"The best gaming keyboards can make you feel in total control while sweating through an online shooter and more comfortable while taking in a 100-hour RPG. They may not always feel as luxurious for typing as a custom mechanical keyboard, but they've become increasingly sophisticated with new features to improve your play, and the best of them are still huge upgrades over your everyday membrane board."
"To be clear, any keyboard can be a gaming keyboard. If you play lots of video games today and have never sighed to yourself, man, this keyboard is holding me back, congratulations, you probably don't need to pay extra for a new one. Self-proclaimed gaming keyboards often come at a premium, and while the best offer high-quality designs, snazzy RGB lighting and a few genuinely worthwhile features, none of them will give you god-like skill, nor will they suddenly turn bad games into good ones."
"First, I mostly stuck to mechanical keyboards, not laptop-style membrane models. They can be loud, but they're more durable, customizable and broadly satisfying to press all positive traits for a product you may use for hours-long gaming sessions. Next, I preferred tenkeyless (TKL) or smaller layouts. It's totally fine to use a full-size board if you really want a number pad, but a compact model gives you more space to flick your mouse around."
Gaming keyboards range from full-size to compact 96 percent, 80 percent (tenkeyless), and 60 percent layouts. Mechanical switches deliver durability, customization, and broadly satisfying keypresses compared with membrane designs. Compact layouts give more desk space and allow the mouse to sit closer, which can reduce tension on arms and shoulders. Premium gaming keyboards add features like programmable keys, snazzy RGB lighting, and specialized software, often at a higher price. Many gamers prefer mechanical, smaller boards for long sessions and precise control. No keyboard will improve player skill or transform a poor game into a good one.
