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.

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 was planning to buy a wireless keyboard in the future, but i don't know if it's good or not. Some of people say it's good, but some of it say it's not. My friend also said a wireless keyboard is not recommended for competitive games, but i rarely play competitive games, most game I play is casual game like stardew valley, minecraft, and some single player games. And mostly i use my keyboard, other than playing games, to use shortcut keys when I do editing and digital drawing, and sometimes typing some documents.

Should I buy a wireless keyboard? And I'm not very familiar with this keyboard stuff. Do you guys have any keyboard recommendations

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

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 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!

I have always used wired but I have the keyboard and mouse farther away as they are on a lapboard couch set up. Getting pretty over the wires.

Recommendations appreciated.

I was considering getting a wireless keyboard but my friend said that response times on wireless keyboards are never as good as wired keyboards. Any truth to this?

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! :)

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.

I’m looking to buy some peripherals for my gaming pc and I’m asking if wireless are just as effective as wired or not as good. Also looking to mainly get steel series if that helps.

Also does it matter for certain games?

Thanks alot

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

Hi looking for a gaming 75% wireless keyboard. That’s in a cleaner aesthetic.

I had heard the rainy75 or keychron v1/q1/he could be a good starting recommendations.

For the rainy75 is the standard or pro recommended? And they don’t seem to specify the polling rate but I had read on a comment that it was 500 hz. Is the rain75 good for gaming or is there better choices? I’m just looking for good performance it doesn’t need to be the best.

Hello everyone. I hope I did everything right with the reddit tags. I am absolutely not good at rediting

I am currently looking for a wireless keyboard that I can use for gaming and video editing (perhaps 70% cause of the arrow keys? Tho if other video editors have any other recommendations I am absolutely down for that) I currently use a Corsair K65 and it annoys me so much that I can't find good matching keycaps sets for them. I really want to be able to just buy keycaps without worrying too much as I have no clue about keyboards.

Also it should be wireless. Considering I want to do gaming with it delay should not exist (ik it always exist.. but you hopefully get what I mean)

Any recommendations and Tipps will be welcome and if you need any more infos surely just comment lmao

Thank y'all so much for helping and/or reading

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.

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!

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!

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?
