Logitech G G915 TKL Wireless RGB Mechanical Keyboard

Lo compré porque se anunciaba con disposición en portugués, muy similar a español, incluso en la tarjeta de especificaciones pone que viene en portugués. Pero llegó en inglés. Todo lo demás está muy bien.

First, why is that 1-star review complaining about the price still there and has so many upvotes. It is not even a verified purchase.

I tried the linear and tactile version. Picked the tactile version because I got used to it quicker and appreciated the actuation feedback, which the linear version lacks. Linear is the quietest, but the tactile version is reasonable. You will not bother anyone. I picked this over the apple magic keyboard and corsair mk2 rapid fire. I will include my use case, specs/features, pros, and cons.

Since covid, I work from home. I am a software developer, game a bit (3-10 hours) a week, and write a few reports as part of my job a week. The key caps are matte black and soft, which delivers a very nice feel. If you barely tap the keys, you can slide right across them. I do not eat near my keyboard, but the key caps are pretty good at resisting finger grease/oil. Touch typing will help with this as well. I have a 15inch work mac. I did not mind the butterfly keys, but this is better beyond comparison. The “LightSpeed” connection over usb does its job. I usually have the usb plugged into my gaming pc and use bluetooth for my work mac. I can transtition between the two just by touching the lightspeed/bluetooth buttons on the keyboard. The layout for mac is different, but i got used to it pretty quick. Being able to use one keyboard for mutiple machines at the touch of a button is incredible. You only need to get used to one keyboard, which greatly improves your typing. I use the macros keys for gaming. game changer. The dedicated media keys are a must have for me now. The volume scroll rod is smooth and the rolling distance matches the change in volume. The keyboard has a brushed metal (probably aluminum) finish. Feels very durable, dense, and premium. Under regular light, dust is very visible. The keyboard pacing is good and no fatigue after all day.

The full keyboard is big. 19 inches x 6 inches. good luck finding a soft case for this. I have to use 3 micro fiber cloth to cover this thing when i am away. The keyboard has the back legs. One raises it 4 degress, the other 8 degrees. To me, the 4 degrees is not noticeable. The mechnical switch is visible and almost above the actual board. This contributes to its slim profile. I really wish there was a wrist wrest, so I could get a consistent hand posture and feel. 5 macro keys down the left. full row of function keys, must have for gaming. total of 12 soft rubber-ish buttons for stuff like media, macro controls, and wireless connectivity. Full RGB per key back light only over lightspeed. The backlight customization is limited over bluetooth. I usually have the backlight off… cause i do not look at the keyboard. I really could care less about keyboard rgb. There is a battery and capslock light indicator. Battery life is great. since i do not have the back lghts on, it exceeds the advertised 30hrs. Oh, I also just walk away when i am done working and it just takes one key press to wake up the keyboard and connect. Near seemless reconnection. The included cable is also nice. Mesh/braided. My desk looks a lot cleaner now with a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse.

I used a cheap $20 keyboard+mouse combo from amazon at home for a long time. At work i have the macbook pro’s butterfly keys and apple’s full magic keyboard. I bought the corsair mk2 rapid fire linear, but did not like the lack of actuation feedback. The cheap keyboard cannot compare at all… Mac’s butterfly takes sometime to adjust. If you like it you can really fly on that keyboard. The magic keyboard has a little bit more travel than the butterfly, but I still prefer the mechanic tactile feel and media keys of this g915. The 15inch mac build has a 90 degrees hard edge finish. When i type and rest my arms, my wrist will rest on the hard edge and after a while it bothers me and leaves a mark. This is why i like wrist rests.

Pros: almost everthing i said above
-fast reconnecting, and swapping between bluetooth and lightspeed
-very good build quality, materials, looks, layout, functionality, and useability
-full rgb with Logitech GHUB software
-great battery
-slim, low profile
-nearly best in class for everything it does
-logitech ghub software is surprisingly good for keyboard customization

Cons: not much, very preference based
-19″x6″. traveling with this not the best. Will not fit most desk keyboard trays. make sure you have the desk space.
-The SHIFT+NUM (~!@#$%…)_+) are not backlit. They are printed on the keys.
-No wrist rest… like come on even the $20 combo has a wrist wrest. The mk2 also had a wrist wrest.
-price (based on your value and opinion)

I felt like i need to address the 1-start review on this item that has 300+ votes complaining about the price. This is one of the few wireless (dual connection), real mechanical switches, full dedicated media keys, with macros that features great build quality with a slim profile. I literally use every feature this keyboard offers. Using only one keyboard for my work mac and gaming pc just make that $250 worth it.

Pontos positivos:
– Resposta rápida
– Design bonito e bons materiais de construção
– Bateria duradoura (dura >5 dias se vc usar o brilho em 50%)
– Totalmente personalizável (App Logitech)

Pontos negativos:
– Não é ABNT
– O barulho ao pressionar as teclas é perceptível (a proposta deste teclado não é ser silencioso)
– As Teclas da Logitech na lateral direita podem gerar “estranheza” no início.

Pague por un producto nuevo y me llegó claramente uno usado Refurbished , fuera de su caja sucia , con teclas sueltas y con el adaptador USB faltante.

Simplemente no lo regresé porque me urgía el teclado para trabajar.

Needed to get a new keyboard after my previous one started double clicking and this one intrigued me quite a bit. I wanted to find a wireless tkl model that also had dedicated media buttons and this one fit that bill. I was initially a little hesitant due to the high price but decided to go with it anyways. I am very glad that I did, as it is the best keyboard I have ever used for sure. Now I have not used a huge variety of them, probably around 5-6 over the last 7 or so years, but I was still impressed at how much I enjoyed using it. Here’s how I feel it fares in a few categories –

Connectivity :
I haven it had any connection issues when using the keyboard with its included wireless dongle. While I have not made use of the integrated bluetooth, it is a nice to have that I may in the future. The keyboard mostly stays right on my desk at all times so Im not entirely sure what kind of range you will have with the wireless but, based on my experience with other Logitech light speed devices, I would imagine it will suffice even if your use case places it further away from the machine its connected to. The keyboard uses micro usb for charging and wired connections. Which felt a little underwhelming given the high price point, even if the keyboard has been out for a few years now, but all of my other peripherals are still micro usb as of now so it was convenient for me. Though I don’t swap keyboards as often as my headset or mouse so usb c would have been nice as far as future proofing goes.

Battery Life :

Battery life is typically one of the biggest drawbacks when switching to wireless peripherals but Ive been pleasantly surprised so far. Not only is it a keyboard, which means operating it in wired mode isn’t as annoying as with a mouse or headset when charging, but the battery will last a fair amount of time as well. The keyboard has a fairly aggressive sleep timer by default which allows it to last for around a week at minimum even when I am using my pc regularly. The sleep timer will not shut off while typing or anything but it will likely sleep if you are watching even shorter videos. Which is no problem for me as I like the superior battery life gained from this and the keyboard is very quick to wake, so you can pick right back up. The battery life I have achieved is also with rgb on, so the outlook may be even better for you if rgb is something you keep off.

Typing Experience :

This keyboard is my absolute favorite to type on. The keys have plenty of travel and I actually prefer the low profile switches used here compared to the typical profile of a gaming keyboard. On top of that, I also generally prefer clicky mechanical switches so the blues used here are perfect for me, but obviously that is subjective. I switch between a few different computers regularly for one reason or another and I easily get back up to my full typing speed on this keyboard. One caveat to this, though, is that due to the low profile switches the key stabilization could be a touch better. It’s not terrible, and the space bar feels fine, but overall the keys do wobble a bit more than I typically like. I also use Caps Lock quite often and much prefer having a dedicated light to let me know that its on/off versus the changed in the key backlight some keyboards use. As far as the media buttons go, though, the school wheel feels nice but the other buttons feel a little mushy and too sensitive to press. They’re far enough away from the main keys so I don’t misclick on them but they can be pressed from any angle and just have very little tactility. Not a dealbreaker but figured it was worth mentioning.

Software :

Logitechs G Hub software is one of the better peripheral software suites out there in my opinion. it seems to be relatively lightweight, and I have not run into bugs or issues as often as I have with the software offered by Razer and Corsair. I have not done too much customization of the keyboard with the software, however, so I can’t really elaborate how effective it may be for a power user in this regard.

Closing thoughts:

Overall, this keyboard is amazing. I love typing on it, and the wireless does provide more benefit than it does cons for me personally. The lack of usb type c and the lackluster media keys are really the only drawbacks I can think of and neither are dealbreaking issues to me. The main area of contention would have to be the price. It could be difficult to justify the price especially if wireless seems a needless feature for what you are looking for. Which makes be a little sad that there is not a wired version of this keyboard. The typing experience is so excellent that a wired version of this keyboard for around the $100 to even $150 mark would be an easy recommendation in my opinion. There is also the fact that I believe Razer is releasing their own low profile keyboard that would compete with this. Given its far newer, it may rectify those 2 drawbacks with this keyboard so pricing will definitely be an important factor. Though, again, I prefer Logitechs software, and I have not had great battery life on Razer devices so we’ll have to see. In any case, this keyboard is still a great option, especially if you find it on sale.
