Our Verdict

Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED

Razer Huntsman V2

The Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED is a wireless gaming keyboard, while the Razer Huntsman V2 is a wired gaming keyboard. The Logitech is a full-sized, low-profile keyboard. It's available with proprietary low-profile linear, tactile, or clicky switches. You can connect it wirelessly via its USB receiver or Bluetooth, and you can pair it with up to two devices at once. On the other hand, the Razer is a high-profile board with a wrist rest. All of its keys are macro-programmable, unlike on the Logitech. Additionally, the Razer has an 8000Hz polling rate, slightly lower latency, and standard-size switches. It's available with either Razer Linear Optical or Clicky Optical switches.
