    special characters dont illuminate

    the special characters on the keys don’t illuminate. this is insane for a $200 keyboard, they only laser etched the primary letters and numbers, so for instance there is no backlighting on the $ % ^ * @ # ! * ) ( : < > { } ~ keys. sounds small, but try typing at night time or in a dark room…. you cant see the dark grey font printed on the keys for special characters because 1) its dark to begin with and 2) the backlit key lighting drowns out your ability to see that small amount of contrast between dark grey font and black keys.seriously a huge, huge issue for a keyboard at this price range. this keyboard could have been a 100/100 if the special characters were also etched and had backlighting, but honestly this keyboard ends up being a 60/100 because of how hard it is to type in dark/dimly lit settings. SWING AND A MISS, logitech.outside of that, this is the best keyboard ive ever used. ive tried the clicky and tactile version and love them both. smokes any other logitech, corsair etc keyboard because the keycaps are so easy to type on, there is a gap between keys but not nearly as much of a gap as traditional keyboard keycaps, so i have significantly less typos from fat fingering 2 keys at once.i bought 2 of these from betsbuy to compare key types and return the one i dont like (click is amazing but just too loud, so i’ll keep tactile)… amazon seems to have lost my delivery. yay xmas!

    Best Keyboard Evar!

    I know everyone is up in arms over the price of this keyboard, but it just so happens to be the best keyboard I’ve ever experienced! I’ve owned several mechanical keyboards over the years and I have to say that this is easily the best typing experience I have ever had! I did buy this directly from Logitech instead of on Amazon so I would get it faster. I was a little skeptical about how a low-profile mechanical keyboard would feel but after banging out the first email on this thing, all of my fears went out of the window. I went with the “tactile” model because I wanted the more traditional key press response but without the ridiculous mechanical key press sound. Definitely the best of both worlds here! In addition to all of the expected RGB options, I love that there are dedicated media and shortcut buttons that are fully configurable through the Logitech software. Plus that volume scroll wheel is a life saver! My old keyboard hid the volume toggle within a couple of the function keys which made something as basic as turning down the music when my phone rang a much bigger hassle than it should have been. I really do love this keyboard so if you have the funds, it’s a no-brainer! In fact, this keyboard is so much fun to type on that this review was actually 3 times as long as I had originally planned..

    Keyboard forgets profile, goes back to default

    Will not remember light sync settings, software shows correct profile and keyboard is recognized, but reverts to rainbow with cycling animation. Not worth 250.00 dollars when it can’t control the RGB when wireless.

    Quality

    Is it expensive? Yes, but for some people it’s worth it, for others it’s not. That’s up to you to decide for yourself, but price aside, I’ll just tell you about the keyboard.The G915 works really well for me. I got the linear version and the key presses are much quieter than the G513 linear keys, which weren’t really loud to begin with. I play a lot of Overwatch, so I hit the keys hard when I play. My gf can tell a difference in the noise when I play.The media controls are a good feature. The volume knob is a smooth scroll. For some reason I assumed it would be clicky/notchy, but it’s not. The G513 had to use a Fn button to access the media controls, which was a little annoying. Also you can’t customize the colors of the media/memory/other special function keys at the top. Kinda lame.Not a big deal, but I like the light up G in the upper left corner. Matches my mouse and mouse pad.I wasn’t specifically looking for a slim mechanical keyboard, but this keyboard had all the features I wanted. It turns out that I do enjoy the feel of typing on it. The key travel doesn’t feel too short (like the new MacBook keyboards). I also appreciate how heavy and sturdy the base is. Also, because the base is so thin, I don’t feel like I need a wrist rest anymore (the G513 came with a really cushy one, which I loved). Dimitri from Hardware Canucks said you wouldn’t need a wrist rest, and I agree. My keyboard sits on my super oversized mouse mat. The mouse mat serves as a soft place for my wrists while I type, in the same way that I lay my wrist on it when I use the mouse.I also do like the G keys on the left side of the keyboard. Now the new G Hub software is buggy, not too intuitive, and lacks some features when compared to the Logitech Gaming Software. But I was able to map one of the G keys to cycle through my different audio outputs. It makes it easy for when I want to switch between my speakers and headset which are always physically connected to my PC. The old way I used to switch audio outputs was by right clicking on the speaker icon in the taskbar. Just another small convenience. The one thing I don’t like about the G keys though is my left pinky naturally gravitates towards the G5 key (the lower left most key) when I try to use the Ctrl key. I’m assuming I’ll get used to the layout over time, but right now it’s a bit hard retraining myself. Btw, on the plus side for the new G Hub software , it does give a bit more control on custom lighting for your logitech devices. It’s not great and definitely not as good as Corsair’s software and level of customization though.I bought the wireless version. Now I don’t plan on using it wirelessly so it’s always plugged in, but the reason I wanted it is because there’s a button which can quickly switch the keyboard to bluetooth mode. I have it paired with my phone so when I get a text on my phone, I just hit the bluetooth key on the keyboard and quickly type a text message. (Just to be clear, I’m still looking at my phone while I’m typing — I’m just using the keyboard to type.) Then I quickly switch back to continue using my computer. It’s a nice convenience.One thing that I don’t like about the keyboard is that the symbols are not backlit on the top row number keys (and other keys). Maybe they do it for aesthetics, but sometimes I miss that feature when I’m typing in a dark room.All in all, I’m pretty happy. It was definitely expensive, but for me, it does a lot of the things I want it to do and that was important to me.Btw, in case you didn’t notice, the wired version of this keyboard has a USB passthrough, which the wireless version doesn’t have. Just in case you wanted that feature.

    Need a TKL version without the G keys

    Too wide. I will buy again if there is a TKL version of this without the extra G keys.

    Overpriced, but not obscenely so considering the quality of the board

    Obviously, it’s pretty expensive. $250 is a lot to ask for any keyboard. That being said, while I feel like it’s slightly overpriced I definitely don’t feel like it’s a complete ripoff considering what you’re getting. I’ve had it for a week and I’m completely satisfied with it so far. The build quality feels very solid, it looks super sharp on my desk, and the low-profile switches (I got the clicky blues since I use it for both gaming and productivity) are among my favorite of any mechanical keyboard I’ve ever used. It’s loaded with features, the RGB looks vibrant and evenly-lit, and I really appreciate being able to quickly swap between the wireless dongle and standard bluetooth when I want to switch to my work laptop.Shockingly, the Logitech G-Hub software is actually pretty decent, which is not a thing I’m used to for gaming peripheral drivers, even from Logitech. It’s not flawless, but it looks nice, it’s reasonably fast and responsive, and it generally does what it needs to do without any fuss, which is really all you need out of software like this.If you don’t care for the wireless, the G815 is the exact same keyboard but without wireless for $50 less, which is pretty reasonable.

    Easily the best keyboard I’ve had to date….

    I’ve jumped between Corsair, Razer, Keystone, Logitech and Hexgears looking for just the right keyboard. Lately, I got into this ‘flat key’ / low profile craze to help out my wrists since I’m LITERALLY on the keyboard all day in one form or fashion. Thus far, EVERY keyboard I’ve had ended up having some strange issue…… either not-wireless, or repeating key issues from the wireless.This keyboard literally has NONE of those issues. The keys are responsive, have a nice-but-not-obnoxious click and I’m getting zero repeating key issues across the systems I’ve used and paired it with using both Lightspeed and Bluetooth. The key LED lighting is vivid but not nearly as distracting as other keyboards, especially in a dark-ish room.It’s a little expensive, but the build quality reflects it. I would have loved to have seen this at the $199 mark, but the $249 mark isn’t causing any buyers remorse yet.

    Fantastic quality and features, surprising problems

    This review is specifically for the G815 which is a total redesign from the G810. I know the price is a big issue for a lot of people but if you are reading this you have the money and are trying to decide if it’s worth it. The KB is the single part of the computer you will touch the most. More than any mouse, touchpad or trackball. So a meaningful change there will have a real impact on your experience with your computer. I found this keyboard fantastic — but with some troubling issues. Well worth my money but is it worth it to you? Read on.So, things I like:- Super thin but heavy enough not to move around at all. Stable as a rock.- Fast. Like really, noticeably faster. My typing speed instantly increased.- Butter smooth linear keystrokes, no muss, no fuss, no click.- Metal body looks and feels pro, top quality. It should for the price.- A bit of space between the keys means less fat fingering.- Really, super programmable per key. For example I have just the logo to do a lighting effect while the other keys are static.- The G HUB program that sets up the lights and macros was intuitive enough I figured out how to use it just tinkering with it. I was able to do a lot of interesting configuration on my KB.- I set up my keys with colors to denote function. So most keys are white but my F keys are yellow, my G keys are orange, my Windows and audio keys are blue, my caps, num, scrlk, pause, prtsc keys are green, etc. Makes for at a glance and peripheral identification and less hitting the wrong key.- A small lighted bar on the spacebar. Nice touch.- Stout cord and rubber protector. Braided cover. Built to last. Handsome IMO. YMMV- Audio controls are simple and responsive.- Separate programmable/macro keys (G keys). Sure, they could have built another function into the F keys but having them separate means one touch activation. When gaming simple is best. The biggest argument I see against separate G keys is a larger KB footprint. But not here. My old Azio KB without those measures about 18¼” (46cm) across while this one is about 18½” (47cm) so ¼” (1cm) difference. My standard HP keyboard for work is 18″ (just under 46cm) across so the difference even there is minimal. Unless you are upgrading from a KB with no number pad this just isn’t an issue. They accomplish this by having a much narrower bezel between the edge of the keys and the edge of the KB. Clever design.- I thought I would miss the built in wrist rest but I don’t. With this much thinner KB it just isn’t needed. And that change means a smaller footprint front to back. Under 6″ (14cm).Things I found odd:- Needs TWO USB plugs. One with a KB symbol, the other with a USB symbol. Why 2? Power requirements? Not a big deal but it’s weird. [EDIT: The extra plug is to make the USB port on the top of the KB is a passthrough. But it’s USB 2.0 and a KB is not a lot of traffic so why they thought a passthrough was needed I don’t know. Still weird.]- The USB passthrough is next to the cord on the top edge of the KB, not on the side as expected.- No scroll lock light. It has a scrlk KEY but no indicator light. Not that most of us use that but if you ever turned it on by accident you would have a heck of a time figuring it out.- There is no audio passthrough. I don’t care but you might.- The keys use the new style of being raised up off the keyboard so there is empty space under them. It looks kinda cool but I worry I will catch the corner of an edge key and pop it off. IDK if that would break it or just pop off the top. I would rather not find out.Stuff I don’t like:- The symbols !@#$%^&*()_+ etc are just printed on the keys; they do NOT illuminate. So on the 1 key only the 1 lights up, NOT the ! And they are printed in a medium gray, not white, so they really don’t stand out. In low light — like for gaming — they are completely invisible. This is the only thing I truly HATE about this keyboard. I’m sure someone will point out that I should be able to type without looking but then why illuminate the keys at all? And esp with symbols their placement changes from KB to KB. Any way you look at it, this is a big FAIL.- The letters and numbers on the keys are small. They could have easily been 25% larger without looking oversized and still with plenty of room for the symbols And they should have. They are very clear so even my old eyes can make them out but bigger would have been better.- I have yet to figure out how to use the 3 memory keys. I’ve tried a number of things and nothing has worked yet. The manual, being for the G810 which did not have those keys, is no help. I have found no YouTube vids on how to do it. I’ll figure it out but this is a problem.- Speaking of the manual, the closest I could find was the G810 manual and this is a complete redesign so not much help there.- The web site was weird and buggy and had no idea what a G815 is. It said something about being in transition so maybe that’s it. But wow, just wow.- The caps lock and num lock lights are white, rather bright, and not adjustable. I will have to put a tinted plastic cover over them. Also, reading the printed text next to them to see which is caps and which is num is impossible. Litreally black on black. I can figure it out but that’s obnoxious. Maybe I’ll paint over that in white.- The brightest level is just about right for me, but I like lower light. It has dimmer levels but nothing brighter. Not sure why they went with such subdued light, especially since this is a USB plug in, not wireless, so no battery issues. If I had a fancy PC build on display with this KB doing a light show I would want it much brighter.The problems are mostly things that should have been caught by releasing a few prototypes to a handful of gamers. Overall it’s a fantastic keyboard with some surprising issues for a premium priced KB. I don’t regret the purchase but normally with this many issues I might give it just 3 stars. Still, it’s already by far my all time favorite KB so I’ll go with 4.And hey, Logitech, if you’re reading this, if you need someone to tell you this stuff in the future I would be happy to do so. Because whoever is doing it now is not catching these things.
