![]() While we recommend the TKL size here, as it's considered the optimum size for gaming, you might prefer a larger board like the Corsair K70 RGB MK.2, which costs a little more but also includes a wrist rest. Like a lot of the keyboards on this list, the K70 RGB TKL is part of a larger K70 lineup that features keyboards of different sizes with slightly different features. You can get this keyboard with either classic Cherry MX Red switches or Cherry MX Speed switches, and regardless of which you spring for (pun intended), you'll find a very light switch with a short actuation distance, so pressing a key feels like an extension of your finger. Performance-wise, its near-millisecond latency provides a very fluid and responsive in-game experience, especially when combined with the light-to-press Cherry MX switches. It's worth mentioning that these switches do feel a bit scratchy, but with a bit of lube, you can improve their smoothness and feel.Īt a mid-range price point, the Corsair K70 RGB TKL is the best keyboard you can buy. In addition to its under-the-hood performance, the K70 RGB TKL features excellent build quality with a hard plastic chassis, durable PBT keycaps, and ergonomic kickstands that open sideways, so you don't accidentally collapse them if you move your board. You can get this unit with your choice of Logitech's own GX switches in the usual offerings of clicky Blue, tactile Brown, and linear Red. Whether you use it in a wired mode with the included USB-A to USB-C cable or wirelessly with its USB receiver, you'll be met with a responsive in-game experience with no noticeable delay, even if you're playing competitively. Although this unit doesn't have the same degree of customization as the SteelSeries Apex Pro keyboards, its very low latency and overall gaming performance are just as fantastic. Adding to its "soft" aesthetic is the frosted RGB lighting strip around the keyboard, which shows colors with a more pastel tone and a very comfortable cloud-shaped wrist rest. Rather than an aggressive black or grey color scheme, the G715 is matte white with lilac-colored media keys. The Logitech G715 stands out from all the other keyboards on this list for a very simple reason: it looks different. That said, there's also a wired-only version, the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini, so you don't have to worry about it dying mid-use. However, its battery life is fairly short, lasting only 30-40 hours, but this is normal considering how many features this little guy has packed into it. ![]() As its name suggests, it's a wireless keyboard that connects with a USB receiver or with up to three devices using Bluetooth. This keyboard also has a feature to allow you to program two inputs to a single keypress, which is an excellent time-saving feature for competitive FPS games. Whether you want a nearly instant actuation point for competitive gaming or a longer pre-travel distance for general typing, you can customize each key individually within a pretty wide range to best suit your needs. ![]() This wireless unit is the compact version of the enduringly popular SteelSeries Apex Pro, and like its predecessor, it has an adjustable pre-travel distance feature, meaning you can set the sensitivity of your keypresses. When you're only using the left half of your keyboard, why take up a whole desktop with a bulky full-size unit with a Numpad? In the sea of compact gaming options, one easily rises to the top: the SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless.

Shopping for a gaming keyboard doesn't have to be a stressful task, even though there are tons of options to choose from. ![]()
