"Updated switches". I'm curious if this means they're more reliable. I have a love & hate relationship with Logitech keyboards & mice. They have the best 2.4GHz (LIGHTSPEED) that I've ever used, but have the most unreliable switches with super high failure rates. Hopefully they improved this with the update also.

How can sound and feel both be in positive and negative categories?

They're making keyboards more like laptop keyboards...no number keypad.

No thanks...I'll stick with my Das Keyboard. I like the feel and function of that.

What is the point of making these keyboards when the only difference to previous models is nothing but a port, and in this case a long overdue USBC port?

Even their "newest" gaming keyboard the G Pro X TKL priced at a hefty £199.99 is only different to its predecessor the G915 TKL Lightspeed by a USBC port, something that should've been there on the G915 TKL anyway when it was manufactured and released! The only reason Logitech did this was to ensure they have a market in later years. I own the G915 TKL and removed the hassle of the micro USB port by attaching a magnetic port converter and a cable, something I bought for £5 on AliExpress. This is disastrous from Logitech, lacks innovation and deliberately made short on many new features that ought to have been added with their "newest" models just to squeeze out more money from gullible buyers in the coming years.

I had the same question for Sarah...

I bought this keyboard last week, and in my opinion this keyboard is FAR better than the G915 TKL - which I have owned for a couple of years now. Of course the materials are (in theory) better / more premium on the G915, but the stiffness of the base and feeling of the keys, etc. is much better on the G515. Also, the keys are, as far as my jugdgement goes at least, not slippery. 😉

I should add that I strongly prefer low profile keyboards, and prefer Apple's Magic Keyboard for typing - I'm a software developer during daytime. The G515 is the closest to a good combo for typing and gaming I have found, so far. And, no, I don't need the numpad, I strongly prefer without - the mouse can be much closer this way and I seldom type in large quantities of numbers. There are separate numpads for that. 😉
