Jay: This keyboard is way too expensive. Entire r/MechanicalKeyboards: *SO ANYWAYS, I STARTED TYPING*
This price is entry level over there.... 😬😂
I mean for some Logitech crap the price is HHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIDEOUS.
Beat me to it
when will he join us
Totally agree LOL
He spent so much on the keyboard that he has to post a KZhead video to earn the money back
Big brain move.
This way he can claim it on his tax returns.
@@matthewparker9276 He can do that regardless of the video or not. ;)
His pc costs more
every tech KZheadr ever.
The lighting in this room is telling my brain that he is in front of a green-screen and I am very uncomfortable because I know he is not.
True bro
Was gonna like; but it was already at a perfect number: 69
It's more him being in complete focus and the background being fuzzy and fake looking, but i guess the lighting adds to that.
And now I cant unsee it...
now i can't unsee it
Thanks, Jay- a year later, this is the perfect review. All my questions answered, right here. I wanted to know if keys and feel are solid enough for daily wired use as solid mechanical keyboard for fast typing. Colors-fun, gaming-yes, wireless, yes at times. Productivity - mostly. Solid keyboard-most important...and..a year later...actually found on sale (linear keys.)
Yeah, I bought mine on Amazon $100 off. Got the linear tkl, replaced my custom keyboard. Definitely gonna main this board for a long time. Unless they make a new one.
lol i genuinely really enjoy that phil is still "in the video" even without him physically being there
the art of editing
@Patrick G Yeah it kinda feels like Phil feels left out, making sure nobody forgets about him
@Patrick G I'm with you. At the start I was thinking that it will be so nice not to hear anyone laughing in the background or making comments, then I started seeing the editorial comments and though, darn. Sigh.
@@skykingusa I agree its annoying ASF!!!!!!!!!! and not to mention unprofessional.
@@themadhatterxxx He's a youtuber man. I get he's a "professional" youtuber, but it's always been a characteristic of his videos. It's one of the things that turned him into a "professional" youtuber.

he actually means he got paid way to much for creating this video to sell an over priced keyboard! LOL
Hez kiyle could you share your profile picture...huge bobba fett fan
For real, my Redox is like >300 bucks.
*laughs in mechmarket
My Filco Majestouch 2 full size, with linear Cherry MX Blacks and Filco's own tall spherical double shots, is totally budget next to Jay's Logitech G-Shiny wireless one.
My friends are telling me to get the Corsair K70 instead of this but I saw this at a store on display and I couldn't stop typing on it. This will be my first keyboard thank you for clarifying it for us!
This keyboard actually looks really nice. Something i really don’t like about a lot of mechanical keyboards is the fact that they always have tall keys. So seeing a nice keyboard with short keys is nice
8:00 "The audio setup that you're hearing me on, which is jarringly better" I thought it sounded worse xD
Yeah, sounds like a good headset mic, but not studio at all.
yeah.
It wasn't better. Poor processing or sound treatment.
honestly same, but it is actually better is just super clear so his voice basically sounds as close to life as posible which can sound worse when really his other mic just dulls his voice more and doesnt pick up tiny little noise
yeah same
“I’m not a fast typer, at my fastest I can cap out at like 110 wpm” Me using my pointer fingers barely passing 50 wpm
you just need to know your layout better
I can't type 30wpm
Pointer finger 50 wpm.. sure.. No way you can go 50 wpm with 1 or 2 fingers. 50 wmp sounds like a machine gun. It's like 3-5 keys per second.
@@tomriddle2257 dumbass wpm stands for words per minute. I hope you know that a minute is about 60 seconds, following this logic, 50wpm is about 0,83 keypresses per second. Your 3/5 presses would be 120-300 wpm which is litterally way above the speed of the fastest typist of the world.
@@frixionz2187 lol what? You know that a word consists of several letters plus the space keys and punctuations between the words? 60 wpm is 1 word per second.
man..this was a nice video filming setup - this lighting looks freaking amazing- I wish this video had come out in 4k res.
"I'm not the fastest typer. Usually I can top out about 105 or 110" That's faster than 95% of people. 75 WPM is average for professional typists.
haha! I actually tried right after he said that, i topped out at 45 WPM in my native language
I’m 90 and I thought he was gonna say around 60 turns out he types at 105 lol.
@@rivakenpachi656 in your age it's understandable
I have 45-50 wpm
Ri co lol. Well I have been using laptops since like 8 years ago and my aim was to chat with people while gaming but didn’t pay attention that my typing speed was increasing subconsciously. I found out that something called wpm existed and was wondering what it meant and now I’m seeing all types of numbers here and there.
Bro... The framing of this video is insane. I really like this freakin setup
“i spent way too much on this keyboard” sees $230 me: i’ve spent more on keycaps
At least with the keycaps it's being put to better use. This keyboard is garbage compared to any custom build for the same price.
chad :weary:
we don't talk about that folks, you only spent very little on each keycap
im still new to this mechanical keyboard thing, bought keychron k4 last month and I dont seem to find any keycaps that looks pretty Do you guys have any recommendation on where I could find pretty keycaps? or the ones that maybe can affect the sound of the key?
Kelvin Halim if you have a budget of around $100, Maxkey makes great SA profile sets that make your keyboards sound a lot bassier and also louder. If your budget is even higher and you're willing to wait for new releases and restocks, GMK is considered the absolute king of keycaps.
Hey Jay, I love your work space man, really cool! I love the board, started out with the full size tactile version and swapped it out for the full size clicky and I love it. Now I also bought the TKL which saves me space on the desk but kept the FSC for my spreadsheets. haha!
had mine for a couples months now all i can say is worth every penny plus that wireless look on your desk makes it look so much nicer
@@kitty.miracle it is wireless and Bluetooth
Jay: "Im not that fast at typing I only get 105-110 WPM" Me: Mom look I got 60 WPM!!!
Shoot, I'm over here at like 36 on a good day.....
WPM is such a stupid unit. Use characters/s.
Yeah.. everyone at my college think im a typewriter cuz of how fast i am.. and i get around 80-100wpm
@@happygimp0 WPM is defined as Characters (or rather Keystrokes) divided by 5.
Is that according to Mavis Beacon?
Keyboard snobs: "For the same price, you can build a better one yourself." Me: "Sweet. I'm an engineer and I got mad soldering skillz. Where can I buy a kit?" Snobs: "Oh, well, you see, everything is always sold out forever. You're supposed to get on a bunch of lists, wait months for group buys and special projects, and buy like five keyboards' worth of parts before you mix and match all the features you want." Me: "And you say this is cheaper..." Snobs: "Oh, absolutely. By the time it's actually done, you'll completely forget about all the money you spent, ergo it's cheaper."
you're mad
This is spot on
Just buy leopold or durgod
I partly agree, but most people don't use the argument that it's cheaper but that you get something of much much much higher quality that you can customize specifically for what you want, visually, material and feel wise. Besides when you understand how the enthusiast keyboard part manufacturers make money its understandable why it runs like it does.
if ur gonna buy a prebuilt just get a ducky, vortex, leopold, or durgod. gmmk or drop if you want hotswap
the key tapping is giving me world of warcraft flashbacks! Listening to the raid leaders keyboard clicking getting more and more intense as we're about to wipe while he's huffing and puffing, preparing to cuss us out in broken english
Jay: "I'm not the fastest typer, usually 100-105 wpm" me with an average of 45-50 wpm: -_-
45-50 is average so dw about it

When he mentioned clubbing someone with a keyboard.. I instantly thought about that scene from Wanted.
killernanny4315 how can you not think of it, had the same thought.
We all did
Fun fact: that was Chris Pratt!
Same, but from when he first mentioned keyboards
"Im not the fastest typist" he says while reporting top .1% typing speed.
I was about to say. My mere 70 wpm doesn't even compare
Yeah. Talk about a lack of perspective. Like saying I can only run a 4.3 40.
.1% would be like 160 WPM, he might be the top 1%
Id say Jay tends to be like that.
When does he type?
I’ve just got this keyboard. Love it! Looks clean, performs great, best typing experience I’ve ever had, and feels like it will last me good while
Same experience. Expensive, but worth it. best out there.
Same for me. I don't even see that much competition.. low latency, wireless, rgb lights, good switches to type on. Had the G613 with romer G switches befopre.. was also good.. but too loud and the first button you push won't be recognized which is really anoying
@@peterbernhard6087 Can you adjust the lighting time out time?
@@telo6739 what switches do you have?
@@vnwvn3558 Don't remember actually,I think it's tactile, I don't like clicky, got some hand problems so the less pressure the better
I was able to get the tkl version for around 160 including tax, pretty nice deal. Had it for 3 month now and I got the clicky. Definitely happy with it but also definitely not perfect. I have serious ocd and I hate wires. My desk has a total visible wires less than 5 inches. The performance is solid never had an issue that I can remember of. But yeah that keycaps sucks. Wanted to swap out for some puddings but nothing on the market can fit these switches
Jay, you have a gift my man. You somehow manage to keep me watching your videos on stuff like this despite me not even being in the market for it. I'm a Corsair K70 guy through and through and nothing would convince me to switch but I still finished the entire video.
I'm 10 seconds in the video and, before I continue watching it I'd like to say: damn Jay, that is some fine lights you have in that room, the whole video is crispy AF. Good job!
Thanks Jay! I ended up getting the linear TKL version and love it.
6:30 I wasn't paying full attention and the transition sound effect jumpscared the shit out of me lmao
Jay: Explaining his profesional quality audio recording setup. Me: listening using my phone's speaker
We do what we have to
A good recording is still a good recording, doesn’t matter what you’re using.
Sim Racing Veteran not true 😂
Jay: I like full sized keyboards. r/MechanicalKeyboards: has left the chat
I love full sized 65% keyboards too.
I want to buy a full size keyboard with the numpad in the left
Jae doesn't know it but he actually likes 1800 or CP1800 keyboards.
@@alenasenie6928 I did see a Kickstarter on Random Frank P that has a magnetic numpad that you can move around. It's on Kickstarter, it's price but looks really awesome!
@@alenasenie6928 This would make so much more sense.
I use a G815 which is the wired version of this. I love it. I think those are some of the best keys (tactile) I've ever tried. Like as you said, they aren't tall and they have a very nice travel so they don't feel like laptop keys. Also the low profile means you don't need a wrist rest.
I use the same but with klicy swithes and I love it!
I have the tactile as well, no clicky.. and you're right about the wrist rest, it's not needed... types very smooth
Jay : "I spent WAY too much on this keyboard..." *Logitech Fans* : "Oh no!" "Anyway - "
this camera has a super large aperture, looks like jay made his home office into a green screen background
I like it lol
nice observation
You mean small appreture. A high appreture value make the background sharp, low unsharp.
Magnus Terminus shallow depth of field is created by larger (more open) aperture
ye looks like a 85mm at f1.8 or f1.4. makes you thinner, tho
You can turn off the ''sleeping mode'' in the settings. I love the keyboard and only thing i hate about are the sharp corners which are everywhere
i love my G815 (wired version) with the tactile switches :D
I really like the switches in this keyboard and will enjoy being able to swap between work and home computer by using the 2 wireless types. I am receiving it as a gift though, which does very much impact the cost issue. Were I purchasing it myself, I'd agree that the G815 is almost definitely a better deal. The low profile clickies are really fun though.
6:09 When Jay almost pulls a Linus
Jay: "I am not the fastest typer, I top out about 101 words a minute.." Me: Typing for over 30 years and still only tops out at 60 words a minute, plus 15 spelling mistakes..
if you wanna type fast you gotta practice a lot and you gotta practice slow. like most things it's not hard to get reasonably good, it just takes dedicated effort.
Mario teaches typing grand champion... 😁
Ur low-key tryin to flex on us with those 60wpm
Joe Jackson well then ur just trash at typing
You're pretty quick then :) i type 40-50 wpm though not so many misspelled word
I have the mechanical G613 keyboard by logitech, it's great and it wasn't extremely expensive, just roughly 100 Euros I think and it's doing a great job, it also has a highspeed receiver and is extremely fast. It doesn't have lighting like yours though and is made out of rather good quality plastics instead of brushed aluminium. that said it's larger and it has a armrest included with is great on your lap and on my bed as well as on my desk. I am using 2 rechargable AA Batteries with it, they are good for about half a year at least.
Liking the little time seperated interactions between Jay & Phill because it aids the content, it's both informative and entertaining
"I've spent too much" Mechanical keyboard enthusiasts: Uh huh sure thing
I've been rocking this keyboard for the last few months. So as soon as I touched the display model at Bestbuy, I knew it was coming home. Fantastic feel and finish. Thanks for the video to validate my feelings and confirming (all my friends say so as well) I'm kinda dumb for spending so much on a keyboard. But I love it!
I had almost the exact same experience. Played with one at a box store and spent the next 8 months telling myself I didn't need one... I finally broke down and absolutely love this thing.
Ditto. I got gl linear instead (yes I am from that era - I don't want to touch mechanical keyboards if i have the choice). The moment I saw it, then was able to actually use a test demo within 10 seconds I was "Hey, grab a unit, I'm buying it right now"
Yea but I bet when you see that yellow m light always on and hit the g5 key instead of ctrl key or it messes your hand alignment up you get pissed with it, but then stroke it because it cost a bomb
I mean Logitech is so worth it tho
Literally the exact same experience down to the store I found it in lol
I bought the linear for my home since I am always typing reports and essays for school and I love it. I am wanting to get one for work but it is a little too pricey for me to be bringing this to work.
I actually got this keyboard myself, and although I don't usually plug it out of the cable, I like it for the feel of the keys, the size and functions. the price didn't bother me as I know I will probably have this keyboard for a while, so that is not an issue. It's also super easy to keep clean because of the metal brush plate on the front. I haven't got anything to complain about when it comes to the keyboard itself, only that the software seems to be super glitchy at times, and change stuff here and there without me knowing about it. All in all though, I think it is a great keyboard, and would recommend it to anyone who want a fullsize keyboard that isn't all that big, but still got a lot of use and can be used to both gaming and other stuff.
I spent to much on this keyboard Me: boi look at that pc
"The audio setup you're hearing me on which is jarringly better than what you were just hearing me talk in the video" Am I the only one that though the rest of the video sounded way better than the Shure SM7B?
Nope, i though the same thing
I believe he's since adjusted it, it sounded way better on his livestream.
I agree, sound one was better than sound two.
Yup sounded like he swapped to a gaming headset
I was looking for this.
just went and picked up this keyboard but as the full size version. paid out of my ass but im very impressed with all the functions and options you get.
just got this keyboard and i love it. coming from an off-brand mechanical keyboard with green switches, the g915 is miles ahead in terms of build quality and i'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of logitech's switches. the short key travel is great too.
I bought a 915 clicky for home, I loved it so much I bought a second for my work. My only complaint is that the symbols are not backlit.
Just the review I needed. I've been looking for a reason to dump Corsair peripherals, 'cause... screw iCue. Already have the G Pro Wireless so this seems like a good option.
i said "im done with 'Gaming' oriented keyboards."
I have the G915 TKL variant of that same keyboard, I've never had any range issues like you've had, but then again I don't have VR and I'm never using gaming controllers around it. But everything you said in the video is pretty much exactly how I feel on this keyboard, and I wouldn't have spent as much as this costs if I was the one shopping for it, but this keyboard was a gift for me and it's a great keyboard, but it definitely feels like a more "premium" product, specifically one a bit above my budget.
I have the wired version with the tactile non-click version of the keys (G815). I love it. It has been pretty good.Combined with the G903 mouse and the Logitec mouse charging mouse pad. Best combination I have used in a long time, though I do still miss my G700. By far the most perfect mouse I have ever had.
I have the ten keyless version, and I find the tactile switches to be a little too heavy for me. I'm not a great typist by any means, but I can maybe do 100-120. On this keyboard I can't even make 90. Maybe I just need to get used to it, but the stroke is so heavy (60 g?) that my forearms get tired almost right away. That being said, it's so pretty, the wireless is so lag free, and the lights are really configurable. I'm kind of on the fence about whether I should return it or not. Now that you've (presumably) had it for more than a year, do you find that the switches break in and become easier to press? Or is it always going to be the same?
@@Qichar had it for several years. No issues as yet. I had the I think 915 before that and it had issues with the switches doing double clicks, especially on the space bar.
@@Gnrnrvids I just got a Red Dragon K621 Horus TKL with brown switches and it is perfect. The keyboard feels like a cheap knockoff of the G915, down to the volume slider placement and the wireless dongle tucked into the underside for portable storage. Still, the face is metal and the size is nearly identical. Presumably because the battery, it's not as light as the feel would suggest. Having said all of that, the switches are amazing. They are exactly what I was looking for: low profile brown switches with a lower activation force. They are probably 45g switches to activate, but I don't know for certain. I'm going to have to return my G915 TKL with the tactile switches, even though I love everything about that keyboard EXCEPT for the switches. A part of me wants to hold onto it but it's too expensive to sit around, unused. It's a shame; the design is a work of art, and the Red Dragon copy can't compare aesthetically.
The camera is so good it looks like a green screen in the background.
The lighting as well
OMG I was just about to comment the same thing! I think it's the lighting.
*laughs in r/MechanicalKeyboards*
The raddle was very high on this board, but I must say I would like to salve their wireless technologie...
@@Jylakir OR just embrace the wires. There are some seriously nice custom cables for keyboards :)
Play this at half speed, it's amazing. Love your content Jay :)
This comment is underrated he Sounds so high :D
Just ordered it, love the dual connectivity for using it for both my gaming rig and my work laptop, which use the same main monitor at my home office (with a side one for the gaming PC when working). Being able to switch between the computers with a press of a button will be awesome. Right now I have two keyboards staggered in front of me to be able to control both PCs, which suuuucks.
9:49 "You can actually turn it on and on..." Good job jay... xD
Pro-Tip: Get a Micro-USB cable with a magnetic tip - insert the tip into the mouse/keyboard and just "snap" it on via the magnet while charging. Works great with my G900. Got this from Jake (LTT)
Why don't they do this from the factory they can clearly afford it ?
i like how the camera is focused on his chest and not face
No

Thank you. I''m looking now for a wireless keyboard for my laptop, and set my eyes on this. Started to view a few vids and to my surprize, both you and Linus covered this. Keep up the good work!
Don't buy this it's awful for typing on, and the keys are wobbly & mushy. I've owned one for a year and never regretted a purchase more.l
Jay: This keyboard is super expensive Me: *laughs in $200 keycaps*
Just spent a little more than 200 for the mito lazer keycap set. I smile on the outside while my wallet hurts on the inside.
I have yet to actually buy a keycap set over $100, but the board I'm using cost $360 in parts, never mind the time spent building it
@@rdizzel1 laser is fantastic though, nice on!
Dam
@@bradfordc8011 I think my whole setup is a little over 500 if you include the wrist rest. Obviously not necessary but I was introduced to r/mechanicalkeyboards and got sucked in to the lifestyle
That Destiny engram light in the background though...nice.
Destiny fckin sucks anymore. Super lazy dev team that adds stories you have to go do the same missions over and over for different things.....infinite garbage grind.
I have the Tactile version of the G915 for my portable ITX rig and it was worth the money for me. It makes setting up and breaking down so much simpler.
I so love this keyboard. Been with me now for a year. Superb and well designed, love it even if you're just a casual gamer
Back to basic, really like this old kinda JayzTwoCent "studio" style reviewing style.
jay: *talks about keyboard all video* me: *ignoring everything he says drooling over the 1le on his monitor*
I have the G513 at $189 linear and it's worth every penny, as a gamer, but would be happy with a single color scheme without all the fancy wavy patterns and stuff. I do like the ability to colorize each and every key a different color. Makes finding a particular key or set of keys very easy, in the dark and I like a low lit room. Godspeed!
I have the G815 and I have been very happy with the choice. I selected the linear switches and don't really notice much of a difference in sound from the clicky demonstration you gave. I paired it with the G604 wireless mouse with lightspeed and it's nice the G815 has a USB port on the right side that the dongle can use. I have no noticeable lag at all. Considering the price difference between the G815 and the G915, for me the choice was a no brainer.
BEST SCENE IS FROM "WANTED" WITH KEY CAPS FLYING EVERYWHERE
Before this video started I knew exactly what keyboard this was about. Given the micro keys, weight, and overall ascetics, I don’t regret the buy at all
Agreed, best keyboard I have own so far
The only keyboard that will make me put the G915 away will be its successor. Nothing I've used or owned has ever compared.
For me, this keyboard is the best i've ever owned! I got the linear switches, which are silent! As in crazy silent! Its ez to clean because of the flat cover under the key caps, it really does hold battery life long, i totally forgot i had to charge it until a few minutes ago, I havent charged it in over a week. I have personally not had any issues with the lightspeed, and i experienced the dongle working out the box with no software installs also, albeit with only the standard light features available ofc. So if there is something i would change its probably the lack of options to change the light and onboard profiles from the keyboard itself. And 1 critique point, but this might be my pc or mouse too, which is i cant use my Razer Naga mouse while charging the keyboard, i suspect this to not be the keyboard's fault but rather my Bus reaching its capacity. I used the ligthspeed with my tv over a distance of at least 6-7 meters no issues what so ever. And i have a wifi signal in the same area within the same frequency range too, so i can't really complain this, may be due to a driver update in the meantime between Jayz review and my purchase, but on all fronts: Build quality, Looks, Size, lighting, programmability, accesible to clean, surface wear over time, switches, loudnesss, speed, spacing, macros, battery life, portablity, weight, height to wrist. ALL of these, this is by far the best keyboard i've had, and the first ive not had issues with on any of these fronts, + the software which is light, fast (unlike razers garbage), and it has full programmability through LUA. There simply is no contest! I used to think of Logitech as a bit of a misguided brand who focused on unnessecary shit such as CPU gages, and other stuff that would just eat power and performance, heavy and just plain stupid razer and coshair shit for people with no fashion sense and anti-minimalism issues. I find that the G915 is a polar opposite to what logitech once were! Call me a posh arsehole, but i honestly think a lot of gamer branded shit, and weeb and or nerd culture fashion, is tasteless and childish. So for the first time i actually feel like i found a product who has the scandinavian minimalistic clean look, that encompass me, and i feel like there finally is a product for the fancy minimalism gamer minority i feel i belong to :). No disrespect to all the weebs and nerds who like their german christmas lights and ktich styles, they are just not for me! So again best periferal purchase ive ever made.
I have no one but two of this (mine and my wife's one) and for me it is a wonderful keyboard. I have mine connected via "lightspeed" to my pc, but in a touch i switch it to my iPad and works like a charm. The aestethics are superb, the build quality is also very good and it is an extremely easy keyboard to clean and to keep clean. The rgb works fantastic and is really fun to se how the keyboard illuminates in orange in pair with the progress bar in Factorio, or the color schemes in Bordelands3 (F keys in blue showing your remaining shield). Also the battery life is awesome. Maybe 2 weeks between charges. Maybe it is a bit annoying, but pairing the keyboard via bluetooth to your pc and switching between connection types as you need would be a solution.
would love to see you do a vid on building your own mechanical keyboard.
"ive spent too much on this keyboard" Apple: introducing the new apple monitor stand for 999
@@Axiarus I just looked at Amazon and all the best rated pro stands are around only $50-100.
@@guidomonto3742 Umm... you know "pro" is just a marketing thing. Most products marketed as "pro" are not actually pro. Furthermore, most real pro monitor stands are probably on the last page on Amazon due to the price tag and the low amount of pro users. Take the "Macbook pro" for example. It's labeled as "pro," but most models are not pro at all. Remember Radeon Pro graphics? (ex. Radeon Pro 555, Radeon Pro 560X, etc) They are in fact, not pro at all! (They're actually really trashy for a discrete graphics card.)
@@ryanwangpiano so I spent maybe 2 minutes looking up high quality stands and yeah, apple is a rip off. If you pay more than 200 you're a fool.
@@Gingenuity well, I don't think Apple is directed towards consumers. I'm not an Apple fanboy (in fact I prefer PC's over iMacs by a large margin) but a lot of Apple's stuff is directed towards prosumers/professionals/stuff like that. Take their 5k XDR monitor, for example. It's very very expensive, and thus many people consider it very overpriced, but the thing is, it's not directed towards normal consumers, as it has a lot of features that only professionals will appreciate, such as the extremely high sustained brightness and XDR feature. That's why according to most tech experts, that monitor is actually an insane bargain because it is actually the cheapest XDR monitor on the market and all the other features that it contains make it comparable to other 10k+ monitors. (Yeah, I didn't even know these existed.)
@@Gingenuity Furthermore, saying you spent 2 minutes "researching" stuff and then immediately jumping to conclusions about companies is a disgrace to all the real tech experts people who spent months, maybe even years researching things. YOU would be a fool to think that you can understand companies' business models in 2 minutes. And I can immediately see that your research is misleading and inaccurate. Spending more than 200 bucks on Apple makes you a fool? So spending 199.99 buying overpriced AirPod pros when you could buy similar products for less than 50 bucks is a "great decision?" On the contrary, did you also know that the LG Ultrafine, the monitor that Apple uses for their 27'' iMacs, costs 1200 bucks? Thus the $1800 entry-level 27'' iMac "actually" costs (excluding the monitor) 600? Go build me a PC with a 6 core unlocked i5 and an RX 580 (a GPU that's similar in performance to a 5300) for 600 bucks. I know right? Literally impossible. So please, stop fooling yourself. You are the one being a fool here.
Been using the G813 (that's the wired version) for a year. The fully customizable LED's are perfect for my dim lighting. Quality is top-notch. Wouldn't swap it.
I just bought it from Amazon (UK) over a 5 month tick (£40~ a month) which helps massively for keeping the sting down. I also wonder if switching from Lightspeed to standard Bluetooth connectivity (via the keyboard button) when out of range would be the simple fix to moving around the room. I imagine Lightspeed would be aimed at a single fixed seating position since you're hardly going to need it to search Netflix on your TV
getting mine tomorrow, i just want less cables to make my desk cleaner. I'm only keeping my cabled logitech pro X (with DAC) headset as wireless fucks the sound quality
Und bist du immer noch zufrieden? :-) Wie dumm, dass die Zusatztasten nicht beleuchtet sind.
@@rednick.outdoor2584 Ich bin sehr glücklich !
I just purchased mine. It feels sweet mybother mechanical keyboard keeps alwaysbfelt too high and slowed my typing speed.
Jay: "I am not the fastest typer, I top out about 101 words a minute.." Me: **slinks off with her 30 WPM speed**
Typeracer will make you improve pretty quickly. Within 1000 races I learned a new layout, Colemak, went from 5 wpm to 100+. I did it during downtime in class.
@@KallyNui That's cheating. No wonder I rarely get 1st on typeracer. I use the traditional layout haha
It's the thinking, not the typing.
@@KallyNui I went from 20 to 60 with nitro type but granted that was a chromebook keyboard
@@leodf1 there's actually skill based matchmaking in typeracer so..
Just bought this today replace a loud Keychron K1 Love the red switches and low profile switches. Super comfortable to type on. Bought it for $280 CAD tax in I would have kept it except it’s not USB C which is a deal breaker in 2021 (unfortunately I will be returning it). When they refresh this TKL version with USB C, then it’s a must buy for me
I feel like if the 815 had a tkl version while keeping the low profile switches I might have considered that, but for now I'm definitely looking at the 915 tkl with tactile switches. Especially since the 915 tkl is currently selling for like $180 at best buy.
Everyone: He's a fast typer Me: what kinda chair is that
Looks like the chair I have: www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs/ergonomic-chair the headrest and top of backrest are identical. I would recommend it
@@OtakuSanel are the elbow rests comfortable or hard ?
@@Fuzzboy100 They are a hard rubber. so more comfortable than hard plastic, but they aren't soft
he’s already talked about the chair
Me: *looks down at my own 915 and wireless pro* *Nodding to video accordingly* Good choices Jay, I absolutely love mine! I get about 1-2 weeks of battery life on my g915 keeping it on static lighting, and I swear my wireless pro only needs charging like once a year, it's amazing.
I got the same setup. G915 Keyboard and G Pro Wireless mouse. I also add a Pro X wireless Shroud Edition headphones. I love the keyboard. Best keyboard I've own to date.
I love this keyboard, bought the wired one though since I FINALLY built a desk and a screen so no more living room/pc wireless setup needed, plus I wanted usb passthrough for my G604. I specifically wanted the thinnest rgb keyboard possible to avoid wrist strain, since I use my pc religiously and the G613 wasn't cutting it for the extensive hours I use my pc for on a daily basis.
"look at all this human skin!" rimworld players around the world immediately thought of huge profits
If we can't sell it, well we eat it then.
Thats a lot of leather hats...
Underrated: When he mentioned the LG C9 OLED. Just got one last week. So amazing.
I know I felt good knowing I have the tv and the keyboard lol
@@sambert96 Same! lol
Great review Jay. I have the K470 and I'm using it about 2m from my desktop and it works great. Oh I'm disappointed with your cable management behind your speakers (16:28 Minutes). :D
2:00 Future proof HDMI Emachines: HOLD MY BEER 🤣😂
When you switched to the Shure SM7b it sounded so much worse than your camera audio. I sounded like a headset mic.
I was just thinking the same, the camera sounded fuller and richer. The Shure was thin and tinny.
@@smartroadbiker it wasn't because of the shure tho, he (or phil) must've set something wrong, maybe didnt record in a well treated room so he removed the low frequencies to get rid of other noise
Andy Young you’re right but going from that fuller sound to the shure was kinda weird and didn’t sound that great at first. It really should sound a lot better.
@@hahagager judging by the fact that the camera mic picked up noise (such as PC, or outside noise), I'm guessing the shure picked it up aswell and made it a lot more pronounced, so they removed the low frequencies to get rid of that noise, remaining with just the high frequencies and a thin sound
Winter Frost that’s exactly what it sounds like. But for a $400 dynamic microphone I would think that’s not necessary.
I was literally searching for reviews for this keyboard this morning! Mostly for key switch differences.
I have the wired version, the switches are super light to smack and its not a bad keyboard however I don't like the lack of a location bump on the S key like my other keyboards and if you usually use a non logi board you'll have to get used to all the keys being kinda slid over by a few keys.
The key switches are actually re branded Kailh Choc switches so if you really want to make sure you buy the right keyboard before dropping that much money I suggest buying a little assorted pack to get an idea of which ones you like best. That's what I did and it made the decision a lot easier, kinda.
I’ve bought all 3 back in November to test the switches myself before committing to this keyboard and landed on Clicky just like @JayzTwoCents. Linear and Tacticle just felt too mushy even for a low-profile keyboard. Yes, the Clicky is loud so if you don’t have a dedicated room where you use this keyboard it will annoy everyone around you. Overall it’s a great keyboard and I’ve had no connectivity problems with it whatsoever. Only annoying thing to me is that you can’t change the colors of the M1/M2/M3 buttons at the top or even turn them off. They’re always yellow. Wish they made a TKL version of it - I would buy one immediately.
I'm on my second Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000. There is a delay to wake back up but like other kits, 2 AAA batteries lasts around 6 months. It's very comfortable due to the curve of the keyboard. It feels more natural for a wireless, portable keyboard. I do have the 10 key num pad, but I rarely use it just because it's a separate pad. I might have to look for a well reviewed BT keyboard in the future with that built-in as I really do miss it. (Staying away from 2.4ghz stuff as I have several pieces of equipment that could interfere with it).
I got this keyboard recently when it went on sale for around $169 (can't remember if it was +/- $10). I got the linear switches, and I am actually loving it. I was using a mechanical keyboard that I enjoy, but unfortunately, during meetings where I need to talk and take notes simultaneously, it was too loud. My current issue with the keyboard is that the RGB settings keep resetting; also, I wished it was easier to program some of the light effects or at least have better presets. Overall I do agree that this keyboard is in the high end, but I think it is worth it when it goes on sale if it fits your needs.
When he made the comment about sending keycaps flying everywhere after clubbing an intruder, Phil should've edited in the scene from "Wanted" in the beginning of the movie where the main character quits his job and smacks a coworker (the "Chad" of the office space) across the face with an old Mechanical keyboard. They did a slow-mo shot of the keycaps flying through the air.

i love logitec so much. i still have my 7-8 year old G11 xD even renovated it :P
wish u could renovate mine smh
Still have my g15
I have the TKL version and honestly I love it. I also have the G512, which supposedly uses clicky switches as well. Obviously it is nowhere near as nice. The low profile switches and keys feel much better.
Been using the tactile wired version (G815) for quite some time now. Definitely recommend it
@ 5:44 "I'm not the fastest typer" "I top out at 105 WPM" Me: 😳 I can't believe he said that with a straight face. 105 is blazing fast bro. Normal is 50 - 60 WPM.
I'm wondering if he meant characters per minute.
typeracer considers 40-55 wpm to be pro and 30-40 to be average which I would agree with. 105 really is blazing fast
r/humblebrag
Redo redo redo.
I had to do a test, i got 75 wpm with a 60% keyboard lol hes insane
"not the fastest typer" with 100 words per minute sure thing, bud
aha those who are mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, so people who spend like roughly $400 CAD on just the keyboard case, usually hits around 140 so he is probably comparing himself to those people
Dinahi i can do 100-120 on the school chrome book 😂 just practice man
I've never bothered to measure my speed, but it gets the job done.
I've written 100 when I was 10.. it's not really fast unless u don't spend time on pc
100 isnt fast unless you're comparing to people who don't use computers
Man! I'm in LOVE with your setup. I too WAITED on a mechanical keyboard. I just bought (last week) the G613 wireless to go with my G603 mouse. So far, so good. I love it because there is zero latency due to LIGHTSPEED. I really dislike the whole RGB thing and the pricing that goes with the extra cost. I always wait until the pricing on these types of things drops. Only paid $80 brand new for the keyboard.
Is the keyboard any good and has anything broken down? I'm looking for a keyboard but don't really want to pay 150 euros
When he said about the clubbing an intruder with keyboard, I thought of this scene: kzhead.info/sun/lduMmt1omIOndH0/bejne.html lmao.
