Looks like the folks from Logitech are giving the gaming keyboard market a game changer as they've come out with the Logitech G515. Best of all, it's wireless!

Elevating the gaming experience to new heights, Logitech G, a leading brand under Logitech has recently unveiled its latest innovation in gaming technology — the G515 LIGHTSPEED TKL Wireless Gaming Keyboard.


This new release is a testament to Logitech G’s commitment to merging advanced technology with sleek, modern design to deliver unmatched performance and comfort for gamers.


Revolutionary Low-Profile Design

The Logitech G515 is designed to stand out with its ultra-slim profile and low-profile switches. This design not only provides a visually appealing, clutter-free look but also enhances the typing experience, making it both efficient and comfortable. By incorporating low-profile switches, the G515 allows for faster and more precise keystrokes, essential for high-performance gaming.


“With the G915 gaming keyboard, Logitech G set a new standard for low-profile gaming keyboards,” said Arnaud Perret-Gentil, Head of PC Gaming at Logitech G. “The G515 takes this a step further by integrating our latest technologies such as LIGHTSPEED, LIGHTSYNC, and KEYCONTROL, ensuring gamers have a top-tier, customizable experience.”

To enhance the overall typing experience, the G515 is equipped with sound-dampening foam, pre-lubricated switches, integrated stabilizers, and premium PBT keycaps. This ensures each keystroke feels smooth and produces a refined, less scratchy sound.


Unprecedented Customization with KEYCONTROL


The G515 shines with its advanced KEYCONTROL technology, offering customization capabilities far beyond standard keyboards. Each key can perform up to 15 different actions, allowing gamers to personalize their setups with macros, audio cues, lighting effects, and more. KEYCONTROL’s layers and modifiers, such as G SHIFT, provide limitless customization possibilities, enabling entire key layouts to be switched at the press of a button.
