Our Verdict

Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED

Logitech G715

The Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED and the Logitech G715 are two high-end gaming keyboards with notable differences. The G915 is a full-size keyboard that uses low-profile GL switches and keycaps, which offer a shorter pre-travel distance and better ergonomics so keypresses feel more sensitive. The G915 also has slightly better latency, though the difference is only a few milliseconds, so you won't notice it. On the other hand, the G715 is a TenKeyLess keyboard that gives you more space on your desk for mouse movements, and it uses standard height GX switches, so it feels more like a typical mechanical keyboard. It also includes a wrist rest for added support.
