    I've actually owned both keyboards and can say I prefer the k100 air. The type feeling of is fantastic, and I can comfortably use it swapping back and forth between my work laptop and personal computer with the quick bluetooth swap keys so I feel like that's worth mentioning. The 915 wasn't bad but I guess it depends on which caps your prefer really. The lack of choice on the k100 sucks, but the typing experience is phenomenal.

  • @ZirconiumDioxide
    @ZirconiumDioxide 2 года назад +4

    something id say about the K100's battery life is that when the RGB is on, it does last longer than the G915's battery, but you have to account for the fact that the K100's keyboard brightness is way lower than the G915's quick adjustable settings.

    I was really hoping the K100 Air had back-lit symbols on the keyboard. That is my biggest complaint regarding the G915. It’s a huge missed opportunity for Corsair not to address that shortcoming.

    Great reviews and comparisons! I’ve been waiting for Logitech to release a modern 915 w/ USB C so I can junk my k70 MK2.

It is quite obvious that the K100 Air definitely looks thinner and flatter as its keys are more low profile than the G915, although I dislike the cheap flat 'chicklet' style keys (the same reason I disliked the first Razer Deathstalker).

    Hello Prawn. These keyboards are useless. They have only the top part of the keys lit. This means that depending on the country and the key layout, the special characters or numbers (AZERTY) are not visible when the room is dark. I assure you that it is very difficult to write in these conditions. So why this king of keyboard if you cannot write normally or have to switch on the light ?
    As you might know, the SHIFT key (which is often represented by an upward arrow) allows you to type the top characters and not the other way around. These are totally useless illuminated keyboard imao. Hope it will help people to choose. There are many of them (ie G513 or K75) that have fully illuminated keys. Believe me, it's way better !

    I honestly hate the logitech one. I have it, but really dislike it unfortunately. The pointless "gamer" features (like the programmable G buttons) make this a horrible keyboard. Plus the RGB looks really cheap and dull. Really would advise against buying it tbh.
