Logitech G915 X Lightspeed Low-Profile Wireless Gaming Keyboard, Double-Shot PBT Keycaps, Fully Programmable Keys, RGB Backlighting, Sleek Aluminum Finishing, GL Red Linear Switches – PC/Mac

Excellent wireless gaming keyboard w/RGB
I was looking for a wireless replacement for my Corsair K70 mk2. Looked at Red Dragon but the software is absolute garbage (won’t work at all). Looked at Logitech and saw the 915X. I already own a 502X lightspeed mouse, and very much enjoy using it, so figured maybe this 915X would be a good pair. And it is!The keyboard has a nice visual presentation. The chassis looks and feels premium, with a brushed sort of slightly off black look. The keys are a matte texture, with translucent plastic for the characters (it looks like the characters cannot rub off at all, which is great).The keys feel good. They are lower profile than the ones on my K70 mk2, which is great for me. My fingers were constantly tripping over the edges of keys on the K70, leading to a lot of typos. The lower profile keys coupled with smoother bevels on the edges make the keys on the 915X very nice to use.The linear switch has moderate travel and a moderate activation force. As a linear switch, there is zero tactile bump — it’s smooth all the way down to the bottom. I love this sort of switch as I feel like I have full control over the typing experience. But others might prefer something with a tactile bump, which this keyboard also comes with as an option.A couple of things that are annoying –1. Not really a fan of the macro buttons down the left side. I keep thinking the G1-G5 buttons are the leftmost buttons of the regular keyboard, so end up hitting those macro keys by accident if I’m not paying attention.2. Lighting control is a pain in the ass. It’s decently powerful, not nearly as functional Corsair’s. But usable. But the way you do animations is a huge pain. All animations basically are transitions from one configuration of lights to another. So things like twinkly effects or whatever basically need to be created with keyframes. In contrast, the Corsair software gives you options for animations which you can layer on top of each other for interesting effects.3. The wireless range isn’t that great via Lightspeed. I switch between my desk and TV room which is right next to the office. With the dongle connected to my computer itself, I’d lose connection at around 20 feet. I ended up getting a 6 foot USB extension, plugging the dongle into that, then setting the dongle about halfway between my computer and the TV room. Works like a charm. But I really shouldn’t have to do that, I feel like.

It’s not cheap, but worth it!
This is the second G915 Wireless keyboard I’ve owned. They are great keyboards that take a beating and keep working. Battery life is outstanding too.I love the thin design and the feel of the keys. The Logitech software is good and makes lighting and programming easy for a novice like me.

First of amazon shipping has become a joke… keyboard was sent in a big box and keyboard banged in the box so hard that it damaged the keyboard.Now the product flaws – keyboard was typing endless spaces when I type a space. May be could be due to the damage I mentioned earlier (could be not) the space bar fit itself is wonky I’m guessing this is QC issue. Critical flaws is the caps indicator displayed elsewhere, May be I could get used to looking at the new spot but the deal breaker is the Num lock, no indicator what so ever unless u have a Logihub software so it displays on ur screen when pressed. I live by numpad, this hinders my flow and can’t install logi software on work laptop so each time I had to guess if it’s on/off by typing a number key to check. Cant imagine that something this trival is being missed in 2024. Returned.EDIT – it seems to save the numlock setting may be set it once and forget. So i decided to give the replacement a DITL, it gets worse every turn. I could tell lighting on this keyboard is worst implementation. U could have a phd on whales communications, but it takes ages to understand logihub and why it is that way. If you plan on using the onboard memory, be whatever your lighting preference every time keeb goes to sleep it will reset to blue wave. If you have windows 11 ditch the logihub and go with windows dynamic lighting and set to a static color and call it a day. If you are like me stuck with windows 10 n onboard memory, sorry to say that you should build muscle memory of pressing brightness+8/9 to get to your saved lighting preference everytime the keyboard goes to sleep. My mid range 4 yr old steel series keyboard had better onboard effects n user experience.
