Logitech G Introduces the G915 X Series - The Most Advanced Low-Profile Gaming Keyboard Ever Built
Logitech G, a brand of Logitech and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear, announced today at Logi Play the Logitech G915 X Gaming Keyboard. Standing at an incredible 23 mm high, this is one of the Company's thinnest low-profile wireless gaming keyboards. Combining the latest gaming technology with a meticulously crafted design and premium materials, the new G915 X is a flagship gaming keyboard with a sleek and modern aesthetic and a premium gaming experience for the most discerning gamers and high-end users.
"When the G915 LIGHTSPEED keyboard was released in 2019, it was a revolutionary and award-winning gaming keyboard that introduced many players to the joys of low-profile gaming. Since then, we have listened carefully to our G915 customers on what enhancements they would like to see in the next generation, and today we're excited to announce G915 X, with the features players love and the improvements most requested," said Arnaud Perret-Gentil, Head of PC Gaming, Logitech G.
The G915 X features a completely redesigned galvanic switch. The original switches' hook-style stem were replaced with a new POM, cross-style stem. This new design improves the overall stability of the key for a better and quieter typing experience and simplifies the replacement or customization of your keycaps.
In addition, the switches' actuation point was reduced from 1.5 to 1.3 mm, resulting in quicker actuation. PBT keycaps were added and upgraded from ABS to double-shot, shine-through PBT, which offers better resistance to wear and reduces the visibility of potential oil from your fingers.
The build quality is key to a superior typing experience. The aluminium top plate thickness was increased from 1.2 to 1.5 mm, improving the product's structural strength and adding the final touch of improvement to an already-loved typing experience.
The G915 X LIGHTSPEED retains the original's tri-mode connectivity and features our ultrafast LIGHTSPEED wireless, Bluetooth , and USB-wired connectivity.
Moreover, the battery life was improved compared to the original without compromising performance. With backlighting off, the full-size version of the G915 X LIGHTSPEED delivers up to 800 hours of battery life. At a hundred percent RGB brightness and on LIGHTSPEED, it offers up to 36 hours of continuous use, a twenty percent improvement over the original. The tenkeyless version offers up to 1000 hours with lighting off and 42 hours of battery life at 100 percent brightness.
In addition to the original volume roller, G key, and media buttons, the G915 X adds another powerful tool for control and customization. With KEYCONTROL, any key can become a powerful macro that combines multiple commands into a single keypress. Turn the numpad into a full gaming command center, or combine it with the G shift key on your mouse to give all the keys on your keyboard a different set of commands.
Additional features of the G915 X Series include:
The G915 X Series includes:
The G915 X LIGHTSPEED full-size keyboard (LINEAR, TACTILE & CLICKY) - US MSRP $229.99
The G915 X LIGHTSPEED TKL (LINEAR, TACTILE & CLICKY)- US MSRP 199.99
The G915 X Wired Gaming Keyboard (LINEAR & TACTILE) - US MSRP $179.99
All wireless options are black and white, and the wired are black. They are available on September 17th, 2024, at LogitechG.com and at major participating retailers.

A real, FULL-SIZED keeb...how dare they launch such an outlandish product....hopefully they know their whole company will go bankrupt for this..... j.k. :D
I like the looks & features, the price OTOH, no so much...
Gotta see some reviews/tests though !
I wonder, though, if it still makes that ringing noise when you type like practically all Logitech G mechanical keyboards I've tried.
I like them, I would get the wired version. If I can find it heavily discounted.
Few examples why.
Activation point can be 0.2-4mm
Software is not required at all to run after setup
Very simple software to use, easy to understand and use.
Profiles are on the keyboard and not on the system.
Software is very light on resources.
Just to name a few.
I bought Keychron K5 for slightly less than half the price of this new Log and I got the option to hot-swap switches, as opposed to G915.
Hopefully this trend will keep spreading within logitech, maybe an MX Master Mechanical with PBT keycaps soon **pretty please**
Then again, Keychron's revised K5 Max evidently has a 2.4 GHz receiver in addition to Bluetooth functionality. The hot-swappable version costs a little more than my model, but nice. I'm half-tempted to grab one now; thanks for the heads' up, Logitech! lol
400 is definitely endgame build territory that most wouldn’t recommend until one is really sure of what they want and that is going to be full custom, so the price makes sense.
Oh, and no self-respecting “keyboard pervert” (I do dig the term) would recommend Logitech boards.
When i put my Keychron Q6 togeter and used non-lubed Cherry MX Silent Red switches it had that noise as well. I spend 3 days hand lubing all 105 switches with a tiny brush including the springs and it's been dead silent ever since.
One USB-A cable to rule them all.I personally use for a longer time period a cooler master mechanical keyboard. An online purchase without testing, one with brown, one with red switches. Also with a metal plate on top below the changeable switches. 2 keyboards (one red, one with brown mechanical switches) with shipping costs from germany below 60€ in total what I remember. I was curious about mechanical keyboards and about those switches. With the intention to repair the hardware later. One spare, one to use. I do repair my usb mice. I do clean also mice for my relatives. I also put that keyboard already under the shower because I spilt coffee over it. No issues. They keyboard comes with some sort of IP rating which allows some sort of cleaning with water.That was one of the reason I bought a mechanical keyboard with all the changeable options via a "FN" function key. No Software no issue.
Some HID (human input devices) come with hardware keys to configure all the options, even some mice in the past.
