Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED Keyboard Review Tested using Methodology v1.3.1 Review updated Jan 07, 2022 at 08:58 amLatest change: Writing modified Sep 13, 2024 at 01:10 pm By Samuel Breton, Gregory Vodden, and Olivier Gariepy 8.5 Gaming 7.3 Office 5.9 Mobile/Tablet 7.3 Programming 6.8 Entertainment / HTPC 8.6 Raw Performance + Create your own SearchingFinding Store overview test results deals 5 comments Size Full-size (100%) Hot-Swappable Switches No Connectivity Wireless Switch Type Mechanical N-Key Rollover (NKRO) Yes

The Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED is a low-profile, full-sized gaming keyboard with low-profile switches and keycaps. It also features dedicated macro keys and full RGB backlighting. Unfortunately, only the dedicated macro keys are programmable, so you can't remap other keys. It feels comfortable to type on even without a wrist rest, and it comes in three switch variants: GL Tactile, GL Clicky, and GL Linear. We purchased our keyboard with tactile switches, which are light to press and provide okay typing quality. Logitech also offers a G915 TKL version of this model, and while we haven't tested it, we expect it to perform similarly.

Our Verdict

8.5 Gaming

The Logitech G915 is an exceptional keyboard for gaming. The low profile switches are incredibly responsive and provide nice tactile feedback, and the keyboard has extremely low latency. The dedicated media controls allow you to adjust your audio without minimizing games, and the dedicated macro keys are a great addition. Also, if you like gaming in a dark room, the full RGB backlighting is a plus.

Pros

• Exceptionally low latency.
• Low profile switches feel very responsive.
• Fully customizable RGB backlighting.
• Dedicated macro keys.

Cons

• No included wrist rest.

SearchingFinding Store See our Gaming Recommendations 7.3 Office

The Logitech G915 is a decent keyboard for office use. The low profile nature of the keyboard makes it comfortable to type on, even without a wrist rest, and the GL Tactile switches on our unit are light to press and unlikely to cause any fatigue, even over long periods. However, the short pre-travel of these switches can cause more unintended keystrokes, resulting in more typos.

Pros

• Great build quality.
• Typing noise is minimal.
• Shouldn't cause fatigue, even after long periods of use.

Cons

• No included wrist rest.
• Typing quality is only decent.
• short pre-travel may lead to more typos.

SearchingFinding Store See our Office Recommendations 5.9 Mobile/Tablet

The Logitech G915 is disappointing for use with mobile devices. While you can connect this keyboard via Bluetooth, and nearly all of its keys function with most operating systems, the keyboard isn't very portable, as it's rather large and heavy. Additionally, it doesn't support multi-device pairing.

Pros

• Connects wirelessly with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth.
• Rechargeable battery advertised to last 30 hours.
• Feels sturdy and well-built.

Cons

• Some keys don't work on iOS and iPadOS.
• Software isn't available on Android.
• Fairly large and heavy.

SearchingFinding Store 7.3 Programming

The Logitech G915 is good for programming. The dedicated macro keys are easily programmable, and you can store up to 15 macros on the onboard memory, which is great for those working on multiple computers. However, keep in mind that you can't assign macros to any key. The typing experience is okay, but you may make more typos than usual, as the keys have very short pre-travel.

Pros

• Great build quality.
• Fully customizable RGB backlighting.
• Dedicated macro keys.

Cons

• No included wrist rest.
• Typing quality is only decent.

SearchingFinding Store See our Programming Recommendations 6.8 Entertainment / HTPC

The Logitech G915 is decent for HTPC use. You can connect it easily to your TV via Bluetooth, and its full RGB, individually-lit keys are easy to see in the dark. It also has dedicated media keys, making it easy to pause, play, and adjust the volume of your content, but without a trackpad, you'll need a mouse to navigate the user interface.

Pros

• Fully customizable RGB backlighting.
• Connects wirelessly with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth.

Cons

• No dedicated trackpad.
• Poor color mixing.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

The Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED wireless mechanical keyboard is available with three different types of switches. We tested the variant with GL Tactile switches, but you can also get it with GL Clicky or GL Linear switches. Also, there's a TenKeyLess version of this keyboard without a Numpad, the G915 TKL. While it's available in black with the same choice of switches as the full-sized version, there's also a white colorway unique to the G915 TKL that's only available with GL Tactile switches. We haven't tested the G915 TKL, but we expect it to perform very similarly to this keyboard.

Compared To Other Keyboards

The Logitech G915 is an outstanding, low-profile gaming keyboard and is among the best gaming keyboards we’ve tested. It also comes with an excellent set of extra features. Unfortunately, you can only reprogram its dedicated macro keys. Also, the low-profile keycaps are made of ABS plastic, which some may find disappointing, especially given the premium price point of this keyboard. While its proprietary low-profile switches are incredibly responsive-feeling, they may not be for everyone as they bottom out more quickly than traditional switches.

Logitech G815 LIGHTSYNC RGB SearchingFinding Store

The Logitech G815 LIGHTSYNC RGB and the Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED are near-identical keyboards, but the G815 is wired-only, while the G915 is wireless.

You can use the G915 with its USB dongle or over Bluetooth, and it has a multi-device pairing feature, which means you can use it with mobile devices, and you can pair to multiple devices simultaneously. On the other hand, the G815 has a USB passthrough, which the G915 lacks.

On the other hand, the newer G515 TKL has a more compact 80% form factor. It also has several small improvements, including higher-quality PBT keycaps, pre-lubed switches and stabilizers, and acoustic case materials that make it quieter. Lastly, while it doesn't have dedicated macro keys, you can program macros to any key using the configuration software.

The Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED and the Logitech G715 are two high-end gaming keyboards with notable differences. The G915 is a full-size keyboard that uses low-profile GL switches and keycaps, which offer a shorter pre-travel distance and better ergonomics so keypresses feel more sensitive. The G915 also has slightly better latency, though the difference is only a few milliseconds, so you won't notice it. On the other hand, the G715 is a TenKeyLess keyboard that gives you more space on your desk for mouse movements, and it uses standard height GX switches, so it feels more like a typical mechanical keyboard. It also includes a wrist rest for added support.

The Logitech G915 is rather large, as it's a full-sized keyboard and has an added column of dedicated macro keys on the left. If you prefer a more compact design, there's also a smaller TenKeyLess version called the G915 TKL. If you're interested in a low-profile gaming keyboard with an even slimmer design, check out the Corsair K100 AIR, or if you'd prefer a smaller compact (65%) form factor, check out the ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile or the Logitech G515 LIGHTSPEED TKL.

— 8.0 Design Build Quality Keycap Material ABS

The build quality is great. It has a metal frame and hard plastic backing. It exhibits some flex due to the thinness of the board, but it's fairly minimal. Although the keycaps are doubleshot, which is great for the durability of the key legends, they're made of ABS plastic, which can pick up oils from fingers easily and tends to develop a shine over time. The keys also wobble slightly, but it isn't too noticeable during regular use.

Note: Our unit's frame has a slight upward arch. However, we're not sure if this is a manufacturing defect or if it was damaged during shipping, so your experience may vary. The score has been adjusted accordingly.

— 7.0 Design Ergonomics Curved/Angled No Split Keyboard No Key Alignment Staggered Minimum Incline 0° Medium Incline 4° Maximum Incline 8° Home Row Height 21.5 mm (0.8")

The Logitech G915 has decent ergonomics. It has two incline settings, and the feet have rubber pads to prevent slipping. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with a wrist rest; however, its low-profile design makes it very comfortable to type on without it, and it's unlikely you'll experience significant hand fatigue even when typing on it for long periods. If you prefer bigger keyboards that come with a wrist rest, check out the Corsair K95 PLATINUM.

The Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED has good wireless versatility. You can connect it either with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth, but it doesn't support multi-device pairing via Bluetooth.

Logitech claims it takes about three hours to charge fully and has up to 30 hours of battery life with the backlight at maximum brightness.

You can save up to three different profiles via the G HUB software and switch between them using the M1, M2, and M3 buttons on the top left of the keyboard. You can have a custom set of five macros for each profile, which means you can end up with a potential total of 15 macros. Also, the MR button lets you record a macro without using the software, and the wireless connection and Bluetooth buttons let you switch between connection types. If you'd prefer a low-profile keyboard where every key is macro-programmable, consider the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro.

— Typing Experience 6.5 Typing Experience Typing Quality Key Spacing 19.0 mm (0.748")

The Logitech G915's typing experience is only okay. The low-profile keycaps are ABS plastic, which can develop shine from the oils on fingers. Also, some users will find the keys bottom out quickly, which may feel odd for those who aren't used to it. We tested the GL Tactile switches, which provide a nice tactile bump to indicate when you've registered a keystroke. The overall typing experience is light, responsive, and doesn't cause fatigue when typing for a long time. However, the short pre-travel can also cause you to register more unintentional keystrokes, leading to more typos than usual. If you like the low-profile switch and keycap design but prefer a better overall typing quality, check out the ROCCAT Vulcan 120 AIMO.

The Logitech G915 is a low-profile mechanical keyboard. Our unit has GL Tactile switches, which feel light and responsive and offer great physical feedback. If you'd rather have a different switch type, this keyboard is also available with GL Clicky or GL Linear switches. If you're interested in a keyboard with low-profile switches that have a stem compatible with Cherry keycaps, check out the Logitech MX Mechanical.

The Logitech G915 has outstanding companion software. It allows you to customize the RGB backlighting on a per-key basis and reprogram the dedicated macro keys, but keep in mind that you can't rebind any other key on this keyboard. The onboard memory can only save up to three profiles, but the G HUB software lets you save as many as you want. There's also cloud sync storage available, though it requires a Logitech account. Note that the software only recognizes the keyboard while using the receiver or the cable, and it won't if you're using a Bluetooth connection.

Note: We didn't experience any issues using the software during our testing. However, many users online have reported various problems trying to use the Logitech G HUB software, including but not limited to startup issues, freezing, and failures to recognize certain devices.
