Logitech G915 vs SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL - which is snazzier?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- This is a video compare the Logitech G915 TKL (in two different versions) with the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL. This might not make much sense as the Logitech is wireless and SteelSeries is not, but they both have really awesome features that make them appealing. One is comfortable with superb low-slung keys, long battery life and convenient features, the other is incredibly customisable and a joy to use.

Great review, kind of makes me regret that I did not opt for the white colored Logitech G915 TKL. I purchased the black, because at the time I had read some comments about problems with the white keyboard (now I cannot recall what exactly was the problem). I knew about the darkened "symbol" keys (because no lights shine through them) prior to purchase, but they do seem to be a lot more difficult to see than I had expected. If you do not have any lights turned on and allow some natural light in, it can still be difficult to read the symbol keys. Like you said, it's not a terrible deal since people who are really familiar with keys on a keyboard do not need to look down to press them (most of the time). However, sometimes I DO look down if for whatever reason I'm not typing continuously or have my hands positioned properly on the keyboard. When I can't see the symbol I want, it can be a bit annoying. It's satisfactory enough for me to use while traveling or at a coffee shop, just so nice to have a wireless keyboard. I still depend on my old trusty wired Corsair K70 (red, non-RGB) keyboard at home.
Great video. Love the voiceover and the lite jazz in the back!

Literally just the comparison I really needed!

Nicely paced video, good info. Thx.

Thanks for the sub! Glad you liked it! Expect more of the same :)
I have the G915 clicky with numpad. And it's my best buy keyboard ever.
Yo link for the numbpad?
@@luisroman2144 i think he means fullsize g915 (it has numpad)
@@vibesimulation oh ok thx
Is it good for gaming
Great comparison, thank you
Thanks for watching
I have the plain Apex 7 TKL - with red switches, and it's truly lovely to type and game on. I had a Logitech G815 for a few months after they came out, which was also a joy to use - but I went back to the Apex 7 TKL as I missed the desk space from the TKL lol. THEN logitech put out the G915 TKL just to piss me off. I'm holding out for a G815 TKL...
Any ideas on when that G815 TKL may come around?
So if there was a G815 TKL you'd prefer it over the Apex 7 TKL?
@@juststeve6296 for the low profile keys, yes. I bought the G915 TKL since making my last comment and I couldn't be happier I returned that razer huntsman keyboard I had before
@@Chr15Payne fuck this is so hard. The 915 tkl was the first board I was going to get as I tried it at best buy. But then once I started researching I came across the Ducky, Durgod, GMMK, Drop Alt, Apex 7/Pro, Pok3r, etc and now I'm completely lost. I know I like the G915 because I could try it lol. Have you tried any other non gaming ones like the ones I've mentioned?
I really wish they would make a g815 tkl with linear switches
Nice video, LOVE the background music btw
Thank you. Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe 🦐
@@TheProvokedPrawn I actually did! 😀
i pulled the trigger on this board after waiting almost 2 years. Going from my Ducky one 2 mini to this is a leap. Only thing that was stopping me from going to the G915 tkl was the wireless compatibility. If the Apex pro tkl had wireless compatibility then i would purchase in an instant. Another reason was the fact that you are limited in keycap customisation with Apex pro, since the rgb led light on the housing of the switches gets in the way and makes common keycaps stick down. But overall the Apex pro shatters the g915 in overall comparison. Very happy with the purchase, hopefully this can be used as a point for people deciding on a new keyboard.
After almost a year, does the Apex Pro still function just fine? I’ve seen customer reviews saying that they broke within months of usage.
@@firellio070 thanks man
Is it still the best tkl game keyboard??
I wonder which one is more ergonomic? I am testing them both (Apex Pro and G915 Linear) at the moment and I am hell confused which one to keep!
I love the light of the Apex Pro, and also how the key press and release feels. Nevertheless, I get a werid feeling in my wrists and fingers are after typing for some time.
On the other hand, I dont like the light or feeling of the keys on the G915, but it just feels okay-ish to me.
Is there any chance I would get used to the Apex Pro, say after couple weeks of use? Does anybody have a similar experience?
I use the keyboard for typing, no gaming at all.
Thanks in advance for any answers :)
Low profile keyboards such as the 915 are meant to be more ergonomic than these high profile keyboards. The pains sound like early stages of carpel tunnel, I could be wrong. You could try the tactile version of the g915, as linear switches are meant for gaming in general.
For typing you should have probably gone for g915 clicky, tactile if noise is a problem. But having auditory feedback is beneficial if you aren't looking at the screen when typing so you don't have to second guess whether or not a keystroke registered. Linear are really for gaming where you aren't pressing many keys and are usually holding them down, so the priority is on light and speedy actuation. For typing however that can result in a lot of accidental keypresses from bumping neighboring keys. Also because there is no tactile bump you have to bottom out the key to feel it register which can slow you down.
If you do a lot of gaming I think linears are worth the tradeoff, but if you are just typing there is really no point imo.
Got useful information from the comparison, thank you
Pleasure. Hope you enjoyed enough to subscribe 🦐🦐🍤
Provoked Prawn do you recommend Apex pro tkl or Roccat 122 AIMO? I already own a G915 tkl, at the moment of purchase the only option was the black one :$
You don't like the 915?
@@TheProvokedPrawn some insanitists like to collect keyboards because God knows why
@@KG_BM I love keyboards, I develop and also do the pc gaming.
@@TheProvokedPrawn Yeah it's very nice, just looking a board with more travel distance :D
@@DanielOlmedo1 the Vulcan 122 is quite similar to the G915 so if you're looking for something different get the Apex Pro
As a black g915 til owner, any tkl that allows you to see the keycap lettering without the lights on, wins in my book. Wish I could turn off the lights and let this thing live forever on a charge
@Geometry D you also cant see shit if you do so technically you cant sadly
Can you compare the k100 Corsair keyboard with the G915 tkl or the apex pro tkl
That's actually on my to do list but not sure when I'll have time
The K100 felt like trash at Best Buy. Like seriously. I use to want a nice Corsair keyboard but after trying that one it just turned me off. It felt NOTHING like the G915. The G915 GX Clicky felt absolutely amazing! I can't speak for other boards, like the Apex and I'm currently researching to buy my new board as well. I'm looking at the Durgod Venus, Ducky One 2, Apex 7 and G915. It's so hard to decide its not even funny!
Which one of the two would you reccommend on a whole, im looking to buy one of these two beasts! Great video btw
Logitech is my fave
I have the apex pro tkl, literally the best keyboard ive ever tried, super fast actuation, and buttery smooth switches, and a nice and strong aircraft grade aluminium plate, ive tried a few keebs before and i would say the switches on the apex pro are near the smoothness of unlubed gateron black inks
been a lifelong SS user, but wanted to try the Logitech G915 KB and G502X plus mouse setup and for me the best choice Ive ever made, absolutely love it and much preferred over SS (which I didnt think id ever say)
I'd been using the mini blackwidow v3 for quite some time, then decided to try a tkl keyboard and chose the g915 with the brown tactile switches, I was a big fan of the low profile look at first. However I can't game properly on it, I don't know what that is, but my fingers act dumb when they interact with the keyboard, plus why the heck did they decide to go with micro USB? I'm conflicted, I don't know whether to return it or keep it in hopes of getting used to itm
Tbh I think that's always the case when switching from. A long term keyboard use. Imagine changing keyboards as often as I do. It's weird but you get used to it. There's nothing wrong with the keyboard though. You just need to adapt to it probably.
which one is the faster one and if one of them is faster is it noticeable?
apex pro tkl is the fastest
nice jazz music on the background
Bought both in full size versions. Logitech’s lighting is amazing in the white version especially. But the tactile version felt like a cheap keyboard to me. The keys also wobbled and rattled when picked up. Reminded me of my £20 Bluetooth iPad keyboard I bought on Amazon. The steelseries feels amazing in comparison, the switches are buttery smooth and the adjustable actuation point is insane. Linear Logitech switches are out of stock everywhere here so it might’ve been a different story if I compared that version to the SS. But you know, I’ve found my keyboard. And I’ve been through a lot.
Which one is the best in your opinion? I’m decided to get one of them.
@@MrDuylongdang the steel series apex pro with the buttery smooth switches. You won’t be disappointed. If you decide to go for it lemme know how it feels! By the way the apex pro was so good I bought the TKL version after using the full sized one. I love it that much as I never usually buy the same keyboard twice.
@@PaneledPluto4 wait one quick question. Why did you buy the tkl version while you already had the full size? It’s better?
@@MrDuylongdang basically my setup is very limited for space and at the time in the UK the full sized version was the only one in stock. And then one day Amazon had the TKL version so I bought it right away as I’d prefer to have more space on my desk and I returned my full sized one. If you have loads of space and prefer having the number pad then get the full sized one if both versions are in stock for you. But if you prefer the smaller form factor of a TKL version then get that one :)
The TKL version sold out in less than 15 mins too in the UK btw so hopefully you’ll have the choice of getting whichever one you want
Typing this on my G915 TKL... so that's my choice. The keyboard led to me going for Logitech for peripherals: G502 Lightspeed and G Pro Wireless X headset. Loving the simplicity, quality and looks. Doesn't scream gamer too much and I like that.
Loving my G915 TKL. Would've preferred USB-C wire/dongle, but it's otherwise the best wireless mechanical kb on the market right now.
Same, have the G915 TKL and the G502 Lightspeed. It's really nice not having any cables on my desk, and they're great. I charge them maybe 30 minutes a week and use them constantly.
Just ordered one of these 2 days ago. I was going to get a G815 but then Amazon dropped the price on the G915 TKL to $179 so I basically had to go with it. I"ve been using logitech peripherals for over a decade and have always had a great experience with them. From back when I used to use the original Logitech G5 mouse and G15 gaming keyboard with that flip up screen on it. Can't wait to try it out. I'm in the process of building a completely new high-end gaming PC and basically going for a all black and blue color scheme. I think this keyboard will fit in perfectly. Currently using a G502 mouse as well. I do wish it also was using USB-C, but other than that, it seems like a fantastic keyboard.
@@e2rqey You'll love it, it's extremely well made. It's my favorite keyboard I've owned, and I've been using PC's since the 80's.
@@e2rqey I’m also in gathering parts to build a high end pc and have purchased this keyboard along with the same mouse and pad. I’m very excited 😜
1:25 the heck does rgb really eat that much power?
Thing I don’t like about the Logitech keyboard, you have to get the Logitech usb wire to update the firmware. Tempted to update to the steelseries.
Dropped a Sub! Worth it!
Thank you.
Yay I got a reply. That's going to give u a like on the vid. I love how you explained both keyboards and showed them so nicely. Your setup is awesome btw!
Please help meeee, I'm still trying to decide either g915 tkl or apex pro. I love to game and I want somthing that's cofortable to type on. I want to use the keyborad for school and for gaming, I really like how both look, the one thing that keeps getting me to come back to the g915 is the wireless functioon, i have a g pro wirleless and was thinking if my keyborad should be wirless a well. Both or $179 on amazon rn, i currently have a redragon keyboard whitch really sucks. Plz help, thank you!!
I'd go for the G915 myself. Very comfortable and great to both game and work on. Plus it looks awesome and is great.
@@TheProvokedPrawn Yes, thank you so much. It will look really clean too
@@TheProvokedPrawn and that's the tactile g915 vs the linear apex pro?
Im using the G915 Linear as a gamer and its the best KB ive ever used and thats coming from a lifelong SS user.
why is your enter key like that on the g915
UK layout
The music from vrchat, Old memories
Too bad the G915 lacks the ability to add macro and key bindings to any key other than G keys in Ghub. You have to use third party soft for that.
should i buy the white g915 or the black one ?
ruclips.net/video/OMakGggDDRs/видео.html
vs Ducky Miya Pro perhaps?
I'm yet to see any Ducky boards sadly :(
hmm, kinda don't get the comparison between wired and wireless kbs, but ok.
You can get a wireless version too. I just didn't have it at the time.
@@TheProvokedPrawn oh cool thanks, looks good. Not as sexy looking as G915 or Deathstalker V2 Pro, but already seems like much of powerhouse. Do you know if the wireless version is hotswappable and what is the battery life with different RGB intensity? Also, is it possible to run customized RGB per key stored onboard without the need of running the sw in the background - which is something Razer totally wrecked.
135 days or hours?
Days
@@TheProvokedPrawn wow that's long
@@bananajotaro9283 yeah it is with lighting off though and it's not 24 hours a day (as they're saying no one would use it all day). Check the description.
I think the apex is too bulky, while the logitech is smooth and low profile
Logistics rule...
This isn't even a contest. Apex pro tkl. But at the end of the day it's personal preference.
I don't like Apex Pro. I think that they ask too much money for it. It costs just like any Varmilo keyboard. But it has ABS laser etched keycaps which won't last long. Its stabilizers do their job quite poorly. Floating key design makes the keyboard produce even more echoing noise. And optical switches are just pointless, you can't even replace them with something else if you want to!
I also don't think that Omnipoint is actually useful. You're getting bottlenecked by USB polling rate which is 1000 Hz (or 1ms). That adds up to monitor latency, network ping, e.t.c.
As for G915, however, I can say that it's good, but it's also kinda overpriced. There's a Kailh's keyboard manufacturer, HexGears. They made a HexGears X1 keyboard with the same switches. And it costs a bit less.
1) Floating key? What?
2) Stabilisers are quite good tbh. Maybe the space bar could be slightly better but better than most other keyboards in the category.
3) They’re standard unit sized key caps so you can replace it. Not ideal but at least doable and customisable.
4) they not optical. They magnetic hall switches.
That in itself could be 5-6 different points in and of itself. It has pretty much all benefit and no disadvantage and honestly the requirements for production are what makes it rare. It’s pretty much superior to any leaf spring switch.
5) it’s value it’s entirely up to you or any other purchaser. You wouldn’t buy a luxury car if you didn’t need one. Or a better analogy, buy the toolkit that has the tools you need.
@@11202 do you think is comparable to the Ducky One 2? I'm back and forth between the Apex TKL, Ducky One 2 TKL and Durgod Venus. I can't decide but I've had a corsair and they're pretty garbage and I'm not sure if the Apex is like closer to the Ducky or closer to the Corsair..
@@juststeve6296 sorry I’m busy atm but give me tonight and I’ll answer!
@@juststeve6296 hey man getting back to you.
I think it depends a lot on the switch type you’re going to get.
The Ducky One 2 is a pretty good board and arguably a nicer looking one.
Durgod are build very nicely and also pretty good looking and I’d personally go for it over the ducky.
The Apex Pro is my favourite board and I’ve been using it since release despite trying others. It depends however if the feature set is worth the cost to you. Omnipoint switches are smoooooth like the smoothest switches available since they’re magnetic and thus don’t require contact points.
This however is dependant on whether you want linear switches.
If you want clicky or tactile definitely consider one of the other two options.
The OLED is a gimmick however the volume rocker and its accompanying button are super useful.
Stabilisers are decent and beware the cord is super thick but it does give you a FULL USB 3.0 speed port that you can plug anything into even an SSD.
If you have any more queries just reply man and I’ll try to answer any questions you have.
@@11202 have you tried the G915 linear?
Too much BASS on the video.
Logitech g915 is better ?
I think so. Yes
Oh, God no!! Eight seconds and I am already getting asleep, I must be accustomed to the American yelling and screaming type "reviews".
