As a long-time user of the 915, I find a major update significant. The keys' secondary functions are now backlit, which is fantastic for someone like me who often types in the dark.

Thank you for the Video, i search for exact this. Greetings from Germany ;)
I am so glad they addressed the key wobble! I've always hated by current 915's loose feeling keys. Going to have to get the new one. Also, the new one has USB-C! Finally!
While everything else has stiffened, what I noticed is the power button on the keyboard is wobbly on the G915 X than the G915 which was stiff (at least on my board).
So logitech saved some money by using universal keycaps giving customers flexibility to switch keys, but you still can't hotswap the switches. Pretty unfortunate knowing your going to buy a keyboard for $200 only for the key caps lube to go out in 3 years, and you can't fix that because the friggin switches are soldered on. Still bothered they never lit up the special characters on the old, glad that changed.
I just did my old one today, man almost 30 screws and the desoldering for me was night mare ( never doen before) used it for almost 5 years now I think I will get new KB , but no more logitech, like you pay 260euro for a KB and its almost anti consumer ,, I do love g915 for the silence and tlk things but never more.
Fair enough, I think I mentioned the customizability options using G-Hub but didn't go further into it. From my end I don't see too much value in remapping 60% boards and above, though the macros could be helpful.
Is the G515 you're looking at wired or wireless? In the US the wired one is $100 and the wireless is $140, meanwhile the 915x wireless is $199. Honestly comparing both, I would probably save some money and go with the 515 wired to save some money or wireless if you prefer that. The main difference I'm seeing is the 515 is an all-plastic build where the 915x has the top aluminum (But to be honest that aluminum plate is such like a half measure, I would prefer an all-aluminum construction, or just keep it all plastic) I think the overall profile is also slimmer. Also missing are the media keys and volume roller found in the 915x model. If neither the build material or the media keys are that important to you I would go with 515.The 515 uses the same switches and keycaps as the 915x, has USB C, and retains all the customizability through key control. The 515 has the same problems that I mentioned in my video as the 915x, but at the price point you can be much more forgiving.
in the video, the brushed aluminum looks darker, more black, on the new one compared to the previous version. Is that just due to lighting in the video or can you confirm if the colors are the same?
Probably not, but after reading I think it has the exact same issues as the Logitech, and more too. The switches aren't hotswap and the keycaps are entirely proprietary, you can't swam them out with any MX keycap. Also sacrifice the media keys and volume roller for a touchbar, I feel like the touchbar wouldnt be as intuitive to use as the roller. If you could only pick between the two, I would choose the 915. Or save some money and go with the logitech 515. I think even the polling rate on the falchion was worse than Logitechs.
Choc keycaps have no snap in? Like the proprietary caps on the OG G915 had little hooks on the two prongs but the choc caps just go straight down (from what I can see). So how do they even stay in place?
I hear ya, personally I don't use macros on regular keyboards all that much, mostly on my ergo split boards where I can make any key or layer specifically for macros.
I got the G915 X TKL and I like it, also have the Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro TKL, while that one got hot swappable switches, I don't like the slow input delay when the keyboard is on idle for sometime, I just want the keyboard to respond quick without the need to double press a key to wake it up, and I want a low profile keyboard, so which one are my best option for a more updated keyboard then? Because I am still in my return windows for the G915 X TKL and bought it for €155,-
I just watched a video on the Razer, I can't say I ever had those issues with the G915, with or without Ghub being installed on my computer, that's crazy, and such a high price too. Initially when I read your comment, I thought you meant it was slow to wake the computer itself up, but from the video I just watched it looked like if they keyboard itself just goes idle and into a sleep mode, that's when you experience this delay/slow wake up, is that right? I wish I could give you a better recommendation, but the G915 is the only low profile gaming keyboard I've used, all my other gaming boards have been full size switches so I can't give you recommendations on boards I haven't tried myself. If I were to get a low-profile board today, I'd probably get one of Lofree's boards, specifically because I already have a dedicated gaming keyboard (wooting). There is one keyboard I'm interested in looking into that I may purchase to try out, check out the Nuphy60 HE, sorry I couldn't give you an actual recommendation!
@ I know, did also look at the G915 X but the full-size is just to big for me, I mostly playing fps games and use the keyboard for one day work from home. And I am working on IT and never use the numpad so I am fine with a TKL. Did return my G915 X TKL today btw and did order the white version, because you don’t see the letters and symbols without backlight on the black one.
@ I had the Deathstalker 2 Pro TKL before with red linear switches, but I did miss some feeling when typing and using fps games. So I did go for the tactile this time, and I like the feeling and sound when typing and gaming.
I have the G613. For the past year it has the double typing issue which I’ve read the 915 has as well. Have you read or experienced that? I need another but weary of doing another Logitech due to that issue.
In the time I've had it I've never experienced that issue, I let a buddy borrow it before getting it back for this video and they didn't have that problem either. There was a point where I swear my f row wasn't working but everything seems to be working fine now. No firmware updates available through G hub?
@@heyitspete9890 I should have mentioned the timeframe, I had mine for little over a year before the issue started which of course was after warranty. Others online mention same thing if you search G915 double typing. How long have you had yours? Some say it has something to do with the G roma keys…. No update available, I’m on the latest. Some mention it could be an easy firmware update but Logitech isn’t acknowledging the issue so no update for it from them.
been looking to update my peripherals. im coming from a SteelSeries apex 7 tkl. not sure if you know anything about that keyboard, but do u think it's a viable upgrade to this one.
@@brobob52 been using g915 for almost 5 years , love this kb how it works, but had issue like for a month where one of my switch stopped working, since its not hot swappble had to open the whole chassy, desoter the key and took one of my g key as dono key resotered it , now it works fine , but I am thinking to change keyboard too, Id fo ROG azoth extream but 500 is too much how good the quality is. I have been using Logi from 2016 they are not bad brand but something they do are not great , like making keys not swappble, and hard to find the same switches or key caps. This time if I wanna get something new, I want to have controll on my prepherials rather than 4-5 key dies I have to throw it in the trash than trying to fixing it or modding it XD , I have been looking on ROG claymore or maybe wooting.
@@brobob52 I do love their mice reason I eve got g915 in 2020 , top of their line back then ngl quality is still good , got over 6 mice form them too 2 headset yeti mic and Stream cam , but not sure for the next kb
I think it is an upgrade in sound alone. I have the Apex 7 TKL aswell and it sounds so, SO bad, which is because of the switches. The board also do not have any media control except that stupid button and roller on the top right. All around a terrible keyboard and I think an upgrade is worth it, you don't have to get the lightspeed version of the G915X
Hi, I've bought G915 x linear but sometimes RGB is changing color. Idk why because i've programmed my 3 build-in memory. Is it a software issue? I dont see any review speaking about it. & if the computer is off, & if the keyboard is 'on' as the previous version G 915 it shut off, but it also, if I touch the keyboard, it wakes up and doesn't go back to sleep. Same problem for my G915 full. My Asus Rog Azoth never did that and always sleep or unsleep & detect that the computer is off & shut off immediatly.
I have a Logitech Keyboard in my office, wireless. It was allways ok and good. Then I destroy it due to my fault after 2 years of use. So I ordered the exact same model again, I was happy with ist so I liked to have teh same. So I did and what I get was a higher price and a very very much samler battery inside. The bat stays only 2 days, the previous min 1 week normally 2 weeks. So my trustment to Logothech is not high any more
After using scissor keyboards mainly, I find tha original G915 a bit diffucult to type on, and do a lot of typos. Do you think the X is better because of the slightly shorter travel?
In terms of typing feel, aside from the less wobbly keys they felt pretty much the same, if you didn't like the experience with the original you likely won't like it on the new either. They have the Logitech MX keys S that are similar to scissor switches, no? Probably not ideal for gaming but closer to that kind of experience. I have seen a site selling scissor switches in the past but not sure how available they are on the custom side of things.
@@heyitspete9890 I use it mainly for programming and need the full ins/del/etc. block, and TKL. This narrows down my choices drastically... I miss my DiNovo :'(
@@okosakaroklenni Had to look it up since I've never heard of the DiNovo that's a funky looking keyboard! (That's a good thing hahaha) And ahh, I see yeah the mini is a 75% so it would be missing the nav cluster. Something to look into! I like the typing feel of scissor switches, I was using an Apple Magic Keyboard recently at work, I liked using it but missed my Corne.
@@heyitspete9890 I feel old now :D In ints time it looked high-tech, and those keys. Still among the best with the lenovo ultranav (the non-chiclet version). I would literallly pay any amount for a g915 looking keyboard with keys like those. Btw have you tried the cherry mx ultra low profile? Building a custom kb with those might be my best bet.
@@amirabasgamer9504 I actually just mentioned this one to someone else. I may end up picking one up to take a look and see how it compares to the wooting and the G915.
I saw ads for grovemade, specifically for their felt mouse pads. Bought this one through Amazon instead, quite cheaper. I don't think I would buy it again, it frays and catches dog hair like crazy, looks really nice though. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C1BD33T9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
how do you not mention thats new version uses USB C and not Micro USB like the old version. That itself has been the single reason for many not buying it.
Logiteches Marketing is mostly BS , most of their KB are not hot swapable so if u have one faulty key you are stuck or need to open the whole keyboard to work on that, and its hard to find these switchess.
Whas there anything in specific that you felt I missed or got wrong? Someone mentioned key mapping and macros, I skipped over them but did mention the customizability through Ghub.
Well technically the only complaints were the micro USB port and the odd shape of the switches, so I'd have to listen to users if they did. But half a year ago I bought the G915TKL tactile and seeing what the new version brings, it doesn't really catch my attention at the moment, maybe in 2 years I'll buy it, otherwise the one I have will break.

915x is not an upgrade, it's a fix.
Improvements are usually an upgrade be it from Amazon complaints to feedback submissions.
