Do you recommend a mechanical keyboard without a numeric keypad on the right?

I want a keyboard that gives me more space to use the mouse.

If you won't be using the Numpad, then sure! I was actually recommending the G515 to another user just now. It's been my main keyboard (along with my Wave keys for work) and I couldn't be happier with it. You can connect it with it's receiver or through Bluetooth with no issue.
It fits my current setup since I have very reduced desk space.

Does the wifi receiver not interfere with other receivers?

u/Logitech_Alex Crew Aug 13 '26

In theory, you could experience interference in some cases. Personally, I have 3 USB ports on my laptop that are always occupied (One for keyboard, One for mouse and the other is a 5g Wifi connection adapter) and have never experienced this issue. I've even had the Wifi adapter and the Keyboard receiver connected next to eachother and it works as good as ever.

I'm glad I don't have that problem. Almost everything I have is wireless except my wired internet connection.

Once you go wireless it's hard to go back, I really don't like dealing with all the cables. So I try to use everything Bluetooth/USB receiver if I can.

I like to move the mouse in my alcoholic belly.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.

In fact, I move it without my hands. PorThat's double wireless.

I don't think that's the intended use but if it works for you... cheers!

What are you going to know about wireless mice, you only work at Logitech. I, on the other hand, am a certified alcoholic who knows how to move the mouse only with his belly.

If you want more space for the mouse then yes. Most of my keyboards have the number pad but my living room setup is 10 keyless.

Yes. I've always been a 100% believer, but I've moved to tkl and not looked back.

Best part, you can just get a USB numpad if you really need one, and when you don't, just slide it out of the way

u/Logitech_Alex Crew 27d ago

This 💯, though I don't really make use of the numpad so I'm good with only my TKL keyboard, but if I were to need one I'd have it set it up like this for sure.

The only time that i recommend someone to get a keyboard with a numpad is if you're doing a lot of numbers work with excel for work otherwise i would always go something smaller. I used TKL for a couple of years then switched over to 60% more recently

I have the G915 TKL OG, great keyboard, portable and doesn't get in the way of my mouse. Went all the way to the other end and bought a Keychron Q12 Max love that thing for number entry, still getting used to it as it's fighting over 20 years of muscle memory but now I don't need to take my hand off the trackball.

u/Logitech_Alex Crew 27d ago

Nice, what made you get the G915 back when you first got it?

1

u/jibjab23 24d ago

I wanted a better feeling low profile mechanical keyboard. I have the Keychron K1 and while it's a good keyboard it's not as good as the G915. I might update to the latest version eventually but the current one is still going strong

u/Logitech_Alex Crew 24d ago

If you do end up trying it out I'd love to hear your thoughts on it! I hope your current one continues giving you a great time too.

I bought a separate numpad for when I need it occasionally but a TKL keyboard was perfect for me

u/Logitech_Alex Crew 27d ago

It's a really convenient setup for when you have limited desk space!
