![]() ![]() Ironically, those switches are also made by Kalih, as both manufacturers decided to shy away from Cherry some years ago and replace them with other switch manufacturers. They offer something a little different to Cherry MX Blues and are more comparable to the Green switches found on the latest Razer Blackwidow, sharing an identical actuation force. Nice-looking, but noisy: Your co-workers might not like you for using the Logitech G915 Lightspeed in the office.Ī 50cN actuation force makes these GL switches light and clicky at the same time, making them rather pleasant in day-to-day usage, offering the best of both worlds in terms of a lighter keystroke and a sweet clicky sound. ![]() As a result, Logitech suggest you can type 25% faster. Logitech claims this gives its keys 25% less total travel than a standard switch supplied by Cherry, Gateron, or Kalih. T he variant we were supplied with featured the white ‘Clicky’ switches, complete with an actuation force of 50cN, a total travel of 3mm and an actutation point of 1.5mm. The three GL switches available on the Logitech G915 Lightspeed Keyboard include GL Tactile, GL Linear and GL Clicky. The GL switches are somewhat similar to Cherry’s ML switches which can be found on multiple gaming keyboards. They’re part of a new venture between Logitech and Chinese manufacturer Kalih, who also make switches for both Razer and other manufacturers. The G915 comes with a choice of three low profile switches which Logitech call their ‘GL’ line. Logitech G915 Lightspeed Keyboard – Performance There’s also changeable brightness present for the backlighting and a button with a joystick icon designed to put the G915 into ‘Game Mode’, giving users the ability to lock certain keys when gaming, which is really handy. The M keys allow for on-the-fly changing of lighting profiles, although with the software not installed, the options are severely limited.ĭesignated icon keys include switchable connectivity for the G915 through either the Lightspeed receiver or a standard Bluetooth connection, allowing you to connect to two devices simultaneously and switch between them seamlessly. Just above the normal selection of F keys comes eight different keys – some marked with the letter ‘M’ (M1, M2, M3, MR) and then some with designated icons adjacent to them on the right. Hotkeys for changing lighting profiles on the fly are easily within reach What’s more, the two lights present are a little small to see when compared to some sets of lock lights like that of the Mad Catz Strike 4. Wireless keyboards don’t usually feature lock lights at all and whilst the G915 features both Caps Lock and Battery indicators above the F10 and F11 keys, there’s no indication for both Num Lock and Scroll Lock. The metal top plate is pretty much standard issue these days, but that doesn’t detract from the G915’s stylish feel, although the corners have slightly sharp edges you might want to be weary of when moving it around. It’s a mostly plastic construction, with a curved metal top plate consisting of an alloy of aluminium and magnesium lining the top of the board in a sleek fashion. Much like a large sector of the market these days, Logitech’s G915 comes complete with a skeletal and slim design, with height of just 22mm.
