About this deal

The overall build of the Logitech is one of its most appealing features. The aluminium case makes the G815 feel like a truly modern gaming peripheral. The premium feel of the G815 is let down slightly by the plastic bottom of the keyboard, but you’ll rarely be looking at this of course. The casing feels extremely sturdy though, so you shouldn’t be concerned about damage when lugging it around. Logitech’s G Hub also offers a great set of options for programming the macro keys, allowing for more elaborate commands.

The trim nature of the G815 makes it more portable than most gaming keyboards and easier to move around for the occasional trip from point A to point B. But with the keyboard measuring in at 475mm long, d on’t expect to be carrying it in a small bag.The Logitech G815 Lightsync RGB is one of the best-looking gaming keyboards currently available, evoking similar vibes of pro gaming gear like the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller. The G815 doesn’t look to stand out via attention-grabbing design and sharp edges – instead, Logitech has opted for the sleek and minimalist look, and it’s worked wonders.

The compact size of the Logitech G815 is partly owed to its low-profile keys. Some ardent gamers may not be a fan of this approach, preferring the chunky keys of your typical mechanical keyboard, but the results don’t feel too different from the norm.

The Logitech G815 Lightsync RGB also offers a set of five gaming macros which are easily accessible down the left side of the keyboard and are GL Linear switches just like the rest of the keyboard. This allows you to customise your own shortcut inputs for any game you wish. The switches act and react in line with the GL Linear’s target audience of MMO and action game fans, offering 2.7mm of total travel and requiring an average force of 50gf.

Logitech G Hub really isn’t that far behind Synapse though, and it does feel like splitting hairs between the two software setups. The difference won’t be an issue for most, unless you want your whole room lighting up in tandem. Another handy feature is Game Mode. The G815 comes with a button that deactivate keys not typically used when gaming, preventing you from accidentally hitting any of them when playing. I personally don’t think Game Mode is solving a big issue, but it’s a nice bonus to have. Logitech’s G Hub software is extremely accessible for those who may be new to the delights of macros and custom lighting.Logitech G Hub falls a bit short of rivals like Razer Synapse when it comes to support with exterior peripherals and nitty gritty customisation. While G Hub is pleasant to use, Synapse feels like software made for professional gamers with the visuals to match. Size: First and foremost, you should make sure you're buying a keyboard that fits your desk and your hand size, whether it's a full-size keyboard or a TKL. An amusing side note is that while the Game Mode is designed to reduce the risk of accidental activation of certain keys, it's very easy to accidentally activate the other additional keys on the keyboard. Along the left side, the Logitech G815 has five macro keys and the issue is that they are so close to the others that I keep pressing G5 rather than CTRL, up to a quarter of the time. Frankly, this is the biggest irritation I have with the keyboard and I can't imagine that giving the G keys an extra few mm of space would have been difficult. Lighting: Lighting doesn't just make your keyboard look cool, it also helps you see the keys you're pressing when you're gaming or typing in the dark. And, lighting can be programmed with LIGHTSYNC RGB to color code your keys to stand out. This is great for games with special key commands. Keeping on the topic of the G-Hub software, there are a wide number of customisation options. I mentioned the five G keys, you can create whatever macro you like and attach this to one of the keys. In addition to this, you have free reign to simply assign the key to launch any program at the touch of the key. Thanks to the fact you have three profiles, you do have up to fifteen macro keys at your disposal.
