Really nice content dude! Few smol things tho! 1. The battery of this keyboard lasts approx 1100 ish hours if you don't have the RGB on (fair comparison with the apple one which has no RGB). 2. Include a typing-sound "test" in the video. Many people (including me) like to see/hear those.
Hello Sir. Thank you very much, you replied to the only question I had left about this keyboard: you can use it while charging, no one was talking about it. Great feedback/review by the way.
I just got this keyboard over a week ago. Truely an amazing keyboard so far. It is great looking and incredibly thin. I got the clicky version, it is not loud at all. The click sound provides a great feedback and is pretty satisfying. Typing feels so easy on this keyboard. And it doesn't have issue like a lot of other RGB keyboard -- light leaking out from the gap of the keys. I also find the volume wheel very useful. So far, a great purchase.
Yeah it's an extremely satisfying keyboard to use. The volume wheel is too good. One of my favourite features. I'm glad you mentioned the light leaking as I was looking at another RGB keyboard recently and it just looked odd but I couldn't put my finger on it but it was definitely this. Having no light leak just makes it a cleaner keyboard like they haven't just whacked RGB lights under the keys.
@@mpenntech368 I just got this as well.. I have owned some hyper-expensive mechanicals and this is by far my favorite of them. its the most comfortable to use and I am typing significantly faster. I know people cry about MicroUSB and the fact the keys are ABS but honestly I dont care. I can move this between my work and home PC workstations easily and effortlessly.
That sweet LogitechRGB feature comes at a really high price. It is not that you cannot put PBT caps on it, you cannot put any caps on it. Not even the older ones from Romer-G meanwhile the only reason they do that is for LED passthrough, and LEDs are not worth all that mess as they will burn out over time and them ABS caps will fade or break knowing Logitech, at that price, I am not trying to buy a temporary keyboard that looks like trash in a few years with electrical tape caps to replace a super-thin ABS cap that broke, and they look so easy to break when pulled off.
@@krisreddish3066 LEDs don't burn out lol. But this keyboard is trash. It does have lots of problems. After 1.5-2 years of use I started to get doubles and triple keypresses when I press just once. Logitech said this is unique problem but offered replacement immeditely. So they aware of this huge problem and they are just lying. Did I mentioned that g-hub software is complete garbage? This was last product from logitech for me. Low quality stuff for premium price, and worst tech support ever.
@@vladasss Mine is sitting on a closet now, perhaps one day I will fix it. I have some soldering skill and it is just a keyboard. Fixed a few older ones, soldered a few boards. Just taking the corsair beast apart means desolder everything right off the go. May as well put better stuff in its place. But the IQUE makes me want to say "nope". I lost several LEDS over the course of a few years, and by burn out, ya they can. The specific weak point is the bonding wires. The LED will die if the bonding wires break, and they are so tiny, it is only a matter of time.
Mate, you should have a bigger channel, such a great review, great layout and great edition. Also your voice doesnt alter my nerves like most of the reviewers haha Thanks +1 sub
This is the review that convinced me to buy myself a G915 TKL, since I'm looking for a keyboard that can seamlessly cover both gaming and productivity. Nice job!
Nice and concise review! And the only one so far to mention you can only pair one Bluetooth device...shocking! Especially because the MX keys can be paired with 3 devices. I’m thinking to get the new white version: there’s so little choices for a white wireless low profile mechanical keyboard
Agree. I got a G915 White Tactile. I use it mostly for typing and it is simply perfect for me, low profile mechanical with short travel - lovely! Been using a lot of TKL mech keyboards: Novatouch TKL w/Topre, several Cherry MX Brown equipped TKL and MS SideWinder TKL w/detacable NumPad. Sidewinder comes close to G915 but not as precise. Argh - G915 is also very expensive but I guess I have to buy one more so I can use it both at work and at home - that's how nice it is!
Great review. Thanks. Also finally a keyboard reviewer who isn't like... "I'm not a very fast typist at only nine ka-billion wpm." Also nice family portraits in the background. Your pet droids are so cute.
I’ve been watching reviews for 6+ days now about keyboard and hands down this is the best full depth comprehensive review I’ve watched so far. Thank you, I just subbed. I just order mine with GL Clicky.
I just bought the tactile g915 tkl because i want to quickly switch between my stationary pc and my Ubuntu laptop. Fun fact my micro b cable was not braided. I especially like the call application with arguments function which is awesome. Nice review :-)
Excellent review! 👍👍 I'm 2 years late to this keyboard. I've just purchased a G815 (tactile, full size) today to replace my G710+. I mainly will use it for work so a lot of video editing & typing. Can't wait for it to arrive, to see how the GL tactile compares to the G710's MX Brown switches. Also how typing on a low profile mech keyboard will feel. Hope it will exceed my expectations 🤞
Hey! I have seen a lot of people complain about the keycap instability on this keyboard. Some people have also complained about the keycap legs breaking. Have the keycaps impacted your experience in a negative way? What do you suggest? By the way, I really appreciate you speaking from the developer's perspective. I am a programmer myself and most reviewers are just talking about gaming, gaming, and gaming all the time. :)
Cheers for the comment. Glad you liked the video. Personally I haven't had any issues with the key caps. Been using it for a few months now every week day and no problems. You should check what warranty length you get in your region as I would expect that to be covered.
@@mpenntech368 Thank you for your reply! Would you suggest this keyboard over a classic mechanical keyboard like the DROP CTRL? Both of them come in at around 200 dollars, but the CTRL has PBT keycaps.
@@tarunpaparaju5382 I think even they are a bit overpriced. Just when you test them, have a listen to the stabilizers. You can get a few others that function the same. Not saying this would be the keyboard but for example, outside the metal bottom case and the slide LEDS, the GMMK is the same as them, The base for the alt is 200$, the base for the GMMK is 64$ I think. To be fair with the same exact main features of both you can find a few on Amazon and tons on like Alibaba even cheaper. Same features, different aesthetics but basically the same keyboard, with the same software controls that folks use for DIY builds. The CTRL and ALT are smexy but is that aesthetics worth the price to you?
mine had a fucked up led and was bent just out of the box. It would tap the desk when when I typed, just one millimeter but it was enough to make me send it back
I just ordered this, and I am also going to be using it for programming. I have considered going for the full size for the G keys, figured it would be nice to put loops, if statements etc into macros. But I think I will stick to my TKL and maybe macro some loops to a few F keys
What is with the RUclips algorythms today - I have found yet another great channel with less then thousand subs. When I saw "232" I couldn't believe, I thought it was 232k...
Got a G910, but looking to upgrade to G915 TKL. Already got GPW and Powerplay, so it'll sync up nicely. Just need to figuere if I want tactile or clicky.
Am I seriously watching a tech reviewer who considers the Apple Magic keyboard to be the "gold standart of keyboards". That shit ain't even a real keyboard at this point. Glad you switched
I switched to the G915 TKL tactile last week and prefer it over the Surface keyboard. The Surface keyboard is slightly more comfortable but not having the numpad saves space on my desk. I have the same 2 gripes about it. For something this expensive it would have been nice to have several Bluetooth profiles and USB C.
Why you didn't mentioned keys wobbling and horrible quality of keycaps? The keys are poor abs, even not pbt. For the price, that should be just perfect.
I bought a Apple magic keyboard and hated it. Felt like typing on a table. Typos left right and centre. Sold it a few days later on eBay. Only thing about this keyboard that’s turns me off is it’s price, way too expensive.
Upgraded to this keyboard from the G613. Purchased in 2016 and only replaced the batteries once in that time. Going to miss that but that board was just too big.
Where you able to remap the arrow keys? after years of using the magic keyboard having to move the hand away from the typing position feels inefficient.
the reason why logitech used micro usb y becosue the say it was necesary for baterry preformance overtime is on an oficial video from them, the secured the baterry charge by using micro usb let wattage on charge better battery life thats why look for it
No. It feels more like a mechanical keyboard. It doesn't share any traits really with the scissor switch other than that they both feel nice to work to me
Usb type c requires different internals and would probably take up more space. You never use this thing wired so the only benefit would be faster charging and charging compatibility convenience. Seeing how they assume you’re going to charge this thing like only once every 2 months, they probably left out usb type c to cut costs of an already expensive keyboard. But I usually charge over night anyways, so the charging speed isn’t really a huge deal. If I had to charge it often it would bother me, but to keep costs down for something I charge once every 1-2 months, I don’t mind
Bullshit. Razer is selling keyboard with same size and almost same design for same price right now with proper switches, leds, keycaps, volume knob and USB-C. And this logitech keyboard has just too many problems.
are apple keyboards really that great to be considered a gold standard?...I dont own any apple products besides a 2011 macbook air, but I've never seen apple keyboards on any "highly recommended" lists. Anyway, great and clean review!!
Also, I think the reason for micro-usb is just since usb-c is more complex, maybe it had to do with keeping the keeb as slim as possible..I would say it's still not justifiable though
I'm using a K835 TKL, also logitech. Entry level. But I'm thinking on upgrading to this one, although, I still don't know if I want to go with the one thas has the number pad.
I didn’t realise that as a left handed person my experience about keyboard is completely different ; I don’t use the number pad AT ALL, too far but the thing is that it doesn’t bother me because it’s at the opposite of my mouse. Second, that volume wheel would be really far for me and so I would barely use it. The thing is that I also use an apple keyboard and that’s the reason I’m looking for low profile to switch to mechanical but (and I’m mostly a gamer, I still type a lot though) I’m lost on the switches as the noise is something I hate an that I’m used to super small keys with apple. Someone can brighten my light ?
AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! MUST EAT THE KEYBOARD AHHHHHH!!!!!
3 года назад
Does exists something thin as the apple magic keyboard but TKL?? i can't find something similar but with an 80% layout instead of 100% or 60% :( this g915 TKL is thinner than others but 2cm height still seems to much to my wrist
@@tarunpaparaju5382 I decided to get the drop ctrl and reading reviews. The drop can change any caps like gmk and any switch's. The rgb looks better and better customisation with qmk. I don't care about the wireless now, makes no difference only a wireless mouse would be better because you move it on games and the keyboard is in 1 spot. Massdrop are giving away free keyset worth 45 which I missed out on but you can still get for a week only and gmk aviator cables look cool for the ctrl, look them up. That's why I choose the massdrop over lightspeed lol.
Looks like an amazing keyboard. Might even be worth the price. Except... the damn text on the numbers , with the shift characters BELOW the number. Why do companies do that? It's not as bad as side-by-side. And it's definitely not as bad as some keycaps having the special characters (on the right-side of the letters) upside down. WTH!
Not the best... not by a long shot... If one takes the keyboard and shakes it, there is way too much of rattling noise... so gaming wise, be ready to claim the warranty within first two years. No issue, Logi will send you a replacement no questions asked... but that fulfills your warranty... Not hot-swappable, no satisfaction in typing, and also not as comfortable as one would expect. I bought mine... returned it after 3 days. I was a Logitech Keyboard K740 user for the past 10 years, and that was my go to keyboard for anything... but gaming did wear off those main gaming keys (AWSD, left Shift, etc.) and once the keycaps were tooo wobbly I had to replace it. Membrane keyboard however is a thing of past for me... I opted getting a custom keyboard with brown switches which offered doing additional mods like sarbothane insulation that made my keyboard such an amazing keyboard to type on... I did loose about 10 WPM while I am adjusting to the new shape of the keyboard, but have to say - keep your money, do not get this TKL 915... If you want to stay with Logitech I would recommend getting Logitech MX Mechanical Mini... OR ... full size... those remain to be low profile and are much better build quality. If you are still looking for gaming, pass it... get a custom keyboard that allows switches and key caps to be replaced so you do not have to change you keyboard ummm well never lol ...
I love this one, very tempted to buy one. But they say the keycaps break and not easy to replace. Still tempted to get one, return my new KB and get this. I might break it during gaming :) I’m a developer too, and typing experience is very important to me that’s why i want a low profile
I'm still yet to have issues with it and I use it at least 7-8hrs a day 5-6 days a week. However, everyone's use and mileage may vary. I would double check the manufactures warranty before you buy it. I think here in the UK/EU it's 2 years...
MPenn Tech thanks for the input, very tempted to return the huntsman and get this. Which one do you have? Tactile? I think in the bestbuy here they only have tactile.. thinking of the up coming white color way too
MPenn Tech they only have the tactile unless i wait for a different one to be delivered. Thanks, I’m on the fence but i really want one (the cost of the new nvidia gpu is holding me back as well lol) was a well
@@eirikengevik9826 I would have liked to try browns switches. My previous keyboard had blue switches (so clickly) and it makes a lot of noise. I am a bit more used to red switches now but still make some mistakes. What annoys me is the lack of feedback when you press the key, browns are still silent but have some feedback. I loved clickly for this but they are very noisy, and I bought this keyboard to avoid annoyance with people arround me. So it all depends on what you need. If you type a lot, and are alone in your room, clickly might work the best for you!
Yeah it's a super popular keyboard. I managed to pick mine up directly from Logitech themselves on their website. Looks like they don't have any UK layouts in-stock right now but they have US ones...
Hence I am waiting for Revision 2 or a newer model with USB-C edit: Even better, Powerplay edition with a mat that covers for mice and keyboard to wirelessly charge all the time 🤤
You said your usual favorite keyboard was the Apple keyboard and I’m the same. I’d love to find a keyboard with a similar PC layout as the G915 TKL but a slim form factor like the Apple keyboard. (But keeping gamer-y features like NKRO. And wired functionality.) If you find something like that, I’d watch that review!
Can't believe all this excitement about a "new" keyboard that's just like an old keyboard except a bit smaller. It's not even very good plus you'll need to use it with that garbage G-Hub software.
ThewayICit i heard the software is a pain for some people which is unfortunate. But the keyboard itself i think is pretty good but with some issues. Like the keycaps i think is not that durable. To me, the main thing here is it being low profile and wireless. Wish it it more durable though, esp the keycaps are not easy to find
I've only used it briefly on my Mac and it seemed to work well. Did everything it advertised. Can't speak on the durability yet as I haven't had it too long but so far no issues. I understand it's not going to be to everyones taste though... personally I didn't think I would like it that much until I tried it myself.
MPenn Tech i tried the 815 (which is similar in looks and form factor), I’m assuming the keys and switch are similar and i think the typing exp is pretty solid,i like it a lot. I like it enough to pay for it, wish the keycaps are available to be purchased easily
1:30 There is no 16.8 million colors in this LED's. Don't repeat this marketing bs. I can't even make G logo white color without violet tint - i.imgur.com/3CtUiTK.png because this keyboard has some cheap low quality LEDs. Also if you make all keys white and dim them to really low brightness you will have pink tint on all of them. Really wish there were just 128 pure colors without this pinkish\bluish tints and marketing bullshit about millions of colors. Also, linear switches in this keyboard tend to break after 1-2 years of use. I have this keyboard and I have this problem with repeating keys right now where you for example press R key once and get three RRR instead. Pretty low quality product for premium price.
Wow. How in the hell do you not have subs yet? This is great. Polished, detailed and just overall well done man. Subbed.
Thanks! Means a lot :)
holy shit, I thought he was a 1mil+ sub youtuber until i read your comment... well done sir you get my sub as well.

"I don't play pc games much"
*has large gaming pc in the background*

RGB doesn´t mean gaming ;)

How does it sound while typing? Is it a "clacky" keyboard like the apple ones? Quiet? Old-school typewritery?

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.

Does it have the > < keys?
I'm using a K835 TKL, also logitech. Entry level.
But I'm thinking on upgrading to this one, although, I still don't know if I want to go with the one thas has the number pad.
I need a few red keycaps for my 915. Enter, Esc, Backspace, Shift. Any ideas where I can find GOOD ones? Thanks!
have you found any?
I didn’t realise that as a left handed person my experience about keyboard is completely different ; I don’t use the number pad AT ALL, too far but the thing is that it doesn’t bother me because it’s at the opposite of my mouse. Second, that volume wheel would be really far for me and so I would barely use it. The thing is that I also use an apple keyboard and that’s the reason I’m looking for low profile to switch to mechanical but (and I’m mostly a gamer, I still type a lot though) I’m lost on the switches as the noise is something I hate an that I’m used to super small keys with apple. Someone can brighten my light ?
How many flavors is it available in?.. 0:53 !
I wish the TKL still had the macro keys 😔
AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! MUST EAT THE KEYBOARD AHHHHHH!!!!!
Does exists something thin as the apple magic keyboard but TKL?? i can't find something similar but with an 80% layout instead of 100% or 60% :(
this g915 TKL is thinner than others but 2cm height still seems to much to my wrist
If 2cm is too much for your wrist then you should start training your wrist with a gripper and stretching
Hey man! Tienes un Macbook y tienes un PC Windows?
Both
should i get this or the massdrop ctrl whats better lol
I am also in the same dilemma because they are in the same price range. Marcus, can you shed some light on this? :)
@@tarunpaparaju5382 I decided to get the drop ctrl and reading reviews. The drop can change any caps like gmk and any switch's. The rgb looks better and better customisation with qmk. I don't care about the wireless now, makes no difference only a wireless mouse would be better because you move it on games and the keyboard is in 1 spot.
Massdrop are giving away free keyset worth 45 which I missed out on but you can still get for a week only and gmk aviator cables look cool for the ctrl, look them up. That's why I choose the massdrop over lightspeed lol.
Looks like an amazing keyboard. Might even be worth the price. Except... the damn text on the numbers , with the shift characters BELOW the number. Why do companies do that? It's not as bad as side-by-side. And it's definitely not as bad as some keycaps having the special characters (on the right-side of the letters) upside down. WTH!
Not the best... not by a long shot...
If one takes the keyboard and shakes it, there is way too much of rattling noise... so gaming wise, be ready to claim the warranty within first two years. No issue, Logi will send you a replacement no questions asked... but that fulfills your warranty...
Not hot-swappable, no satisfaction in typing, and also not as comfortable as one would expect. I bought mine... returned it after 3 days.
I was a Logitech Keyboard K740 user for the past 10 years, and that was my go to keyboard for anything... but gaming did wear off those main gaming keys (AWSD, left Shift, etc.) and once the keycaps were tooo wobbly I had to replace it. Membrane keyboard however is a thing of past for me... I opted getting a custom keyboard with brown switches which offered doing additional mods like sarbothane insulation that made my keyboard such an amazing keyboard to type on... I did loose about 10 WPM while I am adjusting to the new shape of the keyboard, but have to say - keep your money, do not get this TKL 915...
If you want to stay with Logitech I would recommend getting Logitech MX Mechanical Mini... OR ... full size... those remain to be low profile and are much better build quality. If you are still looking for gaming, pass it... get a custom keyboard that allows switches and key caps to be replaced so you do not have to change you keyboard ummm well never lol ...
I love this one, very tempted to buy one. But they say the keycaps break and not easy to replace. Still tempted to get one, return my new KB and get this. I might break it during gaming :)
I’m a developer too, and typing experience is very important to me that’s why i want a low profile
I'm still yet to have issues with it and I use it at least 7-8hrs a day 5-6 days a week. However, everyone's use and mileage may vary. I would double check the manufactures warranty before you buy it. I think here in the UK/EU it's 2 years...
MPenn Tech thanks for the input, very tempted to return the huntsman and get this. Which one do you have? Tactile? I think in the bestbuy here they only have tactile.. thinking of the up coming white color way too
I have the Clicky which is also the same one reviewed in the video.
MPenn Tech they only have the tactile unless i wait for a different one to be delivered. Thanks, I’m on the fence but i really want one (the cost of the new nvidia gpu is holding me back as well lol) was a well
Ha yeah I would go GPU. I'm definitely pre-ordering as soon as it becomes available!
Subscribed for more
More on the way, just filmed the latest video. Sorry for the delay! Stay tuned :)
the best keyboard logitech MK700 3yr battery, low profil key and soundless
Tactile or Clicky ?
I have it the tactile brown switches and they’re amazing
What Happened to your Hair??!!
Since when is Apple keyboard a GOLD STANDARD ?!?!?! in keyboards? lmao
what kind of software developer you are with 55 wpm speed??
The kind who takes their time and writes quality code... I hope xD
My biggest mistake was to chose the red linear switches. Danmed, I midspelll alot on thessesd
Do you think Tactil or Clicky is better?
@@eirikengevik9826 I would have liked to try browns switches. My previous keyboard had blue switches (so clickly) and it makes a lot of noise. I am a bit more used to red switches now but still make some mistakes. What annoys me is the lack of feedback when you press the key, browns are still silent but have some feedback. I loved clickly for this but they are very noisy, and I bought this keyboard to avoid annoyance with people arround me.
So it all depends on what you need. If you type a lot, and are alone in your room, clickly might work the best for you!
Crappy ABS keycaps which will fade and peel very quickly.
And you can't get one for love nor money
Yeah it's a super popular keyboard. I managed to pick mine up directly from Logitech themselves on their website. Looks like they don't have any UK layouts in-stock right now but they have US ones...
I want usb c thou.
Hence I am waiting for Revision 2 or a newer model with USB-C
edit: Even better, Powerplay edition with a mat that covers for mice and keyboard to wirelessly charge all the time 🤤
Far from the “best” keyboard.
DUDE THE LOGITECH CAN LAST 5months without charge without rgb LOL
Too expensive
Definitely quite expensive. I'm looking to do another keyboard review at some point. What keyboard would you like to see a review of?
You said your usual favorite keyboard was the Apple keyboard and I’m the same. I’d love to find a keyboard with a similar PC layout as the G915 TKL but a slim form factor like the Apple keyboard. (But keeping gamer-y features like NKRO. And wired functionality.) If you find something like that, I’d watch that review!
@@mpenntech368 Can you review the Drop CTRL? :)
Can't believe all this excitement about a "new" keyboard that's just like an old keyboard except a bit smaller. It's not even very good plus you'll need to use it with that garbage G-Hub software.
ThewayICit i heard the software is a pain for some people which is unfortunate. But the keyboard itself i think is pretty good but with some issues.
Like the keycaps i think is not that durable. To me, the main thing here is it being low profile and wireless. Wish it it more durable though, esp the keycaps are not easy to find
I've only used it briefly on my Mac and it seemed to work well. Did everything it advertised. Can't speak on the durability yet as I haven't had it too long but so far no issues. I understand it's not going to be to everyones taste though... personally I didn't think I would like it that much until I tried it myself.
MPenn Tech i tried the 815 (which is similar in looks and form factor), I’m assuming the keys and switch are similar and i think the typing exp is pretty solid,i like it a lot. I like it enough to pay for it, wish the keycaps are available to be purchased easily
1:30 There is no 16.8 million colors in this LED's. Don't repeat this marketing bs.
I can't even make G logo white color without violet tint - i.imgur.com/3CtUiTK.png because this keyboard has some cheap low quality LEDs. Also if you make all keys white and dim them to really low brightness you will have pink tint on all of them.
Really wish there were just 128 pure colors without this pinkish\bluish tints and marketing bullshit about millions of colors.
Also, linear switches in this keyboard tend to break after 1-2 years of use. I have this keyboard and I have this problem with repeating keys right now where you for example press R key once and get three RRR instead.
Pretty low quality product for premium price.
