Mechanical Keyboards Introduction

FEW THINGS are as contentious as PC keyboards. There are message boards and forums packed with comments. looking at every feature and component, from the benefits and drawbacks of various switch mechanics to the plastic used in keycaps.

There’s a reason for this. You most likely spend an extensive amount of time using your keyboard and a (hopefully) comfortable mouse. You might as well ,  make those hours as enjoyable as possible, especially since so many of us work from home these days. Whether you have a superb laptop ,  or a game-ready desktop PC, we’ve tested hundreds of mechanical keyboards at various price points. These are our top selections for gaming—and everything else.

Mechanical keyboards models and devices

Razer Huntsman mini

Smallest Gaming Keyboard

If you’re new, a 60% keyboard , contains 60% of the keys found on a standard-sized keyboard. The num pad and arrow keys have been removed, leaving you with only the essentials.  So, the Razer Huntsman Mini is my favorite gaming keyboard of this size. It offers identical sensitivity and performance as a large keyboard, however, it occupies far less space on your desk. It just has a really nice and organized feel to it. Furthermore, the Mini, like the larger Huntsman Elite above, is compatible with Razer’s key cap kits, allowing you to customize your color scheme. The mercury white with pink keycaps ,  appeals to me.

Logitech g Pro X Keyboard 

The Logitech G Pro X , tackles this issue by providing key kits that allow you to customise each and every key on your keyboard by selecting from three different switch types.GX Blue Clicky switches (for a crisp click and thicker keystroke), GX Red Linear switches (for a quieter, smoother, but still satisfying keystroke), or GX Brown Tactile switches (with a soft stroke and tactile feedback).

For different uses, I prefer Blue and Red switches. During testing, I used Blue switches on my W, A, S, and D keys (for game movement) and Red switches on other letters for a nice typing experience. I also experimented with Brown switches for the spacebar and shift keys to add some variety. That amount of customisation distinguishes the G Pro X as the greatest overall mechanical keyboard. Whatever you like, you can design your own typing and gaming experience.

Logitech G413 Mechanical Keyboards

Budget gaming keyboards were formerly the domain of random Amazon merchants with capitals names and candy-coloured plastic. Logitech’s G413 is the polar opposite of that look.

NZXT function Full Size Mechanical Keyboard

Best for Beginner Customization

If you want to customize your mechanical keyboard but don’t know where to start, the NZXT Function (8/10) hits the sweet spot. The builder tool allows you to choose the type of switches, key caps, and even cable color for your keyboard, and the company will put it all together for you.

You can leave it at that, but if you want to further customize the board, it will come with tools for removing and replacing every key cap and switch, as well as spares of each. The Function also has some interesting features, such as a left-side volume wheel, RGB LEDs (naturally), and software that let you to remap or customize every button using macros to maximize your efficiency.

Apex Pro Steel Series laptop

Mechanical keyboards are really satisfying to use. They simply feel more comfortable than traditional membrane-based keyboards. The mechanical switches that provide such a wonderful typing experience are numerous, and rather than selecting just one for the Apex Pro keyboard, Steel Series decided to let them all.

It is not just a colorful gaming keyboard with a lot of bells and whistles, but it also has mechanical switches that can be customized per key to give you a typing experience that is unique to you. It also contains a small LED display for system alerts, volume, and other exciting features that you can experiment with using the Steel Series bundled software.

Apex 7 Steel Series Keyboard

Many keyboards claim to be geared for gamers due to RGB lighting or responsive switches, but Steel Series’ Apex 7 TKL puts its money where its mouth is.

The software makes this keyboard truly worthwhile. It can be fully integrated into your games, triggering different lighting conditions based on in-game events—for example, your R key could flash when you need to reload—for specific titles. You may also change the functions of each individual key, record custom macros, and connect third-party programmes such as Discord. While it can be scary for beginning users, it’s difficult to beat if you desire complete control over your game.

Logitech MX Master Mechanical keyboard

Logitech manufactures some of our favourite keyboards, and the MX Mechanical board combines all of the company’s skill into a single highly tuned package. Its delicate appearance is ideal for an office setting, and it’s low-profile enough to be comfortable typing on all day. It can couple with up to three devices simultaneously and switch between them with the press of a button. There are also a couple more buttons right above the num pad that allow you to open a calculator or lock your desktop.

Filco Majestouch gaming keyboard 

Classic for all time

The Japanese Filco Majestouch , was one of the first mechanical keyboards to create waves in the United States in the 2000s. Matt Jancer, a product reviewer, has been using one without a num pad for six years, with a variety of Cherry MX Browns, Blacks, Reds, Silent Reds, or Blues.. If you can locate it, it’s a timeless classic.

Roccat Vulcan 120/121/122 Aimo 

What’s the purpose of having a mechanical keyboard ,  if you can’t see those carefully constructed switches in action? That’s the thinking behind the Vulcan 120 Aimo and its white-and-aluminum-clad sibling, the 122 Aimo. With slim small key caps, both put Roccat’s custom-built Titan switches on show.

They contribute , to the development of the Vulcan 120 and 122 precision instruments designed for competitive play. Oh, and did we mention how loud the keyboard is?
