The media buttons/roller on the G915 is so useful though!
I still love it and don't see a reason to upgrade. But glad to see Logitech using better materials
This is the only reason I stay on g915. I need the volume nob
i wish they put volume wheel/rocker
they removed that and the media keys, yet sell the keyboard for more. doesnt make sense
@@varunaX How do they sell it for more?? G915 TKL initial price WAS €220... This right from the start is €149. You have multimedia keys in combination with FN button. I actually compare and mention all of this in the video.
Yeah, I understand. I was thrilled G915 TKL had it and then I never used. :D But I understand for others who actually do...
@@PCCrazyDario it is more like convenient thing to have dedicated button even cheaper price keyboard have those (i myself prefer wheel/knob for volume control) because i'm using G610 and regret it. i'm still gonna buy this keyboard because now days i prefer low profile one, for me G915 and G815 is stupidly overprice in my country.
Oh God no. Absolutely not. I HATE all those useless media keys. Really awful.
I never use the volume rocker anyway. So this is better for me.
Great review, thanks. This board might be the one for me. I have a few customs, including a Wooting 60HE, but I find myself prioritizing wireless more than anything else. I used a Fnatic Streak80 LP for awhile and this board looks to have similar switches. HE/Rapid Trigger is truly cool but not worth giving up wireless IMO.
Man, it's like you are reading my mind. I had STREAK65 and would have switched, but... WIRE! Agree 100%. Thanks for the comment!
true everything look good but the only draw back is the lack of media key
Additional observation: this keyboard is quieter in person than it seems on the video review. Although it does not sound atrocious in the review, the sound of the keys in person is noticeably more muted. It may be differences in desks or the reviewer may simply have a pro studio mic setup.
Excited for this... tried multiple low profile board to get my son to switch off his G915 TKL that hasn't had any legends and looks terrible since a few months after we go it. Great review!
Nahhh man, I was searching for something to change my G915 TKL and this just hits the spot. Thank you very much!
@@PCCrazyDario Exactly, I think this one will finally do the trick, ordered one this afternoon!
@@MarbsMusic I hope you/he likes it, because personally after G915 TKL, this is a really good keyboard. 😉 Wouldn’t be switching if it wasn’t. 😁
why would you want your son to change his keyboard? if he likes the keyboard that's his preference lol. G915 is a fantastic keyboard.
@@DEN8Y because it was falling apart. Some keys were broken, most characters worn off years ago, half the rgb had gone out. We got them on release years ago and I used one as well for over year and it was bad by that point. We definitely causing inefficiency especially when coding. We just going to order a new one when this came out which he likes even better. He didn’t care for the Nuphy, Lofree or Keychron low profile but happy with this and after 10 days of heavy use no shine in the caps, I think we made it a couple of days on our G915s.
Besides the problematic drop of volume rocker, I wonder how much of that customizations including RGB profiles can be stored into onboard memory and then forget about G-hub existence. I wish both Razer and Logitech dropped the act and offer full on QMK/VIA compatibility, but that's a different story.
Nice! I'm still in love with my G715 tho 💕💕
i actually like the ABS keycaps more. It made my caps smoother to press on.
Dedicated media keys would have been nice but for $140 from Logitech I was expecting a lot less.
Would have been cool, but some don't even use them like myself comparing it to my G915 TKL where I never used them, except eventually mute. You can always use FN + some of the keys to access them. Yeah, I as surprised Logitech + $/€140, which is honestly great.
You’ve moved up to 33.7K subscribers. Steady progress. 💪🏻
I guess slowly but surely going faster upwards… FINALLY! 😅
I prefer the g pro x tkl keyboard that was recently released but this looks really good
Yeah, definitely a cool keyboard. I personally go for low-profile, but tastes can't be discussed of course. ;)
Nice looking keyboard. But no rapid trigger and hot swappable switches.
try swop 515's keys with 915/815's.
You can't... Different stem...
Are symbols (letters, etc) visible without the lighting (during day)? On 915 TKL Black they are barely visible :/ Did that improve by any chance?
Nope, not visible that much... Just looking at it and from my angle, no visibility of the symbols.
is this keyboard completely flat or a little higher on the top like 1 degree? how is to compared to deathstalker v2? i wanted to buy deathstalker but ppl say its too sensitive and too ez for missclicks, what about this 1?
Both are game-ready, but DSV2 might have faster actuations (shorter actuation point & optical switches). DSV2 also has smoother keys, comparing its linear vs. the tactile version of the G515, which is scratchier. The G515, however, is appreciably more practical in productivity, typing, coding chores; a significant aspect where the G515 is definitely preferable. Although the DSV2 may be a great at gaming, those quick actuation points do get in the way in productivity (typing related) chores. As for angle, with feet (risers) tucked in, the G515 sits lower, the DSV2 is slightly taller & also has slightly more angle. With feet extended to intermediate level, the same is true. Fair to assume the same holds true at full extension. The only obvious aspect that the G515 can improve on is the scratchiness of its keys; even so, some won't even notice that they are relatively less fluid. But, again, for all practical usage apart from gaming, slightly scratchy is far more preferable to frequent unintentional key registers (mishits).
@@s-code-b Thanks for the answer, im still confused, i think i have to order both and return 1 xD
Asus Rog Falchio RX Low Profile or this keyboard ?
I'd go ROG, i've had enough of Logitech keyboards.
I tried both, definitely Falchion low profile. G515 is better than G915 but nowhere near Falchion. Only problem is that, there is no Falchion low profile in black color.
It sounds a little better than the g915, but it doesn't compare to a proper custom keyboard. I wish Logitech would make a custom keyboard because I'm also a fan of G Hub.
It does sound better than G915 TKL and of course you can't compare to a custom keyboard. There is no doubt about it. I don't think they will ever go down that route because they are more, so to say, mainstream. But I mention all of this in the video I think. :D
The Corsair K65 Plus Wireless (regular keys: not low profile) sounds & feels like a custom keyboard out of the box. It is also both Windows & Mac compatible. Corsair had been the most plastic-y of all the mainstream brands sold in local stores (e.g., Best Buy), but the K65 Plus Wireless has leapt over most (if not all) the brands/models found in such stores.
Try swop 515's keys to 915/815
Not the same stem on the switches.
Also no LINEAR switches option in the UK ??????? NOOOOO!!!!
Any plans to release 96% version of this keyboard ?
You are the man! Thanks
Thanks man!
@@PCCrazyDario 🤝
how long is the battery life without rgb as shown in the ghub? I'm sorry if missed it in your video.
36 hours only.
@@maxvanderland RGB OFF???
Have you tried scraping the "€" symbol on the 5 key to remove it? it looks extremely ugly and added on top as an afterthough.
i just wish they would take the g915 and replace the switches with these ones. that would be the perfect keyboard for me.
You could do that yourself just get this keyboard, take the switches out of both, and replace the switches with these ones :)
@Hannah7Banana
They are not hot-swappable I would need to solder all of them.
@@perimiter oh mb... how are they not hot swappable 💀💀💀
Is it possible to switch color profiles without using ghub software?
sound test?
Is there any full size keyboard version for G515?
So far I haven’t heard anything. To be honest, I didn’t know this was coming until they released a video on their socials.
no volume wheel... no, thanks... I have white g915 tkl with red switches and its great, I love how silent it is. The worst thing about this keyboard is no usb c and no key binding except for F1-F12
Would you recommend g915 or g515 for Fortnite ? Thank you
Never played that game, so I wouldn't know. Sorry.
Does it have multiple channels for different devices?
Never found linear version, also no reviews on linear version, ordered tactile its to loud for me
you better get nuphy air75 v2 or air96 v2, much better keyboard while being cheaper
@@Darth_Modred do you compare them with g515 ?
Is the top panel made of aluminum?
Nope, plastic. Around is AL.
does it have usb-c?
Yes it does
anyone tried the version with linear switches?
Can i use it wired without turning it on everytime i start my pc?
It is usable while wire-connected, with neither usb-dongle nor bluetooth connected.
Didn't quite get the difference between this one and G915
Usb-c
I really like this keyboard. Much better than Nuphy and Keychron. I'm just waiting for the wired version. I am not a fan of having batteries in my devices that WILL eventually bulge and could start a fire.
Not sure if wired version is in plans. As for the "bulge" and "start a fire", first time I heard someone is afraid of wireless peripherals doing that. I had wireless Logitech products since forever and not a single issue. Even on those that are just staying uncharged for a year.
Additionally, wireless peripherals REALLY help declutter the desk or work area.
Could I use this as a second keyboard (with a Corsair K95) just for macros and shortcuts? I have had G610 and G910 keyboards, both of which died. The K95 has been going long enough to wear the black off the E and A keys, but I would like more custom keys for Adobe apps. So does the G515 have the full functionality with G-Hub as I am used to with older Logitech gaming keyboards? BTW I am envisioning it on a shelf above and behind my main keyboard that I can slide under my centre monitor. Would this work for me? I think I am going to try it.
Goodbye Logitech 👋 !
Better than my Asus Tuff keyboard. Keys are all transparent with black mask to create letters. All lit up but when light is off cannot see letters at all. Impossible! Also, black is wearing off after just one year and not I see white blob instead of letter. Terrible, terrible laptop keyboard and crappy laptop altogether. I am going back to an HP Omen.
ah, another overpriced logitech ad? i see, i see
Dude this keyboard sucks compared to the G915!!! Horrible review what a waste of money!
@@nadred5396 How can ABS be better than PBT!? Just because of that and the lower price tag, this is a better keyboard… The only “negative” is the loss of multimedia keys and the wheel, which you still have with FN+ function buttons except the wheel…
G915 is already behind other custom keyboards half the price and this G515 is a downgrade lol.
replacable switches
