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.

Pricing and Availability
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.

Mmm i'm using the old 915 lightspeed tkl and love it. I'd consider the new one but the price is steep, this was not particularly cheap though. I do like the more traditional + key fitting too.

Dam that price.
I think it's actually cheaper than the original 915.
I like them, I would get the wired version. If I can find it heavily discounted.

Screw that and just buy Wooting keyboard.

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 have one just like that. Some discontinued G.Skill. Only it's not low-profile. And I agree, onboard memory is very, very nice. Especially since I'm mostly booting into Linux and nobody cares to offer keyboard software for that.

G915 is for those that prefer low-profile KBs and You throw in a tall one as an alternative...

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.

Very 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**

Logitech had better be selling those PBT keycaps for G915 users as well. The ABS keycaps on my G915 started to shine just a couple of days after I'd started using them, I did change the keycaps on the 'W,A,S,D' but the shine on my space bar is practically blinding.o_O

If you have tried G515, you will find that Logitech has already fixed this problem on their newest low profile keyboad series.

Never had that problem with mine; the Romer-G switches have the best typing feel of any keyboard I've ever used.

That's been the only drawback with mine ... the keycaps wear out fast. I'm on my third set now.

Paying out the ass for low profile, No body offers linux for their keyboards ?, then i guess you can all so add wooting to that list :).

I had got fed up with the Logitech "quality" after the Orion Spark keyboards, even the free replacement they sent me had the exact same issues after 6 months of use. I bought corsair k100 with optical switches and havent been happier.

I fee like €200 is like entry level for a keyboard these days, at least that's my impression from just reading stuff keyboard perverts write, and I feel like everyone turned into one of those overnight. Had this been €400 those people would have perked up, but €200 is like pleb money.

Same. I have two Keychron K5 SE boards. They've been fantastic. I use them wired, though. The bluetooth connection's a little flakey, in my experience. This Logitech board likely has an advantage there.

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

Nah, 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.

That's most likely the noise of the springs.

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.

Some people may not buy keyboards labeled with gamer tag. They have a lot of cash on hand because they are from a certain "older" generation.

One USB-A cable to rule them all.
42 hours of battery life at 100 percent brightness.

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.

into Linux and nobody cares to offer keyboard software

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.
