[@gumball20000]

If you remove a keycap you can see why the lighting is the way it is. The new Logitech switches (as opposed to the old Romer-Gs) have centered stems for attaching the keycaps, and therefore the LED is displaced to the top of the switch, which is why it only shines through to the primary legend symbols. There are advantages to this, as switch design is more uniform across their product line, and it allows for keycaps to be replaced more easily. On Romer-G switches all the symbols are lit up because the LED is centered under the keycap.

[@BrickBazooka]

Unfortunately romer-g is dead

[@josephjoestar515]

@@BrickBazooka Not unfortunately. Those stems for the keycaps are so damn easy to break. Logitech is actually straight up replacing my keyboard with the G815, which is why I am here.

[@BrickBazooka]

@Joseph Joestar but if I have a led keyboard I want all symbols to be illuminated. with romerg that was possible

[@josephjoestar515]

@@BrickBazooka you win, you lose some. You will eventually memorize where all the keys are if you type enough. I will much rather have a durable switch/keycap design than having better backlight. The number of times my keys would just come off during game or get lodged between the switches is incredibly high. I would straight up not be able to move backwards, check the scoreboard, or crouch.

[@Echo_0776]

take a look at an original corsair strafe, this keyboard and probably others also have their led situated above the switch and have both characters as passthrough lighting, they are slightly dimmer however id much prefer this to no backlighting at all

[@docification94]

Was that an almost nine minute keyboard review without typing on the keyboard?

[@SocialHardware]

Correct hahaha

[@janne_kekalainen]

To be fair, if you're doing something which requires the use of shift-modified characters (text editing), the environment should be lit well enough to see them anyway. Gaming doesn't care about those secondary characters and office work should be done in a well-lit room. These are just my opinions.

[@94Pattycake]

This man has the fact on speed dial

[@Kn1cknackz0]

Also most people memorize their keyboard layout after continuous use to the point they don't need to look anymore. It's really a sort of a non-issue overall

[@Aashishkebab]

My main problem with this keyboard is that the actuation point isn't tied to the actual "click" you hear and feel. Sometimes it can be before, sometimes it can be after, and it all depends on the angle you press the key.

[@roudango]

Hey I saw your post on Reddit and somehow instantly knew you were the same person who posted that video showing this flaw. :P

[@GILLETE32]

The G810 is one of the few mechanical keyboard that is virtually color bleed free due to it's Rommer G switch design.The LED is completely encapsulated inside the key. Not exposed at all, but there is not clicking version of it, yet. And the media volume key still not tactile in all Logitech keyboard which give you a cheap sensation.

[@giuseppeclips2456]

Honestly with the lights on the shift options being the biggest problem and the price going down as substantially as it has in the past couple years It’s still rating as the top low profile keyboard in 2022 I’ll definitely be buying one

[@sergeyb6071]

Sean: I cannot find the ampersand !!! At Logitech R&D meeting : This dude definitely cannot use his keyboard blindfolded.

[@Flatsausage]

At this price point I would not be able to make a compromise with anything. That lighting issue is a deal braker for me as well! What were they thinking? I've been on the hunt for a low profile mechanical keyboard for almost six months and I still haven't found one that suits my needs. Eventhough there are so many manufacturers and models out there, there is just no versatility. I game a bit and I also type quite often. I would love to get my hands on a full size low profile keyboard that has good build quality, rgb backlights (all symbols should be visible ofc), braided cable, standard indicator lighst for num caps and scroll locks (lots of logitech models are missing those), no macros (especially on the left side making a keyboard longer than it needs to be), no usb passtrhroughs (I just don't find them useful), and most importantly I want a layout that has the big enter key and the long left shift key - a hybrid between ANSI and UK layout. I would gladly pay >300$ for a keyboard like that!!! And I am positive I am not the only one! Sadly I can't find such!

[@Flatsausage]

I got this keyboard for 189 AUD off pccasegear, and I love it. The secondary lighting issue isnt a problem for me as I've memorised where they are. Plus I use them mostly when my lights are on. I used a cougar vantar MX beforehand and this keyboard suits me way better. I almost like the fact that there is no light for secondary keys as it makes the keyboard almost look "cleaner" It just goes to show that all of this stuff goes to personal preference

[@hobbeeswe7472]

One additional problem. The symbols that are "see through" actually do NOT hold a transparent clear plastic, it is instead some sort of light blue tone. Big issue? YES, I want my standard setting to hold clear white and you would expect to achieve this using RGB code 255, 255, 255, BUT as mentioned, this will turn the symbols on the buttons light blue. this means that the Logitech G HUB software, where you can pick a colour and assign it to one or several keys, is way off the result you will get on they keys IRL. The closest I have come to a clear white is RGB 249, 198, 203 which according to any colour scale should result a light red. Instead, it seems to compensate for some of the blue tone in the keys and result in in a half decent white colour (with a blueish tint). catastrophic design ! If you like white keys or generally want to set a true RGB code, you have lost before you have begun. If setting accurate colours is important for you, this keyboard scores 1 of 5... In all, I rate this keyboard 3 of 5, a rotten score in relation to the price. Find another keyboard...

[@Aaphree]

I noticed this same problem on my G910 Orion. A disappointment for sure, especially since the G815 is $200 (vs the sub $100 I paid on the G910). Not having the secondary key functions backlit is also a bit disappointing, even if it isn't really necessary to have them lit up. I just missed out on a sale, GameStop had it for $130 but of course they're all out now, and I definitely don't want to pay $200 for it (or even the $180 price on Amazon right now)

[@stratvar]

I think that the blueish "white" light is generally a problem with many (if not all) Logitech peripherals, not just with this keyboard. I have a Logitech G502 Hero mouse and it also has a "white" light with a blue tone. Before that i had a G403 mouse with the same issue.

[@RaumBances]

I think the missing characters are because of their motto of "everything you need, nothing you don't" for gaming. I don't agree with it either. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@DTPettis]

@@SocialHardware I liked the old design of having the secondary characters on the side of the key and illuminated. is there not enough space for this? do these new low profile caps actually reach the board below?

I just bought and was devastated when I found out about the no illumination on shift keys. Now I'm debating returning it and getting a Razer instead.

[@steves6762]

I just got this keyboard yesterday and I really like it. I'd probably like it more if it weren't for the "G buttons" on the side that feel a bit awkward but I guess I'll get used to them eventually. I usually orient myself by using F and J so typing isn't that big of an issue but it feels awkward to not have the escape button on the absolute top left. I love that it's made of metal and the weight makes it stand super firmly on the table. Also, as someone who's only had laptops for the last 12 years, the low profile feels familiar and nice. Pressing the keys feels really "satisfying" (couldn't find a better word for it). Just the right resistance to feel light but still a bit firm. Is it worth the price though? I'm not sure. I only got it because I purchased another Logitech keyboard a few weeks ago that was defective and I got the price of that one off from this one so it didn't feel as expensive as it would have.

[@DVTHEFOX]

Would ya say it's worth it still over a high keycap profile?

[@steves6762]

[@jamindavey]

The backlighting secondary key function isn't a huge issue for me and I'm really happy with the purchase. I do like the mention of it as the negatives people say about a product generally say more about it than the positive reviews. So far I'm loving it. It'll take a moment to get accustomed to the lighter keypress but I think it's going to ultimately result in a more enjoyable typing experience.

[@Matrix803]

I'm a front-end developer and I bought this keyboard primarily for use at the office actually. The secondary symbols not being backlit shouldn't bother me at all. I was just looking for something comfortable, quiet and just nicer than the generic Dell keyboard I have here.

[@The_Totes_Adorbs]

I just got this board for $200 on bestbuy, and I wont lie it was offputting not seeing the secondary inputs of the keys, but it doesn't matter too much. I've been typing for so long, I already know what buttons do what secondary input, like & without having too look at it. 7 = & 6 = ^ 3 = # these are things we just learn after decades of board use.

[@The_Totes_Adorbs]

@@SocialHardware very true, you're not wrong on that. But I was pleasantly surprised how much a tiny thing felt so durable. I'm used to massive bricks of a keyboard, so I was scared at first when I got this one, (was the only one Bestbuy had stocked in-store) but it's growing on me

[@nicoleramirez1596]

Oh! As an accountant, I love that it has that scrolly thing and shortcut buttons on the side for copy/paste 😌

[@tooter5250]

I was watching your video and while doing so, I discovered that the secondary symbols are not backlit. And then you made that your primary criticism, which I think is valid. I did not pay nearly as much as you quoted for the keyboard, and aside from that oversight, I really like this keyboard (here we go, it's dark, and the opening parens is not visilbe; its secondary to the number 9). BTW, I have the clicky version, which is not that loud actdually. The software is really good, lots of features (and not necessarily for gaming). All things considered, I think I can live with those secondary symbols not being backlighted, as I know the keys well enough to know what goes where. But this thing is just a joy to use, great typing feel.

[@kingdedede9135]

[@WrongParadox]

a solution to the secondary keys not lighting up is not to have the two characters vertical but side-by-side ... but I haven't found any cap replacements for this keyboard that allow this also it doesn't have a scroll lock indicator ... the other two CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK are fixed to white and their brightness can't be adjusted the MR button could also be spaced away from the M1 M2 and M3 mode buttons the M1 M2 M3 MR GameLock buttons also are unable to be RGB adjusted

[@benjamincarnet3565]

[@heyhelmar]

Personally, it doesn't bother me that the secondary keys aren't lighted. As a product designer I can tell you their decision making on lighting only the primary key was probably to not overload it visually and maintain findability and even consistency for those main keys. However, it is worth investigating if there is a considerable amount of people who'd want them lighted. I can imagine a compromise of making the secondary keys a bit darker with less translucency. Question is if production allows such a change and if it's worth to make it.

It's a solid keyboard from bottom to top but to go back to another keyboard just because of backlighting on secondary keys seems a little salty in my honest opinion. that would be like going back to my 2002 saturn because my 2021 F150 doesn't have a cassette player in it.

I guess keyboard preferences are subjective. I love how quiet the keys are. I can type for days on this keyboard without getting tired. Unfortunately for me my hands are too big for the keyboard and I end up fat-fingering the one and apostrophe keys more often then I care to admit. Same with my shift and caps key. I'll try this keyboard for another week to see if I'll get used to it but I may change this out for the G910. Man I do like the quiet keys though.

[@MiniVogg]

I realized before you had said it that it was the secondary characters that aren't lit. It was easy to notice as I was using my PC in the dark. I concluded that it is a GAMING keyboard so when you look down in the dark, you see the character you need to see. I am really liking this keyboard. I bought it retail for $169.99 + tax in Dec 2022 and for the money, if I want something made a little better designed with a bit more high quality materials, I have to spend $100 more. Very happy for under $200 incl tax.

It’s always good when a product that I like everything about the worst thing is something I don’t care about. I don’t look at the keyboard when typing even for symbols so it’s fine with me and my current keyboard has a similar issue anyway

[@imagesbyjonevan3890]

My only issue with it is that you cant reprogram any F keys to a custom macro or bind it..Or am i missing something?

[@samshirley1962]

i have been using a razer huntsman for most of this year everytime i walked into best buy i kept messing with their display g815 and i finally bit the bullet and bought it even though this keyboard and the huntsman arent really comparible but that just me

[@undi9224]

that lack of backlit on secondary keys is a dealbreaker for me. Thanks for mentioning it. This keyboard is off my list.

Glad I could help!

no idea what are you talking about i have all lights on bruuh and you see the faken secondary keys perfeclty

[@Noudilus]

that's just lame, i mean who TF is going to type an assignment without lights on? and BTW normal people can typen everything blindfolded....... ur just making a problem to make a problem.

I got 815 linear, the serial number starts from 1920MR - the keyboard is not detected by LGHub, it goes dark immediately.

6:20 Huge freaking nitpick, but respectable, its indeed much harder to find it, specially if ure in the dark. but if ure wasting 300$ on a premium keyboard, chances are you are already familiar where every single key is.

[@cappedpluto7638]

one thing that is nice is that we have feet for raising the keyboard meanwhile in our universe pretty much every fucking keyboard has those

[@sy-ky_buddy4603]

Please someone tell me if you've found a comfortable wrist rest for this....

[@mr.wolfman4956]

I'm probably going to get this after the whole covid 19 thing ends. It has bigger or spaced out keys, and it's easy to use. Now on keyboards the keys are small or more closer together, I hope this is the right choice

[@SocialHardware]

Nice, yeah I mean the typing experience was nice, I just couldn't justify the price..

[@igordragicevic0606]
