Question 1

Did anyone actually use this and not just give it a horrible rating cuz of price?

Accepted Answer

I bought one and returned it the next day.  It was the G915 (wireless) full keyboard with "clicky" switches.  Here is why:
- First off, they punctuation symbols on the keyboard are all reversed! OK, you might not think this is a big deal until you are using the thing in low light and discover that you can not see all of the symbols and that they are invisible. Only one set of the symbols lights up in the dark and they put all of those on top of the normal "shifted" symbol. It is confusing as all get out in low-light especially when you cannot find say the "^" carrot symbol or verify which number key has the opening paren. Every keyboard I have ever owned has the unshifted character on the bottom, and the shifted character printed on the top. Not with this keyboard, they reversed it and hide half the symbols in low light.
- Next, and this will be personal preference I am sure, but the local BestBuy only had "clicky" versions of this keyboard. I used it for one day and had to return it. The clicky version is TOO CLICKY LOUD. I could not use it on conference calls. The keys traveled a little more than I thought they should for a "low-profile" keyboard too. Again, this is my personal preferences and your mileage may completely vary based on your likes.
- AND, the RGB is underwhelming. It is not very bright. The three built-in color modes sort of suck. Ok, the first one, which is a default rainbox wave is ok and looks good, but the other two are horrid. The other two is a breathing mode stuck on a single color going in and out. The other mode was --well I couldn't figure it out. Most of the time the keys looked like they were simply backlit in white color with no animations. Yes, I know there is software to download and install on your WINDOWS PC to be able to adjust all of that, but out of the box couldn't of they have at least made 6-8 built-in animations that you did not need software for?
- FINALLY, there is not wrist rest. Most quality keyboards come with a wrist rest that matches or is made to be used with the keyboard. Not this one. For this price range it should have a wrist rest. They keyboard is a little wider than a standard keyboard thanks to the extra Macro/Function keys on the left. So finding a wrist rest that aligns up with the keyboard is very difficult. I actually wanted a keyboard with extra function keys for macros built in, but I also need a matching wrist rest too.

I really wanted this keyboard for a long time. I purchased it and then was really dissatisfied with what I got. Bummer.

Question 2

The first photo shows an iso layout with the "7" shaped return key.  that's not the one they actually ship to us addresses is it?

Accepted Answer

No; I live in the US and received a standard ANSI layout

Question 3

Usb c or micro for the charge port?

Accepted Answer

Sadly, they still have not adapted to USB-C yet. It is a micro usb charge port.

Question 4

Can you use this keyboard wired, or does it have to be wirelessly?

Accepted Answer

You can use the keyboard wired and wireless. I'm actually using it wired for my gaming pc and bluetooth to my streaming pc, with a press of a button I switch between the two.
