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:
  • Tri-mode connectivity. Choose from best-in-class 2.4 GHz LIGHTSPEED wireless, Bluetooth , and wired data modes.
  • Soft touch media keys, 9 G-keys, and a cast iron volume roller for quick access control.
  • LIGHTSYNC RGB with access to ~16.8 M colors to customize and unify all of your Logitech G gear through G HUB.

The G915 X LIGHTSPEED full-size keyboard (LINEAR, TACTILE & CLICKY) - US MSRP $229.99

WastelandThen 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
Unfortunately K5 Max has PBT caps with non-shine-through legends, which makes the whole backlight useless. Buying a set of better caps adds to the cost...

OnasiNah, that’s only the cringelords. Actual keyboard enthusiasts celebrate that you can get absolute badass keebs nowadays for half that or slightly more from the likes of Akko, Epomaker, Varmilo, James Donkey, Vortex - you name it. Talking about 200-230 that Logi wants for this thing. Like, there are HE models for 160 nowadays. This price is strictly a branding tax.
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.
None of the "brands" you mention are low profile.

And Frick wasn’t talking exclusively LP either and I was replying to him, so not sure what the point is here. You want LP - Keychron and NuPhy are that way and neither charge 200-230 either.

Honestly, for something you use as much, the difference between a $200 keyboard and $50 keyboard is the difference between a 50 cent toothbrush and a $2 toothbrush.

trsttteVery cool to see them upgrading another keyboard to PBT keycaps, in this price range it should have never been any other way but at least it's good now.

Hopefully this trend will keep spreading within logitech, maybe an MX Master Mechanical with PBT keycaps soon **pretty please**
Great news - stupid ABS ones are terribad. Already had to buy a set of six to replace my 's' key. With this fixed, I might buy one of these when in comes to it instead of going back to Corsair.

Yeah... thats not how this works. I own my pants like 10 years now. Doesnt justify me paying 500 bucks for each tho. You can very much use a 5$ Keyboard,
50 bucks for a mechanical rgb gaming keyboard with some extras is alrerady quite a luxury. This is is just obscene.

Do you wear one single pair of pants for 10 years daily?

/smh

Oh, and I've got a few pairs of pants over $500, even though they're only worn on the occasional night out.

bugTo what end? They only offer 2-3 models, only one is full size and none of them is low profile.
It's about quality not quantity, Would be nice if they did do a low profile one as you could probably set the key activation anywhere in that 1.5mm travel, and they would most likely be all programmable and not just a lousy 4-5 keys.

Very nice. I would get one. Just the Logitech Tax is a bit much.

Considering the cost of your pc Inc monitor, what would this be, 5% of that, less. Nothing imo. I have used lots of other keyboards and now using the G915 TKL, have to say the best I have used. Even had a couple of Chinese? Off brands which I know some rave about but l stick with my G915 I think.

Let me capitalise that correctly for you "latest gAmIng technology"

I paid like 10 bucks for my last toothbrush, so I guess this means anything under a grand for a keyboard is ok ?
OminenceTreat it with extreme care. As a G915 tactile owner, absolute junk quality fragile keycaps.
How hard do you type ? I've had my TKL G915 tactile for years now and I split a foot underneath but never a even fractured or split a keycap.

Assuming it allows to type even slightly faster, more accurately, or more comfortably -- of course. $1000 would be a steal for that. It'd certainly be far more useful than the same amount spent to swap your already-fast monitor out for a 360 hz version.

I've never split one, but I've rubbed off the coating on dozens, making the keys themselves illegible.

Well we wont talk about the fact I spent a boatload on a new monitor then...

Interesting you've rubbed the key caps off, mine would have to be better than 95% intact (even my gaming keys)

Is it weird I'd like them to make a TKL with a few G keys on it ?

Probably not weird, as that is Logi's 'Signature' for gaming keyboards.
