Don't know if it's the best, but I really like my G515 Rapid TKL. I like the form factor, how slim it is, the design and how it feels to type/game on. And the keycaps are double shot PBT, so no flaking or peeling worries ever. It's great for both work and gaming in my opinion, which is exactly what I use it for. Hopefully the magnetic analog switches will hold up well over the time, as I've had some other Logitech keyboards that have developed double typing after a short while. Before this one, I actually had a G515 TKL Lightspeed with red linear switches, and that developed double clicking on one key after a year. I took it to the shop I bought it from, and they said I could grab another from the shelf, but they were out of the red switches, so I asked if I could grab one the magnetic analog ones since I didn't need the wireless. They said it was fine, even though it was actually a way newer variant and much more expensive. A trade I've been very happy with so far 😄

Really great. I bought two of the wireless ones. One for work and one for home. One of them starting developing double typing though, so I went to the shop to use my warranty and they said I could pick up another one from the shelf no problem. Well, they didn't have the model I had bought originally, but I asked if I could pick the G515 RAPID TKL instead, and they allowed it, even though it was quite a bit more expensive. This one is even better than the original, and I really like being able to customize the actuation points. But the normal one is great as well. Both for typing and gaming. I've seen them at half the price of the pics you've shared though.

Oh if it's CAD it's a nice price :) But yeah, consider RAPID TKL. I also THINK those types of switches should be less prone to double typing. Haven't heard of any magnetic analog switches with double typing at least.

Yep, that's right. ANSI isn't a problem for me as I began typing with this layout - as long as the keyboard is configured as "International", it will output all the characters I need. I even prefer that over the local (ABNT) layout, though, to be frank, I have no problem using either. Currently, the "small brand" keyboard that is closer to my requirements would be the Keychron K5 Max. Cheapest one available is priced at around $185 USD, exactly like the MX Keys, but, and I believe I've said it before, it lacks see-thru keys and the replacement ABS see-thru is very expensive (not to mention, they're out of stock right now). There's not much elsewhere with comparable specs. On a sidenote, the G515 TKL wireless is going for under $100, brand new (not open box, not refurbished), and that's pretty hard value to beat at this moment, from any brand, as its virtually half the price of anything that is even remotely similar to it and it is even cheaper than its price overseas (something exceedingly rare for us). Once those units end, its price is probably going back up to the +$160 again and never coming down. It's not my ideal keyboard but, at this value, it's probably best to get that and alternate with my MX Keys when I need a full-sized productivity keyboard.

Logitech G515 is good for gaming with wireless and custom keys, but the Keychron K3 Pro is really nice for typing and it's smaller. If you want something that works for both work and gaming, the Keychron might be better low-profile vs. magnetic switches? It's up to you; low-profile can be easier on your hands for long typing. Check out keyboardyeti for some info on low-profile keyboards that could help you choose.

I've been using the Lightspeed version for a while and it's my favorite! Love the key feel and overall responsiveness of it, I don't play a lot of shooters but it does make the occasional game so much more enjoyable 😊 What games are you looking to play with it?

Really depends on what you're looking for, I often switch between my G515 and Wave keys- Personally it's by far one of my favorite keyboards. I find it super comfortable, I'd say if you've already tried it at the store and liked it, it's a great sign that it might just be the perfect fit for you!

Might be a little bit over budget but I use the G515 and it's been a treat! It has a really clean typing feel, if you like low-profile boards, it's a solid choice.

I've got the G515 (Typing with it right now actually!) and honestly? It's one of my favorite keyboards along with the Wave keys. The typing feel is amazing, and even though I have it in white and tend to have it dangerously close to my paints and art supplies... it's super easy to clean haha. What specific features are you looking for?

I've had a few accidents with acrylic paint, thankfully none of it reached the inside of the keys but even then, I wiped it off immediatelly and it didn't leave a stain. I don't dare have my oil paints close to it though haha. From what I can tell, the G515 might be for you, especially with the backlights and typing sound. I've had it for probably around a year and it hasn't given me any connection issues either.

Honestly both are great options, it mostly depends on what you value more. The G515 is more low-profile/minimal and really nice for long typing sessions while still being solid for gaming. The G Pro X TKL leans more competitive with the traditional mechanical feel. The G515 is just my personal preference 😊

The logitech G515 was my first mechanical board and honestly I didn't like it. The caps are too loose and now it's on one of my employee's desks. Nuphy makes great lo-profile boards.= and I'd go with mechanical over magnetic unless you're using it almost exclusively for gaming.
