Logitech is going low profile with its G515 Lightspeed Gaming Keyboard

Logitech is upping its game with the launch today of the new G515 LIGHTSPEED TKL Wireless Gaming Keyboard. Part of the Logi G sub-brand, this new keyboard offers some high-performance features in a low profile and more modern format than traditional mechanical gaming keyboards.

Low-profile keyboards have a sleeker design, although they still use the same mechanical switch technology found in high-end gaming keyboards. The slimmer profile means shorter keystroke detection distances, allowing gamers to play more comfortably without increasing the number of actions per minute.

The G515 takes up less desk space and offers a more comfortable typing experience, enhancing gameplay without compromising on traditional features. The low-profile design provides faster keystrokes, allowing gamers to respond faster during intense gaming sessions. At just 22mm tall, the G515 doesn’t need a wrist rest

The low-profile switches used in the G515 have an actuation distance of just 1.3mm and a total travel distance of 3.2mm, shorter than traditional mechanical keyboard switches. The lightweight design and simplified construction make for more efficient games and comfortable actions during the game.

The G515 has a layer of sound-deadening foam, and the shifters and stabilizers are pre-lubricated at the factory for smoother response. The high-quality PBT keys provide a smooth typing experience and are durable in use, even when the game gets a little intense.

In terms of advanced technology, the G515 keyboard features Logitech G’s recently announced KEYCONTROL technology. This allows gamers to customize the keyboard extensively. Each key can perform up to 15 different actions, so gamers can customize their keyboard and assign macros, audio signals and lighting effects to the keys.

KEYCONTROL also has the ability to add layers and modifiers like G SHIFT for increased customization options. Entire custom layouts can be toggled with the press of a key. G HUB community members can even exchange custom designs with other enthusiasts.

The G515 also features Logitech’s LIGHTSPEED wireless pairing, which allows gamers to connect their gaming mouse – such as the G502 X PLUS – via the G515 LIGHTSPEED dongle. This also frees up an extra USB port.

With LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting, gamers can customize their keyboard with a choice of 16.8 million colors and can connect all their Logitech G gear using the G HUB. The keyboard has three connection modes: LIGHTSPEED wireless, Bluetooth and USB-C cable mode. A full charge of the G515’s built-in battery can provide up to 36 hours of continuous play before needing a recharge.
