I purchased this product last week for about $10. I didn't have high expectations, but after using it, I found it wasn't too bad. Additionally, the included wrist rest is soft and not fixed in place, allowing me to position it wherever I want, which I liked.
Ive used this keyboard for over two years now and it has held up true and well! I have never needed to fix or replace keycaps and dont plan on changing until it breaks (which it may never)
This review is for the "Clicky" model. Rigid construction. Doesn't flex, bend or make any creaky noise. Just heavy enough to sit firmly on your lap without sliding around. Very useful if you're sitting on the sofa! Has light "clicky" sound when keys are pressed, but it's not loud or annoying. Back-light dims after being idle for several seconds, then turns off after a few more seconds. BUT, the keys still work, so you can start typing again without missing a letter, and the back-light comes on again the moment you press any key. You will quickly learn to appreciate this thoughtful design point. Battery life is good considering the back-lighting and all the tech built into this unit. I clocked it at approximately 18 hours of full back-lit gaming plus another 8.5 hours of full back-lit typing and internet before plugging it in to recharge. It was still working OK when i plugged it in to recharge. Works like any standard wireless keyboard with the included USB receiver/dongle, and also on Bluetooth. Conveniently placed buttons along the top of keyboard offer quick selection of either wireless connection or Bluetooth. The USB charging cable can also be used as a USB extender cable so you can place the USB receiver/dongle out in the open for best reception. Numerous lighting configurations are possible. You can create your own or freely download configurations made by other users. Logitech has set up a nice section on their website for the "G-Series" gaming stuff. Look for G-Series logo, not for general "Keyboards" section. Numerous key macros can be configured and saved for quick selection.
- Simple, one page instructions for setup & keyboard functions - Functions are straight forward - The FN keys have their function displayed on the side of the key toward the user - The keys have a quality feel, in both press and texture - Smooth plastic base makes it easy to clean - Decently long cord to plug into the computer, which isn't aligned to the middle of the base - Very lightweight - Multiple fun lighting options (my favorite is the setting that makes the key light up bright after you press it for a second, then dimming) - The sound of the keypress is very satisfying
Initial evaluation is that this is a decent keyboard. I like the clicky keys. Size wise, it is minimal in width but is full length. I have only been using it for a couple of weeks but so far I like it. Feels sturdy and should last.
It's thin, it's light, and no sharp corners or edges. Keystrokes register better than anything I can think of that I've used in the last couple decades. While still making some sound, not nearly as loud as my other mechanical keyboards. I didn't really need RGB lighting effects, but they're very good--better by far than the couple of RGB keyboards I've had before. EIGHT spare switches! I really hope this doesn't mean I'm going to need them anytime soon. The macro key design seems good enough I'll actually use them--I usually don't bother for one reason or another. I'm especially pleased with the vol/brightness control--I loved it on the Corsair keyboards (which had problems in other areas), so it was a major selling point. Almost forgot--the detachable cable. First corded keyboard I've seen that has a detachable cable. Obviously done to make it cheaper to have other models using the same case, that are wireless, but that's not an issue at all. Including a keycap puller, and a keyswitch puller was an awesome move. The stickers were a nice addition, though I'm far from being a kid--I've picked up stickers like them for most of my life, and still don't have anything I especially want stickers on that won't be gone in a few years.
Feels like a keyboard 3 times the price. No misinputs due to a good key design perfect spacing. fits nicely on the desk.
Mechanical Switches RGB modes No wrist sheild (a good feature for me) Great Price
actually pretty good keyboard for the price
Worth the price. You will not regret it. Sturdy. Nice rgb. Very good battery life.
- The Logitech G913 has beautiful presentation and packaging. Taking it out, you notice the brushed aluminum, which looks sophisticated. Compared to most other ‘gaming’ keyboards, the G915 looks super professional. Honestly, it further transformed my office from looking like a gaming setup to a clean, professional setup (I previously had the G710+). There’s no cheap plastic on this keyboard’s aluminum chassis and it screams quality. - Right when you pick this keyboard up, just by the weight of it, you can tell it’s sturdy, well-made, and durable. There’s a braided micro-USB cable for charging, extending the wireless dongle, or keeping it plugged in, non-wireless. - Five LED brightness settings, controllable on the keyboard’s media control buttons. Speaking of these buttons, they look sleek and subtle on the keyboard. They take a while to get used to as the haptic response and feel of them is strange at first, but I’ve come to like them. There’s LED brightness control, three video media controls, a mute button, macro recorder, 3 mode shifts, Windows key lock, and Bluetooth/Wireless toggle switch. There’s also a fat volume wheel bar, which looks sweet and feels great. Also, two LED indicator lights for when the battery is charging/charged and caps lock. - Not being a Cherry-Style switch, I was dubious at first. I personally prefer the Cherry-MX brown switches the most on keyboards, as I think they are a perfect mix of tactile/click/speed. I never really liked the Blues. Logitech’s ‘Clicky Keys’ feel like a lighter-weight Cherry-Blue, and one that I actually like. There is some higher operating force behind them, but don’t click nearly as loudly as the Blues, while travelling much quicker on the down stroke. As a web development programmer, who types a lot, I do really enjoy composing on this keyboard. - The G915 replaces the previous Logitech Gaming Software with G-Hub. It’s amazing software, with a ton of customization and awesome LED effects. You can upload and download custom LED profiles, for different games and settings, etc.. You can set a G-Shift to have one key do two things while the G-Shift key is held down. So essentially, you can turn four G keys into 8 macros. Using the M1, M2, M3 modes, you can quickly switch key profiles on the fly. The option for onboard and application profile switching is there as well. The software is extensively adjustable. - Have not noticed any input lag when on wireless battery. And speaking of which, the battery lasts a long while. I went three days without charging it, likely a total of 30 or so use hours. - The ability to switch from Bluetooth to wireless dongle is pretty cool. This allows easy swapping from different PCs even. At one time, I had it connected to my laptop via wireless USB, switched to Bluetooth via the Bluetooth toggle switch on the keyboard, which connected to my HTPC. Now I was remotely controlling my television. The switch is very quick, as well. Pretty cool!
