Logitech Announces G915 Lightspeed and G815 Lightsync RGB Mechanical Keyboards

Logitech G, a brand of Logitech and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear, today introduced two new high-performance gaming keyboards - the LogitechⓇ G915 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard and the LogitechⓇ G815 LIGHTSYNC RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. By combining Logitech G's advanced LIGHTSPEED wireless technology, with its new high-performance, low-profile GL Switches, these new keyboards were designed and built to be the most advanced and innovative keyboards imaginable.

"These new keyboards are perfect examples of what's possible when our award-winning designers and engineers at Logitech G push the envelope of advanced gaming technology and design," said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of Logitech Gaming. "The G915 combines LIGHTSPEED Wireless, RGB lighting and amazing battery life in a sleek, ultra-thin, aluminium case that creates a new standard for gaming keyboards."

This premium keyboard features Logitech G's award-winning LIGHTSPEED Wireless technology for a lightning fast, pro-grade 1ms report rate and up to 135 days of non-stop wireless gaming, with lighting turned off (assuming eight hours of play per day). The G915 LIGHTSPEED also includes five on-board programmable G-keys, putting custom macro sequences and in-app commands at your fingertips.

For the first time in the gaming industry, Logitech G is offering its next-generation LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting on a LIGHTSPEED Wireless keyboard. With LIGHTSYNC, this keyboard can be personalized across approximately 16.8 million colors through Logitech G HUB Advanced Gaming Software for the most immersive RGB gaming experience. With RGB colorwave enabled, gamers can play for over 12 days on a single charge (assuming eight hours of play per day).

The ultra-thin, wired G815 LIGHTSYNC offers the same great style and finish of the G915 LIGHTSPEED, with five dedicated, programmable G-keys, up to three on-board profiles and Logitech G's LIGHTSYNC RGB technology, customizable through Logitech G HUB. Additionally included is a USB cable that connects the USB 2.0 passthrough port to its own input for 100 percent power throughout.

Both the G915 LIGHTSPEED and G815 LIGHTSYNC mechanical gaming keyboards feature Logitech G's high-performance, low-profile GL mechanical key switches that are half the height of standard mechanical key switches for 25 percent faster actuation (versus 2.0 mm actuation in standard switches) and a more comfortable typing experience. Available in choice of GL Linear, GL Tactile or GL Clicky switches to match play preferences, the tactile version gives discernible actuation for gamers who prefer direct feedback, while the linear version provides a smooth keystroke. The clicky version offers a much-requested audible typing experience with tactile feedback.

All of these technologies and innovations have been carefully engineered into two of the industry's thinnest mechanical keyboards and Logitech G's most advanced mechanical gaming keyboards to date.

Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard and the Logitech G815 LIGHTSYNC RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard are expected to be available on LogitechG.com and at global retailers in August 2019 for suggested retail prices of $249.99 and $199.99, respectively.

TheLostSwedeBecause it's a much more reliable, solid connector that doesn't break at easily?

1. The connector on the cables break, seems to happen on a lot of different cable types.
2. The connector comes off the PCB, not that hard with some types of connectors, as not all are through hole. The physical connector is actually really fragile and can easily be damaged.
3. The connector is inserted up-side-down, which is possible with micro USB, the "blade" inside the micro USB connector is damaged (no, I haven't done this).
4. Cheaper cables simply seem to stop working over time, might happen in the future on USB-C as well.

I'm sure there are more ways.

USB C is for those dumbass's who don't know how to careful and just continue to mistreat everything they own. I've never broken or forced a micro usb connector nor have I ever had a cable go poo on me

TheLostSwedeWhat a bargain, only $250 for a keyboard. /s

Seriously though, what makes it worth $250?


30h battery life? That has to be a new remarkably low record for a keyboard. Why does a keyboard need to have a light weight battery pack? Or the extra $2 for a larger battery pack was too much of a BOM increase for a $250 keyboard?

Sames goes for the use of micro USB, why isn't this USB-C? It's 2019, not 2009...

Also, why do all the keyboards with a volume roller have it on the right hand side instead of the left? I think the majority of people have the mouse in their right hand, which makes it hard to easily adjust the volume...
You sound like the world owes you something.
