Wooting foam came with the module, wasn't a fan. Check out my latest video where I tried 2 different types of foam/insulation.

This came from typeractive, it had minimal assembly compared to some of the other kits out there. Didn't even have to solder, since I bought no solder headers. If you want a fully assembled kit, you can get those from various sites, I always like to refer people to xcmkb.com/ They build my Sofle split keyboard. I have it as another video on my channel.

Sorry for the delay, on my default layer the keys next to layer keys on the left are plus and equals, holding on for plus and tapping for equals, on the right it's tap for hyphen, hold for underscore. Hope this helps!

Look into ZMK studio, they just released and I hear you don't have to flash like you do this way. Immediately outdated my video 😂

@@heyitspete9890 Yes I saw it too, typeractive team is updating their repo to support it now ;) But the video is still helpful for the layout tips

I got it from Divinikey, they sourced it from KBDFans.

Last I checked best buy still had them in stock, I think I even saw this this week. Hopefully you have a best buy near you!

I don't think most have a snap in, MX switches don't have that either they just sit in and are tight enough to be held in place when inserted.

@@heyitspete9890 Hmm, interesting, the more you know. Thx for the info and getting back. :D

Uh... I did...the chapter is named charging cable/connection.

@@heyitspete9890 you are right. i apologize

@@misael4096 No worries! I know it's a long video, appreciate you watching!

There's no mention of it so I assume it isn't.

Probably not, but after reading I think it has the exact same issues as the Logitech, and more too. The switches aren't hotswap and the keycaps are entirely proprietary, you can't swam them out with any MX keycap. Also sacrifice the media keys and volume roller for a touchbar, I feel like the touchbar wouldnt be as intuitive to use as the roller. If you could only pick between the two, I would choose the 915. Or save some money and go with the logitech 515. I think even the polling rate on the falchion was worse than Logitechs.

@@heyitspete9890Which Switch Are the Best

I hear ya, personally I don't use macros on regular keyboards all that much, mostly on my ergo split boards where I can make any key or layer specifically for macros.

Improvements are usually an upgrade be it from Amazon complaints to feedback submissions.

...no... Not any more ....

Whas there anything in specific that you felt I missed or got wrong? Someone mentioned key mapping and macros, I skipped over them but did mention the customizability through Ghub.

I love it, I'd like to experiment with more tenting solutions but I'm at the point prefer tented over nontented when using my corne.

I also thought it looked slightly darker than the original model, others online seem to agree as well.

How much do you want to spend and what do you find important to you? Gaming, wireless connectivity, sound, feel, material build?

@heyitspete9890 200 is my cap. Id prefer wired. tactility, sound, and comfort for gaming and occasional work r my main concerns

@@brobob52 been using g915 for almost 5 years , love this kb how it works, but had issue like for a month where one of my switch stopped working, since its not hot swappble had to open the whole chassy, desoter the key and took one of my g key as dono key resotered it , now it works fine , but I am thinking to change keyboard too, Id fo ROG azoth extream but 500 is too much how good the quality is. I have been using Logi from 2016 they are not bad brand but something they do are not great , like making keys not swappble, and hard to find the same switches or key caps. This time if I wanna get something new, I want to have controll on my prepherials rather than 4-5 key dies I have to throw it in the trash than trying to fixing it or modding it XD , I have been looking on ROG claymore or maybe wooting.

@@brobob52 I do love their mice reason I eve got g915 in 2020 , top of their line back then ngl quality is still good , got over 6 mice form them too 2 headset yeti mic and Stream cam , but not sure for the next kb

I think it is an upgrade in sound alone. I have the Apex 7 TKL aswell and it sounds so, SO bad, which is because of the switches. The board also do not have any media control except that stupid button and roller on the top right. All around a terrible keyboard and I think an upgrade is worth it, you don't have to get the lightspeed version of the G915X

I just did my old one today, man almost 30 screws and the desoldering for me was night mare ( never doen before) used it for almost 5 years now I think I will get new KB , but no more logitech, like you pay 260euro for a KB and its almost anti consumer ,, I do love g915 for the silence and tlk things but never more.

Fair enough, I think I mentioned the customizability options using G-Hub but didn't go further into it. From my end I don't see too much value in remapping 60% boards and above, though the macros could be helpful.

@@heyitspete9890in Germany i Have to Decide between g515 100€ and g915 x 220€ , What would You pick?

Looking into this now.

@@heyitspete9890 would You pick g515 or g915 x?

Is the G515 you're looking at wired or wireless? In the US the wired one is $100 and the wireless is $140, meanwhile the 915x wireless is $199. Honestly comparing both, I would probably save some money and go with the 515 wired to save some money or wireless if you prefer that. The main difference I'm seeing is the 515 is an all-plastic build where the 915x has the top aluminum (But to be honest that aluminum plate is such like a half measure, I would prefer an all-aluminum construction, or just keep it all plastic) I think the overall profile is also slimmer. Also missing are the media keys and volume roller found in the 915x model. If neither the build material or the media keys are that important to you I would go with 515.The 515 uses the same switches and keycaps as the 915x, has USB C, and retains all the customizability through key control. The 515 has the same problems that I mentioned in my video as the 915x, but at the price point you can be much more forgiving.

I just watched a video on the Razer, I can't say I ever had those issues with the G915, with or without Ghub being installed on my computer, that's crazy, and such a high price too. Initially when I read your comment, I thought you meant it was slow to wake the computer itself up, but from the video I just watched it looked like if they keyboard itself just goes idle and into a sleep mode, that's when you experience this delay/slow wake up, is that right? I wish I could give you a better recommendation, but the G915 is the only low profile gaming keyboard I've used, all my other gaming boards have been full size switches so I can't give you recommendations on boards I haven't tried myself. If I were to get a low-profile board today, I'd probably get one of Lofree's boards, specifically because I already have a dedicated gaming keyboard (wooting). There is one keyboard I'm interested in looking into that I may purchase to try out, check out the Nuphy60 HE, sorry I couldn't give you an actual recommendation!

Asus Rog Azoth no imput lag or new G915 x. I actually have the full G915 (Gx brown) for almost 2 years+. Perfect for everything (work & gaming).

@ I know, did also look at the G915 X but the full-size is just to big for me, I mostly playing fps games and use the keyboard for one day work from home. And I am working on IT and never use the numpad so I am fine with a TKL. Did return my G915 X TKL today btw and did order the white version, because you don’t see the letters and symbols without backlight on the black one.

@@Rem0n89 Good to know. Did u pick the linear or tactil version? I would like to try the Gx red (G915 x TKL). That's sound perfect for gaming.

@ I had the Deathstalker 2 Pro TKL before with red linear switches, but I did miss some feeling when typing and using fps games. So I did go for the tactile this time, and I like the feeling and sound when typing and gaming.

In terms of typing feel, aside from the less wobbly keys they felt pretty much the same, if you didn't like the experience with the original you likely won't like it on the new either. They have the Logitech MX keys S that are similar to scissor switches, no? Probably not ideal for gaming but closer to that kind of experience. I have seen a site selling scissor switches in the past but not sure how available they are on the custom side of things.

@@heyitspete9890 I use it mainly for programming and need the full ins/del/etc. block, and TKL. This narrows down my choices drastically... I miss my DiNovo :'(

​@@okosakaroklenni Had to look it up since I've never heard of the DiNovo that's a funky looking keyboard! (That's a good thing hahaha) And ahh, I see yeah the mini is a 75% so it would be missing the nav cluster. Something to look into! I like the typing feel of scissor switches, I was using an Apple Magic Keyboard recently at work, I liked using it but missed my Corne.

Wow you weren't kidding, like I'm not finding anything that's not either 75% or 100%.

@@heyitspete9890 I feel old now :D In ints time it looked high-tech, and those keys. Still among the best with the lenovo ultranav (the non-chiclet version). I would literallly pay any amount for a g915 looking keyboard with keys like those. Btw have you tried the cherry mx ultra low profile? Building a custom kb with those might be my best bet.

In the time I've had it I've never experienced that issue, I let a buddy borrow it before getting it back for this video and they didn't have that problem either. There was a point where I swear my f row wasn't working but everything seems to be working fine now. No firmware updates available through G hub?

@@heyitspete9890 I should have mentioned the timeframe, I had mine for little over a year before the issue started which of course was after warranty. Others online mention same thing if you search G915 double typing. How long have you had yours? Some say it has something to do with the G roma keys…. No update available, I’m on the latest. Some mention it could be an easy firmware update but Logitech isn’t acknowledging the issue so no update for it from them.

@@Si1ence44 I have the double typing issue with both my G915 on a single uu key and my G604 gaming mouse in the left click.

I saw ads for grovemade, specifically for their felt mouse pads. Bought this one through Amazon instead, quite cheaper. I don't think I would buy it again, it frays and catches dog hair like crazy, looks really nice though. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C1BD33T9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@@PepRex How so? Are you referring to the polling rate/response time or the advantage of lower profile switches with reduced actuation?

look into nuphy air 60 he, the hall effect switches with the low profile keyboard seems perfect and it just lacks a tkl version instead of 60%

@@amirabasgamer9504 I actually just mentioned this one to someone else. I may end up picking one up to take a look and see how it compares to the wooting and the G915.

For sure, Did that with my latest upload, always trying something new. Thank you!

@@heyitspete9890 also speeding up the video while you were speaking was something I did not expect, I thought I sped up the video on youtube xD

@@iamzubin hahhaha sorry I was trying to get through some of the more tedious parts faster, while keeping normal speeds for parts I thought were more important. I also tend to listen/watch most videos at 1.25-1.5x speed, it may just make more sense in my head than in the video.

Speeding up the big music while the video was sped up was weird in my opinion too. re-recording or just editing what you spoke at normal speed over the speed up footage might’ve been nice, even though it might’ve been hard to match to the sped up video. Also as someone that will also occasionally watch videos sped up, trying to listen to the sped up section at 1.5x was basically impossible 😅 I appreciate you trying the have the tedious parts finish faster though!

@@kdiaz8054 it's pretty much what I had been wanting for a long time. I still think it's a bit too pricey, but I wouldn't go back. I'm looking into ordering a metal plate for the bottom to add some heft and better magnetic support for tenting so I'm all in.

@@heyitspete9890 Awesome. I have been thinking about picking it up. Would you mind sharing your bottom plate and magnetic support in a video once you get that set up? Maybe even your layout as I am gathering ideas for my next build. Thanks!

@@kdiaz8054 Sure thing, I'll look into the bottom plate and ordering it. Here's the link to it. More money obvi, but I think the added weight will be worth it. Not to mention, those magnetic rings I got keep falling off. I replaced the ones from the video with new ones and let them sit for hours before using the stands, looks like the adhesive wasn't strong enough vs the magnets. I trust this seller since I bought my SofleV2 from, been talking to them off and on since. xcmkb.com/products/martensitic-steel-plate?variant=45944816075011

Here are the mounts I purchased, they include the adhesive rings needed, so you won't need anything else unless you go with the steel plate i mentioned. This is the silver mount, I think it looks better than the black one and is a bit cheaper. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C22V8WSF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
