Summary

The Logitech G715 Aurora is a TKL wireless mechanical keyboard that targets aesthetics-first gamers, particularly those drawn to the pastel Aurora colorway and soft RGB lighting. Reddit sentiment is genuinely mixed — owners often fall in love with the look and feel, while the broader mechanical keyboard community consistently pushes back on the value proposition when better-specced competitors exist at the same price. The keyboard supports standard MX-style keycaps, giving it decent customization appeal, but the non-hotswappable switches and aging battery life compared to newer Logitech models make it a harder sell as time goes on. G-Hub software complaints are a recurring theme, with users flagging it as one of the worst peripheral apps in the space.

Pros

  • Stunning aesthetic that stands out in person — the Aurora pastel colorway with vibrant RGB genuinely impresses owners who prioritize desk aesthetics
  • Full-height standard MX-style keycaps allow easy customization with third-party keycap sets like SteelSeries PrismCaps or Corsair options
  • Logitech Lightspeed 2.4GHz wireless delivers reliable, low-latency connectivity for both gaming and office use
  • Comfortable full-height keycap profile suits users switching from traditional keyboards who find low-profile switches like the G915 fatiguing over long sessions
  • Multiple switch options (linear, tactile, clicky) give buyers control over typing feel at purchase
  • Dual connectivity (2.4GHz + Bluetooth) makes it versatile across desktop and secondary device use

Cons

  • Switches are soldered to the PCB — not hotswappable — locking buyers into their switch choice without desoldering work
  • 30-hour battery rating is noticeably worse than the G Pro X TKL's 50-hour rating, a direct competitor at the same price point
  • G-Hub software is widely criticized as one of the worst RGB control apps in the category, lacking layer-based lighting effects that Razer's Synapse has offered for years
  • No color option beyond the Aurora pastel palette — users wanting black have no official option despite frequent community requests
  • Value questioned repeatedly: the mechanical keyboard community consistently points to better-built alternatives at the same or lower price
  • No numpad, and no onboard Fn key indicator LED despite every key having its own backlight — a puzzling omission flagged by multiple users

G-Hub Is Still the Elephant in the Room

Users love the hardware but G-Hub continues to draw criticism across threads — no support for layered RGB effects, unreliable profiles, and general bugginess undercuts what is otherwise a capable keyboard.

Looks Great, But the Competition Has Caught Up

When the G715 launched, it filled a unique niche. Now the G Pro X TKL offers a longer battery, newer components, and a carrying case at the same price — making the G715 harder to recommend on specs alone.

Writers and Creative Users Are Quietly Its Biggest Fans

While marketed as a gaming keyboard, several Reddit users specifically praise the G715 for long writing sessions, citing the full-height keycap profile as more comfortable over hours than the flat G915 switches.

Can't do it. Impossible. Because G-Hub is a dogshit app that only allows you to use one global effect at a time, no layering or combining like for e.g. Razer which has had this ability for years. It's a shame really, because their keyboards are actually pretty great.

Well if logitech says their keyboard isn't hotswappable it is bc it isn't. The switches are soldered into the pcb. If you want to add your own switches desolder old switches from pcb and solder new switches. Or get a hotswap pcb.

I have been using the G915 TKL for several months and just got the G715 on sale. I like the G715 better, due to the full height keys instead of the G915's flat ones which I never could get quite used to and caused me trouble when typing for longer periods of time. Functionality of both keyboards is pretty much the same, so it depends which kind of keys you prefer.

Unless you particularly like the Logitech brand there is simply better option for the same price (on top of lasting longer, it's really not a sturdy keyboard IMO).

Both boards are very similar. I believe the switches and keycap material is the same. The general layout and key height/travel are also the same. Connectivity is the same. Price is the same. The only differences I could find are: Aesthetic design differs. Lighting on the G715 is fancier. Battery on the G Pro X TKL is rated to 50 hours. G715 is rated to 30 hours. G Pro X TKL is a newer release.

I just switched from a Razer Huntsman Mini to a G715 and I can say that I'm in love with it.

From looking at the specs on the website, it looks like it uses an ANSI layout (standard US keyboard) as a base while the Hungarian keyboard uses an ISO layout if I recall correctly. The difference is the shape of the Enter key and the number of keys (87 for ANSI vs 88 for ISO). If being able to use your usual layout for typing is important, then you can find other keyboards models that do offer at least an ISO layout if not Hungarian.

Too bad it doesn't have the clearly necessary numpad.

I was able to connect the keyboard but it seems that there are a few connection issues. It did go in and out sometimes with some latency and with that connected I wasn't able to use certain mouses as well. PS5 so far seems corded works best.

I have the G715, and I really really like it. It has a great aesthetic, and the color palette is very vibrant....it's something that you have to see in person to fully appreciate. However, my favorite part of it is the shape, texture, and feel of the keys — it matches up to my hands perfectly.

On the G715 it has one onboard profile. The Fn key switches between regular F1-12 buttons to whatever you set in LgHub (macros or the likes). However, they forgot to add some kind of indicator of when the Fn key is toggled on or off, which is just such a derp moment tbh.

Don't downgrade. If you want something nice then look into keychron, monsgeek, qwertykeys.com, aula f75/99, leobog hi75/98.

I've been using the g715 since release with the clicks keys. So far its been good, the keyboard itself feels nice if you like the more mechanical feel, but not 200$ worth if your into your own customization. Keys can be replaced and the cover can come off to paint your own if you wanted. The key switches are not hotswap so you buy the switches you like.

For the price I'd rather just get something with optical switches like the Apex pro or K70 (opx). But this sure does look really nice!

When the F**k are they going to make this keyboard in black!? The G915 TKL version is outdated and I did not like. I like this keyboard I just don't want it in white, green or pink.

I wish they made it available in more colours. I honestly went Nuphy Air 75 over this because I just don't like the overall pastel tone of its colours (that and I prefer low profile over full height cap).

Also went with the G Pro X TKL! Super similar, but I liked the lighting, battery, and the case it came with (not sure how much I will travel with it, but pretty nifty).

Originally I bought the clicky keys and there was some pressure to hit keys so there weren't some accidental clicks, but I ended up swapping the switches out and soldering new ones in. If you're thinking about getting one, make sure it uses a linear switch as I think they are the best of the three options they gave.

I don't like the wrist rest and the full size keycaps, it seems different from g915.

Im looking at the g715 on amazon and considering getting a "used-like new" one thats available for half price. Always sceptical buying used over the internet without being able to see it though.
