Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL Tactile - Black

its over priced

When I found out about this keyboard, I was immediately intrigued. The styling and layout are nice. I am coming from a Logitech MX Mechanical with the Clicky (blue) keys, which I really love. I have never liked tactile switches, and I do not like linear at all. I had to special order my MX because none of the retailers stocked the version with the Clicky keys. My main complaint with the MX Mech is the keycaps. I can not stand the smooth plasticy feel of the ABS, and they pick up finger oils like no keycaps I have ever seen. After seeing the G515 I was curious to try it out, however the price was a point of contention. I had already paid a lot to get the MX, which I thought was overpriced to begin with. So $120+ for another keyboard was a big ask. And there also is no option for Clicky switches, only tactile and linear. Really would like to see a Clicky option. I ended up getting a pretty good deal on a Used-Good Condition for around $72. Expected it to show up with issues, so tried to not get overly excited about it. To my surprise the keyboard showed up in its' original box, with all accessories and documentation included. I see some recent reviews of users complaining about the board having a slight upwards bow to it, keeping the center foot from making contact. My unit exhibited the same issue, so I assume I got the unit one of those buyers returned. I was able to easily solve this by flexing the board carefully in the opposite direction until the board was close to flat when relaxed. The board now sits flush on the table. Outside of that, I have not noticed any other issues in the few weeks I have been using it. One thing I would like to correct that I see almost all reviews get wrong is that the keyboard is fully plastic. While the majority of the body is indeed plastic, the top plate beneath the keys is steel. Not aluminum, STEEL. You can easily verify this by sticking a magnet to it. The steel plate is what gives this board such a hefty feel. I am undecided if steel or aluminum is the better choice for the plate. Keycaps. The keycaps on the G515 are far superior to the ones on the MX Mech. Not only are they PBT, but they also have a moderate texture on the surface, which I think feels quite nice. I've seen some reviews that say the texture is too rough, and I can understand their position, but I feel like this level of texture is a good balance and should wear nicely. They keys also feel much denser and substantial than the ABS caps on the MX Mech. Logitech should make a replacement keycap set for the MX and send them out to anyone to anyone who requests them. The stock keycaps are pretty bad. Unfortunately the MX has some non-standard shaped keys, so the keycaps of the G515 will not work. One thing you should take note of is that the lettering on the G515 keycaps are clear/transparent. Logitech did this to increase the light transmission from the LEDs beneath the keys, but this makes the keycaps impossible to read in almost any lighting condition. You are basically forced to keep the backlight on at all times so you can see the keys. I'm am ok with this, but you should take note if that will be a problem for you. Key switches. I much prefer a clicky switch, but I decided I would give the G515 with tactile switches a try anyway. I am glad I did. These tactile switches feel much better than any tactile switch I have used before. I am unsure if it's a result of the switches being pre-lubed, a slightly modified design, or influenced by the nicer keycaps. Maybe a combination of all those factors. What I can say is that the overall feel is pretty good. Overall I am liking this keyboard a lot. It feels premium, the keycaps feel nice, the switches feel great, and the heft is nice. I'm not really bothered by the rest of the plastic chassis, since it in no way feels cheap. For the original price of around 120 (sale price) I might be a tiny bit more picky. That is a lot to spend on a keyboard afterall. I can not blame the person that returned the unit I ended up buying used if they felt the quality did not meet the price point they had paid. I certainly would be more critical if the price was closer to the MSRP of 160. The only things I would like to see improved are the connectivity options. The MX Mechanical allows you to have the USB dongle connection, plus 2 bluetooth devices. I would like to see the G515 updated to allow for at least 2 bluetooth devices, preferably 3. Logitech could allow remapping the game button function to pair another bluetooth device instead.

Damn near perfect. It can use the same receiver as my G502-X wireless mouse, so one less USB port as well. Just everything I wanted; a straight forward TKL keyboard. I liked it so much I bought a second as a spare. Minor downsides: - You can't control the light theme via the keyboard; just the brightness; the default theme is a gimmick gamer theme. - it's a tad harder to get my hands just right with it being so slim, so I have to adjust a bit more than normal to speed type - the LED lights have like a 50hz strobe to them or something, so if you turn your head quick, you'll see a flicker from the backlight. If you turn off the backlight though, it's pretty hard to see the key caps - it could still be a bit quieter to type on, but it is quieter than most the mechanical keyboards I've bough. You have to mod things to get them even quieter. - given how its low profile, I figure it should have come with a carrying case so I could travel with it. - the Pause button isn't called the pause button, but it works like a pause button still at least. - while I don't use macs, I notice there are no keycaps provided to add a cmd button, and no switch to flip to mac mode - the wireless functionality seems pointless; I bought the wireless version just because it happened to be cheaper. Works fine in USB mode though

muy buen teclado, el unico pero es que obvio es reducido y no trae ñ pero primer teclado premium y muy bueno, rinde la pila, luce bien y se siente y reacciona bien, lo que me costo lo valio

O teclado tem uma construção bem sólida e tem bom acabamento. É pesado, o que dá uma impressão de qualidade. A sensação ao digitar é boa, embora o som das teclas não seja tão bom quanto alguns teclados premium. Os switches são marrons, portanto não são tão silenciosos - tem um som médio, e oferecem um certo feedback. A iluminação RGB é muito bonita, e pode ser configurada de várias maneiras através do software GHUB. Gostei da opção de pareamento por lighspeed (USB) e Bluetooth. Conectei no Macbook pelo BT e no PC pelo USB, e posso alternar entre os dois rapidamente através dos botões na parte superior do teclado. Também há a opção de conectar diretamente através de um cabo USB-C. O teclado "acorda" rapidamente, o que é uma característica importante para produtividade. Um defeito é o fato da iluminação ter que ficar ligada sempre, pois sem ela não é possível ver os caracteres nas teclas (na versão black do teclado). Outra coisa que faltou foi botões dedicados para mídia. Neste teclado, para aumentar o volume, dar play/pause, etc, é necessário apertar a tecla FN (Function) e as teclas da fileira superior.

I bought this keyboard this month to use for work and gaming. Really good, discrete sound (can bring it to the office), does not take too much space, and has an incredible feeling and sound to it. Really easy to type in the keyboard without making many errors, and I was able to adapt to it incredibly quickly. It also has an amazing creamy sound - as opposed to the clacky sound my old mechanical keyboard had - making it less annoying to type on it throughout my day. Overall recommend you buy it: cheaper than other options with an incredible quality without, no delay on the wireless system and matches exactly what I was looking for!
