Gaming Keyboards

Gaming keyboards are crafted for precision, durability and customisation. They come in a variety of sizes, from full‑size boards with numpads and dedicated macro keys to space‑saving tenkeyless (TKL), 75 %, 65 % and 60 % layouts that free up desk space. Switch types define the feel and performance of a keyboard: clicky switches provide tactile feedback and an audible click, tactile switches offer a pronounced bump without the noise and linear switches deliver smooth, quiet keystrokes ideal for rapid inputs. Hot‑swappable keyboards let you change switches without soldering, allowing gamers to experiment with different feels.
Customisation extends beyond switches. Many boards support on‑the‑fly macro recording and multiple profiles, giving competitive gamers quick access to complex commands. RGB lighting is ubiquitous, ranging from per‑key illumination to simpler zone lighting; software allows you to sync lighting effects with game events or other peripherals. Connectivity options include reliable wired USB for minimal latency and wireless 2.4 GHz with high polling rates – Bluetooth is offered on some boards but isn’t ideal for competitive gaming.
Additional features to consider include programmable media keys, detachable wrist rests, double‑shot PBT keycaps for durability and aluminium top plates for rigidity. Low‑profile keyboards provide a thinner, laptop‑like experience, while optical and magnetic switches offer even faster actuation points for serious esports players. Leading brands like Corsair, Razer, Logitech G and SteelSeries each offer unique features: Corsair’s iCUE software links lighting across devices, Razer’s optical switches provide near‑instant actuation, and Logitech’s Lightspeed wireless technology ensures reliable connections.
