Our Verdict

Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED

Logitech G915 X

The Logitech G915 X and the Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED are low-profile mechanical gaming keyboards in the same product lineup. Both keyboards offer similar raw gaming performance, but the G915 X is a newer model with wired-only connectivity. It has slightly better build quality with a thicker aluminum top plate and higher-quality PBT keycaps. Comparatively, the G915 LIGHTSPEED is an older model with wireless connectivity and cheaper ABS keycaps, which are more prone to developing a shiny, slippery finish with extended use.
