The only keyboards I can really recommend is the AK680 if you want a really good experience, then the AK820MAX HE, but make sure to turn off the variable actuation point on that one since it's quite buggy, other than those I haven't tried any others.

Feels nicer to use than a $20 basic office Logitech keyboard but that's really it. I have a Chinese HE keyboard (jazz ak820 pro max he), it feels and sounds much better than my old basic keyboard but I can't say it really makes any difference in game performance wise. On paper there are some gains response time, polling rate, max number of simultaneous inputs, actuation point, etc all are better but the difference is very minor.

I got one(ajazz ak820 HE max) to replace my generic 20 bucks Logitech office keyboard. The keys feel so much nicer but I can't say it made any difference in game. The keyboard is more pleasant overal to use though. Sounds more satisfying and not clacky at all but I don't think gaming keyboards provide any real competitive edge.

Idk what the other comment is talking about, hall effect keybs do make a difference in val, and they're not more expensive than mechanical keybs in 2024. I found the aula win65 he and the ajazz Hall effect keyboard on Amazon for the same price as a normal keyb. Also the fun60 lineup is nice. If you have the funds then why not

The Ajazz AK820 Max is already wireless capable. There is a BT/USB/2.4G selector switch on the back of the keyboard next to the USB port. That selects between Bluetooth, USB wired, and 2.4GHz wireless modes.

The latency difference between most wired keyboards is negligible, thus when looking at membrane/mechanical keyboards, most wired keyboards are equally good for gaming. This keyboard in particular is a membrane keyboard, but most people tend to prefer mechanical keyboards. For membrane keyboards, the key is always either all the way down or all the way up, so your fingers can get tired from the keys hitting the bottom as you're pressing them. If you happen to like membrane keyboards in particular, this one is fine, as is any other keyboard. Otherwise I'd advise you to get a mechanical or magnetic keyboard. Mechanical keyboards tend to be louder, but have a bigger travel range for the keys, and the keys don't have to hit the bottom in order for them to be pressed. For magnetic (= hall effect) keyboards, you can set the depth you have to press the keys to any distance, and is arguably the only keyboard type that can give you an advantage in gaming. (Along with tunneling and optical keyboards) Also this is personal preference, but imo having a volume wheel is very useful. As for the round shapes of the keys, I wouldn't recommend it for gaming but then again, I doubt it'd make a big difference

Personally, I'd recommend the Ajazz AK820 MAX HE since it's got an aluminum plate, the wired only version is pretty cheap for a hall effect keyboard, and its switches are hot swappable. There is software for it, but it isn't very well documented so changing settings for the first time may be a bit of a hassle. I can't speak for regular mechanical keyboards, but there's great affordable mechanical keyboards out there as well.

Hello everyone, I have 2 problems with my AJAZZ AK820 MAX HE and I'm hoping if someone can help me. I have bought this keyboard recently and i'm overall quite happy with it, sounds nice, feels good. I just can not get the keyboard to connect with the software/driver for it. It just won't work at all. Also, when i press a key, my pc often does not register it. For example -> I press D while playing a game and my character won't move. It does work when I almost slam my finger on the key, only then it will register. Please help me with this. I really want to use it more often, but because of these problems, I can't use it.
