Whether you’re a gamer or not, some of the best gaming keyboards can make all the difference in your daily computing experience, no matter what kind of laptop you use.
Don’t get us wrong, laptop keyboards have come a long way over the past decade, and most plug-and-play peripherals will satisfy the casual gamer. But for dedicated fraggers, a proper gaming keyboard is essential to getting accurate, competitive gameplay: first-person shooters, strategy games and MMOs can all benefit from the extra bells and whistles of a premium mechanical keyboard.
Right now, one of the best gaming keyboards money can buy is the Corsair K100 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. It’s Corsair’s first keyboard to feature Optical-Mechanical switches, which use light technology for fast key inputs. This is also the first showing for the company’s iCue Control wheel, which gives gamers and multimedia mavens a host of functionality on the fly. You’ve got all this functionality housed in a metal and plastic frame that’s rated for longevity and comfort.
Sure, the OPX keys need getting used to, but you’ll be typing like lightning once you do. If you’re a gaming keyboard without a cord, then Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro keyboard is what you’re after thanks to its excellent quality build and lag-free wireless input.
The 60% keyboard market is booming thanks to the peripheral’s compact size, which takes up a small portion of desk real estate. They are also lightweight for maximum portability for the gamer on the move, and it is hard to ignore the way they make RGB lighting effects pop beneath the keycaps. HyperX’s Alloy Origins 60 excels at all these things, and if the claimed 16.8 million colors don’t grab your attention, its unique spacebar certainly will.
The Razer Huntsman V2 recently made this list, and it’s making waves thanks to its neat, compact design, smooth keys and great gaming performance.
Touch typists, take note: Unlike membrane keyboards (which usually have a shallow, squishy feel), mechanical keyboards use linear, tactile, and clicky switches underneath the keys. This results in a much more enjoyable typing experience. There are exceptions, of course, but the clickity-clack feedback of any mechanical keyboard is usually superior to that of a membranous counterpart.
We recently added the Corsair K70 RGB Pro to this list, thanks to its comfortable wrist rest, bright and bold RGB lighting and great gaming performance.
