Logitech G on the G915X:
The G915 X features a completely redesigned galvanic switch. The original switches’ hook-style stem were replaced with a new POM, cross-style stem. This new design improves the overall stability of the key for a better and quieter typing experience and simplifies the replacement or customization of your keycaps.
In addition, the switches’ actuation point was reduced from 1.5 to 1.3mm, resulting in quicker actuation. PBT keycaps were added and upgraded from ABS to double-shot, shine-through PBT, which offers better resistance to wear and reduces the visibility of potential oil from your fingers.
The build quality is key to a superior typing experience. The aluminum top plate thickness was increased from 1.2 to 1.5 mm, improving the product’s structural strength and adding the final touch of improvement to an already-loved typing experience.
Moreover, the battery life was improved compared to the original without compromising performance. With backlighting off, the full-size version of the G915 X LIGHTSPEED delivers up to 800 hours of battery life. At a hundred percent RGB brightness and on LIGHTSPEED, it offers up to 36 hours of continuous use, a twenty percent improvement over the original. The tenkeyless version offers up to 1000 hours with lighting off and 42 hours of battery life at 100 percent brightness.
In addition to the original volume roller, G key, and media buttons, the G915 X adds another powerful tool for control and customization. With KEYCONTROL, any key can become a powerful macro that combines multiple commands into a single keypress. Turn the numpad into a full gaming command center, or combine it with the G shift key on your mouse to give all the keys on your keyboard a different set of commands.
