Review on Logitech Wireless Mechanical Keyboard Renewed by Cedric Edwards

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Amazing keyboard with bad software

The G915 itself is an amazing keyboard. I'd recommend the tactile version (if you can find one) as it can get pretty loud, but it didn't break the deal. It feels a bit flimsy as the keys can move horizontally, but I still find the keys quite comfortable to press. While I didn't think RGB was important, it does make this keyboard popular as it has just the right amount of RGB to be aesthetically pleasing without being obtrusive or distracting, which led to me leaving it on when using it normally would disable this feature to save battery power. Battery life has also been good so far, with my first charge lasting over a week at max brightness on RGB. This is mainly because the keyboard turns off RGB to save battery when not in use (you can control how quickly this happens in the software. My last big plus is wireless as it's great to pair with the keyboard and it helps HOWEVER: the big problem is GHub (Logitech software) which is needed to set up the keyboard, installing it caused a lot of problems for me (based on previous LGS - previous Logitech hardware setup software), interfering with my ability to record gameplay with audio or do all the voiceovers with my G430 headset while recording with software like Radeon ReLive, I found the only solution was to uninstall GHub, which isn't really a good solution is as it interferes with your ability to install macros and all sorts of other things that help make a keyboard, the keyboard itself is still good which is why I gave the B I gave it a four star rating, but for the price, it's a premium product that shouldn't be left to the customer for troubleshooting to try and resolve issues between its hardware and software. I'll have a hard time justifying buying any other Logitech hardware in the future knowing I'll have to deal with issues like this from GHub, which is a shame as I love their hardware. This review has become something of a dirty word, sorry TLDR: great keyboard, but you can avoid it if you don't want to deal with potentially painful software.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Makes me angry
