@VarjoPira LOL...and you may be right. Really don't know what is happening at Logitech, but every product over the last couple years are 2-years behind the competition.
@mynusten The licences, IP collabs and market shares left them confused. They forgot who they are making products for - and that that audience tends to have higher standards than your average shopper. Or, like many before them, they took a dive chasing after the mythical unicorn that is M O D E R N A U D I E N C E S . My guess is both, bred by a healthy dose of complacency.
@@VarjoPira very solid insight. Didn't think of the overhead Logitech built into its products, but definitely agree that caused the company some serious profitability problems. I've noted a lot of streamers have moved away from using Logitech products...because the $$$ ran out. Hopefully, with new management, Logitech will get back to its roots.
Bummed about the switches. The whole point of a tactile switch is the tactility. Actuation force seems very low too. Double shot PBT would otherwise have seemed a worthy update. My G915 has some keys where the paint is starting to come off. Unfortunately, it looks as if the new caps can't be used with the old model. Think I might try the Keychron K5 Max at some point.
@HeadPack the OG G915 keycaps were made of a lower quality ABS and my fonts wore-off quite quickly. I never thought about transfering the G915X keycaps over to the original model, but thanks for trying. At $229, that is about the only highlight for the 915X -- the doubleshot PBT keycaps. Logitech nailed the top coating, but curious if the keycaps will pass the test of time. I'm testing the NuPhy Air75 HE right now and, so far, its pretty good. Due note, though, the magnetic jade pro switches are pretty heavy (probably 60 gram range)...that's my preference. I know a lot of gamers prefer the very light, linear, speed switches. Appreciate the comment.👍
@nastyagablovska9300 if you are locked into the Logitech eco-system and don't need media keys, I would definitely recommend that G515. The G515 is a substantially better value and a better typing experience. If you are open to exploring other brands, I'd steer you to other companies like NuPhy or Keychron. Both companies are innovative and deliverying substantial value across a number of work & gaming keyboards. Hope this helps. 👍
@nastyagablovska9300 Typing experience will always be linked to the keycaps, switches and internal sound materials. Neither the G515 or G915 are that great and are really overpriced. If you want a really good, all around keyboard for both work & gaming, I would check out Keycrhon. Keychron has endless options and once you narrow it down, you can check out a couple reviews. I haven't done any Keychron reviews, but I have used them in the past and they are quite good. NuPhy is very good, too, but I am not a fan of its cramped full-sized keyboard layout. Keychron as more traditional full-sized keybaords.
I returned this keyboard yesterday. Keycaps, low profile, and macro keys are great, but g hub is horrible and unusable. Build in memory is some kind of fake. You can't use macros with it.
I'm still disappointed with the g915 tkl, they should have given it the macro keys on the left side. I recently bought a redragon with that layout and will be putting half height switches and low profile key caps on it, for around $100.
@JGioia12 The RedDragon mod sounds fantastic! Logtiech Keyboards are mightily unimpressive for the price. Let me know how the RedDragon goes after you get it mod'ed.
I am using MX Keys Mini in the end, for both work and gaming.
X stands for "10 years before any meaningful updates".

@@mynusten Yup, they need to get innovating again, like back in the day. Others are gunning for their spot, *hard.*

Would you recommend choosing g515 or g915x?

At this price point, the G915X is a hard pass. It’s really sad as Logitech used to rule the gaming roost. Not today…
