Review on Logitech G915 TKL: Advanced Wireless, Low Profile Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Lightsync RGB - Tactile by Ahmad ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but you can do better.

The keyboard was bought for playing competitive shooters and using it with a TV. As a result, it will be used only in the second case - it is not suitable as a serious equipment for games. The main problem is the strong backlash of the buttons and the long key travel: when you press a key with your finger on which it was not lying, part of the movement is first spent on moving the button to the side, and only then it will squeeze down, and its stroke is long: all this adds to the reaction speed of 20-25ms; in principle, it is uncomfortable to press buttons that play so much - pressing because of this turns out to be unaccented. As for tactile switches, there are beautiful, but incomprehensible graphs on the logitech website about the movement of these keys . In fact, the key feels as if there is a spring under it, which, when pressed, compresses by 20% percent (that is, a slight resistance renders) and when released, it bounces back, respectively. It seems to me that the advantage of such switches is precisely in this rebound - you can release the pressed button a little faster (for example, when walking WASD), and the minus is that this resistance prevents you from quickly pressing the button repeatedly (you won’t be able to strafe in place super fast and your fingers start to get tired because of - for this resistance). It seems to me that linear mechanisms would still be better for competitive games. In general, this is just a premium, beautiful keyboard, completely unsuitable for productive use in games, and it will also be inconvenient to type a lot on it.

Pros
  • - beautiful, everything glows - there is bluetooth in addition to usb - you can use the keyboard with various devices - tactile mechanisms: in principle, a good and quiet key travel, but there are some nuances (see comments) - works well from a distance of 3 meters to the receiver - no perceptible delay due to wireless operation (at least the reaction test gives the same result as when clicking the mouse with a poll of 1000hz)
Cons
  • - terrible backlash of the keys to the sides, like on a keyboard for 100 that I had 20 years ago. - fairly long key travel - bad for reaction time - good opportunities for reassigning the functionality of the buttons, but for some reason you can only reassign the f1-f12 buttons . it's useless for games - it's inconvenient to reach for these buttons. - the keyboard has very narrow side borders - it is inconvenient to pick it up without pressing anything at the same time. - the volume control roller spins very nicely - but it's easy to accidentally hit it when using the keyboard not on the table.
