G915 X Lightspeed TKL Review: A Multi-Purpose Powerhouse With a Premium Profile

Earlier this year, Logitech lifted the lid on the next generation of low-profile gaming keyboards, introducing the G915 X Lightspeed. I was lucky enough to secure a sample of the G915 X Lightspeed TKL for review, and for the last couple of weeks, it has been my daily driver.

Before I sat in front of the G915 X Lightspeed, I’d never used a ‘low-profile’ gaming keyboard, but I can now firmly say that I’m a convert, and every inch of this masterfully created peripheral speaks to me as both a gamer and someone who uses a desktop in my day-to-day job.


Low Profile, High Quality

The G915 X Lightspeed TKL is an extremely attractive keyboard at first blush. It has an aluminium alloy top plate in a brushed style that looks high-end, which matches what you’d expect from the premium price point. The double-shot PBT keycaps are durable and hard-wearing but allow the on-board RGB to flush through beautifully, which is a huge win for gamers everywhere.

It’s only 23mm high, making it one of the lowest low-profile keyboards around, but that doesn’t hinder the device in any way. If you’re a gamer playing titles that require fast reflexes and movement capabilities, the G915 X Lightspeed TKL is a no-brainer – the 1.3mm actuation point proves blisteringly rapid response times.

Logitech’s Lightspeed tri-mode connectivity is flawless, allowing users to flick between devices and connection modes at the press of a button. And on the topic of buttons, this might be a TKL keyboard, but it has everything you’d need, regardless of your use case with this keyboard.

By that, I mean that there is a full suite of media controls, including a sumptuously smooth volume scroller, and a range of other keys that help with the Lightspeed function. I love these keys – they’re soft-touch rubber and tactile, and I’ve considered unbinding them simply so I can keep pressing them for no reason.

Functional and Flawless

The Logitech G915 X Lightspeed TKL plays extremely well. The keys are well-spaced and positioned to promote optimum dexterity, and through Logitech’s G Hub software, it’s highly customisable. My one issue with the layout is that the enter/return key is a ‘half-size’ key and almost every other keyboard I’ve used features the traditional larger key, so getting used to that took a minute.

I love a TKL keyboard, and the G915 X Lightspeed TKL is my new favourite. From the subtle status lights at the top of the keyboard to the depth of the RGB available, and from the responsive linear switches (that I picked) to the whopping 1000-hour battery life (terms of use pending), everything about this keyboard impresses me.

It’s priced at around $199.99, which might be a drawback for some, but I’m unable to find any major faults or drawbacks with this unit. I’ve used it to write dozens of articles, and I’ve played everything from Escape from Tarkov to Fallout 76 on it, and never once have I had an issue.

It’s wireless, Bluetooth, or cable-connected. It’s adjustable and has some of the most stable feet I’ve seen on a keyboard for months. It’s packed with the environment in mind, and it can utilise a single dongle to multi-connect with other, qualifying devices.

This is such a fantastic keyboard, *******.

That marks the end of my Logitech G915 X Lightspeed TKL review – what are your thoughts about this remarkable peripheral? Let us know on the Insider Gaming forum.
