If you have invested money into your computer and you spend a lot of time gaming, you don’t want your keyboard to let you down. Gaming keyboards not only heighten your playing experience, but they can also actually help you to play better.
Here are our recommendations for the best gaming keyboards:
Corsair K95 RGB Platinum: £184.99
- High quality
- Full-size keyboard
- Extra set of textured keycaps
- Dedicated media controls
- RGB Backlighting
- Detachable wrist rest
This gaming keyboard is expensive but you certainly get what you pay for. The key responses are fast and have a nice feel to them when pressed and the wrist rest is perfect for long gaming sessions. This keyboard feels like it has been designed by a gamer.
- Designed to replace a gamepad
- Full-size keyboard
- Dedicated macro keys
- RGB Backlighting
- Wrist rest
You might not have heard of Cooler Master before but if you use a gamepad on a regular basis then this could be the gaming keyboard for you. Lots of cool features integrated into this design, including something called ‘aimpad technology’ which allows a subgroup of the keys to be used the same way as the analogue inputs on the gamepad analogue stick are.
- Stylish and great quality
- Quiet to use
- Minimalist design
- Custom actuation settings
- RGB Backlighting
- Wrist rest
If you want a gaming keyboard that you can adjust and tune to your own personal preferences, this is the one for you. Using magnets, the Apex Pro allows gamers to ‘adjust the distance it takes for each key to register a key press, helping them to play more accurately and quickly’. Yes, it is our most expensive recommendations but for serious gamers the performance value and the way you can customise it make the price worthwhile.
- Wireless
- Programmable keys
- RGB Backlighting
- Media controls
Want to sit back and relax on the couch while you are gaming? Then look no further than this wireless offering from Corsair. It features Cherry MX Red switches, nice tactile responses and is quiet to use.
- Full-size keyboard
- Integrated function keys
- Sturdy frame
- Budget-friendly
As you can see, there aren’t many frills on this gaming keyboard, but, for those on a budget, it will do to start with. There’s no backlight, wrist rest or dedicated macros. What you do get, however, is the Romer-G switch which some gamers have compared the feel to the Cherry MX Brown.
- Fast speed key actuation
- Bright and colourful
- Nice tactile key switches
If you like speed you’ll love the Razer Huntsman. This is actuation at its best, thanks to the upgraded switches. It is fast, comfortable to use and you really get a good sense of the game you’re playing. You’ll need serious juice for the lights and power but we think you won’t mind.
Cooler Master MasterSet MS120: £54.99
- Good budget option
- Nice compact design
- Keyboard backlighting
- Tactile response
Looking for a cheap all-rounder? This is your best bet from Cooler Master. It marries a bright backlit keyboard with a good tactile feel from the keys and it is pretty quiet too.
