Logitech G515 Rapid TKL reviewed, fast analogue control but compromises
A recent full review evaluated Logitech’s G515 Rapid TKL and found its low profile magnetic analogue switches delivered a speedy, highly configurable typing and gaming experience. The review noted strong software features and build details, but criticized the removal of wireless connectivity and a plastic chassis at the $170 price, making the keyboard less competitive for some buyers.
A full review of the Logitech G515 Rapid TKL assessed the keyboard as a capable, fast tenkeyless option that delivers on analogue style inputs while raising questions about value and feature trade offs. At the center of the report were Logitech’s low profile magnetic analogue switches, which offered adjustable actuation and reset points through Logitech’s G Hub software and delivered rapid trigger style behaviour and multi depth input options for both gaming and creative uses.
The review praised the switches for a speedy feel and highlighted software features described as dynamic keystrokes and multi depth inputs that expand what a single key can do. Typing quality was called solid, with textured PBT caps and a two tone aesthetic that gives the Rapid TKL a refined look compared with many low profile boards. Those aspects will appeal to users who want a compact layout combined with analogue control and clear customization in software.
However the review flagged significant compromises that affect purchase decisions. Logitech removed wireless connectivity from this model, making the G515 Rapid TKL wired only. Combined with a plastic chassis at a $170 price point, the package felt like a step back from some previous Logitech offerings and from competing keyboards that still include wireless options at similar prices. The lack of wireless means verifying whether a wired board fits your setup is essential before buying.
For practical value, test the G Hub actuation and reset customization where possible, and confirm that low profile keycaps and the shorter travel suit your typing and gaming habits. Compare models that offer wireless connectivity if cable freedom matters to you, and weigh the tactile and software benefits against the chassis material and price. The verdict positions the Rapid TKL as interesting for gamers who want rapid trigger style analogue controls, but not a clear leader for buyers who prioritize wireless or premium build materials.
