Yeah, gotta admit the fact that they're still using micro USB for a 2020 keyboard is odd to say the least. That being said, this keyboard is my dream. I own the Logitech G815 wired clicky variant and I kept bugging Logitech on twitter to release a TKL version... My prayers have been answered.

I have the non tkl version and i can tell you its the best wireless keyboard ive ever used, my setup is fully wireless but hated the huge footprint of the current size non tkl now that this one is out im definitely purchasing it again just for that. Completely worth it imo
Robert Hernandez How have the keys held up after prolonged use? They seem flimsy and precariously balances atop the switch compared to day the g pro TKL Also is the RGB bright enough for you?
I don’t get why the mainstream brands are so hesitant to go towards 65% layouts. I can understand not doing 60%, as losing the arrow keys is further than most would be willing to go, but 65% retains almost everything a TKL has, but gets the keyboard even smaller (which seems to be the main reason anyone would move to TKL over full size)
i guess it's sales figures. a youtuber shared the sales figure of full size figures being the highest, then the tkl, then smaller ones like 65 and 60 diminishes immediately afterwards. When there is enough love for 65 and 60s im sure it'll gain track. I for one have been looking for a ultra low latency 65 for a while now
I was looking at the corsair wirelesss keyboards but after this review and already loving my g512 se board i think you've convinced me to spend double to amount on this logitech board instead. You make really good reviews and i appreciate to quality. Keep it up.
I bought this keyboard, and I have to say, I'm not thrilled with the flimsiness of the keycaps and how they connect to the switches. They tend to rattle around and it gives it this cheap feel that I really dislike, especially with how expensive this keyboard is. It's definitely a good looking keyboard though, and the lighting effects are all really cool, but the typing experience left something to be desired due to the rattle of the caps that I just couldn't get over. It's a shame because every other aspect of this keyboard is really solid - the switches themselves are really good and very pleasant sounding and to type with. Just wish they upped the quality of the caps; felt like I was typing on a crappy laptop keyboard after the honeymoon period wore off.
It's too late Logitech... I'm quite happy with my Drevo Blademaster pro, it's surprisingly good. The battery on this board lasts me about 60 hours with LED's on, uses usb c too. I can't understand why Logitech didn't use USB C. This is what the g613 should have been.
Man... I really want this keyboard, but there's only Tactile in my country (which are the second best from the three)... I really want the clicky ones.
Do you find that there is a slight curvature to it? I just got one and when I have the 8 degree feet up, the bottom corners touch metal to desk and I can see a gap in the middle between the board and the desk.
8:25 as you can see from the key movement, and as an owner of 915 TKL keyboard, the key rattles and wobbles a lot. Not stable at all. But I bought it purely for its aesthetics and wirelessness.
My G915 TKL keeps going inactive within few minutes, any solution? Comes back to life once touched, but the point is why it goes inactive within just 30 sec or 1 mins. Any help will be appreciated please.
In terms of mainstream keyboards, this would’ve impressed me...but now that I have recently gotten in custom keyboards...this logitech keyboard seems lackluster in comparison to my upcoming custom keyboard. Although I would like to mention that logitech is heading in the right direction. Next step for them is to finally adapt usbc
@@TheProvokedPrawn what in the world... Ok, well I'm going to be getting my unit soon and reviewing it in my channel. You mind if I quote you on this? ...if Logitech doesn't get back to me in time
4:34 le me in the shop, when finding this nice volume control. It's a fantastic design! However I need a proper review in terms of switch choice (linear, tactile etc.) and functionality (RGB and software, in addition it feels dull if compared to real mechanicals...). It's overall a well executed product. I may run for it or wait a little more for a well designed full mechanical variant. Go Logitech 🙃
There are no red/brown switch choices. It's GL Clicky, Tactile or Linear. See here for more info on that - www.logitechg.com/en-roeu/innovation/mechanical-switches.html
I have a Redragon keyboard that was around 40 bucks. I bought a really nice x470 Asus motherboard AND the G102 mouse for $200. No matter what anyone says, justifying $230 for a TKL wireless keyboard with Micro USB is impossible.
@@TheProvokedPrawn I have their G Pro gaming mouse, I have to charge it every other day. Now the micro USB header is starting to get lose I have to be very careful. Its not as robust as the USB C. Also for 230$ the USB C would charge this thing to full much faster because it carry more voltage and maybe for that price, throw it a USB A pass thru. I mean, it's $230!
@@mrbrightside3771 it is mad. Logitech say it's to keep costs down (what?!?) And that there's no benefit to USB-C here (also what?!?) I agree, it's daft.
this kb has Bluetooth compatibility, you can use it on a computer without the dongle I switch between my lap top using Bluetooth and desktop with the dongle with the buttons on the top row of the keyboard
Great video again Prawn! What's your thoughts about the Logitech Software for the keyboard? My girlfriend got herself the "Logitech G560 LIGHTSYNC PC Gaming Speakers with Game Driven RGB Lighting" and she really doesn't like how it operates... like it doesn't give you much customization options.
That's an issue at the moment as I got access so early the keyboard isn't even recognised by G-Hub yet. I've got a full briefing this afternoon which will hopefully sort that out. Then I can do a proper review.
@@TheProvokedPrawn Your wife has some thicc ass fingers lol. You should make a video of her trying to type on an iphone SE and see how many misclicks she gets.
the 2.4GHz dongle? Its for the wireless connection. The other is just to put the dongle closer to your keyboard and to have the power cable in reach if you need it. It's not essential in my experience.
