I LOVE This Keyboard. The Best I've Tried.
Posted .Pros mentioned:Compact, Design, KeysCons mentioned:Ease of use, Noise, PriceSo, lets break down this ridiculously long title. Logitech G915 TKL is the product name. TKL stands for tenkeyless which means it doesn’t come with a number pad. Which is great for “eSport Athletes” as it gives your mouse more room to do its thang. There is also the Logitech G915 which is the full-size version of this keyboard that comes with a number pad. Both come with LightSpeed Wireless. Which in short is super-fast wireless tech that will allow you to game at the same levels as wired keyboards. RGB means it supports 16.7 million colors that you can adjust for each key. Last mechanical means the switch it uses. This keyboard supports linear, clicky, and tactile. More on that later. PACKAGING: Starting off with the packaging which I don’t always mention. But in this case, this product comes in at a premium price which means you want a premium opening experience. Which I am happy to report is excellent. It’s probably the best keyboard opening experience I’ve ever had. With it being a TKL wireless keyboard you may be traveling with it which means you can use this box which is also small and compact to ensure nothing damages it. LET’S GET NERDY: Keyboards are usually simple. You plug them in VIA USB and then you type away. The most complicated they get is by adding Bluetooth and trying to figure out which switches they are using (membrane, mechanical, or optical)? But this one is an over achiever and comes with both Bluetooth and LIGHTSPEED wireless. Along with your choice of three different low-profile mechanical switches. It comes with Bluetooth 5.0. To connect to the Bluetooth is simple. It DOES NOT require a dongle to be plugged into the device. There are two buttons on the top left of the keyboard. The first got hit by Voldemort and got imbued with magical powers and has a lightning bolt with waves behind it for LIGHTSPEED. The second right next to it is the Bluetooth logo. If you have not paired the keyboard to another device before once you press the Bluetooth button it will go into pairing mode while flashing blue. Then you go through the normal process. I did it on my iPad and iPhone and it had me put in a code on the keyboard followed by the enter key to fully pair it. If you want to pair it to another device, you hold down the Bluetooth button until it flashes (the lights on the keyboard will flash) and then you can connect to a new device. However, if you want to connect back to the first device you need to forget the connection on both devices and then go through the pairing process from scratch again. For my iPad I had to forget the device, turn off Bluetooth, turn it back on and then it would work. Which is disappointing at this price point. I would expect it to be smoother in transitioning from device to device. Last up we have the low-profile mechanical switches. Logitech calls their version “Low Profile GL Switches” which are incredibly similar to Kailh low profile chocolate switches. Which they worked in conjunction with. The only differences I was able to see between the two switches were that the GL switches have slightly lower overall travel at 2.7 mm compared to 3.0 mm. They come in three flavors. Red for linear, Brown’s which are tactile, and white clicky switch. All three actuate at 1.5 mm with a total travel of 2.7 mm with 50 grams of force. I think they are rated at 70 million clicks. They are mechanical switches which means that they do have a debounce delay and can develop double clicks. The Kailh chocolate switch has a debounce delay window of up to 5 ms so I assume these do as well. BUILD QUALITY/AESTHETICS: It sports a brushed 5052-aluminum alloy top plate that joins a steel-reinforced base. The bottom, top, and back are all made of high-quality plastic. With a lot of pressure, I was able to get just a very slight amount of bending. It feels ridiculously premium. The best I have ever felt. On the top right you have an aluminum-crafted volume wheel. This too feels incredible. It uses a light amount of force to scroll with. It has mild/moderate amount of pressure which is equal throughout the whole thing. It scrolls infinitely. If you shake it left to right, there is ever so slightly some wiggle. You cannot press it. Going left to right. You have your LIGHTSPEED toggle which if you press while it is on LIGHTSPEED will notify you of battery level via the battery light. Which changes color based on how much battery life you have left. Next to that is the Bluetooth, then Game Mode, then Brightness control. Which comes in at five stages (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 0%). They are covered in a rubber material. They take a mild to moderate amount of pressure to actuate with a tactile bump that feel remarkably like membrane keys. They are not even when pressing down on them. So, if you come in on the side you can feel one side depress before the other. The RGB lighting on it isn’t equal like they are for the normal switches but just as accurate as the rest of the board. Overall, this is the worst part of the keyboard for me and I just don’t think it fits well with the premium feel of the rest of the keyboard. Up next is the keys themselves. They are coated with oleophobic which is meant to minimize fingerprints. They feel good but they seem to wiggle a bit more than other keyboards. Your F1 – F4 keys are used for macros. With F4 being the recording and F1, F2, and F3 storing that info. In the top middle of the keyboard you have the battery indicator and notification if you are on caps lock or not. You cannot and I repeat cannot edit what each key does on this keyboard. You can only edit the F keys. So, for example if I want my right arrow button to be left mouse click I cannot do that. But I can assign left mouse click to be F12. On the back you can raise the keyboard at either 4 or 8 degrees. It also has a small slot that you can slide the dongle into. It does not come with a wrist rest. I don’t know why you would need one though as this is so low profile that a wrist rest wouldn’t really do anything more than what your desk is. Some shortcuts that you can do on the keyboard are by holding the FN key you can press F1, F2, or F3 to go through onboard memory profiles which include lighting. You also have two dedicated lighting profiles that you can access by holding down the lighting key and pressing “8” or “9”. To record a macro you press FN and F4. PERFORMANCE: I chose the clicky variant as that is my favorite type of switch. The clicks themselves are quiet. Especially, in comparison to Blues or Razers Clicky Opto-mechanical switch. They sound the same as the Opto-Mechanical switch just a lot quieter. I don’t think this would bother people in an office environment. As for the tactile bump it is very light. To the point I can barely feel it. I would have preferred this to be a bit more noticeable. For the LIGHTSPEED WIRELESS. On Human Benchmark I scored the same whether I was in Wireless or Wired mode. I also played Apex Legends, Escape From Tarkov, and GTAV and noticed no problems with latency, drops, or issues. As for Bluetooth. I didn’t play any games. But noticed no lag while typing. I got 113 WPM on a typing test. To switch back to LIGHTSPEED it takes about a second. To switch back to Bluetooth, it took 2 - 3 seconds. So, it is fast. I was pleasantly surprised. It was the same when going from the off position to the on position. Last, I was able to use all my saved lighting profiles and normal profiles in Bluetooth mode. Up next is battery life. They report that it is up to 40 hours with lighting on max. Or 135 days if lighting is off and you game for 8 hours a day. Which breaks down to about 1,080 hours. For me personally, I used a single color (orange) at maximum brightness and purposefully did not turn the keyboard off at night or when I left my computer. Using it like I normally would with a lot of typing and some gaming it went from 100% to 70% in 7 days and it reports I still have 28 hours left. So, I would rate the battery life as excellent. As for lighting. It is fantastic. It gets nice and bright. It is also accurate and shows orange and purple well. Logitech G Hub never froze or crashed on me. However, it is not user friendly at all and trying to figure out how to do something simple is tedious and often cannot be done. Which makes your ability to be creative with the lighting limited to just changing static colors and having simple profiles. At this price range that can leave a slightly sour taste in the mouth. Since I haven’t tried their other keyboards, I can’t say if that is a design flaw for this keyboard since it is wireless or because they just have limited overall potential. PROS: - Looks, build quality, features, switches, lighting, scroll wheel, size/shape/weight, performance, battery life, feel. CONS: - Cannot adjust individual keys. Only the F keys. - The top buttons feel a bit mushy and not as premium as the rest of the board. - Sell your first and second child expensive. - G HUB is not user friendly and limits what you can do. But it sure looks pretty. - Cannot customize the lighting as much as some other keyboards such as Razer or Corsair. - Bluetooth switching isn’t as smooth as I would like.

Amazing keyboard for gaming and everyday use
Posted .Pros mentioned:Compact, Design, KeysCons mentioned:Noise, Price, UsbKeyboards are sort of a collector’s item for me. have a nice collection of them because I’ve been searching for the ideal mechanical keyboard for gaming as well as my everyday uses. Mechanical keyboards are widely popular with gamers worldwide, but they can also be great for regular computer tasks. So, for a number of years I have been testing out a variety of keyboards trying to find one that has a lengthy battery life, connects wirelessly to my MacBook Pro and Windows laptop, is compact in size, provides a remarkable clicky sound and feel from the keys, and, of course, built-in RGB backlight. The most recent keyboard I’ve tried out is the G915 TKL from Logitech. It’s a tenkeyless Wireless RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard that features LIGHTSPEED wireless technology. The Logitech G915 TKL Wireless Mechanical Keyboard is designed to enhance the gameplay experience for gamers. It features low-profile mechanical switches (half the height of standard mechanical switches) and is made with aircraft-grade aluminum for durability. Users have the choice of three different switches — Clicky for tactile feedback, Linear for smooth keystrokes, and Tactile for a discernible bump. On a single charge, the G915 TKL can have up to 40 hours of use time and it provides low battery warnings at 15% via the keyboard LED indicator and a pop-up notification from the G Hub software. The keyboard has dedicated media controls for easy access to play, pause, advance, rewind or mute your media. There is a G915 keyboard that includes the number pad, but part of the reason this keyboard was developed was to provide more room for mouse movement while gaming. The keyboard is designed to work with a wide array of computers included both Window and Mac operating systems. This is one of the reasons I continually seek out new keyboards. I want to have one that can work seamlessly with my Windows laptop (used exclusively for gaming) and my MacBook Pro (used for both gaming and productivity). I don’t like having to bounce back and forth between two keyboards when I switch between systems. The G915 TKL provides me the option to switch back and forth between systems easily with either the Bluetooth connection or the LIGHTSPEED Wireless USB receiver. SOFTWARE Logitech provides a software package called “G Hub” for users to customize their keyboard experience. This is pretty typical for gaming keyboards and even though I use my for ‘everyday’ use and not just gaming, I had some fun customizing different profiles and changing the function keys around. I do want to point out that in order to use the functionality of G Hub you must remain connected to it. That means, you have to be connected using the LIGHTSPEED wireless feature either through the USB receiver or by direct wired connection through the provided Micro USB cable. I found it interesting that Logitech does not have the G915 TKL or its predecessor listed as support keyboards in the list for G Hub. Once I figured out that Bluetooth mode was incompatible, I didn’t have any issues with using G Hub. Therefore, I assume that Logitech just hasn’t updated their compatibility list in a while. One of the main features I really appreciate with the G Hub software is the dashboard. With the dashboard, you can view all the details of your connected devices and make quick updates to firmware with just a few clicks. The main settings you can control within G Hub (at least for the G915 TKL) include: LIGHTSYNC: The ability to customize lighting effects and control how they are displayed on your computer. ASSIGNMENTS: This was probably the feature I had the most fun with. Within Assignments, you can map the F keys to control different system commands, create macros, assign actions (if available), place commands on a specific key, and even drag/drop system controls onto the keyboard. GAME MODE: The third main feature within G Hub for the G915 TKL was customizing Game Mode. This feature really just allows you to ignore keys for gaming that normally ‘get in the way.’ FORM Because I like to keep my desk set-up clean and free of clutter, I LOVE the low-profile nature of the keyboard. It sits approximately one inch tall and doesn’t have a large case surrounding the main keyboard. I really love this design choice. The media keys are a nice touch, but since you can customize your F keys in the G Hub software, they could essentially be eliminated. There is a scroll wheel included for the volume control and a place on the underside of the keyboard to store the USB receiver when it’s not in use. I also really like the choice to use aluminum for the case because it makes the keyboard lightweight while still being very robust and well-weighted. There are small feet that angle the keyboard approximately 4º, which is great for typing and gaming. As far as the switches go, my personal preference is usually geared towards Blue switches or switch types that are similar. The mechanical switches that are included in the G915 TKL are Logitech’s advanced mechanical switches designed specifically for gaming. They are called “GL” and they come in a few varieties. Since I typically prefer the Blue switch variety, GL Clicky is the version I chose for this keyboard. It has a gentle tactile feedback when you press down on it and the best ‘clicky’ sound as you type. The keyboard does not come with a key puller and from what I’ve read, isn’t really designed for easy key replacement. One article I found stated that the legs beneath the keys are easy to snap off and it may be unlikely to find replacement keys if they get broken. For that reason, I did not include a photo beneath the key caps as I didn’t want to chance ruining the keyboard for future use. The lighting effects are stunning on this keyboard. It shows off vibrant colors and the brightness can’t be beat. I love that you have the option to customize these effects (even on a Mac) to your specific preference. One of the reasons that I love being able to customize the lighting effects is because the RGB settings can greatly effect the battery life of the keyboard. That said, I typically keep my keyboard at 100% brightness (what can I say? I like colored lights) and I’ve still been very happy with my battery life. ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT One of the features of this keyboard that really surprised me was the fact that it charges with Micro USB and not USB-C. Since most modern devices are moving toward USB-C as the ‘standard’ for charging and connectivity, it’s really shocking that such a state-of-the-art keyboard like the G915 TKL would take such a monumental step into the past for it’s main method of external charging and connection. Now, if you look at other Logitech gaming peripherals it’s clear that they haven’t embraced it as a charging standard yet, but I am still going to wonder why because other Logitech products have embraced USB-C. Another feature that would really make Mac users happy is if this were a ‘true’ Apple keyboard. Even though the keyboard works with macOS computers, it doesn’t have Mac keys included. While this is a very minor criticism, I feel like it’s something that would really make this keyboard spectacular for all users. JUST PLAYING AROUND When it comes to gaming, this keyboard is the best option around for one big reason — timing. Thanks to the ultra slim profile of the keyboard, a gamer’s travel distance is much shorter than traditional mechanical keyboard. It’s also great to have lag-free wireless connectivity thanks to the LIGHTSPEED wireless technology. With that wireless boost, users can actually move a decent distance away from the computer and still have a lag-free experience. Another factor that makes this keyboard ideal for gamers is the absence of the num pad and G Programmable buttons. The full size G915 measures in at 475mm wide and the TKL version is only 368mm wide. That big of a difference does make it easier for gamers to coordinate between the keyboard and mouse in an action scenario. EVERYDAY FUNCTIONALITY In addition to gaming, the G915 TKL is also an amazing daily-driver. It’s comfortable to type on and because of its compact size it is perfect in an active workspace. I know that throughout the day I will sometimes spread out paperwork and other items across my desk. With that in mind, it’s wonderful to be able to have a smaller footprint on my desk so that I can still work actively and not have to rearrange my desk in order to do it. As far as typing speed goes, I was able to average around 60WPM on the G915 TKL. This is slightly slower than I normally type at, which is an average of 65WPM. I think this has more to do with getting used to the keyboard. The keys are comfortable to type even after long periods of time and long-form documents. PRICE There is no doubt that this a premium mechanical keyboard and you will pay a premium price for it. At $230 (at the time of publishing), the G915 TKL is currently Logitech’s second highest priced keyboard - second only to its predecessor, the G915. There are certainly more expensive mechanical gaming keyboards out there, but most of them that are of the same caliber as the G915 TKL are between $150-$200. As an afterthought, I don’t think the price would bother me so much if USB-C were used over Micro USB. FINAL THOUGHTS I’ve been very happy with the G915 TKL. It’s got remarkable battery life and despite the fact that it uses Micro USB to charge, it’s a very solid keyboard for any type of use. Aside from the price, it’s probably the best wireless low-profile keyboard around and gamers should be incredibly excited about it since Logitech is answering a call that has been out there for quite some time. I can recommend this amazing keyboard to any type of user. It is worth the investment.

Exquisite Keyboard That Comes with a Price
Posted .Pros mentioned:Design, Keys, TypeCons mentioned:Ease of use, PriceThe Logitech G915 TKL is here and provides some of the best features a keyboard can have. This keyboard is made with high-end materials that provide the user with a sense of quality. This keyboard is made with an aluminum alloy that provides great durability and a beautiful finish. I was incredibly satisfied with the build quality of this keyboard. Prepare to pay a hefty price for this keyboard! This keyboard has many notable and useful features, but the keyboard is not worth 230 dollars. Logitech could bring the price down to a more affordable price so others can have access to this masterpiece. The G915 TKL provides the user with 40 hours of battery on a single charge. A bit more than the full G915 which will provide about 30 hours. The low-profile switches and thin keyboard provides the user with comfort and a greater typing speed. The G915 TKL has 3 GL switch versions. This one is the GL Clicky Switch and wow does it click! If you are a lover of the traditional “clicking” sound, this keyboard is for you. There is also a dedicated slot on the back of the keyboard for the USB receiver, an excellent design choice. The keyboard has both wired and wireless connections. The wireless connection is done with either Bluetooth or the provided USB receiver. The keyboard is still using micro USB and there are newer keyboards that have already moved on to USB-C. Why is Logitech still using micro? Many devices, from phones, tablets, and even laptops have already moved on to USB-C. USB-C is the future, Logitech should adapt and move on as well. The keys are customizable and programable by using the Logitech G Hub Software that is available on both Mac OS and Windows devices. But this software is a horror show. For a company with really great products, the software is a joke. The software is not user friendly and one can have a hard time getting around. There are many bugs with the software and clearly, there is not a lot of time spent improving it. Overall, this keyboard is truly beautiful and nice to the touch. The price is a bit appalling but the features and build quality make up for it. If you have the money, buy it! You will not regret it. Pair the keyboard with the Logitech G903 Gaming Mouse(https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-mice/g903-hero-wireless-gaming-mouse.910-005670.html) for the ultimate experience! I will leave Logitech with a couple of suggestions: -Switch to USB-C -Make the keyboard more affordable -Improve the Logitech G Hub Software, seriously, the software needs urgent attention.

Wireless without compromises
Posted .Pros mentioned:Design, Keys, LightingCons mentioned:Noise, SwitchesThere are a lot of mechanical keyboards on the market that feature advanced features catering to gamers and people looking to show off their design chops. There are slightly less mechanical keyboards on the market allowing people who want to enjoy the superior typing experience provided by a mechanical board without needing to worry about running a wire back to your computer. There is surprisingly little overlap between the two groups. But the G915 manages to fit into that narrow little sliver of the Venn diagram, and does so with surprising aplomb. One of the first things I noticed on taking the keyboard out of the box is how well built the whole thing is. While the bulk of the keyboard is still plastic, the machined aluminum top plate gives it a surprising amount of heft and rigidity for how thin it is. The G915 is barely larger than some of the portable Bluetooth keyboards I've seen being sold for use with smart phones, and yet there's barely a hint of deck flex or any kind of fitting gap in the seams. Even better is the fact that they've found a way to include integrated storage for the keyboard's RF dongle, a particularly important addition seeing as it sticks out far enough that I don't think I'd be comfortable keeping it plugged in on a laptop if I wanted to throw the whole setup into a backpack to take along with me. In using the keyboard for typing and gaming, I've found its performance to be very good overall, though perhaps not quite matching some of the larger boards I've tried. The short travel distance you get with the low profile switches makes for a very responsive board overall, though there will likely be a little bit of adjustment time required if you're using to typing on a full size mechanical as it's very easy to use too much force and end up banging away at the keys. Unfortunately in testing my keyboard, one of the tactile "clicky" variants, I also discovered that the switches' actuation point where they register a key press is slightly shallower than the tactile bump meant to provide feedback. There's easily enough tension in the spring to keep this from being a problem if you're just resting your fingers on the home row or WASD keys during normal use, so I don't think this is likely to be a serious problem for most. But if you're the kind of gamer who habitually rides a key just shy of the actuation point, it's worth considering that you might have a bit of a hard time doing it with these particular switches. Speaking of reaction time, let's talk about transmission delays. It's commonly accepted by many that wireless peripherals in general have to contend with a certain amount of latency that can make them either unreliable or simply less desirable for gaming purposes. Having tried it in all three modes (Wired, bluetooth, and Logitech's proprietary Lightspeed wireless) I can confirm that latency and reliability do not appear to be significant issues. Wired and Lightspeed modes are rock solid, though admittedly you might encounter some issues with the latter if you don't have a relatively unobstructed path between the keyboard and the receiver. In recognition of this, they thoughtfully include an adapter which can turn any standard micro-USB cable into an extension that can bring the receiver out onto your desk. There is admittedly some noticeable lag in Bluetooth mode, but despite my best efforts I couldn't get it to drop any keypresses. But if you're determined not to risk it,, plugging the keyboard in with a micro-usb cable will immediately switch it over to wired operation. So, now that I've adequately covered all the technical performance, let's talk about the creature comforts. The keyboard can be set to elevations of 0, 4, and 8 degrees using the integrated feet, and as one might expect from a product designed to maximize your desk space there isn't an integrated wrist rest. Media controls are more than adequate, with a nice large wheel to use for volume control or whatever else you might want to configure it for using Logitech's G-Hub software. There's also options for two different key mapping profiles (with the default gaming mode disabling common problem keys such as the windows and context menu buttons) and support for full per-key lighting profiles that work in both Lightspeed and wired modes. Switching the keyboard over to Bluetooth will bring up a standard rainbow cycle, and you can control the brightness or turn off the backlight completely with a dedicated button on the top of the keyboard. There are also three macro buttons (sharing space with the F1, F2, and F3 keys) as one would expect on such a board. The only thing that's missing is built in integration with other desktop RGB ecosystems like iCue or Aura Sync - though there's always the chance that it could be added at a later date. Overall, the G915 is an excellent keyboard and arguably the first mechanical board I've seen that could really qualify as portable. Thin and small might not be for everyone, but Logitech has really done it right here.

Solid, comfy (and expensive) wireless TKL
Posted .Pros mentioned:Keys, Lighting, TypeCons mentioned:Noise, Price, SwitchesI own the full-sized Logitech G815 clicky but my keyboard sits on the smaller segment of an L-shaped desk and I have to angle it slightly diagonally to fit. I wanted to give the G915 TKL clicky a try for more space, less wires and better comfort . Like the 815, the 915 TKL is constructed of a thin metal body and low profile keys. The biggest obvious difference between the two aside from the 915 being wireless is the smaller TKL design of this keyboard. Despite being pretty thin, it has good weight to it and feels solid and substantial. The TKL version also jettisons the hardware macro keys. The setup guide wasn’t helpful at all due to vague confusing pictographs, invalid URLs and lack of context with each step. The guide includes a URL that appears to lead to a dedicated G915 TKL support page but actually dumped me onto the general Logitech support page. Clicking on the G915 TKL from Logitech’s main support page did the same. At the moment at least, the support page for this specific keyboard doesn’t appear to be live but the G-hub companion software is available. The pictographs in the guide instructed me to connect the lightspeed receiver to the USB extender, connect the extender to the included USB cable and connect the cable to the computer. It made no sense whatsoever but with no additional explanation nor resources available for clarification, I did it anyhow before realizing it was totally unnecessary. Setup is actually super easy without the guide: - Connect the lightspeed receiver directly to the computer - Power on the keyboard via the switch on the back - Enable the wireless button on top left of keyboard and you’re done. - Another option is to pair the keyboard to a device using the bluetooth pairing button. This process is especially useful for Mac users and anyone preferring Bluetooth over a USB receiver. Thankfully, Bluetooth setup is illustrated much more clearly in the guide I downloaded and installed the G-hub software from the G815 support page and was happy to see a release note indicating it had been updated for use with the G915 TKL. G-hub installed without issue and works perfectly fine with the 915 TKL. Through the G-hub software I can set key lighting and animations and assign key commands, actions or macros. The G-hub software also indicates remaining keyboard battery life and there is also a low battery indicator light on the keyboard itself. The keyboard can be powered off if desired when not in use to preserve battery life. The per-key RGB lighting is impressive. The keys are bright, vivid and easy to identify. The shift characters aren’t illuminated but it isn’t a huge deal for me personally. The keys have a comfy feel, solid tactile feedback and don’t require a lot of actuation force to register a stroke. The volume rocker also moves smoothly and accurately. The “clicky” key sound is just loud enough to offer audible reassurance of a keystroke without being overly loud or annoying. That being said, it’s not silent and like any clicky switch keyboard, could still potentially annoy others, especially a roommate. The low profile keys have a little more play than my full-sized keys but I personally have no issue with the feel while typing or during gaming sessions and see no drop off on my typing speed. Wireless performance has worked fine so far with no noticeable latency. It is a very pleasant and comfortable keyboard to use for both gaming and typing. The G915 TKL is a decent TKL keyboard that packs a lot into a small package. Leading the short list of cons is price. Two hundred plus is a lot to pay for a keyboard, particularly when there are some really nice wired and wireless TKL keyboards available for less than half the cost of the G915. That’s not saying the G915 isn’t worth it. Pricing is subjective and only the purchaser knows whether or not it is worth it to them. I’m merely saying if low latency wireless isn’t an absolute necessity, there are many other very nice, similarly designed TKL keyboards out there costing much less. For example, I have another TKL keyboard made by a different well-known manufacturer that I use with my gaming laptop on the go. It is similar in build and quality but is wired and has linear switches although tactile switches are also available. Both keyboards are about the same length, weight and thickness but my other TKL has full sized keys and is slightly narrower measuring top to bottom (see pics). It also sells for less than half the price of the G915. Aside from being wired, it’s pretty similar to the G915 in nearly every other aspect. The G915 TKL is nice and offers industry leading lag free wireless but if understandably outside a particular budget, is far from the only option available. The other con is the use of micro-USB. On a keyboard costing this much, I expected to see USB-C. It’s kind of like finding fake wood trim in a new Rolls Royce. My overall rating, it it were allowed, would actually be 4.5 stars with a half-star knocked off for price, micro-USB and the lack of support at release.

Wireless Clicky Keyboard of My Dreams
Posted .Pros mentioned:Compact, Design, KeysI won't even hold back, I love this keyboard. It's clicky. It's wireless. It's extremely responsive. And it's full-sized, yet compact. It does everything you'd expect from a high end gaming keyboard in this class, especially from a company as reputable in peripherals as Logitech. If there's any downside, it's a bit hefty at 2 lbs, but there might be a good reason for that. Let's get into the details. TL;DR - If you want a clicky wireless keyboard, you will be very happy. PERFORMANCE The G915 TKL is so responsive you'll forget it's wireless. Using the USB Lightspeed receiver, I've had no delay or connection issues. It wakes up my PC just as a wired one should and the battery life is ridiculous if you dim or turn the illumination off (46 days!!!). But this is a gaming keyboard, so of course the lights are staying on and they're even easy to customize with the Logitech G Hub app. For light customization (Lightsync) there's presets and animations that you can edit/save, or go full freestyle with your own programming. And doing so is as easy as picking your color and which button you want to change. I wish other companies made customization this easy, because something as simple as lights really should be. G HUB also makes it easy to customize macros, commands, and there's a "Game Mode" that's pretty nifty as well. Here you can select what keys are deactivated in Game Mode, which is useful if you're a bit clumsy with your hands like me. Speaking of which, the Logitech engineers had the forethought to add buttons at the top of the keyboard to easily change between Lightspeed or bluetooth connection, turn game mode on/off, and control keyboard illumination. Across from them on the right are the media control buttons and a metal volume dial which all manage to stay pretty low profile. What's cool about the Lightspeed and bluetooth button is that you can hook them up to different computers and switch which one it's connected to with a single button push. This is the clicky version of the G915 TKL, which should be immensely satisfying to old school heads like myself. It uses Kailh switches that are industry proven and should also make the keycaps customizable if you want to get creative. DESIGN It's a full size TKL keyboard with a brushed dark metal body, outstanding finish, and surprising heft at 2 lbs. I don't know if it's the metal body or a large battery that contributes to this, but it could also be by design. The combo of the rubber feet and weight have kept it planted better than any other keyboard I've had. This is important in competition where response rate and reflexes can be the difference between winning and losing. Aesthetically, Logitech kept the lines clean and compact in the design of the G915 TKL, which manages a full size feel while saving valuable table space. And yes, since it's wireless, it does well on the lap too. OVERALL The Logitech G915 TKL is an outstanding wireless gaming keyboard. It's responsive, well built, easy to customize, and oh so clicky. If you're in the market for a high end wireless keyboard, you won't be disappointed by the G915 TKL line. They also have a tactile and linear version if clicky isn't your thing. Highly recommended.

Quality and LIGHTSPEED
Posted .Pros mentioned:Keys, Lighting, TypeCons mentioned:Ease of useLogitech - G915 TKL Tenkeyless LIGHTSPEED Wireless RGB Mechanical Gaming GL Clicky Switch Keyboard with Back Lighting is one nice keyboard. I have many Logitech products and they do not disappoint. They always a quality product for a reasonable price. In the box you get an LIGHTSPEED connector cord, the keyboard and a quick start paper. The keyboard surface is aluminum so it will be very durable I think the black looks great with the keys and RGB! The keyboard is put together very well. The keys have a great feel for typing and gaming. The keys are not incredibly loud which is a plus in my books. The customization of the lighting per key is more confusing and difficult to set up the way you want. You have great flexibility but it can take some time to set up.Custom animations are a little more complex than other RGB keyboards I have used. The gaming experience is top notch! There is great response time and you cannot tell it is wireless. The volume controls are amazing and work well. It is nice that the volume bar cannot be spun to no end. Switching connections between Bluetooth and LIGHTSPEED connector is seamless. Switching works very well between the two. My personal experience the Bluetooth connection had a slight delay. LIGHTSPEED is the way to go for the best response time (they say 1ms). The battery life has been incredible. This is also true with the RGB going the entire time. You can customize the G keys. However, I have not tried that feature out yet. I give this 4.5 stars (rounding up to 5 as I cannot pick 4.5). The customization of the RGB could be a little simpler in my opinion. But I am sure many of you will love the flexibility and invest the time to make it perfect for you.

Q: QuestionIs it possible to connect multiple devices to a single LIGHTSPEED USB receiver? If so, can you only connect LIGHTSPEED branded Logitech devices to it? (I'd like to connect my Logitech G602 mouse to it.)
Asked by Cameron.
- A:Answer No you can’t connect more than one device in the USB receiver that it came with, but to save more USB slots on your computer/PC I suggest buying a USB docking station. It is an extra payment but worth it to save up some slots.
