Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL Low Profile Wireless Gaming Keyboard, LIGHTSYNC RGB, Thin Tenkeyless Design, PBT Keycaps, Tactile (Brown) Mechanical Switches - Black

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.

I haven't had time to do pictures which is ok since this a personal review. My son has been using the G915 TKL since release. The characters wore off the caps within probably 4 months and that was years ago. Over the past few years I have fallen deep into the custom keyboard market and built quite a number of boards. However during all that time and though 3 of my sons are using my boards, my oldest just wouldn't give up that old G915 TKL until I handed him this a few days ago! While there is no case like the recent 60% pro release it comes packaged well with everything you could need. The board nice and heavy as well! What I like - The feel. While it would have been nice to have hotswap I have to say that the tactile switches are very nice and some of the best low profile switches I have used. That is based upon a couple of low profile boards I have that are hot swap and tried multiple switches. The sound... it's good, actually to me it great for a low profile board, one of the best I have heard if not the best. It has a a low thocky type sound or at least the closest you can get with a low profile board. It's definitely not loud or clacky. It is just loud enough you can hear it if you aren't wearing headphones. The caps - finally PBT caps and they are decently thick which helps the sound and they shouldn't wear out in a couple of months. They are also more of the normal low profile standard so you should be able to replace them. Wireless works great and there are a good amount of customization with the Logitech G software. Personally I would prefer QMK/VIA but as a multi decade user of Logitech mice as are my sons, the software is installed already anyway. Not sure what is going on recently with Logitech keyboard wise but this board is a winner, it's great. This is the first Logitech board I've been able to fully recommend in some time. I'm very happy to say that not only do I recommend this board even at the current price, I would put this up against any low profile board currently on the market.

Got it to replace my old G915 TKL. Only thing it's missing is the media control buttons and scroll volume bar but there are function keys to still be able to control all that. Feels very premium and think it should hold up very well just like my G915 TKL did. Has a nice feel, types great, keys seem higher quality than the G915's, and still has the small form factor and minimal travel that I very much prefer for gaming and typing compared to normal keyboards.

LOVE this keyboard. It flows lights that are super pretty and not too much going on. Love that it lights up the gaming keys. And just for a bonus the clicks and feeling is *just right* scratches the brain so niceeeee.

So I was just looking for a wireless keyboard i wouldnt have to replace in a few months and this was in between on prices. Well it showed up the next morning and I had no idea what I had purchased. It's EXTREMELY smooth, connected immediately, has an internal battery and LED so you can use it in the dark. The only thing I wish it had was a volume button outside of that, this is the nicest wireless keyboard I've ever bought and had no idea what I was buying lol. Thanks Logitech.

Great keyboard, probably one of my favorites of all time. I had their G915 for a while and while it was good, the abs caps caused them to become greasy when you used them and I wasn't a fan of the volume roller and other buttons which served no purpose for me. The G515 feels weighty, premium but minimalistic as it doesn't have any media controls. Keys are factory lubed, snappy, and sound great out of the box, even better than some other enthusiast mechanical keyboards I've purchased. PBT caps are slightly textured and don't pick up natural oils from your fingers, the wireless performance is flawless as to be expected from Logitech's lightspeed technology that lets them dominate the gaming mouse market, it's also the perfect size and includes the F-keys and navigation keys which are essential to my job. The all plastic body may be a turnoff to some people but I find it to be a plus because typically aluminum cases or other metal get cold to the touch and can be uncomfortable in the winter or in an air conditioned room, especially if you make full use of the wireless capability and rest it on your lap like I do. The plastic doesn't feel cheap, it's super solid and feels dense. Overall extremely happy with my purchase and would recommend this keyboard to anyone. I never leave Amazon reviews but I liked this keyboard that much that I went out of my way this time.

The G515 TKL is a secret weapon. I have very exacting specifications that I want out of a keyboard because I play rhythm games pretty intensively, and I've tried so many boards and always come back to something in this line (either this or my two old G915 TKLs, which were the prior model.) This board fixes the issues I had with the G915 almost completely. The 915s proprietary keycap shape prevented easy replacement, while the keys here are much closer to a stock low-pro and make it much easier to replace. The keycaps themselves are much better, being doubleshot and far less resistant to wearing - a problem that was huge with the 915 especially when you couldn't replace them easily. The LIGHTSPEED connection is still literally faster than almost any wired board I've ever used in terms of response time, offering incredibly snappy reaction times. Lastly, the volume roller of the 915 was prone to static and wear incredibly quickly, and that's fixed by the normal function key-mapped media controls here. The board doesn't feel as good since it's all-plastic instead of the aluminum chassis of the 915, but if you're not moving it around much you won't really notice. It also just looks a lot sleeker and is a lot cheaper than its predecessor. I imagine this will be my daily driver for a long time.

Bluetooth will not connect to dongle - crap DO NOT BUY, hooked up my old $36 Backlit Large Print Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo (that bought this one to "upgrade my user experience) worked again with no issues - so it is not the computer. NOT PLUG AND PLAY. I actually bought two to these based on reviews. First one I did not unbox and try until after the return date (health issues). I believed the reviews so much I bought a second - since I was not feeling well when I try to set up the first one, thought I just screwed up. I was wrong - the second one had same issues, luckily I can return. As a side note, I did get Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse for $89. At first it did work, but when I plugged in the keyboard it also failed. Again, that $36 old keyboard came with a mouse -and it works fine and I only need one dongle for both. Overall relearned lesson - more expense usually means more set up complications and not necessarily better performance.

I’ve been using the Logitech G515 for about 6 months, and it’s been excellent. The keyboard is very responsive, quiet, and smooth to type on, with a soft and pleasant sound. I recently had a newborn, and this keyboard feels like destiny, it’s nearly silent, so I can work or play without disturbing the baby. The battery life is also amazing, I only need to charge it about once every three weeks. Overall, it’s a reliable, well-designed keyboard that perfectly balances performance and convenience.

antes que nada hay una error en la publicación de Amazon y que veo que tiene mucho tiempo y es que dice ser un teclado con switch rojos lineales y nada que ver con lo que te mandan el que te llega son switch Brown lineales para mí no es problema pero si lo que tú quieres son switch rojos lineales este no es el teclado para que no comentan el error de pedirlo , bueno ahora si mi opinión sobre el teclado .después de buscar y buscar teclados mecánicos para jugar mas que para escribir y ver marcas chinas , marcas no muy conocidas pero populares pero a su vez demasiado dinero para un teclado . me fui por mi marca favorita de teclados sin esperar mucho ya que solo lo quería para jugar así que no me importaba si no tuviera buen sonido , materiales pero sabia la calidad que maneja la marca Logitech , bueno vaya sospesa que teclado tan genial , teclas pbt de alto nivel que no deja que la grasa de los dedos se quede en ellas así que siempre se ve impecable , el sonido es una delicia para el oído se oye super genial la sensación de las teclas es de primer nivel , tanto así que para escribir también funciona super bien ya que es una maravilla , la batería le dura buen tiempo y el color del rgb lo manejas a tu antojo asi que, si quieres un teclado mecánico de primer nivel con sonido premium y materiales de primera compra este teclado no te vas arrepentir para nada .

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.

Veio bem embalado, entrega no dia certo como já avisado. Nada a reclamar, ótima qualidade do teclado pra quem busca algo mais clean e sem aquele barulho de teclado com switch azul, além de ter muitas opções no software dele na questão de personalização de cores. Muitas funções bacana, realmente vale o preço! Espero ter ajudado.

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
