Logitech G915 & G915 TKL (ALL SWITCHES) - Expensive, But Worth It? - Detailed Review
The Logitech G915 & TKL model are one of the very few good players in this space for being a low profile, quality keyboard with most importantly... GOOD SWITCHES! But is it worth upwards of $230? Find out on this episode of Dragonb... I mean this video.

OK
I have the g915 clicky. It's mediocore in all respects. The keystroke is too long, despite the shortened keycaps that imply a shorter throw, but in reality just exposes the keyboard to crumbs, lint, hair etc. I've pulled a cat hair out that was triggering the g key with tweezers. It's garbage. The G keys bug the other keys if you haven't set it up. F*ck that. They're also about three millimeters too close. Yeah, it matters. I agree the keyboard is "too long," but not because it's too big, because there's no shoulder on it at all. Which is deceptive. You end up moving it too close to the mouse because the edge and the key positions are off and your brain is trying to maximize the space. My next keyboard will be an IBM 4704. I'm done with this nonsense.
Great review! By the way, can you throw the link down here for that beautiful watch strap you have on your wrist there. Thanks 🙏

Yo I did like comment and subscribed, pls give me a feel of that TKL keyboard mwuaaaaaah ;)
I know this is your first keyboard review so I have a couple of critiques. First, the video is 17:41 minutes long. It should’ve been 17:42 because 17:41 is just too short. Second, I saw a spec of dust on the keyboard when looking through my handy dandy magnifying glass. Other than that, this was the best keyboard review on KZhead; trust me I checked. It took me almost a month to decide on a keyboard. I ended up going with Razer huntsman Elite, but had I seen this review, I would’ve probably chosen this one. Thanks man and great reviews as always.
Dammit. Next time I’ll go into more detail to squeeze in that extra second. Also, my girlfriend was laughing and blowing on the monitor when we watched it before posting it because of all the dust looool Thank you so much for the support!
Bijan Jamshidi Lol! I had to mess with you somehow because your reviews are literally the best around. I’ll see you on the next video.
lol ok. Dude, this was a great comment!
Best keyboard review; and, sound/ design comparison of keys.
That was a bit harsh wasn't it? You could've gone a little easier on the guy with the critiques...
Honestly, this Is the best keyboard review by far. I can clearly see you have done your research thoroughly and I truly appreciate that.
Agree! Best review!
Agree, this made me get the keyboard. Thanks!
This is the best review of Logitech G915 on whole Internet. You pointed all the things in detailed way. I love the way you compared the switches. You are ready to become the best electronic equipment reviewer in KZhead! Keep your videos as great as this one is!
This is a really superb review, thankyou so much for taking the time to put this together. Now that bricks-and-mortar stores typically do not stock much hardware, or no longer exist, or are corporate owned (such as Apple) it is all the more important and useful for high quality reviews such as this. Many thanks again!
I forgot to mention that the reason battery indicator is set to flash at 15% is that under 20% every electronic device that uses lithium battery, create huge stress on the battery. This means the more you keep it unde 20% the faster your battery will die and the fewer cycles you can have.
I watch alot of reviews. But this is the best one yet. Your detail breaks down of the type of switches was absolutely on point.
loving the reviews and the work put into the production. can't wait to see your channel blow up
great video!! this helped me so much when trying to choose which Logitech keyboard I wanted to buy, slightly long but worth the time it took to watch it all!!! keep up the great work!!! :)
What did you decide on in the end? Just curious. In the market for a wireless tkl, this looks perfect, minus the lack of keycap support D:
@@MechaPlays i got the red linear switches i love the keyboard very simple great keyboard i will be using it for a very lontime...it also is great with the macros and volume scroll wheel
Just got myself the G915 TKL with GL Linear switches (red) and I can say that I love it. Very quiet for a mechanical keyboard. I think the low profile helps as well with this. At first I was thinking for the full size, but after I saw the TKL has 10 hours longer life for battery and numpad is just for dust (for me). I got it for 150$. I think it's the real price for it
I gotta say, this is a super high quality review. Definetly gonna go check out more of your stuff!
This is, by far, the best g915 review I have found online. Thank you! Btw, I recently bought the linear version of they keyboard. I can't say I am very excited about the quality/feeling of the switches. I will probably send it back.
This is without a doubt the absolute BEST review for this keyboard I’ve seen! You’ve helped me make the decision to buy the TKL version so so so much easier! I appreciate this video so much that I’m pleased to say that you’ve just earnt a new subscriber
I have to say, this is my absolute dream keyboard. It looks sooo good and I wanted a low profile keyboard with mechanical switches for a long time now from logitech. Had to wait a year to buy this, and it will arrive tomorrow. Got the 915 full size. I am very excited :)
Hi, sorry for responding to a comment a year old, but I'm planning on buying this keyboard (logitech 915 full size) and I was curious as to how you find it after a year. Are you happy with the performance? I saw someone saying that some of buttons start to wear down after a while or that characters become less visible
@@Tho-mas888responding a year later to this, i've been rocking my fullsize g915 for two 3 years now. I don't know what they're talking about with characters becoming less visible over time. They've probably been eating cheetos during their gaming sessions 😅 I'm a software developer so i use this keyboard for 8 hours a day at work, and then another few hours at home. Haven't experienced any wear at all, even after 3 years the thing still looks brand new. Only a few minor complaints with this keyboard: 1. The rubber buttons do indeed suck and are very offputting 2. I wish i would've gotten the TKL version 3. Due to the keyboard being low profile, it's very hard to find replacement keys. I still have all of mine, but this could be a problem. Modding the keycaps will be even harder. The low profile does however give alot of ergonomic advantages though. 😊
The 915 TKL is going to go so well with my G Pro Wireless 😍😍 thanks for the killer review again!
You're one of the best reviewers I have ever seen. You have a great advantage explaining. I already suscribed , keep going dude , awesome video
This is one of the most thorough reviews of any product I have ever seen. Thank you very much for all of the detail. Keyboards specifically - one of the best quality review videos I have ever seen. fantastic job.
you need a Keyboard that bad? What did you bought, why was this review this good?
Wow, great review! I think you covered every question I had about these. Pretty sure I'm gonna have to upgrade from my old K800 to one of these soon. I'll have to find some way to build a wrist support for it for couch use, though. Shame they don't have a model that's a cross between this and the G613 shape for that reason.
I love your explanations man - detailed and useful. I really like how you talked about the software integration too because that's a main feature that not many know about. Subbed.
Excellent review ! First time on your channel and honestly impressed. Complete and structured review. What not to like ? Keep up the good work. Just maybe a tip for you : your key light is 45 degrees oriented but placed too high, creating shadows under the eyes and giving a tired look. Just lower it until your eyes reflect it a little. If it’s too harsh put a lee filter or equivalent on it. It will increase your the quality of your lightning. Best !
Typing on my G915TKL - Love this keyboard we bought from india G913 is same no difference from furper store. The sound is really amazing on G913/G915 tkl and best performance.
Perfect review. You just answered exact questions I had in mind. Great work!
I've had the 915TKL in white (which only comes in Tactile) for about 6 months and it is one of my favorite keyboards. I was upgrading from the Steel Series original Apex Pro so this was a big upgrade. I didn't like that the White version doesn't get a choice of key types, but I've been fine with the tactile not having experienced the others. The build quality has been great so far, but mine came with a black, rubberized cable, not a braided one, so it doesn't match, looks bad, and I'm afraid it won't last as long as the keyboard. I appreciate being able to switch between light speed/bluetooth with a button press to hop between typing on my Windows PC and my Mac. I pair it with my Razer Tartarus Pro in White and the Razer Atheris in White so it all looks pretty good together. I've enjoyed it so much, I'm getting the black G915TKL (linear) and the Corsair K63 lap board for console gaming on my couch.
hey did u get the linear version? how do u like it compared to tactile?
The best review for this keyboard, thank you very much.
Trying to decide if I wanted this key board and this is genuinely the best video I have seen on this key board. Thank you!
I'm a software engineer and I'm rocking the GMMK TKL, kinda missing the numpad and media controls, I'm also on a quest for the least wires setup, not much choices in the market at the moment sadly.
Use external num pad.
man i get so happy everytime i see your channel when i search for something
I have them both and love them. I have the full size for my desk and a TKL for my TV. Great review by the way.
Damn Bijan, this is my first video ive seen and you really get into all the "little" details that I expect. Really, really amazing. Thanks !!
Great review. Thanks for that and appreciate the time you spent on this dude. Keep it up!
almost 2 years ago i bought The TKL version base on this video , and up to this day ive been happy and enjoying with my decision , Ty
Great Review. Average consumer points were addressed and also for the tech savvy you included stuff for them too. Keep it up.
Lots pf info and plenty of details on all 3 profiles. Thanks for all your hard work and research. I've been a fan of Logitech keyboards for years, as I've had their G15 1st Gen then moved to the 2nd Gen. I think it's time to make the jump to this wireless beast.
after using the 815 and 915, im currently waiting for the TKL... great video!
Thanks for the great video bro! when i was done watching it I wanted to give a thumbs up and was shocked by how many subs you have, I thought you had over 1 mil lol
The amount of view baffles my mind in proportion to the video quality. Awesome awesome review my guy!
I've bought a g915 tkl with tactile switches 3 months ago and I am pretty impressed with it. I played 4 hours straight, my joints,fingers weren't tired at all, plus I am a couch gamer, g915 tkl, has everything I need.
hey man you earned a new sub over your mointor in depth reviews they are extremely high quality and i love your new website keep up the great work
Good review, thanks, I just missed a little more time testing the sound of each switch
you're gaining subs fast as hell nice job
This was a really helpful review and i've watched a few on this keyboard already. You're also the first I noticed mention the G815 as an alternative. Nice work!
Great job with your first keyboard video. Very informative and insightful. Keep it up!
Best review, thanks for the detail and going inside all of your experience. You’ve got me sold on the linear! Thank you
The Caps-Lock key is stepped to keep you from hitting it by accident by creating more separation in-between the A key and the Caps Lock key. TMYK :) Good review.
Or use the free tool "Caps unlocker" its a free tool of 32kb. After installing, Only pressing the CAPS has no result. To set the capslock, you have to press the shift and the capslock together. So hitting the the capslock by accident is no longer possible. You're welcome.
Great review. Really in depth and objective. Was a tiny bit long, but well done!
Man this is the best review I have ever seen overall, congratz bro
I know I’m 7 months late, but you said to give you advice as this was your first keyboard review. It’s just a small thing, but I would have liked to see the software for the keyboard. Other than that, the review was really good and thorough. Thank you!
Amazing review! I was amazed with the power consumption of the backlight! Thank you
wow bro, 7k subs....first keyboard review????? you knocked it out of the park with this video!!
Best review of the G915 on KZhead. Great job!
Great very in-depth as always ❤️
Hi Bijan! Love your content. I just had a question about the difference between GSYNC and GSYNC Compatible monitors. Is there a significant difference in performance that would justify spending the additional money for built in GSYNC?
Hahahah the edits / captions calling yourself out were funny. :) Thanks for the good review!
I really love that it isn't just another video saying just the tech specs
"There's nothing wrong with it, I just like new stuff..." Is probably what will be written on my tombstone once I've been slain by the emptiness slowly making its way from my wallet to my fridge and stomach
Holy crap, this review is freakin’ awesome! Tons of details, close ups and more... Keyboards drive me nuts! I’ve had the MX Keys for 8 weeks and am hating it. Want to go back to the Microsoft Comfort 5000 I been using for 5+ years, but Logitech make the BEST mouse wheel anywhere. Keep doing this mate, loving this review. Might replace this crappy MX Keys with the G915...
just got this keyboard last week and love the design, functionality, build-quality, and design. I found 100% brightness distracting, so had been on the second darkest setting, it's been 5 days and it's still at 85% battery I'm impressed :)
Hi, sorry for responding to a comment a year old, but I'm planning on buying this keyboard (logitech 915 full size) and I was curious as to how you find it after a year.

One of the best reviews i ever saw. Checking your other content and may subscribe
loved the review, was super helpful. though just a note, the G hub software does feature profile switching based on what program is running, by default, it has a persistent profile set on a default priofile
Top review of this keyboard, thank you so much.
Thank you for not selling out and giving such a great review, man. Keep up the awesome work.
really detailed review, thank you♥️
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. 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.
After 1+ year, is it still a good keyboard?
@@MiXiIaire absolutely. enjoying typing on it everyday
do you still use this and still very good?
@@wattsy8511 oh yeah! Still great.
typing to you one this keyboard right now
hey thanks for explaining the buttons straightaway, the arcade button (which lets you disable keys) is very useful, appreciate the content man!!
Awesome review! Covered everything about keyboard and typing experience. 🙂
Subscribed - thanks for the detailed review
Damn good review! Glad I found your channel... keep up the great reviews! 👍👍👍
I purchased this keyboard and I absolutely love it. I have nothing negative to say about it. I paid 180 for mine and it was money well spent. Small price to pay for a great performance!
Just managed to get the clicky for £80/$105 brand new (last listing UK Amazon), then watched this afterwards and don't regret my decision ;) Thanks for the video!
First time on your channel. Love your review. Left with all questions answered. Subbed.
Amazing job man. I checked your yt channel too, you do serious job! Congrats. You earned another sub and like. Thank you for the review, it really helped my purchase desicion between those products
This is a really high quality review. Subscribed!
Fantastic review. First review I have seen of yours. Great work. Thank you. Subbed and liked :)
Amazing keyboard review! Can't wait for your comparison video between Keychron K1 V4 and Logitech G915
9:17 What a sick combo. It's the one I have and I highly recommend it to anyone with money to spend! It goes with any setup Logitech G915 TKL + Razer Viper Ultimate
This is the way
I'm getting the 915 soon but I have the Razer Basilisk. Almost identical LG Monitor as well lol
@@im_Spade_ I long moved from 915, it's a sexy keyboard if u barely touch it but the keycaps are so flimsy and cheap, the font wears off pretty fast. Hope ur getting it for a good price
@@SamLoki basically full price, though I'm getting geek squad and if I "accidentally spill water on it" after the keys wear out...hey, new keyboard for $50
@@im_Spade_ lol big brain
Very detailed and super informative. Thanks
Damn!, best review out there for these keyboard, better even than Hardware Canucks. Keep it up!
Now that's a compliment.
I have the Logitech G Pro TKL Keyboard and don't miss the numberpad.
Same
same and don't see wireless for kb being necessary
i have the x
i do lol
Same, have been using it last 2 months and not missing numpad at all.
great review! A lot better than the others I've seen
i like your confidence at the end of the video. keep it up bruh!
This review is just amazing ! Never mind it was your first review, amazing job !
Thank you for this review! Been planning to get this for myself but quite skeptical coz it's pricey. Nevertheless it's a good review. More power to your channel. I subscribed ☺️☺️☺️
Great vid! I decided for the TKL!
I love comparison to K95 and bought 915 tactile full size after your review. Cheers.
Appriciate time and care you put on your videos.
Perfect review, thanks
its hard to describe it but the GL Swithches feel a little less mechanical but still very satisfying. i really love the clicky ones because they are clicky but the sound is very gentle imo. the only thing i dislike about the keyboard is the key holding mechanic but i normally never take the switches off what makes it nearly irrelevant. Man i really hope your channel grows...you are basically a more energetic version of Optimum Tech. ALL THE BEST
Fantastic review. Love the comment about the numpad which I'm thinking about leaving away more and more.
Excellent review! This channel is awesome. Subscribed and liked the video. Excellent presentation too!
I used to have the K95 Keyboard and really like the scrolling audio wheel, what I didn't like is how HUGE it is, very long and got in the way of my mouse. I did however enjoy using the keyboard but I killed it by spilling a cup of tea on it.
Thanks for the good review!
Great video. I think that adding a wrist pad will help. but I still want to check out the different styles if Bestbuy & Frys have them.
I almost bought this but the details in this video changed my mind. Very good review.
Great review, thank you.
switching from razer too logitech keyboard and this review gived me a very clear view why. nice Review ! :3
Dude, that 28.8k subs is so misleading. Bloody quality review, love all the details you gave that are missing on those channels over a mil sub.
i think you are completely on point with the switches i only tried clicky and tactile and i liked clicky the best
I came for the switches, thank you for the easy to find time stamps
I recommend buying a deskpad that allows you to fit both your keyboard and your mouse on it. It'll make the keyboard sound different, and in a better way (imo). Stacking coins on top of the keys is also a good way to measure their actuation force and whatnot.
oh wow, didn’t even think of that. I’ll try that next! Thank you
@@BijanJamshidi Always use a deskpad! haha.
I like the way you review stuff. I just bought the tactile version of this keyboard. Thank you for the excellent review. (The clicky sound drives me crazy, tactile's middle ground, linear's got no feedback on the fingers).
How has it held up?
@@im_Spade_ Battery not yet degraded. Still good, I love this keyboard.
