Bought it with reds, but the seller sent me one with browns. Fantastic keyboard, but I got pretty used to linears for the past year and now the tactiles just feel kind of scratchy and hard to press. I'm trying to return it so I can get it with linears, but even if I cant I'm planning to keep it
I went with the tactile over the linear because I also type but don’t like the noise of the clicks. Best keyboard I have typed on and makes my setup look really clean. I also like that they now have a tkl version now for anyone interested. Yes these are expensive but boy do they feel good.
@@IBKade How is your typing with the linear? I'm facing the same dilemma as Dianne right above. :) Any double typing when you move fast or things like that? Did you have to switch your typing style to compensate for the absence of the "slight" bump the Tactile switches offer? Great review btw!
Is there stability between the leg and the button .. Because some reviews and the Hardware Canucks channel said the N button has broken .. ?? I like the G915 keyboard because it is wireless and elegant .. I will choose the linear version
@@IBKade something modern that's a similar feel. I just ordered a g915 linear based on your vid. We'll see if I like it. I currently have two keyboards side by side hopefully this blends their functionality so I can reduce my keyboard footprint on my desk.
I still use the k740 illuminated, it's always been my favourite. Mu current one is starting to show old age so I'm checking around for alternatives atm. G915/815 are my top picks so far. Low profile mechanical kbs are Ltd Ed
Oh yea I don't like that either. Truth be told I love Logitech mouses but as for keyboard not that many. I do like the g915 tho even tho it's a bit pricey
For heavy typing or work purposes, are you happy and comfortable with the linear switch? A lot of people say that clicky and tactile are best for typing. I like the most silent keyboard though for G915, I’m confused whether or not I should get linear or stick to tactile.
Dianne Tajudar I have had the tactile version for a few months now traditional keyboards feel weird to me now. They now have a tkl version now that I actually just ordered for my living room setup.
Hi all. I had the clicky version and it was slightly better at typing on than the tactile I have now. I sent the clicky back it was just to loud to be honest. The tactile feels very good to and I like the thud sound when typing. the thing is the tactile can be as quiet or loud as you want it as it all depends on how hard you hit the keys. The clicky did not matter how hard or soft it was just clicky. I now sent that back for the tkl version tactile as I waited ages for that version which never came until now. Lucky I had the g915 for only two weeks as I never use the num pad. The k740 when I bought it was built with quality components and was expensive but now I herd there just made cheaply.
Same here. Im currently using the K740 and been using it since 2008 and i love the way how the keys feedback. Buttery soft, quiet, and you don’t have to put too much effort pressing the keys. How does the G915 Linear feel and the quietness compare to the K740 when typing?
Heya, Im one of those K740 lovers. Ive been using that keyboard since it came out for coding, typing and gaming and haven't been able to switch to anything yet. I ordered some mechanical keyboards but they just cant match my k740. Still im looking for something that is more durable and a bit less mushy that still compares otherwise. Would you say you now prefer this to the K740 and if so why? Thanks for your review!
Welcome to the club! Yes I use this keyboard for work as I type a lot there. And did you know the soft cushion actually protects your fingers? As for home I do have the Logitech g915 but still it doesn't compare to the k740 but it's a bit speedy for games. So yes I always come back to the k740. It'd the best
i have that same keyboard you have...the "k740?" I love it to type on as well but I want something tenkeyless, which the G915 also has a version of. I love how quiet the keys are on my current keyboard so wish they had something similar without the keypad for mouse ergonomics. So I am looking at this one and the Hexgear X-1.
Hi there! So I have yet to find anything in the market that can be similar to K740. One thing however that the G915 mimics is the low profile that is a bit similar but the feeling of typing on it is so much different than the K740. I will say the G915 has its own charm however as far as mechanical keyboards go. I got the cherry red linear switch which makes typing on this keyboard smooth and fun. This keyboard isn't that quiet btw. It is about as loud as any mechanical keyboard. And I actually use the ten keys for work so I couldn't get that Hexgear X-1 but that one does look sweet but not sure how much i'll like those mini tenkeyless on the picture. As for G915, I think if you get the clicky blues, you'll like it a lot as far as how it feels to type. Ergonomics is great on the G915 since its low btw, so great for your wrist too. Let me know what you do!
@@IBKade Thanks much for the reply. I actually just ordered the G915 red linear version this morning. I almost went with the Hexgear but read some complaints of input lag. Usually can't go wrong with Logitech.
Hey man, I am coding from home as well and I really want to upgrade to a different keyboard (using a cheap ass membrane keyboard). The only thing that I am worried about is that even the linear switches would be too loud for an office environment. I really like this keyboard and that issue is the only thing holding me back from buying it.... Would u recommend this on a floor with lots of people ?
How did I miss this question? Im so sorry. But the answer is yes, they would be annoyed because I had it and everyone could hear it lol. I had an open office plan. Hope you got something more quiet!
Is it just me or did they fail with G-hub with this keyboard? I have the TKL version and gshift only works on f and macro keys. I would love to have seen layers especially on the tkl version and allow re-mapping of any key not just the function keys.
There are few things they could do better for sure. I've been using this for a few months now and I have some thoughts about it. I do think they're improving g-hub but you're right, it would be so cool if they could re-map any key!
Yeah I do love the keyboard feels really good. I'm just used to layers for a numpad on a tkl keyboard. The full size it doesn't really matter. It's a shame the mouse seems less restrictive in ghub.
It is still pretty loud. But this is lower profile so a bit better than keys that go in deeper. However if you're concerned about noise, this keyboard is not silent at all.
Great Video! For programming I can see this being a perfect keyboard to me but for FPS gaming, I have to see. XD I could easily break those keys I feel but I could be wrong.
Haha thanks! Yes these keys are a bit more fragile than the Razer's. If you want Sturdy key caps and feel, than the analog switches are exactly like that. Strong as logs they feel lol
Got mine yesterday.... Hardcore gamers always bashing Logitech.... But they haven't gamed and typed on this.... It's a different league. I have the clicky ones... Only wished the RGB customization would be more extensive.
listen i know this video would have taken awhile to make and i am not one bit hating but could you please make these types of videos shorter. thank you for making this video anyway.
Hi there! Thank you for the honest feedback. To be honest every video I make, it's a new challenge where I learn a ton from it. I will take note of your advice and try to make it shorter and more interesting so thanks! I just made a brand new Galaxy S21 video which I feel has come a long way from this if you want to check that one out. And I'll try getting better as time goes by!
hey man why aren't you answering the door, I was out there for like an hour? I heard you typing btw

It's the best. Are you saying you want a new replacement? Or the same one

@@IBKade I bought the g613 just to give it to try..don't really like it. And it's loud AF
Oh yea I don't like that either. Truth be told I love Logitech mouses but as for keyboard not that many. I do like the g915 tho even tho it's a bit pricey
Which keyboard would you recommend if you had to pick only 1? The K740 or the G915?
For heavy typing or work purposes, are you happy and comfortable with the linear switch? A lot of people say that clicky and tactile are best for typing. I like the most silent keyboard though for G915, I’m confused whether or not I should get linear or stick to tactile.

Henry Addy-Grigsby I just got a used one for 150 pounds I can’t wait how do you like it
What happened to that hyperx alloy fps keyboard that you had?
any ideas how does it compare to keychron k1 v4 tkl? i mean typing experience..
I sent my g915 back which I bought 2weeks ago and replacing it for a g915 Tkl version which just been released.
Fantastic keyboard but pricey
The funny thing is I upgraded from the same keyboard as you a k740 to the g915 and now to the g915 tkl. I had the k740 for 8 years I think

I have this keyboard and its awesome! no regrets. except reseller only had tactile wishing I had linear.
Yep it's pretty nice! The tactile is not too bad. Is it the clicky? If it is, I think it's fun to type on. I got linear due to less noise.
G915 or apex pro ?
If I want only typing not gaming g740 or g915?
staples $10 generic
It seems to be deleted my answer. The g740 hands down for typing.

Legit cool mouse. I love the scrolling on Logitech mouses. Addicted really.

are GL linear from Logitech more silent than Cherry MX Silent red? If anyone can assist with some advice, it would be great
