyboard feeling cheap.. I'm not about the TKL version but with the full size keyboard it feels very much like a premium keyboard and typing experience. I've never known anyone to shake a keyboard and then say that it sounds cheap.. I'm sure that if you shake 10 keyboards 7 out of 10 would make some kind of noise depending on the keys that they use. Just seems like a weird metric to judge a keyboard off of.

[@alan-cl1rj]

I have been using the clicky version of this keyboard for about a year and I agree that for $220, it is incredibly overpriced. The keycaps have a lot to be desired and feel pretty cheap, smudges and oils are a big issue. Honestly as a whole, the keyboard build quality does not feel like a $200+ keyboard. Sadly, there aren't many competitors for low-profile keyboards, so Logitech is able to get away with that ridiculous price tag. I usually don't like clicky switches since they are very loud, but for some reason I fell in love with the sound of these switches. Overall I really like the keyboard, I can get over the cheaper feel of it but it is no where near worth the $220. The worst part, it's the best wireless technology you can get for a wireless low-profile keyboard. I have tried Havit's low profile keyboards but somehow I don't like the feel of it as much as this one but it's still a great alternative if you don't want to live on one kidney.

[@kovesp1]

I've had the 915 (not TKL) Tactile for about a year. I do relly like it except ... * Has a tendency to miss the Shift. It may be me, but I never had this problem with other keyboards. * The dongle doesn't work via my KVM switch. What is worse ... I would be OK if it never worked. But it does work for a little while and then it stops. So need to plug the dongle back and forth between two machines. * The keys are of course lit with programmable colours. But ... only the primary character is lit (e.g., 1, 2, 3 ...) the shifted chatacter is not (!, @, #, ...). What's worse, the shifted character is light gray on a black key top ... competely unreadable when it is dark. As well, the shifted character is on the bottom of the key cap contrary to at least a century of tradition. * It seems to me that the point of having the programmable individual key colours is that they be useful in games. However, in my experience when playing almost any game the programming is lost and they kyes go back to rippling colours. * The G-Hub software is absolutely counter-intuitve. I am convinced that Logitech employed some top-notch user inteface designers: had they just used begining programmers, it would have been impossible to get the user interface so wrong and unusable. Another fun feature: G-Hub allows one to disable updates. And then it goes on to ignore that. Result: on my work computer on which security software blocks the installer program, G-Hub doesn't start, it goes into an infinite loop claiming that it is installing updates. Response from Logitech support (paraphrased to show meaning): we don't give a damn, too bad.

[@zthecat]

It's too bad you weren't a much of a fan. It's hard for me to say if it's really worth the price tag, but I ended up getting one, and I really love mine. I was specifically looking for a low profile keyboard, and this was the best one I could find by far. One thing I would say that helps justify the price for me is the fact that they tend to function exactly as they're built to. Meaning all the other keyboards I was looking at had problems such as the keys either being too sensitive, so they'd double click when trying to type, or they'd be not sensitive enough, and not keep up with what you're doing. This is the only one I could find that people were claiming works exactly how it's supposed to. With regard to the wiggly keys, I see what you're saying, but I never thought it felt cheap, or even considered it a flaw necessarily. While everything said was generally true, I just want people to know I'm still very happy with mine, while still acknowledging these things. Though I still can't confidently say it's worth as much as it is. I personally paid $170 for my TKL Tactical switch version, and I'm very happy, but I still feel like it should have been $100-$120. So it's really up to you. It's not like it's absolutely amazing. I don't think it's for everyone. But if you're like me, and it's exactly what you were looking for, I think you'll definitely be happy.

[@surfdabbler]

I bought the tactile version for programming, and honestly, the 'tactile' is not tactile. I haven't felt the linear to compare, but the tactile bump really isn't there. The keys just seem stiff, and the only real tactile feedback I get from the keyboard is the bump when the key bottoms out. There is a lot to like about this keyboard, but the feel of the keys is not on that list for me.

[@Ghosts_of_tabor_hub]

The tactile is not tactile your right it litterally a fire alarm

[@allenliu8820]

i recommend getting the tactile though I much prefer linear for gaming the tactiles have a very nice feeling to it for typing, but the linears are much better for gaming in my experience however, I do recommend getting the full version, but it is a very expensive keyboard, so only get that if a newer one comes out or during a sale because it is simply not worth the price there are cheaper keyboards while do not look anywhere near like the logitech g815 and g915 the price is simply far too high for what you could be getting from another company for the same price you can get keyboards with analog switches which allows you to change the activation point, but at the same time you lose in some other areas other keyboard manufacturers have better customizability over the g815 and g915 and allows you to hotswap them to your heart's content to match the sound or feel that you want overall good keyboard, but get it at a discounted price

[@erikaleksandermoe1634]

I have bought two of this keyboard, one clicky for home use and one tactile for office use, and both of them felt basically the same, except for the activation sound. But after about half a year of use I had to return them. There were so many times when the shift, ctrl and alt keys on both keyboards just wouldn't activate while I was typing so I had to correct myself many times. This got really annoying while coding and while gaming. Thankfully the store I bought them from allowed for a return after half a year of use. I also experience the rattling of the keys and another thing that really annoyed me was that if the RGB lights weren't on the key lettering was almost impossible to see. Speaking as a programmer and a gamer I wouldn't recommend this keyboard. I have gone back to my trusty Razer Blackwidow Elite with green switches for home use and a cheap Deltaco TKL with brown MX cherry switches at work. Both work much better even though they are not low profile.

[@housesg5981]

Linear feels like membrane, very mushy, you cant 'feel' nor know when you pressed it. Clicky is pretty good, hard to press and you know when you pressed it. BUT if you have a home with many family members, do NOT go for this, its pretty loud. Tactile is a god send. You feel it, no one can hear it. I own two of these for my two homes.

Linear keys are in my opinion only for gaming, linear switches for long typing start to feel weird, tactile especially on a low profile is pretty good since it just hits you right and doesn’t give you the weird feeling at least for longer

[@NotAnotherSatchFan]

Even travel distance is lower, actuation point are still the same as any standard mechanical keyboard. Really annoys me because I use G810 before I bought G915 and the G810 romer-g keys feels better to game and type as it has lighter actuation force, plus keys does rattles a lot less than the G915. I tried giving it to my daughter but she prefer her Corsair keyboard. I sold mine and now I use Apex Pro TKL. Nowadays any "gaming" keyboard priced 200+ should have rapid triggers and hall effect.

I share some of your sentiments on this keyboard. I have the K915 full size. I thought it would be better than it is. The clicky just needs way to much for to press. It took me about two weeks to get used to pressing the key much harder. I was missing the keypresses and spacebar all the time. I use a K100 at home as my daily and i have to use so little force, I love it. But the clicky on the K915 requires some force. Also like you said, after about a few days, the keyboard looked like it was used for years. Even with super clean fingers, this keyboard gets really dirty. Not a fan of the RGB lighting either. I am using starylght. Blue background with white to highlight random buttons. You can barely see the white. However, any other contrasting color works really well. With that being said, the battery life on the K915 is freakin amazing, at least for me. I keep it on all the time and use it for productivity. I think I have charged it only three times over 5 months. Yup, you read that right. Freakin amazing.

[@199122vincent]

I have this in tactile TKL, it's one of my most regreted purchase in terms of PC peripherals, and I have been through a ton of keyboards, razer, steelseries, other logitech keyboards, customs, ROG, you name it. I have always been a fan of logitech products until recently due to the asking price doesn't deliver enough for me. The asking price of $200 for a keyboard of this quality is ridiculous. The key caps are not double shot, the RGB color lacks satuation like other logitech gaming products, lack of aftermarket keycap options due to being low-profile. Software performance is lackluster, the on board profile doesn't always work, when you first turn on the PC the lighting would be a default rainbow and is not going to change until the software has booted. That doesn't happen with steelseries. The worse offender for me is the keyboard case is not even flat. Yes, it's not flat, it's slightly bowed outwards toward the user, perhaps to increase structural strength, but this design really rubs me the wrong way because how much this keyboard costs. Luckily I didn't go with the linear version, as it's just impossible to preload a switch due to the lack of tactile feed back, double taps are difficult to pull off consistently. I think it's the best to go with clicky as even the tactiles felt too heavy for gaming. As for typing, I do type faster after I got used to the low profile, but for me it's pretty meaningless as my typing speed on normal profile keyboard always outpaces my brain. And the rubber media keys on this keyboard is horrible, zero tactility and it sometimes double registers when you want to press once. Logitech should really take a look at the apple magic keyboard, it's all metal case, thinner, with touch ID, all for $200, come on Logitech!

The keyboard was around 150 - 160, and I just couldn't justify keeping it around having paid that much and not enjoying the typing experience. That was obviously my own fault for not knowing what the silent red switches would feel like. Walked into BestBuy just to see if I could feel different switch types to see which one appeals and found a G915 TKL clicky on display. My word did that board feel right. The click was much less obnoxious than the Razer and the MX Blue switches I have had before, and it just made the keyboard feel premium. Checked the price, yeah, no. Started an Amazon price watch for the full and TKL clicky versions of this board and was waiting for the price drop until I found it being sold as a "renewed" product. 150 + tax and coming tomorrow.

a keyboard isnt going to make you better at something.. its preference. things like this are not one size fits all, so to speak. there are plenty of csgo pro level players who have started using this keyboard and love it. namely the esteemed s1mple, nitro, and a fee others ive seen but cant remember exactly. personally, i got it cus i used to game on a laptop, and so a lower profile keyboard is what felt most comfortable to me. yes, the keys are slightly wobbly but not enough to be an issue or a deterrent, at least for me. other than its a great keyboard, with a lot of convenience. if they made it in the same form factor as the RK71 + still including the g keys, media buttons and adding a bit of tactility to the volume wheel and maybe seeing what can be done to make the keycaps more stable and sturdy feeling - it would be an endgame keyboard for me.

[@cranbers]

So, just decided to watch this video. Im not lying when I say this. I have had a g915 (whether that be full sized or TKL) 3 times now.

Im currently rocking a clicky one, but i just got a linear and im taking that one back and the k100 back tomorrow. I work at a pc store (microcenter) and get good discounts on them. Honestly, I dont really agree with the review. Mostly cuz the keyboard is good for gaming and everything. But, to each their own.

Weird marketing and only silver speed switches yet (red to come), also pretty uneven RGB. BUT: the case is full Alumnium, build like a tank, ultra thin (22mm!!!)... and the Cherry switches, oh my gosh... apart from being too sensitive and speedy for many, the quality of those switches is just superb. And as a bonus: the software being really crappy doesn't matter as complete setup and profile selection is possible via keystrokes. So it's basically driverless and 100% usable without the software, like my Zowie Mouse. Perfect for the office as well.

Hey, just thought I would add my 2 pence seeing as we're putting our own opinions on this keyboard, haha. Personally, I love mine and granted reviews can very much be the deciding factor when purchasing something, keyboard or not but contradictory to that, it can also be a great sign about what people's experiences are from the keyboard itself, so they do speak volumes in that sense. I personally don't feel the keyboard is cheap, especially the finish on the keyboard itself (excluding the keycaps). I do agree though if you're really unsure whether to buy one or not (even if it is a 2 year old keyboard) try going to Curry's or alike to see if they have one in stock for you to check out. The freedom factor this wireless keyboard gives, is a massive pro in itself.

Thanks for the great review man! I've been looking for a new keyboard and this was recommended by some friends of mine. After your review I just said "fuck it" and bought it, but I ended up with tactiles instead of linear, and it feels great. Great review, keep up the good work !
