Logitech G815 LIGHTSYNC RGB Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with low profile GL-Tactile switches, 5 programmable G-keys, USB Passthrough, Dedicated media controls, QWERTY UK Layout - Black

Product Information

G915 is our first keyboard to feature new, high performance low-profile GL mechanical switches that provide all the speed, accuracy, and performance of traditional switches—at half the height. Our GL switches are rigorously tested to meet strict endurance, responsiveness, and accuracy requirements. Available in three switch types: Logitech’s G Hub software is extremely accessible for those who may be new to the delights of macros and custom lighting. The rubber profile & media keys, as well as the audio wheel, feel cheaper than the rest of the keyboard Even though the Logitech G815 is thin, it is not really a compact keyboard – the many special keys need quite some space: on the left, there are five configurable macro keys (G1-G5) and above the function keys are some controls for switching profiles, managing illumination and activating / deactivating the gaming mode. Moreover, the keyboard features dedicated multimedia controls with an edgeless volume wheel. A convenient USB passthrough allows to connect an arbitrary USB device directly at the keyboard. The Logitech G815 has no wrist rest, but you could argue that due to its low-profile design, a wrist rest isn’t needed anyway. Lightsync RGB Another handy feature is Game Mode. The G815 comes with a button that deactivate keys not typically used when gaming, preventing you from accidentally hitting any of them when playing. I personally don’t think Game Mode is solving a big issue, but it’s a nice bonus to have.

Customization: Gaming keyboards allow you to remap keys to customize your keyboard command layout, so you can have each key right where you want it. The Logitech G815 Lightsync RGB also offers a set of five gaming macros which are easily accessible down the left side of the keyboard and are GL Linear switches just like the rest of the keyboard. This allows you to customise your own shortcut inputs for any game you wish. The Logitech G815 is a mechanical gaming keyboard introduced in August 2019. Together with the wireless Logitech G915, the keyboard makes the debut of Logitech’s low-profile GL switches. Low-profile Mechanical Gaming Keyboard An amusing side note is that while the Game Mode is designed to reduce the risk of accidental activation of certain keys, it's very easy to accidentally activate the other additional keys on the keyboard. Along the left side, the Logitech G815 has five macro keys and the issue is that they are so close to the others that I keep pressing G5 rather than CTRL, up to a quarter of the time. Frankly, this is the biggest irritation I have with the keyboard and I can't imagine that giving the G keys an extra few mm of space would have been difficult.The compact size of the Logitech G815 is partly owed to its low-profile keys. Some ardent gamers may not be a fan of this approach, preferring the chunky keys of your typical mechanical keyboard, but the results don’t feel too different from the norm. The trim nature of the G815 makes it more portable than most gaming keyboards and easier to move around for the occasional trip from point A to point B. But with the keyboard measuring in at 475mm long, d on’t expect to be carrying it in a small bag. Keeping on the topic of the G-Hub software, there are a wide number of customisation options. I mentioned the five G keys, you can create whatever macro you like and attach this to one of the keys. In addition to this, you have free reign to simply assign the key to launch any program at the touch of the key. Thanks to the fact you have three profiles, you do have up to fifteen macro keys at your disposal. The overall build of the Logitech is one of its most appealing features. The aluminium case makes the G815 feel like a truly modern gaming peripheral. The premium feel of the G815 is let down slightly by the plastic bottom of the keyboard, but you’ll rarely be looking at this of course. The casing feels extremely sturdy though, so you shouldn’t be concerned about damage when lugging it around.

A Logitech G gaming keyboard has features that are built for gamers while having many standard features found on a regular keyboard. The same is true for gaming mice. The best part is that gaming keyboards and mice are usually designed with ergonomics in mind, so they make excellent daily drivers for office work.
