The Logitech G915 X LIGHTSPEED is a full-sized wireless model that continues the G915 lineup of low-profile mechanical gaming keyboards. Compared to the lineup's previous generation Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED, this new model brings several build quality changes. These include a slightly thicker aluminum top plate and new doubleshot PBT keycaps, which typically provide better durability over ABS keycaps and aren't as prone to developing a shiny or slippery finish with extended use. Other minor changes include redesigned keycap legends and minor software tweaks, such as the ability to program macros to any key on the keyboard, not just the dedicated macro keys.

We've also reviewed the wired version of this keyboard, the Logitech G915 X. For more information, see the Differences Between Variants section.

Our Verdict

0.0
Gaming 

The Logitech G915 X LIGHTSPEED is an amazing gaming keyboard. It has excellent build quality overall with a rigid and premium-feeling brushed aluminum top plate. It also has PBT keycaps, which are generally more durable and aren't prone to developing a shiny, slippery texture with extended use. Performance-wise, it delivers remarkably low wireless latency and is very well-suited for playing games at any competitive level in any genre.

Pros
  • Excellent build quality.

  • Remarkably low latency.

  • Per-key addressable RGB lighting and shine-through keycaps that are easy to read in the dark.

Cons
  • Only decent typing quality; some noticeable key wobble and hollow-feeling stabilization.

0.0
Office 

The Logitech G915 X LIGHTSPEED is decent for office use. It has excellent build quality, and its low-profile design makes it comfortable to use without a wrist rest. It's also relatively quiet to type on and connects wirelessly via Bluetooth. Unfortunately, it doesn't support multi-device pairing, and the typing quality is only decent. as there's some minor key wobble and larger keys have a distinctly hollow feel. Also, given its low-profile design, the switches have a fairly short travel distance which, depending on your preference, may feel a bit abrupt for everyday typing.

Pros
  • Excellent build quality.

Cons
  • Only decent typing quality; some noticeable key wobble and hollow-feeling stabilization.

  • No multi-device pairing.

0.0
Mobile/Tablet 

The Logitech G915 X LIGHTSPEED is a sub-par keyboard for tablet or mobile devices, but it isn't designed specifically for this usage. That said, it has excellent build quality and Bluetooth connectivity. Unfortunately, it doesn't support multi-device pairing. We tested the full-size model, which is quite bulky and heavy. However, there's also a smaller variant of this keyboard, the Logitech G915 X LIGHTSPEED TKL, which offers slightly better portability.

Pros
  • Excellent build quality.

Cons
  • No multi-device pairing.

  • Fairly heavy and bulky layout that's not very portable.

0.0
Programming 

The Logitech G915 X LIGHTSPEED is good for programming. It has excellent build quality with PBT plastic keycaps and a rigid aluminum top plate. It also has RGB lighting and shine-through legends that make keys clearly readable in the dark. Unlike older models in this lineup, you can program macros not only to the sets of dedicated macro keys but also to any key using the configuration software. Unfortunately, there's no support for multi-device pairing, and the typing quality is only decent with some minor key wobble and a distinctly hollow feeling on larger keys with stabilizers.

Pros
  • Excellent build quality.

  • Nine dedicated macro inputs (five keys, four buttons).

  • Per-key addressable RGB lighting and shine-through keycaps that are easy to read in the dark.

Cons
  • Only decent typing quality; some noticeable key wobble and hollow-feeling stabilization.

  • No multi-device pairing.

0.0
Entertainment / HTPC 

The Logitech G915 X LIGHTSPEED is a reasonably good keyboard for an entertainment or home theater PC setup. It has excellent build quality and a set of dedicated media keys. It also has full RGB backlighting with clear shine-through legends that are easy to read in the dark. It connects wirelessly with its 2.4GHz receiver or via Bluetooth. Unfortunately, it doesn't support multi-device pairing. Note that we tested the full-size model which is quite heavy and unwieldy to use from a couch. However, there's also a smaller TKL version available.

Pros
  • Excellent build quality.

  • Per-key addressable RGB lighting and shine-through keycaps that are easy to read in the dark.

Cons
  • No multi-device pairing.

  • Fairly heavy and bulky layout that's awkward to use from a couch.

0.0
Raw Performance 

The Logitech G915 X LIGHTSPEED has excellent raw performance with remarkably low wireless latency and a 1000Hz polling rate that isn't bottlenecked by other latency components. It's well-suited for playing games in any genre, at any competitive level.

Pros
  • Remarkably low latency.

  • 1000Hz polling rate isn't bottlenecked by other latency elements.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    The Logitech G915 X LIGHTSPEED is available in a 'Black' or 'White' colorway and with Linear, Tactile, or Clicky switch options. We bought and tested a White color model with Tactile switches. For reference, you can see an image of our unit's label here.

    There's a separate wired-only version of this keyboard called the Logitech G915 X that we've already reviewed. We've included details of the broader lineup below.

    Name Size Color Options Switch Options Connectivity
    Logitech G915 X Full-size Black Linear, Tactile Wired-only
    Logitech G915 X LIGHTSPEED Full-size Black, White Linear, Tactile, Clicky Wireless
    Logitech G915 X LIGHTSPEED TKL Tenkeyless (80%) Black, White Linear, Tactile, Clicky Wireless

    Popular Keyboard Comparisons

    The Logitech G915 X LIGHTSPEED is a capable option if you're looking for a full-size wireless, mechanical gaming keyboard with a low-profile design. It offers excellent latency performance, making it a strong choice for gaming at any competitive level, and compared to the original wireless Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED, it introduces minor but welcome build-quality improvements, including a thicker aluminum top plate and more durable PBT keycaps. Its switches also now have standard MX-style stems, which is great if you want to customize the appearance of your keyboard with aftermarket keycaps.

    However, in the broader market context, the G915 X LIGHTSPEED is relatively expensive and offers the same level of raw performance as more affordable low-profile wireless options like the Keychron K5 Max or the NuPhy Air96 V2. Additionally, it lacks some cutting-edge features found on similarly priced gaming keyboards, such as Hall-effect switches or Rapid Trigger functionality.
