Logitech announces two new keyboards today in the G915 and the G815
Logitech has some spiffy new gaming keyboards out today that'll provide fast response and add some color to your desk.
For those that want to go wireless, there's the new G915 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard that takes advantage of Logitech's LIGHTSPEED tech for ultra-fast 1ms report rate. Paired with one of their wireless LIGHTSPEED gaming mice, you can have a completely wireless gaming setup that's just as fast as a wired one.
LIGHTSYNC will be available which you can use the G HUB software to customize and synchronize the color of the keys.
Speaking of keys, the keyboard features Logitech's low profile GL mechanical switches, which they tout as having 25% faster actuation compared to standard switches. There are three options to choose from, each offering a different feel and sound when pressed.
When on battery, you can get up to 135 days of wireless gaming with the lights turned off and 12 days of gaming with it on, with days measured in eight hours of computer usage. When low on power, you can plug it into a USB port to have it charge and continue to use it at the same time.
Now if you just wanted the wired version, you can grab the G815 LIGHTSYNC RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard and not worry about battery life. You'll also save a few bucks to boot compared to the G915.
The G915 is available this month for $249.99 while the G815 will be on sale for $199.99.
