I bought this keyboard upon its release. It initially impressed me very much. It still does, and maybe it is because I have grown to not recognize how useful it is. You really understand Logitech’s lunge for wireless with this keyboard, mostly if you are a college student (like me) or keep this device at work. It is so versatile. I keep only my iPad connected via bluetooth to the keyboard, and switch the USB between my work and school laptops easily, giving me easy switching between 3 devices. Not only that, but since its wireless, I can throw the thing in the ground if I need desk space for textbooks and notebook. Both of these things are what drew me to this keyboard in the first place.

I keep only my iPad connected via bluetooth to the keyboard, and switch the USB between my work and school laptops easily, giving me easy switching between 3 devices. Not only that, but since its wireless, I can throw the thing in the ground if I need desk space for textbooks and notebook. Both of these things are what drew me to this keyboard in the first place. I could’t imagine a working student life without it. That being said, this app does not allow me to give any division of a whole number of stars, leaving me to decide between 4 and 5 stars. The only reasoning for this decision is that the keys, sound, and design choices are mere mediocre. The keyboard is so boring to type on. Having owned the keyboard 3/4 years now, I realize I have had a lot of time with it, but it has been a long time I’ve been hearing a constant springy noise that has sidetracked my thought countless times. Also, a very interesting choice by LT to design their own switches. Not too huge of an issue with me but I have had some keys break and unfortunately you will have to order a full set to replace just one key. It is through this that I decided a 4 star review was necessary. If possible, I would give it a 4.5-4.7 review. I hope you found this helpful.

A couple key problems that keep it from 5 stars

There are good things about this keyboard that you can see mentioned in the other reviews. I thought I would mention a couple key issues I encountered that kept it from being a premium experience for me personally.First, as mentioned, the charging cable is the dreaded micro-usb. Once you have a few devices on your desk using USB-C, adding one that brings a micro-usb cable back into the setup is a hard sell, especially considering the cost of this keyboard.Second, and this is a minor thing, but for me the layout is a little disorienting. The added keys on the left side of the keyboard made me miss hitting keys along the left side because I'm used to them being on the very edge. Not a huge deal but thought it worth mentioning - if you're a creature of habit those ... MoreThere are good things about this keyboard that you can see mentioned in the other reviews.

Not a huge deal but thought it worth mentioning - if you're a creature of habit those keys might mess with your typing. And if you're like me and not planning on using those keys anyway they're just lemons with no possibility of lemonade.My last issue is the software. I was using this keyboard partially for my work setup and wanted to set up a not animated (or at least minimally animated) color profile and found it very unintuitive to do so. I also tried to use the G Hub software to download profiles from the community but the software just didn't work, prompting me to click a browser button to go back to the app but not actually doing anything in the app. Very frustrating. I looked online for help and found lots of others having similar issues but couldn't find a solution.Overall the hardware feels good. I liked the volume wheel and felt like it worked a lot better than the one on my Razer KB, but the software issues made this a return for me. I might look again once they update with USB-C (assuming the software has been updated by then too).

Expensive, but still glad I purchased it

I was originally looking at purchasing the Tactile version of this keyboard, but the Clicky version was on sale and available locally. My concern was that it would be annoyingly loud, but luckily, the display model at my local Best Buy was the Clicky, allowing me to give it a try. It took a little getting used to the low profile and engagement after using a G810 for several years, but after a few weeks, I’ve gotten used to it.I really like the G hub integration, and the fact that it immediately recognized and implemented the RGB settings from my G810 without having to change a thing. Speaking of which, the lighting pops through the keys pretty well. I also have to hand it to the battery. After 3 weeks, I’m still close to 60% from the original charge. I will say, ... MoreI was originally looking at purchasing the Tactile version of this keyboard, but the Clicky version was on sale and available locally.

I will say, however, that it took quite some time to fully charge when I first got it. Finally, I have to praise the Lightspeed wireless protocol. I can’t perceive ANY lag whatsoever. It’s also greatthatI can connect to myiPad via Bluetooth if I want as well.If there’s anything I can knock, it has to be the MSRP. Even at the sale price, this is likely the most you’ll ever spend on a keyboard, unless you’re into super custom mechanical keyboards. For an off the shelf product, however, it’s pretty solid, and offers a decent mechanical feel, even if it’s not quite on par with those super customs - but, I still feel that for what I paid, the price matches what I got. On the software side, it would be nice if the RGB goodies included the ability to include “reactionary” animations when keys are pressed, and not just the small set of standard patterns. I’m sure the keyboard is technically capable of it if their G hub development gets on it.Combined, these critiques add up to a one star bump, but overall, I’m really happy with the keyboard so far. Let’s see how long the keys hold up. It’s a bit disappointing that Logitech does not seem to offer/sell replacement keys. I do hope that changes in time. Anyway, I’m really happy with my combination of G915, G903 mouse, and PowerPlay wireless charging mouse pad. They all work together really well.

Its low-profile form factor gives it a slim and modern appearance, while the brushed aluminum top plate provides durability and a high-end feel. The keyboard's build quality is outstanding, ensuring it can withstand intense gaming sessions and everyday use.Logitech's Lightspeed wireless technology is a standout feature of the G915 Lightspeed.

With its sleek design, responsive mechanical switches, customizable RGB backlighting, and efficient wireless technology, it offers an outstanding gaming experience. While the premium price and absence of dedicated media keys or USB passthrough are worth noting, the G915 Lightspeed is a worthy investment for gamers who prioritize wireless freedom without compromising on performance.

Good Ergonomics, Unreliable Functionality

I bought this keyboard together with the mouse from the same G line. Everything seems to work ok for the most part, but when it comes to controlling the back lights behind the keys, you can't just do that from the keyboard. You have to go into the app in your computer's program menu and control it from there. However, whenever I try to log into the app, it says that I need to update the keyboard's firmware. But it won't let you do the update via Bluetooth, so you have to disconnect the Bluetooth and connect via hardline, which is micro-USB to USB. But when I do this, the computer is unable to recognize the device so it can't be updated. And it isn't that the port doesn't work, because I plug other devices into those ports all the time.So now the lights either ... MoreI bought this keyboard together with the mouse from the same G line.

What other function could I possibly need the keyboard to do that it doesn't already do once it leaves the factory? And it's not like keyboards need security updates. It's just a keyboard. So if you are going to make a keyboard that needs firmware updates, make it easier to do. There's no reason the firmware data can't be transferred via Bluetooth. That, or put the light controls on the keyboard like most manufacturers do. For the price you pay for this thing, it should do that at minimum. I'm not paying more for the manufacturer to make it more, unnecessarily complicated.

Great Keyboard - Terrible Ghub Software

It is a shame having to give an overall great keyboard a rating of 1 due to their very poor G Hub software. It worked great for a while and now has become a constant problem for both I own.After a recent update key lighting started to be hit or miss with keys changing to a different color or random key lights not turning on at all and the "Dim Active Effect" sleep mode no longer works. The only option now is "Breathing" with a color choice. Not a huge deal, but I liked the Dim Effect, it was nice. The key lighting issue is a big deal since this is sold as an RGB keyboard ...I have reloaded the software multiple times, created multiple profiles called (new Freestyles) and still have the same issues. I am only running one game, so multiple profiles are not the ... MoreIt is a shame having to give an overall great keyboard a rating of 1 due to their very poor G Hub software.

I am only running one game, so multiple profiles are not the problem. The software updated again today and the problem still is present even after creating new profiles again. It looked like making a new Freestyle profile might work for a short while only to be disappointed again when the PC was restarted. The odd part is this only occurs on one of my two profiles. Desktop is the one that always has the problem.Just beware this problem is out there. I have two of these on different computers (high end I9 and I7 12th Gen processors and the usual expected upgrades) that are both new and it is the same with both (after the update).Also, if you are planning to use blue tooth, be advised you are limited to what blue tooth allows. BT features are very limited. Basically only full keyboard single color or a preset. No customization is available.Get the wired version. Wireless is not worth the troubles or extra cost. My wife has a G815 and it has no issues at all.

Solid Keyboard

This keyboard reminds me of the keyboards that were around in the earlier days of PCs.The colors on the keyboard are many to choose from and the keyboard provides a key to dim the lighting of the keys.The rollerbar for the sound is unique. Prone to an easy touch raising or lowering the volume.My 1st gaming keyboard so it has taken a while to adjust to the G1 - G5 keys on the left side of the board.Minor issue -- my previous Logitech keyboard had a key that activated the calculator. While I did use it somewhat, it is not terrible that it not available.CONS:I purchased this keyboard at the same time I got the G502 mouse (gaming mouse).

As best I understand things, both the keyboard and mouse require unique receivers using up 2 USB ports. I had hoped one or the other would recognize the other device.It seems that the details for numerous keys and how to configure them is minimally provided. Perhaps the younger generation is more aware of the symbols on the different keys but I would love a clear explanation and examples.SERIAL NUMBER -- BEWARE, the SN on the outside of the box does NOT match the SN inscribed on the bottom of the keyboard. The registration process provided by Logitech does NOT alert the user to this. Numerous emails with their support resulted in this discovery. Finally got the keyboard officially registered.So far the keyboard has functioned well with both gaming and as a regular keyboard for doing the necessary writing of emails and documents.I opted for this mechanical keyboard after learning that other non-mechanical keyboards use a membrane to activate the specific key and repetitive use of any key (which is what is required with the games I am planning) could impact the membrane causing it to be less sensitive or being recognized.It does seem that keyboard is loaded with lots of extra keys offering multitudes of options for those that may have varying users--such as the configuration of the M1 -M3 and MR buttons.I had an earlier version of the Logitech software installed--that software did not recognize this new hardware. The Logitech G-Hub software only recognizes this keyboard.Unsure if the Logi Bolt software is required--have not taken the time to remove this software to see what, if any, impact it may have on this hardware.If you don't like hearing the keys clatter as you depress them, I would suggest you avoid a mechanical keyboard.While I have only had the keyboard for about 1-2 weeks, I am slowly adapting to some of the new keys and features. Still need to research to better understand any benefits of configurations and the use of the various new extra keys.

TL;DR G915 is nice to type on so I typed a lot.

Positives:The tacticle switches are responsive and nice to type on, they're not aggressively loud and are probably a bit quiter than other Low Profile Brown/Brown equivalents I've used yet still have the satisfying bounce you want from them.The Logitech software for setting up lighting is painless to use and if you open it the battery % remaining is front and centre. It lasts longer than 24 hours constant use according to their website, I alternate charging my mouse and keyboard when I leave the computer with the same micro-usb cord that I hide away when not in use, so I've never seen it get "Low". The battery will last longer without the backlighting on if you're concerned but come on, we're all gamers here, we know we want the backlighting, don't act like you ... MorePositives:The tacticle switches are responsive and nice to type on, they're not aggressively loud and are probably a bit quiter than other Low Profile Brown/Brown equivalents I've used yet still have the satisfying bounce you want from them.The Logitech software for setting up lighting is painless to use and if you open it the battery % remaining is front and centre.

The volume scroll bar in the top right is also very slick.Keycap feel is meh, it's a bit basic, literally not as good as getting custom keycaps but I haven't looked into if that is even possible with this keyboard yet. Apparently they wear out fast but I am only a few weeks into owning this as of January 2023 so we'll see how they go. Hopefully I can extract replacement ones from Logitech if they do wear out. Future me problem now.There's no wrist rest but it's quite thin so my wrists aren't bent on a bad angle trying to type from resting them on the desk, I'm very used to not using a wrist rest since before I purchasd this keyboard so that hasn't been a bother for me. My small portable non-Logitech keyboard is taller than this one, and I have no discomfort using that one either. Take that how you will.The G915 uses a Micro-USB cable to charge from instead of USB-C and I know some people find that unbearable. Logitech saving money I guess, but don't be that concerned. You probably have enough USB ports in the back of your computer for a micro USB cord if you're considering buying this. The cable supplied with the keyboard is long enough to route under your desk cable tray/webbing and retrieve for charging when you go to bed, and my PC is under my desk, so if yours is on the desk you'll be fine, but also fine if not. Like I mentioned before, I charge my mouse with this same cable (the one supplied with this keyboard) so it is a non-issue for me.I am happy with this keyboard, thank you for taking the time to read to the end of my review.
