Logitech G815 LIGHTSYNC RGB mechanical keyboard, reviewed

Keyboards are seeing a healthy comeback, why do all your writing, typing and gaming on the default keyboard. Especially when keyboards like the G815 from Logitech can improve your gaming performance. You still have to be a good gamer of course, but all the features hard baked into this keyboard are intended to make using the keyboard a pleasure to use.

We set our younger testers loose on this one, and the verdict was an enthusiastic thumbs up. The spring-back bounciness of the keys was a big hit, and the additional power G-keys were a hit once they worked out which ones did which. The bells and whistles, aka the light shows that the keys can perform were also popular too. The pedant might argue that you don’t need your keyboard to do stuff like this, but if it can, then why not, and especially for the younger user, what’s not to like. The ergonomically thought through design features also make sense and can only help as we use our devices to do more and more.

A great potential xmas present!
