I believe your mindset is perfect for a ton of viewers. You’re a real gamer meaning competitive so you get it. No BS in presentation. One thing you can do is get ride of those cans, but a dedicated amp and DAC and run a real pair of headphones. Grab some Sennheiser 600s or 650s or man up and just grab the HD800S. Cheaper alternative that is amazing is Beyerdynamic T1 V2. Can absolutely guarantee you’ll find yourself pretty shocked with enemies placement you’ll hear due to superior imaging and sound stage especially with the essentially unmatched HD800S. Like cheating and you’ve said you’ll take the advantages. In Siege... wall bangs for days.

  • Thanks for the review! I looked at both. Definitely couldn’t justify the price of the Logitech. Also, as a Mac user, having the native keys on the Keychron boards make them a no-brainer. I ended up going with a K2 instead of the K1 - mostly because I was impatient... the K2 was in stock at the time. I’m actually looking forward to their new K3. I might pick one up when they launch. Hot swappable low profile. Sounds like a winner.

  • Hey! Huge fan of your video, extremely underrated. If you are using this keyboard (or any others with function keys) on a Mac (might be on Windows 10, not sure), you can set the function keys as your default keys, so you won't have to press "FN" to trigger them. This can also be reversed so you have to press "FN" to trigger the media keys.

  • Immaculate production quality as always! Regarding the input delay, I have some qualms with your conclusion. Keychron has a 125Hz polling rate while logitech 1000Hz. the input delay between the two is ~30ms on keychron and ~15ms on Logitech. to be fair, not a lot of people can tell a difference of 15ms delay, especially when they do not game seriously. However, if you're an avid gamer I'd strongly suggest for you to try the difference between a BT/cheap wireless keyboard and a gaming wireless keyboard (ASUS ROG, Corsair, Logitech). Personally, I, for the life of me cannot bear using a BT keyboard at all due to how terrible the delay is and the keyboard just feel unresponsive. Do remember that even until now, Logitech has the fastest wireless technology so if you compared BT against like a corsair or ROG wireless keyboard, keep in mind that logitech is even faster in that aspect. not to mention the monstrous battery life that logitech has. I charge my keyboard like every 1-2 weeks and I'm on my PC for at least 8hrs a day. back when I actually had to leave my house (yea the good ol day) I didn't charge the thing for 3 whole months. 3 whole months! is this KB even wireless? Logitech might be doing some obscure black magic to supply the keyboard with the soul of those using their cheaper peripherals as power source. Keyboard that i have used so far are Keychron K4 V2, G915, G Pro wireless, G513, K95 platinum, a custom mechanical keyboard, and a cheapass aliexpress wireless keyboard. and so far, I'm truly loving my g915 a lot. The feeling of the switch for g915 is imo not as good as a good custom mechanical keyboard at the same price point. It was bearable, and after i used krytox 205g0 on it, any keycap rattle just vanish and I'm left with a keboard that actually feels ~$150. however, I'm willing to pay a $100 premium for a better than wired input delay experience and not having to charge the keyboard every 1-2 days. I mean, if I gotta charge the keyboard every 1-2 days why bother wireless amirite? the only complaint that I'd give for g915 personally is the lack of backlighting passthrough on the 2nd symbol for number and punctuation keys and the lack of scroll lock/num lock indicator. altho, using a software like aurora/artemis to make a custom lighting indicator for scroll lock and num lock is truly amazing. but this feature really should be native to LGS/GHUB (which they haven't addressed at all till now even after tens of people suggested it). However, we cannot ignore Logitech notoriousness of pulling an "apple move" with their practices like their proprietary bullshittery, fragile keycaps (I haven't forgiven you, Romer G. even though i love your feeling), lack of spare parts supports, THE FUCKING MICRO USB (god fucking damnit it should be illegal for anything costing more than $20 to not have USB C), terrible software compared to competitive (ROG and iCue), and their lack of response from customer feedback/complaints. all in all, if you cannot feel the input delay difference, more power to you. and I envy you a lot. Wireless peripherals cost a lot and I can't bear the input delay on any subpar wireless devices. Logitech has spoiled me hard on this aspect.

    • ​@@percywhitehead9228 ​ @Percy Whitehead, It depends on your preference and circumstances. I really care about input delay because I play many high-rank games. Therefore lightspeed wireless is a high plus point for me. I also have a lot of desk space (my desk is 2m long), and I also use Numpad a lot because I work with numbers on a daily basis (Engineering). If you have limited desk space then TKL or even a 60% form factor might be preferred. You can always just buy a separate Numpad and pull it out only when you need it. For college works, you don't really need blazing fast input delay so lightspeed wireless isn't really a must-have. I'd actually recommend against buying g915 because it's very expensive for the feature it has if you remove its blazing fast input delay and long life battery. Keyboard like Ducky, Keychron, or RoyalKludge might be best if college work is your utmost priority and you type a lot. g915 really doesn't have the best typing experience for it prices, rough as it may be to accept. Sometimes, I still pullout my Keychrone K2, Ducky one, or G Pro keyboard when I'm fully immersed in typing and doesn't mind the cable. Mobility also comes into mind. Jamming a full size keyboard into your bag is probably gonna be difficult. If mobility is one of your concern, then a small form-factor low profile keyboard is probably your best choice. In that case, then the g915 TKL or Keychron K3 will be my recommendation. g915 will provide better battery life but Keychron K3 will provide better typing experience albeit slightly worse input delay. Although, the input delay difference will not be noticeable if you're only typing and not doing an intense gaming session.

  • With the K1 you can switch between Function buttons (+ Fn for media keys) to Media keys (+ Fn for Function buttons) using a key combination - it's in the paperwork for the board, can't remember it off the top of my head! The problem I've found with my K1 is that there are very very few low profile keycaps available on the market, so it's very difficult to customise. I assume the same would go for the G915 as they both use the same Kailh Choc/Gateron LP style switches. For future keyboard videos it might be worth doing a typing test so people can hear the differences too - even if they are using the same switch the chassis and keycaps would make a huge difference to the sound and feel of typing.

Presumably one can get a USB-C to micro-USB adapter? $230 is a lot for a keyboard but it's something we use multiple hours a day... we spend way more on things that matter way less. ABS keycaps is a throw off... nothing can be done about that. Why isn't there a perfect wireless + TKL board out there? MX Keys has been my daily driver... I don't mind chiclet but it's full size. TKL is like wireless, once you go either, you don't go back. And no one is making TKL 'productivity' type of board.

I would use it on my sim racing rig and not so much for gaming. what got me sold on teh Logitech was the connection issues and the wake up reaction time. in racing oviously the keybard would not be used for longer periods in between but would then have to be ready to use best immediately. Also being able to reach quickly for the volume control maybe while wearing gloves is a plus. thx for the good reviews. keep it up.

  • I think there's a keyboard setting that would enable/disable the F1-F12 switches and use the media keys instead. But that said, if you're constantly using the F keys that would be much, much, more annoying. On the Mac side of things connection is consistent, the media keys work well (and I don't use much of the F keys either). I agree that the battery life left me quite wanting for more, but overall it's a solid purchase (for me).

    • yes, hold fn + X + L I tried the Logitech g815? (with blue switches) at BestBuy and it felt so good that I went home and looked into the specs of the switches and eventually came across the low profile Keychrons that had similar travel distance. Long story short I ordered the K5 SE with clicky blue gateron mechanical switches and couldn't be happier. Logitech media controls would be nice and maybe I would have paid for the full size logitech, but the column of function keys on the left side of the logi were a dealbreaker for me and exactly why I wanted to ditch my last keyboard (corsiar k55).

  • Bought the full size G915 for £109. Was considering getting the Corsair K100 but I'm trying to make the transition to making everything wireless (it's also £223 which is silly for a keyboard). So far, so good. Coming from a guy that likes clicky switches, the linear feel is pretty good.

  • I have had the Keychron in for a couple of weeks now. I'm really happy with it. I went for the blue switches. They're pretty loud and definitely not suited for the workplace. You can lock the F-keys to the media control setting. On bluetooth it lasts a full day with backlight on. The key are not very legible without the backlight so I mostly use it corded. All in all I can recommend getting it. Especially for the price it's good value.

  • Super timely review as I'm struggling with the decision between these two right now. I think I'm leaning towards the G915 but man that is a harsh $ premium for basically a (much) superior battery and keyboard feet... basically everything else I would probably give the edge to the keychron. I dont know why Keychron cheaped out on the battery, if they had just gone with a 4000 ma battery instead of downsizing to a 2000 ma it probably would be a no brainer. Gj on the review!

  • I've been waiting for this review. People don't seem to realize other low-profile mechanical keyboards exist. I just want Logitech to sober up because they're drunk. Thank you for being honest and objective. Big channel reviewers are either biased or have not really compared it to plausible competitors like the Keychron (Linus, Hardware Canucks, etc). You're essentially paying for Logitech's ads. Very good considering this is only your second review. BTW, the Bluetooth problems you have is definitely a Windows problem.

    • The logitech has a massive battery advantage though, which is its main strength. I mean if you're making a wireless keyboard what should be the one area you go all out on? THE BATTERY. Logitechs 40 hour minimum (with lighting active) should be the *minimum* benchmark.

Logitech was really good at getting user-replaceable batteries before. For a keyboard that expensive, I intend for it to last longer than its warranty.

  • LOL, I currently have the Keychron K1 v4 and got the G915 TKL so you've made the perfect video for me. I can say a few things coming from the Keychron and going the other direction. Firstly, there is nothing wrong with the Keychron and it's an amazing keyboard. I plan on keeping it and using it with my work computer. The things the Keychron doesn't have that I miss are very minor and most people probably wouldn't notice. For me, I like having individually programmable LED Keys. Having WSAD and PrintScreen lit in a very low red is amazing when I'm playing a game with all my lights off. The Keychron only has pre-programmed light modes and I find that all of them reflect an unnecessary light off the screen at night. I also like the Logitech G-Hub software (I know it sucks sometimes) I have a Logitech mouse and the ability to set my keys to do anything I want is very helpful. The Keychron just doesn't have the same features. You can tell the Keychron comes from a smaller company. It's very well done and in 99% of cases it would be all you need, but in the pursuit of the perfect setup (for me) it just falls a little bit short. That being said, for the price you absolutely cannot beat the Keychron. But if you get to a point in your life where price doesn't matter as much, or if you are a but once cry once kind of person you should get the Logitech.

  • I love the Keychron, but that battery life is just terrible. Also, if you accidentally hit the light switch, which you probably will as it's on the corner of a frameless case, then you have to cycle through the whole list of lighting effects just to get back to the one you want. They should change the implementation so you hold down the lightswitch, and select the number of the effect you want. They should also replace the OS mode switches with dip switches for each profile, that way you don't have to change modes every time you change profiles.
