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.

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’s been 3 years since it’s launch and a lot has changed to justify buying today. It’s rare sale price of $180 at BB is even too much still, but I’d pay full price for USB C and optical keys.
@@FollowingStorm0 Yes, I was excited when they announced the new Pro X, but of course no fullsize option. :( I finally bought an ASUS ROG Strix Scope II a few months ago and been incredibly happy with it. Had all the features I wanted in my OP and then some. Such as pre-lubed keys and sound dampening foam. Looks, feels, and sounds amazing.
Any chance you could do a small gaming session for sound more than typing? I am interested in if K100 gets more silent cause of the low activation on keys from gaming than typing.
@@TheBluSerpent the connector itself is pretty fragile, and if you're using it as the primary method of charging, the port can wear out rather quickly The wireless charging methods are far superior if you're willing to get the logi wireless mousepads
@@poodlemeister22314 wireless is always slower than cable though. I am also using the mouse with micro-usb port for over 3 years and still not a single complaint (I mainly use it with the micro-usb cable attached).
anyone who wonders about the price - they overpriced to start and a few people will buy. They will definitely lower the price in a while. Then people will see "big price reduction" and more people will buy because "on sale".
Enjoyed the last part though, it looked like either you were trying to make it asmr or u were enjoying the sounds aswell, either way very relaxing asmr
I prefer the G keys on the logitech because they are momre useful in wow when they are down the side. They are basicly useless on the k100 if you use them in wow.
Whilst the g915 full brightness only lasts 35 hours it is brighter than the k100 air. And on lower brightness and no lights at all it's batter lasts significantly longer, over 1000 hours at no lights.
The ISO layout Logitech ruled that they will only sale ISO in Europe. And they told me that even if I ship ANSI from USA they will not honor the warranty :/
As a programmer, didn't like k100 air that much. After a while I got feeling like I am banging my fingers of a table, so I will stay on g815/g915 for now 😁
Can someone tell me about the software? I really like iCue, but wanted to give g915 a shot since I need something wireless and with macro sidebar. Can you configure cudtom buttond for things like scroll lock on ghub?
Dose the g915 require a software download in order to use all rgb settings im looking for a nice keyboard for my ps5 but want to be able to use all rgb modes I have a razor black widow v3 but with the ps5 I’m stuck to only 1 rgb light setting
I returned the G915 due to RGB issues and hurting my wrists, and the keyboard I actually I picked was k100 (non air) haha, it's awesome in all ways, and im so happy I returned the Logitech.
I can't understand and find anything about the macro sistem of the k100. Can a macro be applied to a different key other than the 4"G key" on the right?
Yes - Corsair iCue allows you to re-assign any key on the keyboard to anything you want - a different key, a macro, a shortcut... You can, for example, remap your Q to your Z key.
I recently picked up a G915 for $100 plus a g502 mouse for $40. Love em both. But id love to try out the corsair keyboard to just compare the 2. So far havent seen it around on store displays tho
I wonder whos asshole corsair pulled the pricetag out of? Lmao they arent going to sell alot. Logitechs 915 at 250 is a bit much for a mass produced keyboard, though getting it when its on sale at 200 isnt too bad. Itll be interesting in seeing how the longevity is going to be on K100 air.
first thing i did when i saw this keyboard. that's a lot of money, and i already have a wired g815. think i'll be good still for a long while, provided this one holds up for me. personally, a big turn-off for the K100 air comes down to keycaps. i have four shedding pets AND a beard, the ability to be able to pop off my keycaps and clean them is a must.
@@diboxide i get that . If they had keycaps that were similar to the logitechs 915 and 815, it wouldnt be bad for cleaning. But the price is astronomical. Im excited to see how fast they lower it causr i dont see alot of people paying that much for a store bought keyboard. If youre paying that much, you might as well get a cheaper keyboard off amazon and customize it the way you want.
I have the G915 and the K100 non-Air. I would say the G915 looks better (to me at least) and has a more sleek and elegant look. 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).
After 7 months, the keyboard "Logitech G915" looks like the photo. The best keyboard I've ever used now looks like old, cheap plastic junk. And yes, the keys where the paint is off, also feel junk. No idea how that can happen at such a price. I finds really too bad.
It is, that's why the battery only lasts 35 hours vs 50 hours at full brightness despite it being much larger. With the backlight off it lasts 1150 hours vs 200 hours.

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 !
@@TheProvokedPrawn Certainly, but to play there is nothing more pleasant than a high profile. Otherwise it may break your fingers. I personally think that for logitech it's okay. But corsair, it's too expensive, hard to clean and I think it hurts your fingers after a few hours. Knowing that the keys do not have double actions because they are too low for that.
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.
