Great keyboard. Wasn't a fan of the linear switch
I ended up returning this for a clicky version. Normally I don't like loud mechanical keyboards so that's why I bought this first. But the clicky isn't that bad. The clicky is the one in all the best buy displays if you want to try out how loud it is. But if you want silent then this is up your alley. It takes a bit of getting use to a low profile if you're moving from a traditional gaming keyboard. But once I got the hang of it I seem to be typing a lot faster. It's well built. The keyboard I was replacing was a Logitech G105 which I had to put double sided velcro on the bottom to keep it in place. Didn't have to with the G-815, it's heavy enough. My only complain aside from Logitech not selling any spare parts like keycaps, is the keycaps. Logitech really dropped the ball with having unlit secondary key symbols. So I've ordered some kailh keycaps from China for 16 bucks that do have full backlight capable keycaps. Will just take a tad of sanding to make them fit this since Logitech has modded the Kailh switches when making their GL switches. But they are close enough to make it a simple DIY project. All in all I'm really happy with this. I wish I had the chance to try out the tactile and that the displays at bestbuy didn't still have the Romer switches out instead of the GL, but you can't have everything in life.

High Expectations | Faulty Hardware
What drew me to this keyboard was the years of experience I've had with Logitech hardware, and the success I've had with it. I managed to test the keyboard out in the store before COVID, and I loved the feel of the keys, the feel of keyboard chassis, the look of the keyboard chassis, and the vibrant RGB's. I wasn't in need of a new keyboard, but when Best Buy had it on sale, and I had a Rewards Certificate that needed to be used, I decided to bite the bullet and buy it. When I unboxed and connected the keyboard to my machine, I was quickly met with an issue of utilizing the ten key pad. I thought maybe Windows needed to install something, so I gave it some time. I rebooted the machine, and tried again and the key pad worked. However, I was then met with another problem. My machine did not receive input from the even number keys (`24680=) on the number row (not number pad). If I picked the keyboard up off the desk, the numlock light would start blinking. The backspace key would not send input, and the delete key would begin flooding characters (oddly the keys that would not send input) into any open text field. I thought it may be a software issue, so I made sure that the latest version of Logitech's G HUB was installed. The software saw they keyboard, but unfortunately the keys still did not work (however their RGBs did). With that said, I quickly boxed the keyboard back up and returned it to Best Buy. I would not have expected this result from this pricey of a keyboard. I expected more from the keyboard and was extremely disappointed. What I'm unsure of is if it was dropped during shipping which damaged it, or if it was sent from the factory damaged. I really wanted to like this and give it a more favorable review, but for the particular product I received, I'm unable to do so. I'm not sure if I will give it another go anytime soon, or move on to something else (I've also been eyeing the Steelseries).
