Logitech G915 TKL Review - SLIM, SLENDER, & SUPERB!

[@TheTechne]

UPDATE: software is now working with current GHub update.>>> One thing I forgot to mention that is so cool with this board, is when it goes into sleep mode, you first key press is registered, unlike others that you have to wake up then start typing. Small but cool feature.

[@KurlyZay_21]

The Techne what do you do with all the others keyboards mouses and headsets. I’m curious

[@cranbers]

Makes everyone want to buy this keyboard. I bought it, I do find myself having to learn how to type again after having a super slim logitech solar keyboard.

[@Albert-of4pg]

I just got this keyboard over a week ago. Truely an amazing keyboard so far. It is great looking and incredibly thin. I got the clicky version, it is not loud at all. The click sound provides a great feedback and is pretty satisfying. And it doesn't have issue like a lot of other RGB keyboard -- light leaking out from the gap of the keys. I also find the volume wheel very useful. So far, a great purchase.

[@TheTechne]

yeah I still love mine

[@loki76]

I have the clicky too. I love it. I prefer some feed back in feel and noise and the clicks aren't really loud. I think partly because low travel and low profile. It's Kaihl switches.

That's One Expensive Keyboard

[@ArcturusCOG]

Custom keyboards: Am I a joke to you?

[@pasi123567]

Best review right here. You are definitely the only one talking about the key wobble. I noticed that on the original G915 when I tried it in the store and made me not buy it, and you explained it perfectly. It would probably not influence you in use because that wobble only happenes when you press the key lightly. But I also saw other reviews from you and you are literally the only person that notices the same stuff about products that I do where no one ever complains about and I like that.

[@TheTechne]

:) yeah some try to hide from flaws because they don't want to upset the company and stop receiving free stuff, it's a dang shame!

[@Usicky12]

I just tried mine out and ur right 100% however it doesn’t really effect the performance or typing for me

[@TheTechne]

@@Usicky12 the key wobble? yeah it doesn't effect me either.

[@Usicky12]

The Techne yes. I like it but not worth 230$. I tried the razer huntsman TE but could not do the linear switches

[@sauronkilmar6919]

Nice review 👍. I just bought this keyboard. I had a few top keyboards before and I didn't think I would say it, but this one ends the search for the perfect one.I've always had taller keyboards but the low profile is perfect. 5 star review like always.

[@TheTechne]

thank you so much

[@jozefhajnala]

I bought this (the full version, not TKL) a month ago for sw development work and I love it. Tried a few higher-end mechanical boards before, but my wrists would always hurt with the high profile when typing for a long time. This keyboard is fantastic for me for typing, possibly thanks for the low-profile keys and the 2 levels of height adjustment. The battery life is good, so I just use it for the work week and leave it to charge Friday night. The only thing I do not like (on the full version) is that the G keys cannot be changed without software, which sucks because of silly defaults. Unlike the Razer keyboards, the backlight can be fully stored on the board (had no issues with the software btw), so you can use it with multiple devices without the Logitech software (which I hate btw). I don't mind the non-usb-c as I have the old cable always at hand for some other older devices.

[@Cons2911]

jz without the software (assuming one cant use it, like if it doesn’t work). You can still change some (even just basic lighting for example) settings from the keyboard itself? I’m also a developer and this would work nicely as it is low profile. Not sure if it will stand up for games though, i might break it

[@khani6364]

Keep up the good work! (great review)!

[@TheTechne]

thank you so much

[@willeywunka]

I appreciate your videos my man .

[@TheTechne]

I appreciate you watching them :)

[@laggmonstret]

This keyboard saved me from having to find a mechanical keyboard with a built-in or a detachable wrist rest to type and game comfortable. This low profile mechanical keyboard just fits in perfect in the middle ground. So unless You love to do some some swapping of keycaps or switches this is a really great keyboard. And I love to have thet volume wheel which is even harder to find on TKL keyboards.

[@tkzii6207]

I did swap keycaps and switches and stuff ... But this keyboard in white version with browns (tactile) is just too good. It just feels right even with its flaws. And it's wireless 🥰

[@pinoywatcher03]

Thanks for this. I bought one because of this review. The only "problem" that I have with this keyboard -- are the keycaps. Are there available PBT keycaps to replace/customize the one that came with the keyboard?

[@shagath]

I always open up your new videos because I enjoy watching how excited you are over everything :D My keyboard recommendation is Asus Strix Scope TKL with silent red switches. So good it's sick!

[@loki76]

I have the full size one, I bought it before TKL came out. I love it, so smooth and it feels really solid. The wobbly keys or them being flimsy. That is not at all how it feels when you use it. There is no rattling of the spacebar, it sounds like the other keys basically which I really like. Don't like that big loud noise the space bar often makes. The low profile is so comfortable because the wrist isn't forcing upwards and get crampy. It just rests on the keys. Mine did get bricked via firmware update that failed because of Logitech's own back end. Not on my end, the message came up saying problem with back end servers. I been on with Logitech support and they despite my warranty was done I have had it 2 and a half years (2 year warranty) they agreed to send me a replacement as a one time courtesy. I like that. Gives you some faith that they stand behind it. It was on their side the failure happened. I don't think I will do any firmware updates on the new one, lol. I want it to last a long time.

[@reszolutions]

Hi. I have a question. Do u mind doing a review on the Final mouse air 58. I haven't found a good review and when I saw you haven't done one I wanted to ask. Reason being is because I have had trouble figuring out which mouse to buy. GPro Wireless or tha air 58. Btw I play R6 and Fortnite, so of u don't mind giving me some advice. I love the content and keep doing what u do because I know I'm not the only one that comes to u for reviews. ❤

[@TheTechne]

[@danielmercier5993]

[@Eliminator6363]

You sold me a Razer Huntsman from your recent "gaming" keyboards comparison video. LOVING IT! Never knew I needed a speed switch, and as loud as it is, I really like the type of sound it makes (somehow it doesn't key in my mic to my friends in discord thankfully). With lightspeed being implemented into Logitech's keyboards, they need a charging deskmat now. That'd be nice to have a wireless keyboard you never have to worry about charging.

[@Usicky12]

This is a genius idea!! Wireless charging desk mousepad. Literally one chord is all you’d need. I bought the huntsman and hated it and went and bought the tkl tactile. Linear switches are not for me I kept pressing buttons on accident because u barely have to tape it

I got the g915 tkl with the white clicky switches and something about that wobbliness of the keycaps and the clickiness just doesn't mix well I regretted not getting the brown switches it sounds good as well.

[@scorpiogamer7027]

I like the fact they finally went with the double shot pbt and that their secondary legends have rgb if I saw correctly. I’m still rocking the white g915 tkl but may finally upgrade to this.

Awesome review!! two questions, have you tried the linear switches on the g915? I currently have an Apex Pro (full size) and I love it, do you think the g915 would be considered an upgrade or would you say overall the Apex Pro is a better keyboard?

[@TheTechne]

I have not tried the linear yet, I really want to. as for an upgrade, ehhh I would say 2 very different boards and I hands down love them both.

[@thisisjonthedon]

@@TheTechne Thanks for replying!! I appreciate that. I see... if you ever get the chance to let us know please. I will be picking up a tactile g915 tkl today(only switch available), but I'm skeptical because these OmniPoint switches are BUTTERR!!

Hoping for a reply! Btw great video man. I am still stuck as to what mechanical keyboard to get i only game man and mostly on world of warcraft but still fps to. Im not a big fan of really loud keyboards and ive never had a mechanical keyboard so have no idea about keycaps. I want a smooth feeling gaming etc with good response time.

do you need wireless? and a few I would recommend is the Apex 7, K320, Miya Pro

Nice review as usual. The keyboard is really nice. It has all the basic features in the right places that appeal to me. However, I simply don't see where the justification for $230 is. It does nothing that many other less expensive high-quality boards do. I could see this in the 150 to 175 range, even if the caps were PBT and rock solid stable.
