Ordered my G915 and then came across this video. Was initially very concerned about the issues you raised as I am using the keyboard for both my gaming computer and my work computer. Keyboard arrived yesterday. Tried it out and glad to see it had no problems connecting to both computers when i toggle between lightspeed (for gaming computer) and bluetooth (for work computer). switching between both setups was almost instant (took around 1 second, not long enough to pose any problems for my regular use case). Today is my second day of use and so far its working out really well. I agree the left control key and G5 button can be easily mispressed but as gamers we generally adapt quite quickly to new layouts so this wasnt a big issue for me. As I am in customer service, I usually will tell my customers I am logging their issues anyway so I don't foresee slight tapping noises to be an issue for them either - And the tactile noise level isnt that bad until it will drive people (over the phone) crazy haha (Its actually quite minimal and not too different from traditional membrane keyboards). And as expected from my G915 tactile, the keys dont repeat that quickly hence so far I haven encountered unintentional repeat key issues when typing long paragraphs of emails. The accuracy is very good. Linear, on the other hand, would have repeat mistyping issues hence I dont use linear for work. Tactile is the perfect balance for sound and accuracy. I used Blackwidow Elite (Tactile, wired) and Blackwidow elite tournament edition (Tactile, wired) prior to my upgrade to G915. The sensation when typing is distinctly different, but the G915 and both Blackwidows feel comfortable and are good to type on. If you have watched other reviews, you would also know that G915 keys are less stable and slightly wobbly - but when typing, you wont feel it at all and its not going to be a problem. I have yet to test it on games, but usually my typing requirements are more demanding than gaming requirements so its unlikely to be a problem for me (I play Mechwarrior Online, an FPS). One thing to note however is, the Ghub software does not allow you to bind individual keys. All keys, including the scroll wheel cannot be binded to anything except G1 through G5 across the 3 memory profiles. And it does not come with as huge a variety of preset key binding options you find in Razer Synapse - You have to program certain functions as macros yourself (Eg Win + Left / Right must be self programmed and binded to G1-G5) - Shouldn't be a problem if you know how to do these since these are fairly easy to do/self learn. These problems can be solved if Ghub gets the necessary patches - But currently Ghub doesn't feature these. So far no regrets and loving it for both work and pleasure. Thought I would post my feedback to reassure people this keyboard is actually quite nice to use and the connectivity issues isnt really thatttt horrible xD
After a few weeks of gaming, are you still happy with your purchase? I am currently in the process of building my first gaming PC and so far the keyboard choice is the hardest choice I have to make 😅 My only experience with keyboard is for work on a Logitech K360 and I don't know where to start as I don't really have any requirements..!
Tactile switches are in between linear and clicky. These are also known as brown, red and blue respectively. Clicky gives you both an audible feedback and a tactile bump, tactile only gives you a tactile bump and linear gives you no feedback whatsoever - they go straight down. Linear are the most silent of these three, but really, any mechanical keyboard will make more noise than a membrane keyboard as each key is a physical switch. Generally speaking, tactile or clicky are the best for typing, because of the feedback they give when the key is registered. People tend to make more typos with linear switches (again: due to a lack of feedback), but your mileage may vary. I should also mention that the actuation point for mechanical switches is somewhere halfway. You don't need to bottom them out. I'll probably still do that when I get the G815 (the wired version), but that's more of a personal problem :P . As for possible alternatives to the G915, you could perhaps look at the K840 Mechanical or the K845 Mechanical Illuminated from Logitech or more generally, at DAS Kayboard, Ducky or Leopold. Leopold in particular has some models with material that help dampen the sound of the keys. Edit: since I had written the comment, I have learned of keyboards that can switch between 3 devices. Keychron has keyboards that have that functionality via Bluetooth. The Logitech Pop Keys has that as well, either via BT or via their Bolt USB receiver.
Hey thank you for this comment & information - I've been going through a littany of these videos looking for genuine new information like this, on this keyboard. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Honest review. Neh I want you to lie 🤣 I have the G915 linear. Its silent, I use it for work and personal use. No one has complaint about the key noise. Tactile and clicky are noisy, mechanical or not. Specially if you type hard which most people at work do and I can hear them but I have compliments on my G915 linear being quiet. Ps why dont you reprogram the last far button as a control so if you hit with pinky you are good to go. I had the same issue but I've gotten used to it now
Tactile is a little bit louder than linear, I can confirm that, but it's not night and day and both switches are not very noisy. Clicky is a whole different story obviously.
very thorough analysis - thank you i agree with everything however, i would like to add that - the MX Keys have a 20% higher actuation force per key. This means that if you will be engaged in long marathons of typing - you will feel it.
I've had the G815 Clicky for a few days. While I love the way it feels, the most unforgivable design flaw is the inverted and unilluminated secondary characters. I never knew how much I relied on looking at those characters, or how much I actually used them in my everyday work. Even during the day when I have the lights on and I can see those characters, the fact that they're under the primaries instead of above them really throws me off. I have absolutely no need for a wireless keyboard on my workstation PC, but after watching your review, I'm really tempted to pick up an MX Keys.
MY EXACT ISSUE with these keyboards. Why in the world Logitech inverted them is beyond me. The issue really becomes apparent when using brackets/curly braces and underscore and dash, etc... When you are in dim light, you cannot even see the shifted characters. I bought the G915 (full keyboard) and returned the next day when I had typing problems the previous night trying to remember which numeric key had the ampersand on it. It does not illuminate in the dark, just the number 7. If you need this keyboard for strictly gaming, it is likely not an issue. But if you need it for any sort of productivity it is junk because the key caps are printed incorrectly.
Was there any mention, what switches you're using? At first I thought, you choose the clicky... then I thought it was the linear. In the end I thought it was the tactile... But then you said, you don't care about the feedback. So linear it is? As far as I know, the linear switches are most comparable to a standard mebrane keyboard, what feel of typing is about. I personally prefer some feedback on the keys, but I'm not too fuzzed about the clicking. Which one should I choose?
Excellent point about the FN keys being on the outside that’s going to drive me nuts. I was going to buy this KB but not now. My apple magic keyboard has a FN key on the left hand side where CTL should be - I can’t use it.
Wow what a great video.. yes I think lot of people have personal work machines that need a mix of connections with wireless devices.. seems the Mx keys handles this the best.. great review.. thank you!
I love my G915 TKL! I use it mainly for gaming and sometimes for work, although for work would have been better if i bought G915 because then having that numpad is timesaver. Nonetheless, I had 915TKL for over a year now and have no problems, great keys and looong battery life.
I had the 815 version (wired) and loved it so much that I bought the 915tkl wireless version to see how I would like a smaller keyboard and its great. You lose the number pad but I was able to buy a separate wireless number pad for the few occasions I actually need one.
I think the better investment here is to get a good noise cancelling headset instead of looking for mech keyboard that is totally silent. I have a Poly Voyager 4320 and no one hears a thing even when my daughter screems. And yes, I use mech keyboards (Razer Huntsman TE (Red Optical) and MX Mech Mini (Brown). 😅
Nice Review. I've also lot of Keyboards in my Shelf . One of the best i've ever used (Office) is the Cherry Cymotion Pro. It's wireless and have programmable Keys, and that is important for me, because on few keys i put passwords for easy use at daily use websides with login. But also i use the Keyboard in the evening at my Multimedia PC and so i'm looking for a Keyboard with backlight and decide to buy ...... the MX Keys..... or ??? G915 .... now i use the MX-Keys, but if the Keyboard go into sleepmode, it takes time to wake up and the programmed Keys are working not so well (first Keystroke the use the Factory Setting and after this they do wat you programmed). And from time to time the backlight auto-turn off dosent working properly (Backlight turn on and off every 20sec.).... but this is possible to fix, if you turn off and again turn on the keyboard must cover the daylightsensor for few seconds that is hide into the PowerLED. But, maybe i buy a G915 ....... tho only thing anoying me, is it good to read the letter on the keycaps if the backlight is turn of ? it seems the letter are not so readable like the letter on the MX-Keys. Maybe is better to buy the G915(TKL) in the white version.
I like your review. I also have an mx keys keyboard i am happy with. But things can always be better so i was looking at this keyboard also. But how does the typing itself feel and go? Fast and comfortable or are the keys toofar apart compared to mx?
One mistake, linear is not between clicky and tactile. Linear is the oposite of clicky and tactile is in the middle. It's like this: Clicky - you can feel and hear it Tactile - you can feel it (kinda) Linear - You can't feel nor hear anything on the actuation.
Hello, According to some comments, the keyboard tends to cut the brightness to preserve its battery! That is to say, if you don't use it for a few seconds, it cuts the brightness, which is very annoying for someone who does office work! Is there a way to manage this? or to cancel it via the G HUB software? is there a way to set it up? so that the light doesn't get cut?
I have that same bluetooth issue with my mac. Fortunately its a laptop so I can just use the built-in keyboard to log in first, but still pretty frustrating. It's probably a setting that needs changed to allow bluetooth devices before log in, but I don't think I can change those types of things on my work laptop.
Great detailed video; thank you. My question is on the feel of the keys on the 915. I have the MX but it is membrane which I would not use as a daily driver. I love mechanical keyboards and want to know more about the feel and durability of the 915. Thank you for commenting on the upward curve. That does look like a comfort design addition. What did you think of the solidity of the key feel and durability of the keys on the G915?
Barrier app is better using keyboard with multiple laptops. Its free and allows you to move your mouse over from one laptop to the next. Or pc to the other pc. tactile is in between linear and clicky switches. With tactile switches their is a responsive bump that you feel when you click, which makes a sound.. Linear switches are the quietest and fastest, since they don't have a tactile bump which makes sound. the sound causes kinetic energy from the press to be lost. So it means that more force is required to press the button. thats why linear is the fastest. So, they will feel more responsive, since they require less actuation force. At least if you are comparing linear, tactile and clicky of the same keyboard. Obviously, it's possible that a different brand might have linear switches that require more actuation force than one brands tactile switches. The clicky switches are the loudest.
Thank you for the great analysis! What's your mouse? DO you have any reommendations on keyboard an mouse for the most ergonomics? I am developing C. tunnel syndrome and am ok with spending a lot if it's truly great for my health. Thanks again!
The mouse is an logitech mx master 3, can recommend it too for productivity, the horizontal scrollwheel is soo ueseful, working with any Other mouse feels now so wrong and slow.. 😅
Super nice video - honest and thorough! ... and I'm watching it on my last day when I have the chance to return my G915 TKL... and I have very similar concerns. It is just that Logitech have got two completely separate product lines - one addresses gamers and one is for productivity. I want to have a low profile mechanical keyboard from a reputable brand. I do not have a single game installed on my PC and it's been like that for ages. So sad that Logitech do not offer mechanical keyboards for productivity :( That thing with the lightning vs bluetooth is also a gaming thingy - the lightning stands for Lightspeed which his Logitech’s wireless technology that’s much faster than bluetooth. This gives a fraction of a second faster response time which they say is important if you’re shooting with other guys in a game… whatever, for us productivity people it’s pointless. The idea is that it’s not meant to be used to facilitate easy device swapping i.e. unfortunately something else we don’t need but obviously have to pay for :) Btw, I didn't understand which one of the 3 types did you get? The so called "clicky" as far as I know is officially banned in some contries for use in office environment exactly due to the sound issues that you explained. Finally, just in case you ever regret for bringing it back, you could try the same keyboard but in TKL format - that is without the Numpad and also no G keys on the right side = Ctrl key is where it should be!!! 100% agree with you on that :) Thank you for the great review! It was fun to watch and it will help if ever Logitech make a mechanical version of MX keys :D
I can't really judge if they're great for productivity, but Logitech has two mechanical boards that are more aimed at office use: the K840 Mechanical and the K845 Mechanical Illuminated. Other brands you could look at that aren't necessarily aimed at gamers are DAS Keyboard, Ducky or Leopold. Some of Leopold's models actually have material to help dampen the sound. There might be others as well, but these are the brands I happen to know.
@@Root174 Thank you for replying! I'll certainly have those options in mind when I consider buying a keyboard again... maybe when going back to the office :)
You have mentioned all great points of what a good keyboard should be such as compact size for the main keys, noise, the fn key, crtl on the bottom left and seamless connectivity.
I agree with you. That is why I am using crappy keyboards like the k120 or k270. I feared the G keys might have been a problem initially. Then I discovered they don't sell the italian layout on the site and it is difficult to find. So. Sorry Logitech... 250$ and fighting muscle memory is not an option....
Great review and I agree with everything you said. I have MX keys and G915 with brown tactile switches, exact same setup as you :) Regarding the alt command keys, that is a super easy fix, using the Shortcuts just reverse these two keys and then exchange the key cups as well 😄 since the key cups are easily removable 🙂
Great comparison. That's why I have two keyboards, Filco MX brown and a logitech clicky. Works for me but you lose the minimalist look of having one keyboard for all. It's nice to switch but you are stuck with one keyboard functioning for everything.
Hi Seng! This review is on point! I am exploring a switch to a mechanical kb as my much loved Logitech MX keys died :( For me, the MX keys are the absolutely best in terms of typing experience. Did you feel that the G915 adequately replicated the typing experience of the MX keys? Also, which version of the G915 did you get? Clicky, Linear or Tactile?
G915 is more towards windows and usb dongle cause it's a gaming keyboard not a content creator keyboard... so that's why they don't work on bt enough just adding some features for the price
This is a gaming and programming keyboard not for general use. I did not find this review very useful for my case at least but you did make a lot of good points.
if u game u won't be siding with MX keys. I'm using Craft for work and gaming and it's really no good for gaming. This review is like comparing an apple to an orange both are round, but each one tastes different.
What is wrong with comparing two keyboards? Just because they use two different types of technologies. The MX keys is really good, even if it's not supposed to be. I feel like mechanical keyboards are a overhyped.
girl you only used it for a week come one use it for 1 month or 6 months review time i want too know the weaknesses and strengths of the keyboard. a week is not enough time for this keyboard you just got . problems don't happen with in 6 months or 1 month of having a product wow .
But I don't care about you or your background or where you come from or what you bought before the G915! All I care is about the G915. This is not a review about the keyboard. It is a review about you. Btw are you single?
I'm honestly shocked with all the people that thought a mechanical keyboard would be quiet. If noise was a concern I'm not when sure why you'd even consider mechanical keyboards as they're infamous for being loud as hell. Also confused why you bought this keyboard 🤣 it's very much antithetical to your typing preferences in almost every way. Maybe just stick with low profile membranes instead ?
I'm laughing because I'm thinking the same thing you are. I'm sure there are people like me thinking that a mechanical keyboard would allow me to type faster or have a better tactile experience. I would have to agree with you stcking to low profile membranes :)
@@sengnickersontech I think you mentioned in your review that you prefer full keyboards for the num pad but have you ever tried tkl low profile keyboards ? They have a smaller form factor. Generally the low profile keyboards have higher noise levels but they do make some mechanical keyboards with noise dampening keys or bases. They might be too gamery however. They also sell key tester kits that come with a sample of various keys. Typically TKLs don't have macros sadly.
@@sengnickersontech I can understand. I ended up buying both the G915 and the MX keys as they fit into my life in very different ways. It was too hard to choose.
If the macro keys on the G915 is getting in your way, you can go for the *G915 TKL* which does not have the macro keys on the left and the numberpad on the right, and hence much smaller. Also, linear switches are not at all good for typing; you should probably get the tactile version (clicky version would be very noisy). Personally I use the MX Master 3 mouse and the MX Keys keyboard. MX Keys is not a fun keyboard to type on but it gets the job done.
That's good to know about the linear switches. I just tried another keyboard (that goes on TOP of my Macbook). It had the tactile feel, but I'm still returning it. Still on the hunt for the perfect keyboard :)
@@boccato77 This is my personal opinion, so you may not agree. I find it more satisfying to type on mechanical keyboards with blue clicky switches. The clickity clack makes them fun to type
I have both the white tactile version and the black clicky version and they are amazing. I use it for work since I have to type all day charting and it has been great. I can type fast with it and I make way less mistakes compared to other keyboards. It’s also great for gaming and makes the experience even better. Overall, I really like using it to type and also to game. I think everyone should try it out, but buy it when it’s on sale :) The clicky sound is pretty satisfying! I love it…I am not sure if the sound bugs my coworkers but…no one has complained lol
I have a clicky one at home- is the tactile one the best pick for the office? I chart and run excel analytics all day and don’t want to piss off my boys
I use my keyboards in the same way you do....work (excel, business reports, MBA projects) by day, MMOs by night, and I am struggling to pick a new keyboard, so thank you for this review. I want the performance of a true mechanical gaming keyboard, but sometimes struggle with the size of most keyboards that are made for "man-hands". Size matters. I struggle to find the right mouse as well...but am about to try the Razer Mini in hopes that it will have a similar feel to my non-gaming, non-fancy, $12 Logitech mini mouse that I've used for years. Based on the connectivity issues alone, I think I'll go with the Razer Huntsman or similar. We'll see.
4:05 tells you why this is the wrong keyboard for you. I too have the Apple Magic Keyboard and I also have the (Tactical) G915 keyboard and I recently purchased the MX Keys. I work from home with my M1 MacMini and I also have a gaming/editing PC. If your sole purpose if productivity, I would recomment sticking with the MX Keys. They are quiet, the indentions on the keys help you identify and ensure your fingers are where they should be and has the keys backlit for late night work. My magic keyboard and MX keys are currently sitting in my drawer, and I decided to use the G915 as its a full-length keyboard and provides me an office feel. I do not normally type while I am speaking in meetings so unless I am speaking, I mute. which eliminates people hearing me type my notes in the meetings. Although I love the MX keys, I love the volume wheel, the media buttons and the G-buttons as they can be customized and the color scheme for my office and the fact that any key can be programed to be anything within the G hub software. as a side note, you would put that 2x4 at the bottom of the monitor arm clamp to free up some desk realstate.
Sorry the 915 didn't work out for you, you might like the TKL version of the 915, I just got it (I do like clicky) to replace my large K95 Plat. I use the MX keys on my editing machine but thinking of getting another one for that as well. Don't get me wrong I love the MX keys and I have spent a LOT of time on it the past 6 months which is why I'm trying to lower profile G915 TKL.
This entire review seems to be really personal. First you're using a windows gaming keyboard on a mac (the keyboard layout doesn't even feature any keys for a mac), I have a really old early 2000 HP keyboard that still works with Big Sur. So of course there's going to be a lot of compatibility issues in this demonstration. At the end of the video I was still puzzled as to why you will even consider such a keyboard in the first place. You really don't even seem to be the intended demographic for this. This review felt like looking at bike enthusiast actually reviewing a pick up truck.
I bought it too. Not for gaming but because it is rated as a good quality, general use mech keyboard. Within seconds of trying to use it I regretted buying it. Software install a pita and is required. Without software is like a Christmas tree. Stupid default ‘shop mode’. Had they thought about it they could have left default as sensible setting. Also, shift keys shift down rather than up if you follow which is confusing/annoying. Finally, big one for me is G keys down the left which get in the way of normal ‘blind’ use of Ctrl key on left. Did not occur to me until I used it. Is very well made though and as a piece of hardware is very good. If they did something similar without the fairy lights/gaming stuff I’d go for it. I have an unopened MX Keys but put off by laptop keys. Search might be continuing … : )
I didnt enjoy my MX keys. I returned it. I'm also returning my keychron k2v2. Your video saved me from buying the G915 as well. My quest for a great keyboard continues. Thank you for your video.
I also returned my mx keys and then the G915. I am now trying the keychron k2v2. But most of all I love the logitech illumined K740. Did you find your next keyboard?
Hallo Seng, I know this video is old but i want to recommend a new keyboard. Cherry just created a new switch called MX ULP, there are keyboards that uses it like Corsair K100 Air. I feel that its the type of mech keyboard that you will like
1- Linear is much much quieter than Tactile 2- Not all but most ppl prefer mechanical for Typing specially over Membering 3- if you cant understand the Quality of Logitech over that piece of plastic you compared it to thats end of the video for me
This product is my worst tech purchase in decades. Saw all the reviews, checked it in the store. Why its crap? 1. You can't see the secondary signs like the question mark, as they are not lit and in a dark grey color. How can you even design a keyboard like that? And it's not from some back alley Chinese shed. It's Logitech! 2. They keys don't feel mechanical at all. I got the brown keys. The keys feels cheap and mushy and not at all like a good mechanichal keyboard. I come from a Corsair top keyboard. 3. In use it's too wide as mentioned in the video. 4. The software ir rather confusing to use. I cannot believe that none of the youtube reviewers mentioned the huge disadvantages about the secondary keys and how the feel of using it is.
this keyboard is like you said for gaming so its not really going to be quite. if you want to have a mechanical keyboard thats also silent, i think you need the Cherry/Gateron Red Silent.
I just switched by magic keyboard go the G915. Can the Windows button on the G915 be swapped with the COMMAND button like on traditional mac keyboards?
I got the same HM Aeron, Sony headphones, and keyboard, hahah! People say this stuff is expensive but it's so cheap when you consider how much time you spend at your desk. I agree about the location of the macro keys being crap though I may actually drop down to the TKL version instead, though the lack of illuminated secondary functions seems really hard to forgive at the price. Not sure why it's so hard to find a quality wireless keyboard.
:) That's awesome. I know, my husband thought it was ridiculous I was spending that amount of money. Considering how much I am in that room now and the fact that I let him borrow my old Mx Master 2S, he won't admit it, but spending some $$$ for ergonomics is worth it. P.S. you have good taste :)
Yup its like comparing oranges and apples. G915 is the only ultra low wireless input lag keyboard with low profile mechanical keys. That's why it is at its price point. But totally valid points. 1. Not for mac users 2. Price won't justify if you are just gaming otherwise amazing keyboard.
Great review. I just got the MX keys after watching your review. So far it's a brilliant experience and can see my productivity improve. Quick question, do you turn off the power button on the MX keyboard overnight or do you leave it on?
Clearly, this is made for well heeled gamers, not for productivity. The Logitech G gives it away. I use the white TKL version for productivity as it's quiet (tactile) compared to my previous Logitech mechanical G613 but I'm under no illusion that I wouldn't be far more productive using an Apple Magic KB so I'll probably buy one of those next even though I'm a PC user. MX Keys I find far too expensive for a no frills rubber dome KB and I don't like the depressions in the middle of each key or the actuation force required, but everybody's different!
You definitely should compare a membrane keyboard to a mechanical keyboard. You're comparing them in your decision to use one of them as your daily driver. There are hundreds of other videos comparing the G915 to other mechanical keyboards. I've been using and loving the Logitech K740 for years. It's like the most perfect laptop keyboard you can imagine, and I find it brilliant to type on. It also has a white backlight. I tried the G915 and found it clunky, ugly, and generally disappointing. Now I'm waiting for my MX Mechanical, hoping it's something more than just the non-gamer-y G915.
If you're confusing the G5 key with CTRL, you can actually assign the CTRL key to G5 which should solve the issue.
This also does not solve the problem since CTRL+C becomes CTRL+X and CTRL+V becomes CTRL+C because of the spacing between keys.
Ordered my G915 and then came across this video. Was initially very concerned about the issues you raised as I am using the keyboard for both my gaming computer and my work computer.

Tried it out and glad to see it had no problems connecting to both computers when i toggle between lightspeed (for gaming computer) and bluetooth (for work computer). switching between both setups was almost instant (took around 1 second, not long enough to pose any problems for my regular use case).

And as expected from my G915 tactile, the keys dont repeat that quickly hence so far I haven encountered unintentional repeat key issues when typing long paragraphs of emails. The accuracy is very good. Linear, on the other hand, would have repeat mistyping issues hence I dont use linear for work. Tactile is the perfect balance for sound and accuracy.

One thing to note however is, the Ghub software does not allow you to bind individual keys. All keys, including the scroll wheel cannot be binded to anything except G1 through G5 across the 3 memory profiles. And it does not come with as huge a variety of preset key binding options you find in Razer Synapse - You have to program certain functions as macros yourself (Eg Win + Left / Right must be self programmed and binded to G1-G5) - Shouldn't be a problem if you know how to do these since these are fairly easy to do/self learn. These problems can be solved if Ghub gets the necessary patches - But currently Ghub doesn't feature these.
So far no regrets and loving it for both work and pleasure. Thought I would post my feedback to reassure people this keyboard is actually quite nice to use and the connectivity issues isnt really thatttt horrible xD
After a few weeks of gaming, are you still happy with your purchase?
I am currently in the process of building my first gaming PC and so far the keyboard choice is the hardest choice I have to make 😅 My only experience with keyboard is for work on a Logitech K360 and I don't know where to start as I don't really have any requirements..!
@@MiXiIaire I’ve been using one for a month now and it’s great! I have the TKL linear version and I have no regrets. Good luck on your search!
@@MiXiIaire the best keyboard off all time
Tactile switches are in between linear and clicky. These are also known as brown, red and blue respectively. Clicky gives you both an audible feedback and a tactile bump, tactile only gives you a tactile bump and linear gives you no feedback whatsoever - they go straight down. Linear are the most silent of these three, but really, any mechanical keyboard will make more noise than a membrane keyboard as each key is a physical switch. Generally speaking, tactile or clicky are the best for typing, because of the feedback they give when the key is registered. People tend to make more typos with linear switches (again: due to a lack of feedback), but your mileage may vary.
I should also mention that the actuation point for mechanical switches is somewhere halfway. You don't need to bottom them out. I'll probably still do that when I get the G815 (the wired version), but that's more of a personal problem :P .
As for possible alternatives to the G915, you could perhaps look at the K840 Mechanical or the K845 Mechanical Illuminated from Logitech or more generally, at DAS Kayboard, Ducky or Leopold. Leopold in particular has some models with material that help dampen the sound of the keys.
Edit: since I had written the comment, I have learned of keyboards that can switch between 3 devices. Keychron has keyboards that have that functionality via Bluetooth. The Logitech Pop Keys has that as well, either via BT or via their Bolt USB receiver.

@@Lucentlens Happy to be of help.
MX Keys is awesome, I collect tons of mechanical keyboards and this one got me hooked.
Honest review. Neh I want you to lie 🤣 I have the G915 linear. Its silent, I use it for work and personal use. No one has complaint about the key noise. Tactile and clicky are noisy, mechanical or not. Specially if you type hard which most people at work do and I can hear them but I have compliments on my G915 linear being quiet. Ps why dont you reprogram the last far button as a control so if you hit with pinky you are good to go. I had the same issue but I've gotten used to it now
Tactile is a little bit louder than linear, I can confirm that, but it's not night and day and both switches are not very noisy. Clicky is a whole different story obviously.
very thorough analysis - thank you
i agree with everything
however, i would like to add that - the MX Keys have a 20% higher actuation force per key. This means that if you will be engaged in long marathons of typing - you will feel it.
I love my Mx Keys. However, a few weeks after using it I feel my fingers are becoming fatigued. G915 seems to be a potential alternative.
It's the opposite for me. The g915 fatigues the hands of I do a lot of typing.
This is exactly the kind of comparison that I was looking for.
Also went from a mechanical to the MX Keys. It's simply faster and less tiring to type on for me. I still have my G Pro for gaming though.
I would really like a 75% version or TKL version of the mx keys....
it came out a couple days ago
@@user-vw6bk4pb4l I think it is closer to 75, because it has function keys, which 60 boards usually do not have.
I've had the G815 Clicky for a few days. While I love the way it feels, the most unforgivable design flaw is the inverted and unilluminated secondary characters. I never knew how much I relied on looking at those characters, or how much I actually used them in my everyday work. Even during the day when I have the lights on and I can see those characters, the fact that they're under the primaries instead of above them really throws me off. I have absolutely no need for a wireless keyboard on my workstation PC, but after watching your review, I'm really tempted to pick up an MX Keys.
I totally agree about the non illuminated secondary characters. There’s no excuse for that on a keyboard in this price range.
MY EXACT ISSUE with these keyboards. Why in the world Logitech inverted them is beyond me. The issue really becomes apparent when using brackets/curly braces and underscore and dash, etc... When you are in dim light, you cannot even see the shifted characters. I bought the G915 (full keyboard) and returned the next day when I had typing problems the previous night trying to remember which numeric key had the ampersand on it. It does not illuminate in the dark, just the number 7. If you need this keyboard for strictly gaming, it is likely not an issue. But if you need it for any sort of productivity it is junk because the key caps are printed incorrectly.
great review.. thanks for the bottom left button issue.. i agree
just got the mx and i am not happy ..... it needs actuation force more than anything i have .... can't type as fast as i could with my other keyboard.
Was there any mention, what switches you're using? At first I thought, you choose the clicky... then I thought it was the linear. In the end I thought it was the tactile... But then you said, you don't care about the feedback. So linear it is? As far as I know, the linear switches are most comparable to a standard mebrane keyboard, what feel of typing is about. I personally prefer some feedback on the keys, but I'm not too fuzzed about the clicking. Which one should I choose?
Mx keys is so amazing, definitely cover all MY needs
Is tactile or linear the best pick for the office? I have a clicky at home and I don’t think that would fly at work typing all day
Excellent point about the FN keys being on the outside that’s going to drive me nuts. I was going to buy this KB but not now. My apple magic keyboard has a FN key on the left hand side where CTL should be - I can’t use it.
Wow what a great video.. yes I think lot of people have personal work machines that need a mix of connections with wireless devices.. seems the Mx keys handles this the best.. great review.. thank you!
I love my G915 TKL! I use it mainly for gaming and sometimes for work, although for work would have been better if i bought G915 because then having that numpad is timesaver. Nonetheless, I had 915TKL for over a year now and have no problems, great keys and looong battery life.
I had the 815 version (wired) and loved it so much that I bought the 915tkl wireless version to see how I would like a smaller keyboard and its great. You lose the number pad but I was able to buy a separate wireless number pad for the few occasions I actually need one.
Mx keys is brilliant for device switching. Works flawlessly and add in logitech flow makes it amazing.
Great review, have you tried the MX Keys Mechanical since this video? Would love to see your take on that.
I think the better investment here is to get a good noise cancelling headset instead of looking for mech keyboard that is totally silent. I have a Poly Voyager 4320 and no one hears a thing even when my daughter screems. And yes, I use mech keyboards (Razer Huntsman TE (Red Optical) and MX Mech Mini (Brown). 😅
Very good video... Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
Beat honest review of this keyboard. Just saved me quite a bit of money. The G915 seems like a big waste of money
I think the dongle for mk keys doesnt work with 915 , the last one
uses a new one named bolt.
Nice Review. I've also lot of Keyboards in my Shelf . One of the best i've ever used (Office) is the Cherry Cymotion Pro. It's wireless and have programmable Keys, and that is important for me, because on few keys i put passwords for easy use at daily use websides with login. But also i use the Keyboard in the evening at my Multimedia PC and so i'm looking for a Keyboard with backlight and decide to buy ...... the MX Keys..... or ??? G915 .... now i use the MX-Keys, but if the Keyboard go into sleepmode, it takes time to wake up and the programmed Keys are working not so well (first Keystroke the use the Factory Setting and after this they do wat you programmed).
And from time to time the backlight auto-turn off dosent working properly (Backlight turn on and off every 20sec.).... but this is possible to fix, if you turn off and again turn on the keyboard must cover the daylightsensor for few seconds that is hide into the PowerLED.
But, maybe i buy a G915 ....... tho only thing anoying me, is it good to read the letter on the keycaps if the backlight is turn of ? it seems the letter are not so readable like the letter on the MX-Keys. Maybe is better to buy the G915(TKL) in the white version.
I like your review. I also have an mx keys keyboard i am happy with. But things can always be better so i was looking at this keyboard also. But how does the typing itself feel and go? Fast and comfortable or are the keys toofar apart compared to mx?
Linear = no bump & no click. Tactile = bump but no click. Clicky = bump and click. Tactile is the middle, not linears.
One mistake, linear is not between clicky and tactile. Linear is the oposite of clicky and tactile is in the middle. It's like this:
Clicky - you can feel and hear it
Tactile - you can feel it (kinda)
Linear - You can't feel nor hear anything on the actuation.
Hello,
According to some comments, the keyboard tends to cut the brightness to preserve its battery! That is to say, if you don't use it for a few seconds, it cuts the brightness, which is very annoying for someone who does office work! Is there a way to manage this? or to cancel it via the G HUB software? is there a way to set it up? so that the light doesn't get cut?
I have that same bluetooth issue with my mac. Fortunately its a laptop so I can just use the built-in keyboard to log in first, but still pretty frustrating. It's probably a setting that needs changed to allow bluetooth devices before log in, but I don't think I can change those types of things on my work laptop.
Great detailed video; thank you. My question is on the feel of the keys on the 915. I have the MX but it is membrane which I would not use as a daily driver. I love mechanical keyboards and want to know more about the feel and durability of the 915. Thank you for commenting on the upward curve. That does look like a comfort design addition. What did you think of the solidity of the key feel and durability of the keys on the G915?
It feels great and is very durable. I have the white tactile version and the black clicky version. Both are amazing. No complaints…
“Here’s my review of this keyboard that I don’t know how to use and and 10 minutes of user error”
Barrier app is better using keyboard with multiple laptops. Its free and allows you to move your mouse over from one laptop to the next. Or pc to the other pc.
tactile is in between linear and clicky switches. With tactile switches their is a responsive bump that you feel when you click, which makes a sound.. Linear switches are the quietest and fastest, since they don't have a tactile bump which makes sound. the sound causes kinetic energy from the press to be lost. So it means that more force is required to press the button. thats why linear is the fastest. So, they will feel more responsive, since they require less actuation force. At least if you are comparing linear, tactile and clicky of the same keyboard. Obviously, it's possible that a different brand might have linear switches that require more actuation force than one brands tactile switches. The clicky switches are the loudest.
Didn't u think about microsoft ergonomic/surface keyboards? Or Logitech ergo ?
Can magic keyboard or the MX keys be connected wired rather than wireless ?
Thank you for the great analysis! What's your mouse? DO you have any reommendations on keyboard an mouse for the most ergonomics? I am developing C. tunnel syndrome and am ok with spending a lot if it's truly great for my health. Thanks again!
The mouse is an logitech mx master 3, can recommend it too for productivity, the horizontal scrollwheel is soo ueseful, working with any Other mouse feels now so wrong and slow.. 😅
@@SirChickenMcNuggetTheThird thanks, have a good week
Nice Honest Review
Super nice video - honest and thorough! ... and I'm watching it on my last day when I have the chance to return my G915 TKL... and I have very similar concerns.
It is just that Logitech have got two completely separate product lines - one addresses gamers and one is for productivity. I want to have a low profile mechanical keyboard from a reputable brand. I do not have a single game installed on my PC and it's been like that for ages. So sad that Logitech do not offer mechanical keyboards for productivity :(
That thing with the lightning vs bluetooth is also a gaming thingy - the lightning stands for Lightspeed which his Logitech’s wireless technology that’s much faster than bluetooth. This gives a fraction of a second faster response time which they say is important if you’re shooting with other guys in a game… whatever, for us productivity people it’s pointless. The idea is that it’s not meant to be used to facilitate easy device swapping i.e. unfortunately something else we don’t need but obviously have to pay for :)
Btw, I didn't understand which one of the 3 types did you get? The so called "clicky" as far as I know is officially banned in some contries for use in office environment exactly due to the sound issues that you explained.
Finally, just in case you ever regret for bringing it back, you could try the same keyboard but in TKL format - that is without the Numpad and also no G keys on the right side = Ctrl key is where it should be!!! 100% agree with you on that :)
Thank you for the great review! It was fun to watch and it will help if ever Logitech make a mechanical version of MX keys :D
I can't really judge if they're great for productivity, but Logitech has two mechanical boards that are more aimed at office use: the K840 Mechanical and the K845 Mechanical Illuminated. Other brands you could look at that aren't necessarily aimed at gamers are DAS Keyboard, Ducky or Leopold. Some of Leopold's models actually have material to help dampen the sound. There might be others as well, but these are the brands I happen to know.
@@Root174 Thank you for replying! I'll certainly have those options in mind when I consider buying a keyboard again... maybe when going back to the office :)
i am still going to buy this keyboard but the 10 tkl keyboard version . of this keyboard .
You have mentioned all great points of what a good keyboard should be such as compact size for the main keys, noise, the fn key, crtl on the bottom left and seamless connectivity.
Why linear are linear they have no bump if anything the tactile is in the middle of linear and clickey.
Me watching this just after buying G915 5 minutes ago. lmao
I agree with you. That is why I am using crappy keyboards like the k120 or k270. I feared the G keys might have been a problem initially. Then I discovered they don't sell the italian layout on the site and it is difficult to find. So. Sorry Logitech... 250$ and fighting muscle memory is not an option....
You get used to the G keys in less than a week and they are actually super useful.
Great review and I agree with everything you said. I have MX keys and G915 with brown tactile switches, exact same setup as you :)
Regarding the alt command keys, that is a super easy fix, using the Shortcuts just reverse these two keys and then exchange the key cups as well 😄 since the key cups are easily removable 🙂
Great comparison. That's why I have two keyboards, Filco MX brown and a logitech clicky. Works for me but you lose the minimalist look of having one keyboard for all. It's nice to switch but you are stuck with one keyboard functioning for everything.
Hi Seng! This review is on point! I am exploring a switch to a mechanical kb as my much loved Logitech MX keys died :(
For me, the MX keys are the absolutely best in terms of typing experience. Did you feel that the G915 adequately replicated the typing experience of the MX keys?
Also, which version of the G915 did you get? Clicky, Linear or Tactile?
Use a hyperx cloud flight headphone. It compresses background noise.
Good features and software but Logitech should stick with MX switches and keycaps, their G switch/keycaps are just plain bad
G915 is more towards windows and usb dongle cause it's a gaming keyboard not a content creator keyboard... so that's why they don't work on bt enough just adding some features for the price
My white G913 TKL will be arriving in a week and I came here to make myself miserable.
I'm confused between that G913 TKL and MX ...
Its all great, but the g915 is an usb dongle Keyboard, Mine is instant connected to my PC with the usb receiver, it sucks at Bluetooth
If only the G915 was a tad bit cheaper.. it's perfect
The best Logitech MX Key review in youtube
This is a gaming and programming keyboard not for general use. I did not find this review very useful for my case at least but you did make a lot of good points.
if u game u won't be siding with MX keys. I'm using Craft for work and gaming and it's really no good for gaming. This review is like comparing an apple to an orange both are round, but each one tastes different.
This is when a VW driver make reviews of Ferrari
The G915 is better because it has the print screen key
What is wrong with comparing two keyboards?
Just because they use two different types of technologies.
The MX keys is really good, even if it's not supposed to be.
I feel like mechanical keyboards are a overhyped.
I had a comment saying it wasn’t an apples to apples comparison 🤷🏻♀️
girl you only used it for a week come one use it for 1 month or 6 months review time i want too know the weaknesses and strengths of the keyboard. a week is not enough time for this keyboard you just got . problems don't happen with in 6 months or 1 month of having a product wow .
Membrane pleb!
Spent over $1,000 on keyboards? Thank you for your sacrifice.
Some of them I returned!!!!!!
Video too long
}: but me likes it
what ever u do, DO NOT install the latest G hub software 2020.12. it makes your computer lag and messes up the 915 tkl. generally shitty software.
It took you 20 minutes to tell us 3 gripes..
But I don't care about you or your background or where you come from or what you bought before the G915! All I care is about the G915. This is not a review about the keyboard. It is a review about you. Btw are you single?
You"re not a gamer so you will never understand the G915 which is one of it's sole purpose for.
so you have no clue about mechanical keyboards and you r just trying one for the first time.
I have a clue or two ;) I just know what my own preferences are.
+1 because you are not a gamer
I'm honestly shocked with all the people that thought a mechanical keyboard would be quiet. If noise was a concern I'm not when sure why you'd even consider mechanical keyboards as they're infamous for being loud as hell.
Also confused why you bought this keyboard 🤣 it's very much antithetical to your typing preferences in almost every way. Maybe just stick with low profile membranes instead ?
I'm laughing because I'm thinking the same thing you are. I'm sure there are people like me thinking that a mechanical keyboard would allow me to type faster or have a better tactile experience. I would have to agree with you stcking to low profile membranes :)
@@sengnickersontech I think you mentioned in your review that you prefer full keyboards for the num pad but have you ever tried tkl low profile keyboards ? They have a smaller form factor. Generally the low profile keyboards have higher noise levels but they do make some mechanical keyboards with noise dampening keys or bases. They might be too gamery however. They also sell key tester kits that come with a sample of various keys. Typically TKLs don't have macros sadly.
You choose a gaming keyboard for office/productivity, that was your mistake. Nothing more to say.
agree ... i was hopeful.
@@sengnickersontech I can understand. I ended up buying both the G915 and the MX keys as they fit into my life in very different ways. It was too hard to choose.
This is honestly one of the best keyboard comparison reviews!
If the macro keys on the G915 is getting in your way, you can go for the *G915 TKL* which does not have the macro keys on the left and the numberpad on the right, and hence much smaller. Also, linear switches are not at all good for typing; you should probably get the tactile version (clicky version would be very noisy). Personally I use the MX Master 3 mouse and the MX Keys keyboard. MX Keys is not a fun keyboard to type on but it gets the job done.
That's good to know about the linear switches. I just tried another keyboard (that goes on TOP of my Macbook). It had the tactile feel, but I'm still returning it. Still on the hunt for the perfect keyboard :)
@@sengnickersontech You might find *keychron k3* interesting. They are taking pre-orders
May I ask why isn't the MX Keys a fun keyboard to type?
@@boccato77 This is my personal opinion, so you may not agree. I find it more satisfying to type on mechanical keyboards with blue clicky switches. The clickity clack makes them fun to type
@@thegripmaster666 So you have both MX and G915 ? And you feel G915 is more comfortable to type on ?
I have both the white tactile version and the black clicky version and they are amazing. I use it for work since I have to type all day charting and it has been great. I can type fast with it and I make way less mistakes compared to other keyboards. It’s also great for gaming and makes the experience even better. Overall, I really like using it to type and also to game. I think everyone should try it out, but buy it when it’s on sale :) The clicky sound is pretty satisfying! I love it…I am not sure if the sound bugs my coworkers but…no one has complained lol
I have a clicky one at home- is the tactile one the best pick for the office? I chart and run excel analytics all day and don’t want to piss off my boys
I use my keyboards in the same way you do....work (excel, business reports, MBA projects) by day, MMOs by night, and I am struggling to pick a new keyboard, so thank you for this review. I want the performance of a true mechanical gaming keyboard, but sometimes struggle with the size of most keyboards that are made for "man-hands". Size matters. I struggle to find the right mouse as well...but am about to try the Razer Mini in hopes that it will have a similar feel to my non-gaming, non-fancy, $12 Logitech mini mouse that I've used for years. Based on the connectivity issues alone, I think I'll go with the Razer Huntsman or similar. We'll see.
Best mice, Logitech master series. Have both desktop and laptop versions and love them.
"I'm not a gamer and wanted a keyboard that was quiet."
"So I got a gaming clicky keyboard and was unsatisfied with it."
yeah... brilliant.
I sweat thats what i thinkin like how you compare a keyboarr made for gaming to keyboards made for office work 🤣🤣
No, tactile is between linear and clicky. I have tactile, and I like it.
4:05 tells you why this is the wrong keyboard for you. I too have the Apple Magic Keyboard and I also have the (Tactical) G915 keyboard and I recently purchased the MX Keys. I work from home with my M1 MacMini and I also have a gaming/editing PC.
If your sole purpose if productivity, I would recomment sticking with the MX Keys. They are quiet, the indentions on the keys help you identify and ensure your fingers are where they should be and has the keys backlit for late night work. My magic keyboard and MX keys are currently sitting in my drawer, and I decided to use the G915 as its a full-length keyboard and provides me an office feel. I do not normally type while I am speaking in meetings so unless I am speaking, I mute. which eliminates people hearing me type my notes in the meetings.
Although I love the MX keys, I love the volume wheel, the media buttons and the G-buttons as they can be customized and the color scheme for my office and the fact that any key can be programed to be anything within the G hub software.
as a side note, you would put that 2x4 at the bottom of the monitor arm clamp to free up some desk realstate.
Sorry the 915 didn't work out for you, you might like the TKL version of the 915, I just got it (I do like clicky) to replace my large K95 Plat. I use the MX keys on my editing machine but thinking of getting another one for that as well. Don't get me wrong I love the MX keys and I have spent a LOT of time on it the past 6 months which is why I'm trying to lower profile G915 TKL.
This entire review seems to be really personal. First you're using a windows gaming keyboard on a mac (the keyboard layout doesn't even feature any keys for a mac), I have a really old early 2000 HP keyboard that still works with Big Sur. So of course there's going to be a lot of compatibility issues in this demonstration. At the end of the video I was still puzzled as to why you will even consider such a keyboard in the first place. You really don't even seem to be the intended demographic for this. This review felt like looking at bike enthusiast actually reviewing a pick up truck.
I was thinking the same thing, I mean at $250 I’m gonna make sure I know what I’m getting
I bought it too. Not for gaming but because it is rated as a good quality, general use mech keyboard. Within seconds of trying to use it I regretted buying it. Software install a pita and is required. Without software is like a Christmas tree. Stupid default ‘shop mode’. Had they thought about it they could have left default as sensible setting. Also, shift keys shift down rather than up if you follow which is confusing/annoying. Finally, big one for me is G keys down the left which get in the way of normal ‘blind’ use of Ctrl key on left. Did not occur to me until I used it.
Is very well made though and as a piece of hardware is very good. If they did something similar without the fairy lights/gaming stuff I’d go for it. I have an unopened MX Keys but put off by laptop keys. Search might be continuing …
: )
I didnt enjoy my MX keys. I returned it. I'm also returning my keychron k2v2. Your video saved me from buying the G915 as well. My quest for a great keyboard continues. Thank you for your video.
Why did you not like the keychron?
I also returned my mx keys and then the G915. I am now trying the keychron k2v2. But most of all I love the logitech illumined K740. Did you find your next keyboard?
I made a mistake and purchased the g915 for productivity because I do a lot of typing, but it fatigues my hands. I prefer the MX keys hands down.
Hallo Seng, I know this video is old but i want to recommend a new keyboard. Cherry just created a new switch called MX ULP, there are keyboards that uses it like Corsair K100 Air. I feel that its the type of mech keyboard that you will like
1- Linear is much much quieter than Tactile
2- Not all but most ppl prefer mechanical for Typing specially over Membering
3- if you cant understand the Quality of Logitech over that piece of plastic you compared it to thats end of the video for me
This product is my worst tech purchase in decades. Saw all the reviews, checked it in the store. Why its crap?
1. You can't see the secondary signs like the question mark, as they are not lit and in a dark grey color. How can you even design a keyboard like that? And it's not from some back alley Chinese shed. It's Logitech!
2. They keys don't feel mechanical at all. I got the brown keys. The keys feels cheap and mushy and not at all like a good mechanichal keyboard. I come from a Corsair top keyboard.
3. In use it's too wide as mentioned in the video.
4. The software ir rather confusing to use.
I cannot believe that none of the youtube reviewers mentioned the huge disadvantages about the secondary keys and how the feel of using it is.
this keyboard is like you said for gaming so its not really going to be quite. if you want to have a mechanical keyboard thats also silent, i think you need the Cherry/Gateron Red Silent.
I just switched by magic keyboard go the G915. Can the Windows button on the G915 be swapped with the COMMAND button like on traditional mac keyboards?
10:46 iirc, the caps are cylindrical. Mechanical switches allow for a wide variety of different key caps
If only mx keys was tkl...
Great review, you should consider teaching. Fluid speaker.
I got the same HM Aeron, Sony headphones, and keyboard, hahah! People say this stuff is expensive but it's so cheap when you consider how much time you spend at your desk. I agree about the location of the macro keys being crap though I may actually drop down to the TKL version instead, though the lack of illuminated secondary functions seems really hard to forgive at the price. Not sure why it's so hard to find a quality wireless keyboard.
:) That's awesome. I know, my husband thought it was ridiculous I was spending that amount of money. Considering how much I am in that room now and the fact that I let him borrow my old Mx Master 2S, he won't admit it, but spending some $$$ for ergonomics is worth it. P.S. you have good taste :)
I hate the G1-5 buttons, returning it because of it.
The G915 is a gaming lineup keyboard, MX keys is for productivity
At its price point, you'd expect the G915 to be just as functional for productivity regardless
@@mpxz999 I mean not really. It's legit branded for gaming. It's great for gaming. It does what it says it does.
Yup its like comparing oranges and apples. G915 is the only ultra low wireless input lag keyboard with low profile mechanical keys. That's why it is at its price point. But totally valid points. 1. Not for mac users 2. Price won't justify if you are just gaming otherwise amazing keyboard.
I currently use the MX keys and mannn if it had RGB it would be the perfect keyboard for me.
I know the MX Keys is like 95% perfect!! I’ll take it :)
You just need Cherry MX Silent Red Switches.
Ur funny
Great review. I just got the MX keys after watching your review. So far it's a brilliant experience and can see my productivity improve. Quick question, do you turn off the power button on the MX keyboard overnight or do you leave it on?
She turns it off. 12:08
Clearly, this is made for well heeled gamers, not for productivity. The Logitech G gives it away. I use the white TKL version for productivity as it's quiet (tactile) compared to my previous Logitech mechanical G613 but I'm under no illusion that I wouldn't be far more productive using an Apple Magic KB so I'll probably buy one of those next even though I'm a PC user. MX Keys I find far too expensive for a no frills rubber dome KB and I don't like the depressions in the middle of each key or the actuation force required, but everybody's different!
You definitely should compare a membrane keyboard to a mechanical keyboard. You're comparing them in your decision to use one of them as your daily driver. There are hundreds of other videos comparing the G915 to other mechanical keyboards.
I've been using and loving the Logitech K740 for years. It's like the most perfect laptop keyboard you can imagine, and I find it brilliant to type on. It also has a white backlight. I tried the G915 and found it clunky, ugly, and generally disappointing. Now I'm waiting for my MX Mechanical, hoping it's something more than just the non-gamer-y G915.
