So i have a dilemma, idk which keyboard to buy. I was thinking about the new Steelseries apex pro tkl (2023) ver, but it seems to have really much hate right now and it's really expensive for me it is 225$ which is really much considering i'm no youtuber or a streamer just a average gamer. I have right now HyperX alloy origins 60% and it's kinda ok but it's activation point is killing me. I was choosing from the gk61 which had a hype last year and the new apex pro tkl. They have pretty big price diff so idk about which one but i also heard about the new Wooting 60he which looks cool and is described better than apex pro tkl and mini versions but i mostly want a new tkl keyboard and the 60he is sold out right now so if i would pre purchase it would take with plane shipment that cost extra money a month and a half to come and with free shipment it would take more than 2 months. Please help me make a good choice here!

Hello, could anyone fill me in on the best keyboards for fortnite? I had gotten the APEX Pro Mini Wired because the Wooting would've taken forever to recieve, and it was great for about a week until the key spamming started happening, which apperantly happens to everyone. So, now I am back to using my Higround Basecamp keyboard which is not really for gaming, and doesnt have the fancy rapid trigger and 0.1mm actuation point. I heard the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro is good, but apparently there is a big deadzone on it.
Can someone fill me in on what I should do?
I’m getting a PC really soon and I want to change to M&k but I don’t know anything about them. I just know the Apex Pro TKL is the one used among pros but $190?? Damn I mean is there more affordable options that are just as good as the apex pro?? And If I’m gonna spend $190 it better be the best or is there better options and that price range
I don’t know anything about mice
Which keyboard is the best one mainly for tracking games like Fortnite and Apex Legends? Wooting 60HE/Apex Pro Mini/Apex Pro TKL 2023/2019?
I heard the switches on the Wooting are harder to press (60-65 grams compared to the 45 grams on the SteelSeries). The problem with the Wooting is that the lighter springs aren't available in stock in case the switches are too hard to press, and also the Wooting 60HE keyboard isn't available in stock until June so therefore you have to Pre-Order it before.
Also, do you prefer the 60% or TKL layout? currently I'm using a full-size mechanical keyboard from Logitech the G413 so I'm not sure if I should get the 60% or the TKL layout.
And which layout is the best layout of keyboard in your opinion - ANSI or ISO? since I live in Europe and currently using a ISO keyboard but it doesn’t really matter for me.
For the prices: on my country, the Apex Pro TKL 2023 is $246, on Amazon the Apex Pro TKL 2019 is $167.08, on the Wooting website the Wooting 60HE is 174/189.32$, and the Apex Pro Mini is 287.83$ on my country and $139.49 on Amazon.
I’m using right now the Logitech GPX mouse and the Logitech G413 mechanical keyboard for reference.
Or if you have any other suggestions under $100 aud
What's the best keyboard for comp rn? my 3 choices are apex pro tkl and mini, and wooting 60he, which one do u think is best? a lot of people say its the mini
Wooting. Features, Quality, Support, Software, Swag.
Get the wooting 60he, has the same and a few more features than the rest and also has the best input delay out of the three. Optimum tech's latest video on the apex pro mini compares them if you would like better feedback
Money isn’t a issue but I am currently waiting for the wooting 60HE but I want another keyboard till it arrives. Do you guys recommend the steel series apex pro tkl(2023) or the razer v3 keyboard? If you also recommend the steel series should I buy the 2023 or the 2020?
i mostly play fortnite and cs2 i dont have a budget i want the best keyboard
So ive decided that i need a new keyboard. the problem is, there are 3 options which all seem like a really good choice and i obviously cant get all 3. i was thinking about these 3: 1: Wooting 60 He,
2: Apex pro mini and 3: Monsgeek m1 HE. does anyone have experience with these? if so, please also think about the price, as the apex for example is 120$ cuz of black friday :)
BTW im really sorry if i postet this in the wrong subreddit, but i thought this is the place to ask
i also dont really know what i like, because this would be my first "expensive" keyboard and i dont have much experience with different types of switches etc
My keyboard recently stopped working properly so I have started looking for a new keyboard.
My question is, what keyboard should I get for under 200$? I was thinking about the Apex Pro Mini but It's a bit too expensive for me. I've been searching for a bit on YouTube but I'm just confused with so many videos and I don't even know who to trust; so I'm going on reddit. Can someone recommend me some keyboards that are going to preform really good in Fortnite but also be cheaper that the Apex Pro Mini. Thanks.
Hi everyone, which keyboard is better for competitive Fortnite? SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL 2019 Vs 2023 Apex Pro TKL Vs Apex Pro Mini? I am using it mainly for Fortnite.
The 2019 TKL is available on Amazon for 160$ now and it's still used today by Bugha and other Fortnite Pros.
The 2023 TKL Wired isn't available on Amazon for my location and also SteelSeries website doesn't ship to my country but available in stores in my country and heard it is a worse version of the 2019 one (?).
And the Apex Pro Mini Wired is $139.49 on Amazon and it's the newest one.
Also, the Wooting 60HE is and option but the shipping time might be the longest and the Double Movement Feature was added to Fortnite so its not exclusive anymore, and also Bugha and other Pros stopped using the Double Movement Softwares like Wooting and more a year ago because it was blocked in Fortnite LAN Tournaments. Also, the Wooting switches press power is 15 grams more than the Omnipoint switches on the SteelSeries so it requires more power to press the keys. So this is why I don't think the Wooting is a good option in Fortnite.
By the way, I'm pairing it with the Logitech G Pro X Superlight mouse.
Please help me decide!
The best keyboard for you is the one you like most. A keyboard won’t improve your skill in game. Going from a membrane keyboard to mechanical may give you a slight improvement since the force required to press a key is lower on mechanical keyboards (usually).
The general consensus is that linear switches are best for gaming. Most keyboards come with the option of linear, tactile, and clicky. But the best switch is the one you like most. The switches are the primary thing that changes the way a keyboard feels, not the keyboard itself, so I’d recommend going to Best Buy or micro center or somewhere like that to test out some keyboards and decide what feels best to you. If you want the absolute lowest possible latency, look for optical switches. But just so you know the difference will be basically imperceivable from a regular switch.
Some recommendations I would give are anything by Keychron, they’re inexpensive and consistently good quality. I’d also recommend getting one with hot swap sockets so you can change the switches out to try different types.
If you have some more money to spend, the Glorious GMMK Pro is a high quality, highly customizable board.
And there’s a lot more that aren’t from traditional gaming brands. In my experience you can get a lot more quality for your money if you stay away from the big brands like Corsair, Logitech and Asus.
Edit: I should add that if you want the absolute best latency, wired is always consistent. But if you want wired, try to get something with 2.4ghz. Bluetooth isn’t bad but it does add latency and can be finicky at times.
There's virtually no performance diff between all those steel series boards you mentioned....just pick the one thats available to you and the form factor you can live with
60% gives you the most room on your desk but you lose a good bit of physical buttons, tkl isnt as compact but its a safe option because everything is there besides the numpad
Is a mousepad necessary? Also does keyboard really matter that much. Currently I have a redragon k552 and Corsair gaming harpoon mouse. Recently started playing kbm and am wondering how important this stuff is? Is it really worth it to go spend another $300 on the best mouse and keyboard and buy a mousepad? Also wondering if it is good to upgrade them what should I buy and what should be the first purchase? Sorry to keep adding but does it matter where I plug my kbm into on my pc? Should I plug directly into the motherboard or is through the case fine? Thanks
Yes a mousepad is 100000% a necessity. For the KB&M it is definitely worth paying the premium for hardware that lasts. I have a GPX superlight (Although the GPX 2 is now out so consider it) and an apex pro mini. For the mousepad, I have a steelseries qck heavy large. Don’t forget glass mouse skates.
Buy a decent mouse pad.
I’m not a pro player (yet 😅), but I'm working hard to get there in the next months/years.
I mainly play Fortnite, a bit of CS, and I'm open to other competitive games too.
Right now I’m using an EVGA Z15, but I really want to switch to a compact keyboard to get more mouse space and improve my mechanics.
If you’ve tried both or have long-term experience with either one, I’d love to hear your opinion. What would you pick going into 2025?
Thanks for the help! 🙏
