Logitech G915 unboxing & G815 comparison

[@TechAdvisor]

Which would you go for - the wireless G915 or the old-school wired G815? - Dom

[@2slowpoke929]

If money wasn't an issue wireless all day. I've been trying a Razer Atheris before getting my G502 and honestly I didn't notice any latency difference when playing Apex and Overwatch for 2 days

[@TechAdvisor]

Yup. I can't speak for the rest of the TA team (or Lewis) but for me wireless performance has gotten so good that I really can't notice the difference unless I'm looking out for it, so I always go wireless if I can - Dom

[@4311Carlos]

Just need a wrist pad or gaming mat for long hours playing. Anyway, nice review.

[@haywire9174]

Wired cause, if your on a desk, it's just well 'wireless'. This keyboard is 70 more (cad) for the need of charging and lack of a usb pass through, and this is coming from a user of the arctis 7s and the gpro wireless, atleast with wireless mouse an headset there is a bigger advantage which is more freedom without a cable in the way, but with a stationary device like a keyboard, I find it just an inconvenience.

[@Kaylas1821]

@Vlada Jekic why not g pro wireless? =)

[@haywire9174]

I prefer the wired g815 because, if your on a desk, it's just well 'wireless'.

Dont forget the Num Lock indicator on G815! that's actually important to me since I go in and out of a lot of VMs and console sessions so its nice to see what the status of my num lock is on that session.

How is that a keyboard review without sound test? It matters in the mechanical keyboard world, you know?!

Clicky clicks, linear is lins, and tactile is tacky.

[@dndallasta]

In case someone comes across this before purchase: the switches sound much more tame than other brands. The tactile almost sounds like a regular, non-mechanical keyboard. I'd get the clicky for sure, given the choice.

This one checks all my boxes for a keyboard. Got rgb, wireless, media buttons, macros, full keyboard layout, and it's simple, sleek and clean lookin as hell. Gj logitech! Ima wait for a sale lol.

[@Battledragon4]

Yeah, also good RGB . So you can actually see the Keys (wich key it is) really well. Others have it switched. Lots of RGB and only the key is a sticker: can’t really tell the key sometimes in the dark.

[@xxovereyexx5019]

The names are really confusing to customer, why logitech so basically; - g813 and g815 = is the same product (wired, 3mm total travel distance, has USB PASSTHROUGH) (g813 = asia, g815 = US) - g913 and g915 = is also the same product (wireless, 2.7mm total travel distance) (g913 = asia, g915 = US)

[@Rajivrocks-Ltd.]

Think Imma buy the G815 tactile pretty soon. Looks amazing. All other gaming keyboards look way to gamer-y :(

I think you should take a look at Razer keyboards. But if not, go for this instead.

[@shagadelic3000]

@@Oscar-xw7nt Huntsman is the ultimate Keyboard. But once you're used to the g815's low profile you find it hard to switch to razer... I have both btw. I rocked the hunstman with my razer naga pro and it felt like a really elite combo, but sadly I missed the g815 too much so went back.

[@GTR87xD]

I was intrested in the 915 but seen the 815 and was instantly sold. Wireless mouse yes...wireless keyboard...nahh especially when it's not moving

[@Notblind808]

Was in search of a wireless keyboard and came across this beast. Had my doubts but still ordered one and all i have to say its I am no disappointed! Coming from a Corsair K95 platinum I had my doubts that i would regret this purchase, but since I've been using it the last 4 days or so..... VERY satisfying. First Logitech keyboard since the G15. I got the chocolate switch version. Oh, i was bitter about the lack of wrist rest UNTIL i started to actually use this keyboard. It sits so low you do not need a wrist rest, and a wrist rest would just put your hands in an awkward position. This dudes review was pretty spot.

[@Manuel-qu3tc]

My problem is that wireless keyboards are literally useless. You need a wire to charge them anyway, I'd just keep the wire in at all times anyway, it doesn't affect performance. Wireless mice and headsets really are worth it cuz the cables in these things really do affect performance. Bought the Blackwidow v3 pro wireless keyboard and I just keep it plugged in lol. G815 all the way.

[@paulb123414]

I was thinking the same

[@alexkazarossian5599]

[@arensa]

They look pretty cool but holy mother of jezus that price tag is just crazy. 250 euro's for a keyboard is just ridiculous.

[@vincensiuschristopher9929]

I'd honestly go for it just for the sake of completely wireless setup, currently waiting for this thing to be available in Indonesia but yes 250 euro price tag is retarded gotta agree with that.

[@Tworag53]

Yes BUT im still buying one so...

[@Vladian100]

Just curious. In Russia I need to work about 120 hours to buy this, what about you?)

[@paulvorderegger1522]

You can get the wired version cheaper. I got the wired one for 120€ (like new, refurbished).

[@Jangmo_SC]

Just picked up a G915, and I have to say that this is best ever keyboard I have purchased... the price really is the only downside. It sounds great (clicky model) feels amazing and looks sweet. I do wish the top row keys had illuminated secondary features. Happy with this even though the price made me feel sheepish walking out of the store

[@Stephan5916]

The cashier probably gave you the look too.

[@DINZX1112]

how is the keycaps? cuz people are saying they suck

[@briang8608]

Does anyone know if they make this keyboard without the G keys? After a year of use... I still cannot get used to the G-keys... they are in my way to the tab key and my fingers cant get over it.

[@thatautogarage3644]

The battery is way better than advertised. I bought mine May 6th 2022 and it’s now April 2nd 2022 (approximately 1 month), I’ve only charged it once when I got it and still has 67% as of writing this. I use it daily for work and gaming, I’m highly impressed.

[@staticvoidmain]

micro-USB. FAIL.

[@simonspettmann2937]

And the USB Port on the wired keyboard only supports 2.0

[@itsblados]

It's to maintain compatibility with existing Logitech cords from their mice

[@simonspettmann2937]

You forgot about lack of Num Lock indicator light on G915 vs G815 :)

[@MattHare]

"G815 comes with a fairly chunky wire..." Ffs. This is a wired keyboard, pal. Also, you should name your video "keyboard discovery" or "AntiASMR". I barely saw the product, I barely heard it and I barely remember a thing. Cheers.

[@knightwolf200612]

These are NOT exactly the same. On the top of the 915 are 8 round buttons, on the 815 are only 6. What are these differences?

If youve tested and like the feel of the clicky g915 and g815, the Havit HV-KB395L features the same exact low profile Kailh Choc clicky blue switches. Keycaps are also very similar. I know because Ive owned both and returned the Logitech because the The Havit was only like $65 on amazon. They also make a TKL version, but that one isnt full rgb.

Any information if there could be any delay in ms in terms of waiting for the wireless to be recognized ? Some games required fast keyboard response and wired keyboards do benefit here. I wonder what is the case with g915 ?

[@uberdai]

I’m assuming you’ve never used Logitechs Wireless tech? It’s 1ms response time, as fast as it gets.

[@Dgeigerd]

I search G815, mostly G915 videos come up. then This vid came up, 90% G915, 10% G815 oh yeah it has a cable and usb passthrough. there were 2 buttons missing and idk maybe there were 1 more slightly difference. This wasnt really a comparison for me

[@gegen_den_strom]

what you should've mentioned. The switches aren´t interchangable nor are they swappable. You can´t even buy new switches for this one, so if one of your switches breaks, you need a new keyboard, wich makes it a no-go to buy for that price, because it will break within 2 years for sure, wich you will feel once you buy one of these, the switches aren´t that high quality as everyone on youtube tells, they are quite different in quality, even within one keyboard you can notice a big difference between the switch quality, some are wobbly, some are not. So, i would not recomment this keyboard for anyone who cares about quality, cause this one just looks like it is good quality, but is very cheap and not worth the price.

[@Michael-um6ng]

I find it funny how you say "THE ONLY DIFFERENCE is the cable" at the end of the video when it clearly shows a lack of two buttons on the g815 in the same frame and that logo or w/e it is above the home button. Lol.

[@MrGunsnrosesfan100]

Well, the 2 missing buttons are just for the wireless connection which makes sense and the lightspeed logo is a thing they advertise the wireless connection with. So yeah, the only differences are because of the wired vs wireless comparison

[@علوشالعراقي-ز7غ]

I want to buy Logitech G915 lightspeed ,, who the best for gaming and typing? clicky or tactile or linear ??

[@artyboy1377]

I actually bought this not for gaming but for its high-tech sleek looks.. can't imagine a 'gaming' keyboard being so wafer thin with low-profile keys. However, its wireless feature got my attention as i was looking for a wireless keyboard & mouse combo which i could swop out easily when i need to use the desk space for a HOTAS setup to play flight-sims. The look and feel of it is just too cool and I kinda enjoyed typing on it as well.

Hi there! I am new to mechanical keyboards and am considering buying the G 815. Is it possible to easily replace the LEDs? It's important to me because LEDs darken over time due to the limited brightness life expectancy of LED technology. I plan to own the keyboard for a long time. Thx!

[@pinkdarkboii1817]

How is the brushed metal finish on the G815? On Logitech's own official website, with the photos that they've chosen, the finish is definitely more pronounced on the G915 version. It's pretty hard to tell with the G815 just through a photo or video.
