I purchased the Logitech G915 TKL and immediately hated it. The keys were wobbly and the linear switches felt mushy. I took it back and got the DeathStalker V2 Pro TKL and it's amazing! The switches are hot-swappable with Keychron low profile switches, and I've fallen in love with the stock Razer Linear switches.
Hey, I'm in the exact same boat. Tested all 3 versions of the g915, linear/tactile to mushy, clicky to loud and on top on all: the wobbly keycaps... 🤮 Would you say the deathstalker is that much better? Still searching for a Keyboard, but right now I'm unhappy with the Logitech...
Ur so right. I have had my Logitech G915 linear for a year now. Great keyboard but it does wobble and the key caps get too slippery overtime. Since I have a razer mouse i was thinking about getting this TKL.
Just picked up a “renewed” g915 TKL for 100 bucks …Turned up in mint condition and I absolutely love it. I used a 10 year old DAS keyboard before, but I find the lower profile of the Logitech far more comfortable. It’s true that the keys wobble when you shake the keyboard but just using it normally I’d never even notice it. Feels very solid and ergonomic. I think $200 would have been too much - but at $100, it’s a great buy imho.
Have the G915 my own, and the wobbly keys almost were the reason not to buy it. But it doesnt bother me in any way, dont notice it either when gaming or programming. I absolutely love the G915, great feeling (linear Switches) and after a year, the keys still look great.
This is what im worried about too. I just got the Deathadder V3 pro mouse and its great but battery life is terrible. It drops from 100 to 50 in one day. I wonder if it has to do anything with Synapse? Or maybe their product are just terrible
I have the G915 TKL and love it, apart from the micro-USB port, which means I have to keep a random cable for charging this keyboard when everything else is USB-C. I hope there is an updated version coming soon as I've also just bought the G502 X PLUS...
If u pick the same keyboard (my coffee killed my 915 TKL, so I pick it again), you may find out Logitech have some problem with quality control…. The CTRL on my new 915 TKL tactile is not working as expected, and the on-board mode for my new G900 (old one have a shaking key)take several seconds to respond
Only two complaints I have about the g915 is the micro usb instead of type c and the fact it only has memory for 1 BT device, aside from this I don't think any other keyboard even comes close to competing with it even nearly half a decade later.
@@hazeinstrumentals3638 i followed that a bit as well. I figure at some point when im tiered of typing on mooshy (but oh so good) keys (lol) ill try out some of the others and see how they feel.
@@TheProvokedPrawnit definitely is a big issue on the Logitech keycaps and also the reason i switched now to this Razer keyboard in it's "none pro" cable version. Coming from Logitech G513 (got it replaced 4 times due to color wear off of the keycaps after 1-4 months each) and G815 (replaced 5 times with the same reasons), which I use for remote office and gaming. Never used any liquids or detergents for cleaning, just dedusting. After that Odyssey (I actually liked the typing on the linear G815 and the macro keys) I now hope this keyboard will last longer.. If there will ever be a successor for the g915, I really wish they'll use better switches and PBT doubleshot keycaps.
ive had 7 in the past 3 years lol they kept replacing because of keycaps instead of sending more out. Only the black model though the white one still good as new
Logitech's G-Hub is the worst piece of software I ever had the displeasure of using. It takes everything Logitech Gaming Software (the old soft used for Logitech's hardware) and does every single thing worse. Aside from the interface, I guess. It has a sleek, minimalistic, modern interface. It also tends to lock up on startup and require a restart sometimes. When? Usually it happens if the coin flipped by a small beggar child in the fifth poorest city of the seventh richest country on whichever continent has had a meteor strike recently falls and, guided by gravity, hits the ground and makes a sound that sounds halfway like a scream and half way like a resigned sigh. In other words, whenever the hell it wants to. I have the G915 non-TKL wireless version and G502 wireless. Love the hardware, software is atrocious. So many bugs that you keep encountering literal years after they were reported the first time... it's really bad. When it works it still lacking features LGS had years ago and when it doesn't... Without the software you can set up some basic on the onboard memory like basic lighting, DPI settings for the mouse profiles, some basic button assignments, that kinda stuff using a tool that Logitech offers. If you want full control of the device, it's G-Hub or bust which actually allows customization of lighting (rather than just basic pre-set lighting), more macro options, more button assignments etc. At least the thing I wanted the keyboard for, the volume wheel (I watch online videos that can randomly go from silent to screaming depending on the creator) works like a charm without any software installed! It's also wireless which I wanted for work and low-profile which I wanted for my pleasure so G-Hub only entered the picture when I had to actually start fighting it. Haven't used the Razer one so no idea there but I'd really advise trying out the keyboard with G-Hub installed if you have the option. I personally love the G915 but G-Hub really makes it hard to justify that to myself.
@@vetreas366 interesting. thx. Yes, Volume knob is what I seek due to monitors and sub etc for exactly same reason, random loud content changes. Looking a Keychron Q5 knob and QMMK PRO with knob too. might have to trail all 3
Do you think is it worth to upgrade from G915 TKL White Tactile to Razer DSV2 Pro TKL Linear White? I am reading a lot that razer is a lot better typing experience?
Ik this was 7mo ago lol but the linears in my opinion are terrible. They have pretty much no feedback or sound, I exchanged mine and got clicky purples and loved it. They are hotswappable tho so if you really don't like it months later you can always buy replacements
Do you need bluetooth to be able to use the hyperspeed? My computer doesnt have bluetooth but I wasn't sure if it would still connect with the dongle or if you could plug it in with a usb c cable
Anyone with the razor, I have heard that it takes a couple of seconds to wake up. Does it still register the key you pressed to wake it up or do you have to press it again?
You need to press it again, after it wakes up. But I heared if you double pair the keyboard to a razer mouse and it's dongle, it might be less of a problems. Currently don't have a razer mouse to test it myself though.
@@tilobramer8152I have the mouse pair combo, it helps but it still does it ocassionally. Not really an issue for ME cuz i never leave my keyboard long enough for it to turn off unless i'm not doing anything important so more of a minor inconvienence but an inconvienence nonetheless
I have the G915 TKL and I love it. The only issue I have with it is the fact that the secondary characters aren't lit up by the RGB, which is a big plus for the Deathstalker, but at 220 quid Razer are on crack. If it was comparable on price to the G915 I would've considered picking one up, but not at that money.

Yeah I wanted to make a switch to all Logitech
I returned my g915 but kept my Logitech mouse
Good job razer on the unique keyboard design
Your kidding right lol I assume
lol gotta be trolling
The review is spot on, only I think this G915 keyboard is the 'tactile' brown version?
G915 TKL have this and find myself clicking wrong buttons when I play my shooters. Perhaps I just have fat fingers.
Can anyone help me out? Has anyone else had an issue with you DeathStalker TKL with the battery dropping from 100% to 96% min Synapse after charging?
This is what im worried about too. I just got the Deathadder V3 pro mouse and its great but battery life is terrible. It drops from 100 to 50 in one day. I wonder if it has to do anything with Synapse? Or maybe their product are just terrible

honestly just buy magnetic ports and a magnetic cable for both mouse and keyboard, changed my life
Just get a $5 micro usb to usb c adapter. Theyre essential things for anyone to have on hand imo even if you didnt have this keyboard
@@tkzii6207 all my devices use magnetic cables as well. Both micro-usb and type-c devices are connecting to same magnets. Comfy
@@StCost Which do you recommend?
got my G915 around 3weeks ago , maybe my best purches ever i have made :) i would pick the same keyboard if i go back no doubts

Anyone knows if the UK version of the Deathstalker v2 is ISO, or ANSI? ("tall Enter" vs "long Enter")
I love my razer one but I do wish they woulda came out with a white one maybe later on they will and they can take my money again
Probably
They did it's on their website

Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro TKL have game mode?
any comment on the software bloatware performance? Can you run any of the features without installing software?

Having used both, Synapse is miles better than Ghub.

No, Bluetooth and 2.4GHz are two separate things. The Lightspeed comes from the dongle connection. It's faster than Bluetooth
Razer released a white one! YES
This voice matches perfectly with the channel's name.
I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult so I'll take it as both.

Hi
Hellooooow
Hello
@@mohammedal-zahrani4826 thanks. Sub to hear more of it
Rightly or wrongly I’m a usb snob and just can’t deal with usb-c
Why? - Would you rather it had Mini USB or Micro USB?
what the hell are you talking about LOL
usb-c = bad? lol
You would be a a USB snob if you refuse to use any products that DO NOT have USB-C. Now you're just weird. :P
