Other keyboards that we love

Logitech Pro X TKL for $ 200: Logitech makes large keyboards, and the G Pro X TKL is among the best game keyboards. It has vibrant RGB RGB keys, a choice of clicky, touch or linear switches, and it uses the Lightspeed Logitech Lightspeed wireless adapter for the response time in the competitive game. The quality of construction of this keyboard is smooth and elegant. It is minimal and does not take up much space on your desk, and it has a subtle metal edge around the edge which gives it a little flair that the simplest keyboards are lacking. The volume wheel at the top right is smooth and easy to reach, and along the top are practical media commands so that you can suspend your music when you finally enter a game after a long queue. For my tastes, the click a keyboard, the better, and the Black Clicky switches served me well. Each key pressure feels like you are sending a little thunder to my game. However, if you prefer something softer, you can choose another type of switch. The only thing I don’t like is the lack of Numpad – yes, I am one of those scranges who prefer to have a Numpad.
Logitech Pro X 60 for $ 180: Pro X 60 (8/10, Wired recommends) presents practically all the advantages of the pro X TKL in a smaller and more compact set. It maintains the volume wheel, the switch in game mode and the Bluetooth / Lightspeed buttons by moving them on the edges of the keyboard, while reducing everything to a 60%arrangement.
Logitech Pop Keys for $ 100: The POP keys (9/10, Wired recommend) is a dynamic line of wireless keyboards that arise in a wide variety of color palettes that are delicious. It also uses the logitech system to associate with up to three devices, which facilitates the socket between your PC and your laptop, or from home to work and back.

Logitech MX Keys S for $ 128: MX keys can associate with three devices, which facilitates the exchange between computers. Its low-profile chiclet style keys are comfortable and use local sensors to activate the key backlight when your hands are approaching, so it is easier to see in darkness without wasting the battery when you do not use it. It supports Mac and Windows arrangements, and the keys are tastefully labeled in a way that it is clear, regardless of the one you use at the time. The battery life is also fantastic, which lasts much more than a week with normal use, although it becomes a little longer if you deactivate the backlight.
Logitech MX Mechanical for $ 170: With a discreet and low -profile design, you can associate the MX mechanics with up to three devices at a time and exchange with the push of a button. There are even a few additional practical buttons just above the Numpad to launch a calculator or lock your office.
Turtle Beach Vulcan II TKL Pro for $ 150: The Vulcan II TKL Pro has two LEDs per key, which gives it better resolution for lighting effects. It has room switches, which should reduce wear. They are always satisfactory and the volume button has a comfortably adhered texture. I prefer any keyboard with a volume wheel to one without.

Corsair K65 for $ 160: This 75% keyboard has some of the softest and most comfortable keys of any card I tested. It is light enough to mix in a bag, but robust enough to be your office keyboard. It can connect via USB-C, Bluetooth or a wireless dongle that can be stored in a slot on the back. An elegant metal volume button adorns the upper right corner, and each key and switch can be exchanged using the withdrawal tool included.
Razer Huntsman Mini for $ 89: A 60% keyboard has 60% of the keys normally found on a regular size keyboard. Numpad and arrow keys are cut and you end up with the essential elements. The Razer Huntsman Mini is one of my favorites of this size for the game. It seems just as responsive and fast as a full -size keyboard, but it occupies much less office space. There is just something neat and ordered about it. In addition, like the largest Huntsman Elite, the mini is compatible with the Keycap kits of Razer, so that you can personalize your color diagram.
Keychron Q1 Il for $ 240: The Keychron Q1 HE (9/10, Wired recommends) is one of the best advice we have tested that use rooms with room effect. You can customize the acting point to make the keys more sensitive – so you don’t have to support them to the end so that the keys register – or less sensitive, to avoid the moments of large -deigm which can ruin competitive games. Keychron even has quick trigger parameters that allow you to press a key several times without the key fully returning to its rest position. Even apart from the advantages of Hall effect switches, this is another large keyboard in accordance with the type for which Keychron is known, so it’s worth it even if you don’t want to pay that Lots of attention to all aspects of your keys.

NZXT 2 function for $ 140: The original NZXT function was a great way for anyone interested in mechanical keyboards to jump without being exceeded. The tracking function 2 (8/10, Wired recommends) improves on almost all ways. It improves the keys to optical switches and is delivered with a set of spare switches which have a little more (or a little less) of resistance, so that you can personalize specific keys according to your needs. I found it particularly useful for games like Overwatch 2, Where I would like to reduce these ultimate fat finger that are so embarrassing. The function 2 keeps many of my favorite features of the first model. It has the same left volume roller, the super soft touch and the practical buttons along the side of the keyboard. If you are interested in mechanical keyboards but you are intimidated by sentences such as “actuation force”, this is an excellent table to start.
Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL for $ 200: The Huntsman V3 Pro TKL is a robust keyboard for those who like to change their game configuration. It uses the analog optical switches from Razer, which are satisfactorily. At the top right, there is a multimedia button that controls the volume, which you can also click for dumb. However, it is the most interesting buttons. On the left, there are two programmable macro keys that you can use to customize different commands for your games (or your work). Below, on the navigation keys, there are six profile shortcuts. Hold FN and press one of them, and you can exchange between several predefined profiles, adapted to specific game needs such as FPS mode, running mode or high sensitivity mode when you have to remove this hair trigger. All this can be personalized in the Razer Synapse application. We have tested many keyboards with different personalization options, but it is particularly good for players who exchange a lot of profiles. The keyboard connects using a USB-C cable, included with the device, and it also comes with a magnetic rest.
Razer Blackwidow V4 75% for $ 190: The Razer Blackwidow V4 (8/10, Wired recommends) has a robust metal housing, hot switches and Razer robust synapse software to customize your keyboard. He also won our best notes if you are looking for a mechanical keyboard specifically for games. The 75% arrangement is small enough for you to leave a lot of room for your mouse, which makes these films to get a much easier couple in competitive games. The 8,000 Hz survey rate also helps reduce the times when you fail to activate a capacity by this almost imperceptible fraction of a second.
Steelseries Apex Pro for $ 200: Rather than choosing a switch for the Apex Pro keyboard, Steelseries has decided to allow them all. Not only is it a colorful game keyboard with many bells and whistles, but it also has mechanical switches that can be personalized per key To offer you a unique typing experience. In addition, it has a small LED screen for system alerts, volume and other fun things that you can play with the use of Steelseries.
Corsair K100 RVB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for $ 284: In many ways, the Corsair K100 RGB is a fairly standard keyboard, with RGB backlights, a few programmable macro keys and a volume roll. What distinguishes it, however, is the control wheel in the upper left corner. This dial can be rubbed through the supports, control the lighting on the keyboard and control several other integrated functions. The dial can also be personalized. In my tests, it could be a little capricious in certain applications – I could not have it rubbed properly in the chronology of Premiere Pro, for example – but it is always a practical tool that you rarely get on other boards.
