Next-gen LIGHTSYNC RGB synchronizes lighting with on-screen gaming and entertainment content for a fully immersive experience. Not only do these keyboards perform better than the competition, they look better too. Additionally included is a USB cable that connects the USB 2.0 passthrough port to its own input for 100 percent power throughout.īoth the G915 LIGHTSPEED and G815 LIGHTSYNC were designed with low-profile GL Switches, which are half the height of standard mechanical key switches, providing 25 percent faster actuation and a more comfortable typing experience – so you can play faster and longer. The ultra-thin, wired G815 LIGHTSYNC offers the same great style and finish of the G915 LIGHTSPEED, with five dedicated, programmable G-keys, up to three on-board profiles and Logitech G’s LIGHTSYNC RGB technology, customizable through Logitech G HUB. We know that even one second of lag can mean the difference between being a champ or a chump, which is why with LIGHTSPEED, the G915 delivers up to 135 days of non-stop wireless gaming, when all the lights are turned off and with RGB colorwave enabled, gamers can play for over 12 days on a single charge The G915 LIGHTSPEED uses Logitech G’s industry-leading LIGHTSPEED wireless technology to deliver the fastest and most robust wireless experience on the market. Our engineering and design teams pushed the envelope of what’s possible to create these new keyboards – combining Logitech G’s advanced LIGHTSPEED wireless technology with our new high-performance, low-profile GL Switches in a sleek, ultra-thin, aluminum case that creates a new standard for gaming keyboards. That’s why we’re excited to announce two new gaming keyboards that offer a new dimension of gameplay – the LogitechⓇ G915 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard and the LogitechⓇ G815 LIGHTSYNC RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. And with so many on the market to choose from, Logitech G set out to create the undisputed best. If you really must cut the cord, however, then the Logitech G915 TKL is a sublime, if a little lofty, wireless gaming keyboard.A great keyboard is one of the most important pieces of equipment any gamer can own.
A few justifiable use cases spring to mind, but not many that will be shared by all. If that's the price of wireless, you're going to need good reason to buy in. And while I've not let that put me off before, there doesn't seem to have been a great deal done on Logitech's part to slim down the price tag-$20 for a significant reduction in keys, switches, and materials doesn't fill me with a great deal of confidence as to how pricey the original G915's part list was to begin with. This is an incredibly expensive keyboard. Which all goes to say that the G915 TKL excels in almost every way-if only it were a few bucks cheaper still than the full-size G915. That's to make way for the ¾ size volume wheel, which is functionality identical to the G915's, or pretty much any other premium gaming keyboard for that matter, so retains solid marks here.Īnd at $230 a pop, the G915 TKL certainly makes you think about what you really need The four dedicated media keys-play/pause, forward, backward, and volume mute-remain in place, they've merely been shifted over to the left. The media controls have also stayed put with the shift to tenkeyless, they've just been either moved or miniaturised. The low-profile design is amicable to whichever you fancy. You'll also find four feet on the underside of the keyboard, capable of 4° and 8° adjustments.
It's as practical as it is gorgeous, and ensures there's absolutely no flex through the G915 TKL's slim and compact case and plastic underbelly. The switches are mounted right onto a piece of 5052 aluminium alloy with a brushed finish. That's actually a 135-day battery life without lighting enabled, but who's counting? The 40 hour battery life with RGB per key lighting enabled (a little up from the full-size G915 due to the lack of RGB LEDs) keeps Logi's wireless tech in the good books, too. You really don't want to lose that tiny dongle, either, you'd never find it.Įven though you'll want to stick with Lightspeed for the most part, thus ensuring the most stable connection, wireless can also be delivered via Bluetooth, and is swiftly accessible at the press of a button. Potentially handy for a wireless device as small as the G915 TKL that might actually be carried between places often. While the USB receiver remains the same tiny device as ever, one of the few changes introduced with the TKL is a small USB storage slot on the underside, built to accommodate the dongle when not in use.
