good weight, sturdy build, and a reliable keyboard. allegedly the G915 light sync has a better response time, but i don’t notice the difference. the GL Clicky switch is also a deeply satisfying sound. trying to configure different light modes has proven challenging, and ineffective for some pre-made modes, but it’s probably a user error.

By far the best keyboard I’ve ever had. The response time is amazing and it’s extremely easy to type on. Not only that but the various modes for the keyboard lighting give you so much control and options. Its very decently priced for what it offers and I would highly recommend!!

Love it. Bought it because I wanted a better work keyboard. The feeling of it is amazing and the lighting is cool too, but honestly, typing on this keyboard is great.
LG Hub is great too, since you can manage the keyboard, mouse, webcam, and microphone on it. So having different profiles can make it fun, and help leverage for specific work or gaming reasons. It's pricey, but I would still highly recommend.

I prefer clicky after trying tactile for weeks. Clicky works for me as I mostly tape rather than play games. Besides I liked the sound of it. RGB lightning is great, software control works best and macro functions are so cool that you can almost program anything.

This is exactly the kind of keyboard I was looking for. Sturdy, customizable backlighting, mechanical, clicky.
The body of the keyboard is aluminum and it has a thin profile. The keys are low profile and sit up above the plane of the keyboard which is probably helpful when trying to clean out debris (food) from under the keys.
It also has programmable keys that you can use to record macros for games and this is tied to the Logitech G Hub app. I personally probably won't use this feature, but if it's something you are used to from other keyboards then you'll be right at home with this feature. In fact, this keyboard probably has a lot of features I won't use, but just having the quality construction is the selling point for me.
Now a small number of people won't be completely happy with this keyboard if they also hoped to see the secondary symbols on the keys also backlit. If you've been around keyboards a long time you likely wouldn't need this anyway, but there are other keyboards that do have secondary symbols backlit. Each key can be changed do a different color or you can use global color schemes and even have animated effects like rolling color changes throughout each key zone. I'm happy just to have a good backlit keyboard that I can easily change the brightness on so that it's not too distracting when I'm watch video content.
Again, great keyboard, loaded with features, really happy with my purchase.

The keyboard is absolutely wonderful. There’s a couple of pros most notably being the; tactility of the keys, feeling as well as positioning of the volume wheel, adjust height of the keyboard, response time, look and the RGB lights. There is however one con which is the instant drop off from the back end of the keyboard (the part right behind the space bar). It’s uncomfortable during extended periods of usage since it is a flat edge however I’m pretty sure there’s a couple rounded edge attachments that you can buy to fix this. Otherwise I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase this keyboard, it’s excellent!

This is definitely a buy, especially when its on sale!!!!
I previously had the Razer Huntsman Mini 60%. I was set on getting ONLY a 60% keyboard until i tried the G815 at Best Buy on display. I am willing to sacrifice some space on my desk for this keyboard because of how great it is! Logitech's clicky option is far more satisfying to use compared to Razer and other brands iv tried. This is by far the best keyboard i have tried. Its super responsive and really clicky, while not being obnoxiously loud.
What sold me on this keyboard were the low profile keys. Its very clicky with a very short throw, making it easier to type on. The RGB lights are also brighter than Razer's.

For the time that I been using it has been nothing but praises. The feel and quality of the switches/keys are satisfying.
The volume nob is a tube that slide up and down kinda weird to look at but easy to change your volume.
The app to switch led lights is easy to set up, most of it just preferences. The G-keys allow you set up keybinds (mute on discord, open apps, etc…).

Awsome keyboard with a great clicky sound, feel, and RGB. There is a downside in some slight key wobble. Keep in mind however that Logitech's proprietary software, G hub, is pretty buggy and may give you some issues ESPECIALLY if you delete it and reinstall it. Otherwise, the board itself is amazing.

Keyboard is a little pricy but worth every penny. I’m glad I chose to spend the extra money because I couldn’t be happier. The build quality and switches are second to none. It’s extremely responsive and there is no latency or delay with each key stroke. I’ve been using this keyboard everyday for about a month now and this is hands down, the best keyboard I’ve ever used. The clicky keys are awesome and I love the tactile feedback. The optional G HUB software is easy to use and loaded with custom RGB profiles. You can also download other custom profiles that other users created and uploaded. I use this keyboard for gaming but its also perfect for standard typing if you do a little bit of both.

This is a great keyboard. I’m not sure what the second USB connection cable is for. I love the feel and clickiness of the keyboard. The weight is wonderful so it stays put on my desk. Pricing was good on sale otherwise I recommend waiting for a sale (as the regular price is kind of high)

Your detailed feedback on the Logitech G815 LIGHTSYNC keyboard is much appreciated! It's fantastic to hear how much you enjoy its tactile feedback, the satisfying clickiness, and the robust weight that ensures stability on your desk. Regarding the second USB connection cable, that's actually a USB passthrough port, allowing you to connect another device directly to your keyboard for convenience, such as a mouse or a USB drive, without needing to reach for your computer's ports. We also value your honest thoughts on the pricing and your recommendation to consider sales; we strive to offer products that provide exceptional value and performance, and your insights are truly helpful.

Being so tired of traditional keyboards, I decided to give a mechanical keyboard a try. Never having bought one before, I wasn't sure where to start. Went to Best Buy and there were a small number of them to try out. The G815 was one of them. I knew right away this was the one. I love the low profile, slightly clicky key sound. Not obnoxiously loud. Notice less mistakes. I'm not a gamer. Just use it for routine home use and work from home use. Keyboard feels good, love the lighting. Logitech's hub isn't that great though. The low profile of the keyboard cuts down on wrist fatigue. Nice weight to it. It won't slide around like a light weight plastic keyboard. Really thinking about getting another for in office use.

I've wanted one of these keyboards for ages, and having finally gotten one I'm pretty satisfied. The RGB lighting is vivid, the feel of typing on it is fantastic, and the macro profiles and especially the assignable buttons on the far left of the keyboard are real standout features. The main drawback is that customization of the RGB requires the Logitech G Hub software to be installed *and* running. Would be nice if that could easily be saved to the device, but I can't seem to get that to work at all. Macros can be saved onto the

Thank you for your review of the Logitech G815! We appreciate your feedback on both the positive aspects and the areas for improvement. We understand your concern about the G HUB software dependency for RGB customization. While we strive to provide a seamless user experience, there are certain features that rely on software integration.

I decided to get this keyboard shortly after seeing it and trying it out at my local store. I loved the look and the way the keys felt to press.
This thing feels great to type on. I love that it has the slim, sleek look while still retaining the mechanical feel. I opted for the wired version to save a few bucks and not having to keep it charged. I usually don’t move my keyboard around anyway. The RGB settings for this keyboard seem nearly limitless, although the App required can be a little finicky and needs updates often. I also really like the media controls and volume wheel on the top right.
I highly recommend this keyboard!

Low profile keyboard with non-standard keycaps.

To begin, I should say that I am a Mac user. As a result, there are not many options for mechanical keyboards that work with a Mac, especially RGB keyboards that require Mac-compatible software to control the lighting. I am also a touch typist that uses the keyboard predominantly for work (not gaming). I really wanted the RGB, however, to add some "spark" to my workstation.
To begin, the typing experience on this keyboard is pretty good. I like the clicky keys, although they are a little "soft" for me. I kind of reminds me of typing on a laptop keyboard (although not quite as these keys do have more travel than a laptop keyboard). I like the click, but the key switches are not as robust as Cherry MX keys, in my opinion. The keys are not as "beefy" as I like. Still, they are not bad and the typing experience is still a lot better than membrane or "chicklet" keyboards.
Unfortunately, because these are low profile keys of Logitech's own design, they are not compatible with Cherry MX keycaps (which are easy to find). I have not been able to find any keycaps that can be used as replacements for this keyboard. Why is that an issue? Two-fold... As I mentioned, I am a Mac user and would really like to have Mac-centric keys on my keyboard. That includes the top function row as well as the bottom command, option, and other OS-specific keys. These keycaps are easy to take off and switch, which is what I did with the Windows OS key and the Alt keys. Unfortunately, though, the keyboard does not have a feature to twitch the functionality of those keys so that it can follow a more traditional Mac layout. (I had to accomplish that through third party software. Karabiner-Elements works very well for this.) The second issue is, for whatever reason, Logitech only makes the primary character transparent on the keycaps. This means that the special symbols (like !, @, #, $, %, etc.) cannot be seen in the dark with the backlighting. That is the same for the special characters on the right side of the keyboard as well. Luckily, I am a touch typist, so it is not a fatal flaw, but not being able to see ?, ", +, (, ), etc. in the dark seems inexcusable to me.
The G Hub software works okay with the Mac. As mentioned previously, it was a little frustrating that keys could not be reassigned (thus allowing me to have a fully Mac-compatible layout without using a third-party software solution). There are several options for color animation with the keyboard. I found out that the keyboard has onboard memory and, when that onboard memory is used, the G Hub software control is disabled (and vice versa). I am still a newbie with this keyboard, though, so time will tell if this is a big deal for me or not. The G1 through G5 keys are nice for storing macros or different functions, but good luck remembering what they all are once you program them. (The M1 through M3 buttons, when used, actually provides up to 15 programmable combinations for the G1 through G5 buttons.)
So, in brief, I would have to say it is a great low-profile keyboard. I was looking at a Corsair keyboard, but given the layout of their bottom OS command row, I would not have been able to switch the OS key with the Alt key like I did on the Logitech keyboard to give myself a Mac-like experience. If that was possible on the Corsair, I probably would have purchased that model instead. (The Corsair K100 would have worked, but I did not like the lack of switch options on that keyboard. I want something that is good for typing; gaming on this machine is not my priority.)
