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
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.
- Exceptionally low latency.
- Low profile switches feel very responsive.
- Fully customizable RGB backlighting.
- Dedicated macro keys.
- No included wrist rest.
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.
- Great build quality.
- Typing noise is minimal.
- Shouldn't cause fatigue, even after long periods of use.
- No included wrist rest.
- Typing quality is only decent.
- short pre-travel may lead to more typos.
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.
- Connects wirelessly with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth.
- Rechargeable battery advertised to last 30 hours.
- Feels sturdy and well-built.
- Some keys don't work on iOS and iPadOS.
- Software isn't available on Android.
- Fairly large and heavy.
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.
- Great build quality.
- Fully customizable RGB backlighting.
- Dedicated macro keys.
- No included wrist rest.
- Typing quality is only decent.
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.
- Fully customizable RGB backlighting.
- Connects wirelessly with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth.
- 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.
Popular Keyboard Comparisons
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.
