The Logitech G915 Lightspeed Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is a solid keyboard choice

Logitech recently sent me one of their G915 Lightspeed wireless RGB mechanical gaming keyboards to review, and it was a great keyboard. It’s easy to set up, use, and has some fun features.

One of the first things I look for in a piece of technology is how easy it is to set up and get started. This was very simple. You can use the Lightspeed connection or bluetooth depending on your preferences. I recommend the lightspeed connection as the connection is better and you can use a dongle to connect more devices (I use it to connect my logitech mouse).

I appreciate how easy the buttons at the top are at telling you what they do. To activate the game mode, for example, just touch the button that looks like a joystick and that’s it, very easy. I also really like the fact that the volume control is a roller, it makes adjusting the volume really quick and less annoying than hearing a button click. The click if you get the clickable version is very satisfying for typing, even if it’s something you enjoy.

I also really appreciate not only having a play/pause button, but a readily available rewind and skip option across the top. Works great for Spotify. I’m a little disappointed that on YouTube rewind and fast forward only allow you to rewind or skip forward through videos in a playlist, but the play/pause button works just fine. You can also adjust the brightness of the lights with the brightness button, but you can also hold it down and press the 0-9 keys to get different effects, as well as use the – and + keys to adjust the speeds. This was quite fun to play and allows for some quick keyboard light adjustments.

Speaking of lighting, this keyboard offers a lot of possibilities. While you can’t do much with just the keyboard itself, the G Hub app will let you customize it with tons of different colors and lighting effects. It also comes with built-in memory, so if you switch devices you can keep all your settings, which is great.

There are just a few downsides I’ve found to the keyboard. For me personally, I can’t get it to rest at the right angle. There are two different heights you can adjust it to, so this will really come down to sort of personal preference depending on you and your palm rest situation. I also have trouble keeping the height lower by setting my feet when moving the keyboard around my desk. If you’re like me and move it around a lot to work on other things at your desk, keep in mind that you might need to get those feet out again. I really don’t have that problem with the highest setting being good. Another disadvantage is also a personal preference, I would like the symbols that don’t light up to be put in a more contrasting color. I understand the aesthetics, but it’s hard for me to read the symbols quickly. My office tends to be a little dark which definitely doesn’t help matters, I just wanted a little more contrast. But if you have a well-lit office and a better view than mine, you probably won’t have a problem. My final con is that I occasionally get a button to press without clicking. It’s super weird and doesn’t happen very often, I’m not entirely sure how I manage to do that to be honest. Only once in a while do I brush my hand over a key and it activates.

Overall, I really like this keyboard. It’s easy to use, the buttons are quick and responsive, and the color settings are really fun to play with. My main complaints are honestly down to personal preference, and even then I still think it’s a great keyboard. I would give it an 8/10. You can get yours from Logitech for $229.99 today.
