r/pcmasterrace on Reddit: Best budget gaming keyboard?

April 26, 2025 -

Hey everyone! I'm in the market for a budget (70$-150$, willing to splurge a bit more) gaming keyboard, but the amount of stuff to look out for is starting to feel overwhelming, so I'm in dire need of some recommendations.

In terms of what I'm looking for, I don't use the numpad at all so it doesn't have to be 100%. I like RGB, but it's not a dealbreaker, and I definitely don't want membrane. I don't care about custom keycaps at all. Main point I'm keeping in mind is bang for buck.

Oh, and everything in my country is 2x-4x the price it is in the US.

What do you guys think would be the best match for this criteria? I swear every thread says something different!!

(Okay missed the part where you said 4x in your country, its probably way outta budget. Maybe you can get one used/refurbished?)

r/buildapc on Reddit: What are some generally recommended gaming keyboards?

July 8, 2025 -

It's mainly going to be used for gaming and general use. I would like it to have a numpad and media controls for the most part but bonus if it has other useful features. I don't have specific price point in mind as I want to explore and compare different options.

Id probably ask this in the r/keyboards subereddit instead of here but... I tend to avoid 'gaming' keyboards as you can get mechanical keyboards with the same if not better specs for half the price. Gaming keyboards like razer and logitech all sell theirs for super expensive prices as you pay for the brand. 'Budget' mechanical keyboards are getting very good these days with good features like tri mode wireless and VIA support. This comment here details some options. https://www.reddit.com/r/keyboards/comments/1ii9tqa/comment/mb5ifm8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

The Montech Mkey series is a pretty good low to mid range mechanical keyboard. I love mine - had it for about 6 months thus far.

Folks playing games here, which keyboards (under $200) do you currently guys swear by using for gaming?
I'm looking for a new one within that budget, preferably something with backlighting/RGB and good response time. Mainly use it for gaming. So can you tell me what options love the most?

I don't have any specific recommendations but you ideally want something that can be configured without windows - Razer keyboards are an obvious pass. My Keychron works through VIA so it's platform agnostic for configuration.

Keyboards are very subjective A lot of stuff labeled gaming I’ve found are fairly cheaply made. Look for some thing with a metal base plate and key type you like and wired .

r/buildapc on Reddit: Best Gaming Keyboard? Razer? Wooting? IQUNIX?

September 17, 2024 -

I have recently ordered the DeathStalker V2 pro Wireless but after doing some research wanted to know what is the best keyboard out there as I might refund.

I have come across the Wooting 80HE and IQUNIX EZ63, both look lovely (I know they are wired), but which is actually the better keyboard, from response times to just general typing and work based typing.

I also have come across Razer Huntsman V3 Pro (wired) and also have heard good reviews. I Have also come across the Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro wireless as the best wireless keyboard according to what I see and wanted to know is this also something worth purchasing instead? out of all the keyboards mentioned, which is the best or if you can give your own would be lovely. (if you can give me 3 of the best, one is 75%, one for just wired keyboards and one for Wireless.

Imo it makes absolutely no sense buying a keyboard for 250 €. Mine cost 60 € and fullfills the same exact function. Going strong since 5 years or and survived a few spilled glasses. And if you're a pro-gamer or mechanical keyboard-enthusiast you wouldn't by Razer anyway I guess. What you definitely need to look out for are the switches. There are cheap no-name ones which you should avoid. Most good keyboard use Cherry-switches, the bit cheaper ones often have Kailh-switches, which are good as well. Razer uses their own switches, I'm not sure how good they are though. Mechanical switches are also seperated in different colors, from very clicky to very soft. This is personal preference and it's best to test them at some store.

For gaming specifically it would be anything capable of doing rapid trigger. Past that you can get into specific switches, key feel/sound, construction. For most PC gamers they will be using a headset and won’t be able to hear their keyboards. At most they will feel them if the keys are wobbly. The technology, like rapid trigger and now socd (though careful on where you use this) IS noticeable. As far as I know, Wooting is still the king of these kinds of keyboards.

r/keyboards on Reddit: Recommendations on my first proper gaming keyboard

August 24, 2024 -

I’ve currently got a ASUs tuf gaming keyboard that I bought as a mouse and keyboard bundle and after 3 years I want to upgrade to my first proper gaming keyboard. I mostly play fps games and some indie games and I’ve seen you can create your own with wooting but if I’m honest I don’t know enough yet and Havnt had a gaming keyboard to really understand what I want. So I’m asking what people think. I like the look of the RAZER black widow v4 or the steel series apex pro

Thanks in advance

Go wooting or keychron v max/q max series. Razer is overpriced and steelseries too. If the hall effect is really needed and don't want a wooting then keychron q he, nuphy field 75he and drunkdeer a75 exist

the wooting 60he+ or 80he are good options, but i'd personally go for something like a sikakeyb hm66 or a melgeek made68 pro.

What's the best MECHANICAL KEYBOARD commonly ...

June 8, 2025 - If I had to add one more “safe top pick” to that list, it would be the Keychron Q1 / Q2 — in my opinion they’re some of the best all-around mechanical keyboards ... The mechanical keyboard is fine for gaming, but then for working, what a hell, it's too noisy, the stroke is too long and the ergonomics aren't great. The other problem is that there are no good mechanical keyboards mapped for Apple. So on my gamer PC, I've got a Logitech G413 (the classic black and red one), and on my Mac Studio, I've got my good old Apple A1243 wired keyboard.

So I know absolutely nothing about keyboards and I would just get him a replacement of his current one but that one was also a past gift from me and I did almost zero research on it. It's not a bad keyboard but the pad peels when you leave you arm on it. He doesn't like mechanical or at least keyboards that are obnoxiously loud. I'll attach a photo of his current one but please give me suggestions. Budget is about 150, absolute max is 200 but it's gotta be REAL good for that price.

Take a look at the Wooting 80He, Monsgeek M1W HE, Akko year of the dragon HE or Yunzii RT80. Personally I would never buy another Razer keyboard again, their build quality is lacking for the premium you pay and they're non hotswap boards meaning if a switch stops working he can't replace it with an identical one. Edit: all are sub 200 except for tge Wooting with a metal case, plastic one is sub 200. My go to would be the Monsgeek M1W HE.

r/linux_gaming on Reddit: Mechanical gaming keyboard recommendations?

September 30, 2025 -

My venerable Cougar Attack X3 with Cherry MX Brown switches made it 10 years and last night one of the feet finally broke off, keyboard still works fine but doesn't sit right... thinking it's just time for a new one.

Looking for a full-sized (104+) key gaming keyboard with similar tactical feedback switches (can be quieter, but not louder, and want tactile and similar travel/feedback), dedicated volume/mute keys, and any programmable keys and/or RGB needs to be supported in Linux (OpenSUSE if it matters) or be controllable on device without software (this box doesn't have or need Windows, so the answer can't be to program the keyboard in Windows and just use it in Linux). The Cougar worked fine because everything could be controlled on the keyboard itself. RGB is not necessary but some backlighting that can be turned on/off easily is. Price isn't relevant within reason...

Prior to this I ran a Northgate OmniKey for like 20 years at home. At work I use a RedDragon K556 RGB which is actually ok but doesn't have the tactical feedback.

Any recommendations?

Keychron is a good all-rounder for mechanical keyboards. The more recent ones use QMK firmware, which is open source and fully supported in Linux if you want to customize to your heart's content.

I like Keychron. The K2 is my daily driver, though I’ve started using a Mistel MD770 split keyboard for work. I’ve had good experience with Royal Kludge as well, despite them being panned by mech keyboard enthusiasts, I really liked my RK71. Can’t help with your preference for full size (if it’s not obvious, I have a preference for 70-75% keyboards), but anything with Gateron Browns is a good choice IMO. Kailh switches are good too. Despite being the OGs, I find Cherry switches to be scratchy, and feel like they need more pressure to activate, even when the rated actuation force is lower.

I'm looking for budget keyboards preferably under $100, but max I'm willing to go to is around $130. Maybe it's better if it's built by me? Don't know. But, these are some of the keyboards I've checked out. Are any of them good? If so, which one should I get? Really liking higrounds design, but I heard Glorious is a great brand. If you have other suggestions, please let me know.

Title: What are some good gaming keyboards? Response as if Title is a Question: Corsair K95 and SteelSeries Apex Pro are solid choices. Description Response as if Title is Not a Question: Love my HyperX Alloy FPS for gaming, highly recommend it.

r/buildapc on Reddit: What's the Best Gaming Keyboard To Buy Right Now?

1 week ago -

I’m looking to upgrade my gaming keyboard and wanted to get some real-world opinions from people who have tried different options to find the best. I mainly play FPS games and some MOBAs, but I also do a lot of typing, so I’m trying to find something that offers great gaming performance without sacrificing comfort or typing feel. I’m open to mechanical, optical, or magnetic switches, as well as full-size, TKL, or smaller layouts, and I don’t mind whether it’s wired or wireless. Budget isn’t fixed—if it’s genuinely worth the price, I’m willing to spend more.

Some keyboards on my radar are:

Wooting 80HE
Razer Huntsman V3 Pro
Keychron
Logitech pro

So what's the best gaming keyboard you currently using? What do you like or dislike about it? And if you had to buy again today, would you choose the same one?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Not really in that space for keyboard, you probably want to peruse/poke r/MechanicalKeyboards or similar subs for more specific advice. I'm using a Ducky Shine 7, find it quite nice for typing and it is the sturdiest built keyboard I've ever used, whole outer frame is a metal alloy, nice weight and quality feel to it.

r/keyboards has some nice info. using tecware phantom+ wraith orange, like it (better than the cherry mx blue full i'd been using for a decade), but would probably get a different one if had to choose again, one without floating keys and with qmk.

r/asktechnicians on Reddit: Best Gaming Keyboards You Can Buy in 2025 (Price, Feel, Build)

October 10, 2025 -

Hey everyone, I’ve been testing and researching a ton of gaming keyboards lately. I decided to make a list of the best picks in 2025. This took an insane amount of time and effort so I hope it helps someone! : )
I personally stuck with the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL (Gen 3), since it’s an amazing balance between speed, feel, customization, and size. We all know there’s no list that satisfied everyone, so please, let’s keep the comments constructive.

What are you guys using and are you satisfied?

Best Budget Gaming Keyboards (Under $80)
(Best pick: Corsair K55 RGB Pro)

[$49] HyperX Alloy Core RGB - Membrane board with bright RGB zones, solid deck, and quiet keystrokes. Great if you want a soft feel without jumping to full mechanical.
[$39] Redragon K552 Kumara - Entry mechanical with a metal top plate. Clicky or linear switch options, compact TKL layout, and surprisingly sturdy for the money.

[$199] Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless - Compact 96% layout, long battery life, quiet stabilized feel, and hot-swap support on many variants. Great all-rounder for desk space.

Best Premium Gaming Keyboards ($250+)
(Best pick: Wooting 80HE)

[$279] SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Wireless - Adjustable magnetic switches plus low-latency wireless. Custom actuation per key, OLED, and excellent software.

[$269] Mountain Everest Max - Premium modular design with detachable numpad, media dock, and hot-swap switches. Highly customizable layout and feel.

Best Esports Keyboards
(If you play competitively or want that tournament-grade speed)

Compact:

[$219] Wooting 60HE+ - Analog Hall-effect switches with adjustable actuation. Tiny footprint, instant key resets, and per-key tuning for movement control.
[$109] Corsair K65 Pro Mini - 60% layout with fast optical switches, high polling, and a steady deck. Great for low-sens mouse players who need space.

Full-size:

[$299] Wooting Two HE - Full-size analog board with the same rapid trigger tech. Analog movement in supported games and deep per-key customization.
[$199] Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Full-size classic with a sturdy frame, fast switches, dedicated media, and robust software for profiles and macros.

Best for esports speed: Wooting 80HE [$299]
Best premium: SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Wireless [$279]

Updated 10/10/2025

How do people feel about low-profile boards like the DeathStalker V3 Pro vs traditional ones like the Apex Pro TKL? I’m coming from laptop keyboards, so I actually prefer that shallow travel. Wondering if anyone else made the switch?

Razer deathstalker V3pro or did you mean V2 pro? I couldnt find a V3 pro anywhere

r/keyboards on Reddit: The 20 most rec'ed gaming keyboards on Reddit (in the past year)

July 1, 2025 -

Was messing around with Reddit data on gaming keyboards. Thought I’d share the results.

Its part of one of my projects to tinker with Reddit data and LLMs. Wanted to create something useful for the community while levelling up my coding chops.

The idea is to highlight which gaming keyboards got the most love. To be clear, most love =/= best. But hopefully its a useful data point nonetheless, especially for those overwhelmed by info.

I actually posted a version of this ~6 months ago. A lot of the issues that the previous one had should be fixed (limited to models on Amazon, erroneous model attribution, duplications). Lemme know what you think!

Obviously this is a very general list. It does gets more interesting when you slice and dice the data.

If you want to explore the data and filter more stuff (price, layout, wired/wireless, subreddits, comments about using for FPS, MMO, productivity etc), you can do so at RedditRecs (dot) com (or google “RedditRecs”).

Methodology in the comments.

What lunatics are recommending the Redragon Kumara? Worst keyboard ever. And yes I see people recommending the Aula F75 a lot, what's so great about it?
