Logitech G915 Lightspeed Wireless Keyboard Review

For ordinary users, a keyboard may just be an ordinary accessory. As long as it’s good enough for typing, it serves its function. But for gamers, we know it is much more than that. In this review, we will take a look into Logitech’s new line of wireless keyboards. In particular, the Logitech G915 Lightspeed Wireless Keyboard. So sit back, relax, and let’s have a look at our latest guide, the Logitech G915 Lightspeed Wireless Keyboard Review.

Logitech G915 Lightspeed Wireless Keyboard – Packaging

In this section of our Logitech G915 Lightspeed Wireless Keyboard Review, we will take a look at the first thing we see, the packaging. The keyboard arrived in great shape thanks to our mail courier. The packaging comes in a shiny box, with the keyboard taking centre stage. I like how simple yet elegant it looks. We used a cutter to cut open the tapes which are stuck in there pretty tightly. A good sign that the packaging is well-made.

Written on the box are the “next dimension features”. This includes the key features (which we will discuss in further detail later), and some warranty information. Everything you need to know at the surface level about the product is visible from the get-go.

Once opened, it only gets better. The keyboard is protected by layers of beautiful, carbon-black cardboard. A plastic mould is present on the edges to prevent the keyboard from moving around during shipping. The keyboard itself even has plastic wrapped around the backside and edges for even more protection. All of these great packaging design choices combined means that the keyboard is sure to arrive in pristine condition.

After taking the keyboard off the box, a beautiful, glossy black plastic almost wraps around the components. There are a couple of things including a Micro USB connector and a Lightspeed USB dongle. And of course, a manual containing installation instructions and warranty information, in different languages.

Ultra-fast and reliable wireless speeds

Being a wireless keyboard means less mess on your desk or gaming rig. But at the same time, some are concerned about latency issues. Concerns about input delays caused by data travelling from the keyboard to your system wirelessly. Thankfully, Logitech’s lightspeed technology means you get negligible latency.

Bluetooth connecivity

Hands-on with the Logitech G915 Lightspeed Wireless Keyboard


In this section of our Logitech G915 Lightspeed Wireless Keyboard Review, we will share our first impressions, and how the product felt overall when we first tried it.

First of all, the looks. The dark, brushed aluminium colour looks fantastic. It looks very Logitech. We’re glad that this keyboard follows that trend.

We also noticed that the switches are attached directly onto the surface of the keyboard. The RGB lights shine through and it looks fantastic. And it also serves to make maintenance and cleaning a lot easier. Those are all great news for a gaming keyboard that is going to see a lot of use.

The keyboard includes two retractable feet at the bottom despite being a slim keyboard. It has settings on the height and by using it, it feels very comfortable. My wrists feel well-rested and we can type for long periods of time without feeling any strain.

The travel time between the keys and the presses is impressive, on par with your typical, bigger gaming keyboards. It feels like the same thing. The experience was so immersive that it gets you into gaming right away and does not feel intrusive. It feels natural right away and you forget you are using a brand-new keyboard.

This keyboard is also great for typing, I typed rather quickly and with little mistakes, given we were using and getting a feel for this keyboard for the first time.
