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)

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!

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

What's your top 3 wireless keyboards for 2024 that is full sized?

I prefer mechanical, and that it lasts longer than 3 hours unlike my existing keyboard.

Budget has no limits.

Hi. So i have a budget of 200€ and i don't know what keyboard should i buy. I want a wireless connection and I would preffer the TKL size. It should not be loud but i wont mind if it wasn't too quiet. I was looking at the Razen Blackwidow V3 Pro and the Razer Blackwidow V4 TKL.

Hello everyone,

I’m in the market for a new wireless keyboard and could really use some advice from the community. I’ve got quite specific requirements, so I’m hoping someone here has experience with similar needs.

My Use Case

• Gaming: Primarily FPS games, so I need something responsive with minimal latency

• Professional work: Long-form writing sessions and statistical analysis work

• Mixed usage: This will be my daily driver for both gaming and productivity

Key Requirements

• Full-size layout: I absolutely need a numpad for my statistical work, so TKL is out of the question

• Wireless connectivity: Preferably 2.4GHz or Bluetooth (or ideally both)

• Comfortable for extended typing: I spend hours writing reports and documents

• Reliable build quality: This needs to last through heavy daily use

Also I have some Qs for community

• Any recommendations for keyboards that excel at both gaming and productivity?

• How’s the latency on modern wireless gaming keyboards compared to wired?

• Battery life experiences with your wireless keyboards?

• Any brands/models I should avoid?

I’ve been looking at some options online, but there’s quite a lot of conflicting information about wireless performance for gaming. I’d much rather hear from people who’ve actually used these keyboards day-to-day.

Budget isn’t a massive concern if the quality justifies the price, but I’d prefer to stay reasonable rather than going for the absolute top-end models.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Basically title. I see a lot of mixed reviews on wireless keyboards but I am looking to upgrade my old Corsair mechanical. I want to still have mechanical keys and RGB. Doesn’t have to be full sized. Even considering 60%. Primarily gaming at my desk but want the option to step back and use my peripherals on a TV. Any recommendations?

Hi I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive wireless keyboard. I will be using it mainly for writing and programming. Some keyboards that I'm interested in are the Logitech K585, K270 and the Logitech pop icons.

Which keyboard would be the best for a writer?

What I'm looking for in a keyboard:

• Comfortable. I want a keyboard that I can type for hours on end on without wrist pain. This is the most important aspect.

• Affordable. My budget is a maximum of $90

• Wireless (2.4 GhZ and/or Bluetooth)

• Able to connect to multiple devices.

• Spill resistance is a huge plus but not necessary

If it helps, I have relatively large hands ( 7 inches long)

Let's assume I have no budget limit and want something that looks minimalist when turned off(ideally white).

I program a lot in my free time so something that isn't overly loud is ideal. I also game(nothing super hardcore, don't need snap tap) so something that has a decent polling rate is a requirement(doesn't have to be some 8k craziness)

So I'm looking for some small yet practical wireless gaming keyboard with the quietest switches, rgb and some hot keys, maybe? No numpad or any other useless keys on it. And a response time of 1-5ms would be good. If you know of any models that fit my request, could you please send me the link or just tell me the name. Preferably, a Logitech keyboard. I'm a big fan of Logitech

Preferably under $200

I am looking to buy a new wireless keyboard and mouse but there are loads of options.

Please can anyone recommend one they have that they really like?

Thanks in advance

So, I'm still new to this cool community and to ergonomic keyboards. One thing, which keep surprising me is how often I see wired keyboards. Or better to say I see almost only wired keyboards.

This is surprising for me, because I've been using only wireless keyboards from Logitech since 2016 and I've never experienced a single problem.

What is the reason for that?

• are there problems with nano!nano v2?

  • when I understand it correctly, it is only ZMK compatible, is this a reason?

• what are the possibilities for wireless? I though nano!nano v2 is pretty much the best option, but for example the FalbaTech builds use something else with WLAN, but I saw posts in mechMarket saying there problems with ghost strokes (something which never ever happened to me with any Logitech keyboard I have had and something I wouldn't accept)

Do you prefer wired or wireless keyboards?

Hello!

I'm planning to get a mechanical keyboard to add to my setup. The thing is, my usage of it will be both for work and entertainment (some games like Path of Exile. but more importantly, FPS where low latency is needed)

I've been looking at this keyboard which seems to be a nice quality / price deal, but I'm wondering if there is anything that could be suitable for the usage I want?

Key needs:

• Fast wireless, but with capability to plugin for FPS gaming

• Ability to use the same keyboard across two laptops simultaneously.

• Prefer Low-profile, Linear, Mechanical setup.

I was looking at the Keychron K3 Max but I just saw a YouTube review where the guy had two major issues, being his typing speed was drastically lower (maybe a personal thing), and also the time to wakeup from sleep was annoying long (4 seconds).

If anyone here has a review to give of something that could be useful for me, I'll gladly accept!

Thanks

Okay it doesn’t have to be your favorite but I’m looking to replace my cord keyboard and there’s so many options idk which one to go with.

I have a great wrist rest so ideally no wrist rest support on the keyboard.

I like keyboards with the calculator option because it makes my day to day easier. any input would be truly appreciated thank you all and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend 😊

Hi po! Currently looking for a new keyboard but i’m not sure what brands/models are reliable, and this seemed to be a good place to ask for reccs :) preferably mechanical but am open to other reccs

currently using a rakk diwa H2 keyboard and am a bit disappointed with the performance and the wire is really inconvenient

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)

I recently built a new pc. My old mouse isn’t really working (have to press extra hard to right click) so I was thinking of upgrading. I play most games with a controller on my tv but I wouldn’t mind a keyboard and mouse that were game ready if needed. Any recommendations that won’t break the bank?

My keyboard is always plugged and stays on my desk. To me the less lithium batteries I have to deal with the better, it's just another unnecessary fire hazard especially when it's always plugged and I sleep next to my desk. Wireless mice are great but keyboards? There are some uses for wireless keyboards like using them from bed or couch but you're not going to use an expensive and heavy mechanical keyboard for that. Also they just make keyboards more expensive and lower their lifespan.

Edit: by wireless I mean it has a batttery but can be used wireless or wired.
