This is a video compare the Logitech G915 TKL (in two different versions) with the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL. This might not make much sense as the Logitech is wireless and SteelSeries is not, but they both have really awesome features that make them appealing. One is comfortable with superb low-slung keys, long battery life and convenient features, the other is incredibly customisable and a joy to use.
