Are you looking for a keyboard that's sleek, fast, and perfect for gaming? The Logitech G515 LIGHTSPEED TKL can be suitable option! This keyboard is designed to give you a competitive edge with its lightning-fast wireless connection, low-profile keys, and customizable RGB lighting.
Design
The Logitech G515 is a slim, TKL keyboard designed to be as durable as it is premium. Weighing 880g, the all-plastic build feels as sturdy and solid as most aluminium keyboards. Although the G515 looks sleeker, it's got an extra strip above the F-key row, mostly for hosting buttons for wireless mode switching and game mode. That space could have gone towards more functional features, like discrete volume controls or media features found on many other Logitech high-end keyboards. Without it, it is a bit of a disappointment here, considering the space available.
Features
The Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL is for gamers, nailing premium performance with impressive build quality and comfort to last through marathon gaming sessions. Its crowning glory is its brilliant latency performance, ensuring zero lag, whether wired or wireless, thanks to a 1000Hz polling rate that means instant key registration upon every stroke critical for competitive gameplay. It also features fully customizable per-key RGB lighting with shine-through keycaps to customize the look of a user's setup.
Limitations
The Logitech G515 has a few trade-offs. While performance is outstanding, hardware customizability is not an option with it as it is with some higher-end keyboards. It's also a pretty hefty investment in that it's rather expensive for its class and its weight makes it less portable for those on the go. Without a palm rest, it will hurt to use after some time, and the software it comes with is quite resource-intensive, which could be a bane to people who like simplicity.
