I have a wire keyboard and mouse that work good, but would really like to go wireless, but I don't want to do that if there's going to be a weird lag response. Also, does it make difference between using USB vs Bluetooth? I've seen a few Bluetooth keyboard/mouse and wondered if they functioned better than USB wireless keyboard/mouse. I mainly just want to know what I need to look for when shopping for one so that way I can choose if I want to get something that has all the bells and whistles (RGB, loud keys, etc) or go on a budget and just get what I need for performance.

Title basically says it... The recent threads here are all a few years old, so I figured it's worth a try to ask again.

I need a keyboard, German layout, ideally a fullsize one but I'll also settle for one without a numblock, that has at least Bluetooth connectivity and, if possibly, a low-latency USB connection (USB-C preferred). Best case would be actual legitimate keys, if it's a low-height, low-travel variant it should be at least somewhat up to par with Apple's keyboards, definitely none of these mushy cheap keyboards.

If possible, it should be less than 100€, so all the Logitech options are out of the game. Any ideas?

Is the delay noticeable on more intense games like FPS or action RPGs? I am keen on getting a wireless keeb and those are the games I play most often, wondering if it'll be noticeable enough to bother.

Hey yall.

Im thinking about going wireless with the Logitech g pro mouse and the Keychron k2.

I'm a typical gamer and wondered if anyone could tell me or has some experecience with wireless keyboards ( or specifically the Keychron k2). Is there input lag? If yes, is it noticeable?

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone use their Keychron keyboard for gaming in Bluetooth mode? Was curious if it was good enough for casual game like PUBG Skyrim.

Preferably around 60-75% My budget is max 70 dollars or a little over. Tell me if you need anything more specific.

I currently own a Black Widow V3 Razer keyboard that is wired. The 'W' key has started to become unresponsive and unpredictable, and after trying tons of troubleshooting steps I've made peace with the fact that the board is toast.

I'm now in the market for another keyboard, and was eyeing up the Logitech G195 Wireless keyboard as a replacement as I have a G Pro Superlight Wireless mouse and I love it.

What are people's thoughts on wireless boards though? Are they just as good as wired these days or should I avoid wireless and stick to wired?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I'm looking at getting rid of my Corsair k70 for something like a Keychron Q5 HE or something along those lines. Hall Effect seems pretty cool, but I'm also open to ideas. Is that keyboard a good one at the price? It seems like everyone loves it. I'm more looking for a wireless that uses 2.4ghz for better latency, not a really needing gaming features. I'll take suggestions or validation in my current choice. Thanks!

I don't like mechanical keyboards nor do I want any RGB.

I like the Apple Keyboard's but how is their latency?

EDIT: I know what I have written was vague and borderline rude. Okay, what I want is a keyboard which has chiclet-style keys and which is discrete and/or isn't flashy. Maybe Bluetooth was a navie want.

So I was thinking off buying a mechanical wireless keyboard and came accross the keychron k10. I am a gamer and am worried that the bluetooth 5.1 may offer high latency and may skip some inputs (that has been my experience with bluetooth devices in the past) compared to devices such as dedicated gaming devices that usually run on a 2,4 ghz dongle system. I am no expert in wireless connection types so any insight that can help me decide what keyboard i should buy would be appreciated!

So I work from home but I'm also a gamer.... I need a keyboard (big fan of clicky cherry mx switches) that can operate both wired a nd wireless. The idea is that I will use the wireless feature for my work pc and the wired will be for my gaming setup. I already have a Razer Naga Pro and it works great for this purpose. Currently I'm using a Corsair K95 which is an amazing keyboard aand no real complaints other than it can't accomplish what I need for work. As a workaround I was thinking of buying just a simple USB switch which will permit me to swap between where my keyboard and mouse feed to. However I have major concerns about added latency with that type of a setup.

Any suggestions appreciated and money isn't a big issue here but would prefer not to go beyond the $300 mark (obviously would prefer to be below this but I understand my needs aren't a super inexpensive one).

I am completely new to the keyboard world. I know nothing about it. All I know is that I'd like to move on from my current Razer Huntsman V2 Analog to a wireless one.

I've heard amazing things about the Logitech G915 (notably from JayzTwoCents & others who have it) but I'm not a major fan of the Low Profile design. I like fat & clicky keyboards.

My main reason for wanting to go with the G915 is because of their LIGHTSPEED technology that seemingly delivers no noticeable latency, which is important for competitive games, but if there are other boards that meet the low latency & bulky design, please please tell me about them!

The G915 is $159.99 on Amazon for 8 more hours and I'd like to feel a little more informed before the deal passes.

Thank you! :)

Been using a 65/70% Logitech G Pro wired keyboard for some time but now looking to replace it with a wireless keyboard and not sure what to pick. I mainly use it for gaming and the current one i have has red linear switches which i have enjoyed and never complained about. I do however love looking up vids of ones with lubed switches and enjoy the sound of them a lot. But when looking up keyboards now a days there are magnetic switches now a days that i have no knowledge on.

It doesnt need to be wireless but im in school and often push my keyboard out of the way and a wireless one would just make life easier sometimes but at the end of the day i care about being able to stay competitive in games and perform to the best of my ability.

So

1. What is the best switch type for gaming?

2. From what i understand wireless can be just as competitive as wired with virtually no latency as long as it connects via 2.4ghz and not bluetooth. (is this correct?)

3. Are there any good keyboards from the answer of Question 1 that come with lubed switches? Ones that are lubed and also wireless? (depending on answer to Q2)

Hey everyone! I was hope you all could help me with choosing my next keyboard. I am currently rocking a Razer Blackwidow Chroma v3 which has done me good overall but my situation has changed a bit. I am starting to move back and forth a lot recently with going from my University to home and back so im moving my set up a lot. Luckily i already got a mini itx build so the pc is no problem but ive noticed that the bulky and full size keyboard hinders me a bit as i constantly have to unplug and reroute it every time (same goes for the mouse). Ive decided to make my life easier and get a wireless and smaller form factor keyboard so id appreciate the help as im not too well versed in keyboards (ive been with razer since i started building pcs 10 years ago)

My Criterias:

-Wireless but also has wired functionality

-75% or smaller just as long as its not as big as a full size

-good battery life with usb c charging

-under $150, $200 if its really worth it

I do not care much about rgb or programability, as long as it has some sort of backlight. Ill prob just leave it at a single color anyways. I use the yellow switches on my blackwidow v3 and i like them so if there is one with similar switches that is great but im open to suggestions.

I will be mainly using it for school work and gaming so durability and stoke life is important.

I was thinking of getting the Razer Huntsman mini but ik “real” keyboard people disapprove of razer so i thought id ask. Ive also been told that the RK Royal and KeyChron are good but wanted to confirm.

Thank you for your help (and if u have any wireless mouse recommendations, send them over as well)

Title says what I'm looking for but I will give more information here

So my birthday is coming up tomorrow and I've decided to get something nice for myself, specifically I am thinking about getting a Bluetooth keyboard for my phone to play games with, I've had some bad experiences with Bluetooth keyboards before, the most recent example being that I bought a decent looking one off Amazon only to have it arrive and be much smaller than expected, "that's fine I guess" I thought (really wasn't), immediately after using it I noticed two of the keys just didn't work at all and the spacebar only worked if pressed very firmly in the center, I decided to just deal with it and moved on, stopped using it for a couple weeks and randomly got it out and noticed less than an hour later two rows of keys stopped working, shortly after that nothing worked, and that was it for that keyboard,

So what I'm looking for is pretty simple, a Bluetooth keyboard with at least a moderate battery life and a decent size, and preferably one that doesn't just stop working permanently in less than an hour. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Title says it. There is none.

I am looking for a keyboard that is

• Small (maximum TKL)

• Has multidevice support

• Has a decent battery life

• Durable

• Low latency on at least one device

Logitech G915 TKL would be perfect if they were not not durable. We read here and there the keycaps break. With their price tag, they should really have the best keycaps ever made. The electronics and everything is cool and stuff, yet they managed to build it in such a way that one would not expect to use it for longer than warranty time. Also, knowing that they will at some point break and you need to deal with support is not appealing. It has 2 years of warranty, and they can even dodge the requests saying it is customers fault (I do not know if they do it, but that was what they were doing before by default, in ancient ages, where they were not scared of being slammed online). Assuming they are going to be unusable after warranty, it is 30-40 cents per day (220 EUR Europe pricetag, 250 USD US) which is ridiculous.

Korsair K63 would be so nice if the battery life was not a single day. If i need to worry about forgetting to charge it every night sorry Korsair but it is handicapped wireless with this way. Also some users report that they disconnect if you use them while being charged and the reason being drawing too much amperes?!

Razer Blackwidow V3 Pro would be great if it wasn't thick and big and bulky. Also, even if it was tenkeyless, with current design it is still too thick and needs the wrist support and the wrist support is not attached in any way.

Aliexpress Chinese Keyboards do not have any serious reviews. Although some have propriatery "low latency" receivers there is nobody testing them so their implementation might be as slow as or even slower than a good bluetooth keyboard.

Any other keyboard is losing the battle in more than one category.

I think Logitech is money hungry so they keep cool electronics with subpar quality cheap keycaps that break, and they seem to be not fixing it. God knows when next gen will come and I do not think that will be much better. I crossed my fingers for a compact Razer keyboard or a renewed K63 that has a bigger battery and not power hungry electronics inside.

I tagged with help, but I kind of lost my help already as it has been at least 7-8 hours of research already and I am tired of not being able to find one.

Looking for something that's 104 or tkl, hot swappable, and wireless. It doesnt need keys since I want to put boba u4t's in. I've gotten a few suggestions from other redditors and they also said I might have to settle for bluetooth. Is bluetooth still bad because of latency or is that not really an issue anymore? Also any keyboard suggestions are welcome.

Preferably under $200

Hello fellow Redditors! :)

tl;dr: Looking for a Wireless Gaming Keyboard with low latency and multi-pairing function (receiver for gaming and BT for work) and that as silent as possible, including dedicated media keys (if possible)

I am looking for a keyboard for a long time now, but I did not find the right one yet - probably because of my demands.

What am I looking for?

• Wireless

  • Should include low-latency receiver (for gaming - Counter Strike and other fast-paced shooters) & bluetooth (for working on a different system on the same table - no low latency required)

• As silent as possible - I am currently using a Corsair K57 RGB Pro, which is a Membrane Gaming Keyboard - this one is on the border of being too loud, but its OK

  • Without any modding

• Preferably with dedicated Media-Control-Keys, since I sometimes use the F-Keys for Alt/Ctrl-Commands

  • Pressing the "FN-Button" and then again "Alt/Ctrl" AND the F-Key is a hassle sometimes

  • While I would love this, this is not a 100% MUST HAVE like the other points above

• Budget: up to 200 Euros

• Location: EU (Austria)

What I do not care about:

• Keyboard size (anything from 100% to whatever the lowest is right now) - I have plenty of space on my desk and I tilt the keyboard a bit while gaming anyways, no matter the size

• Backlighting

• They type of keycaps - as long as typing feels good (which is a highly subjective topic anyways)

• Actuation-Force/Pre-Travel - the way I grip the keyboard, I tend to actually press buttons accidentally, if the operating force is too low

• Wrist rest

Keyboards I already tried:

• Logitech K780: Great keyboard, my favorite until now - very nice typing experience, despite the weird button design & layout, i like it way more than the Logitech MX Keys; it is very silent;

  • BUT: The latency for fast-paced shooters is a bit too high & no dedicated Media-Control-Keys

• Corsair K57 RGB Wireless: I am testing this one right now and I kinda like it. The only downside is that it costs at least 80-100 Euros and is "only" a Rubber Dome keyboard; typing feels good, even though the keys do require quite some force to operate, but until now it did not tire me out; Gaming response feels very good - I did not manage to compare it side by side with K780 yet (like doing the same strafing in CS), but I will do that soon and see if it is just "imagination" :D

• Logitech MX Keys with Logi Bolt: Did not like it - too mushy and - according to tests like RTING - similar latency like the K780;

• Logitech G915 LIGHTSPEED TKL with Brown Switches: Did not like the typing experience, even though the keyboard itself has everything I need; it felt "mushy", I don't know if its the right word to describe how the keyboard presses feel to me; also, it was louder than the K57 RGB Wireless

• Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum: A wired keyboard I had back when I did not care about Wireless & had no job yet - typing felt okay, but it was very loud;

• Cherry Stream Desktop: Very good Keyboard, I did like typing on it - but it does not have Bluetooth, so it is a No-Go, just wanted to share my opinion on this one, in case there is some similar keyboard out there with BT and with low latency.

• Logitech K280e: Very quiet and nice typing experience, but wired & probably low latency;

• Corsair K60 PRO with Cherry MV Switches: Wired, but just wanted to let you guys know that the typing experience was terrible - the keys feel very mushy, no feedback at all until you hit the bottom - but before you do hit the bottom, they key was already operated/the letter in Word already typed :D

Keyboards I already have an eye on:

• Razer Blackwidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed with Yellow Switches

• Razer Blackwidow V3 Pro Wireless with Yellow Switches (did not find this one in stock anywhere in Austria :(( )

• ENDORFY Thock with Kailh Box Red (no idea about the Latency on this one though - no RTINGS-Review yet)

• Logitech G715

• Corsair K70 Pro mini Wireless with Cherry MX Speed

• ASUS ROG Falchion

• Razer Pro Type Ultra

• ASUS ROG Claymore II

• Corsair K100 AIR Wireless (a bit more expensive than my budget, but if its worth it, I can wait for discounts)

• ASUS ROG Azoth (slightly more expensive than my budget, like K100 AIR)

• Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro Red Switch

• SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless

• ASUS ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless

What do you guys think? Any suggestions? Any help appreciated! :)

Kind regards,

Hello all. Just getting into good sounding keyboards. I don't know anything about this hobby/lifestyle so bare with me. I want to get a keyboard that I can use for gaming and also that sounds thocky (I think thats the word you guys use). There are so many Keychron variants that I have no idea what to pick. Every article says to get a different one. Amazon has all types and price ranges. So I thought I would ask here. I think I want to swap out my switches as well to something that sounds like those soothing ASMR keyboards. Which do you all recommend? Low input lag when gaming and something that I can make sound nice later on. I was looking at banana split switches. Again, I have no idea what I am talking about or doing. Let me know!
