For gaming, I would recommend magnetic switches. The thing that really makes a difference is the possibility to configure the actuation points of the key. Most games will significantly benefit from it, as configuring a low actuation value drastically lowers your effective input delay. Modern magnetic keyboards lets you configure it up to 0.1mm. For typing, you can change profiles, and set it back to a higher value, so it gets more error permissive.
I would recommend Corsair K70 PRO with MGX switches. Great switches, build quality, and the volume knob and dedicated media key helps on the everyday use. Also, not overpriced like Razer's.
I have a keychron, I really disliked it. It looks nice and it feels good when you move it, but it feels bad when typing and the wireless connection wasn't good.
I have an older Logitech one, actually nothing good or bad. It doesn't feel the greatest and maybe the F keys are way up. But I also wanted to buy either the one you showed or the Corsair one.
I bought the Corsair one. Double typing, seems to be an issue. I didn't contact support yet, but on their website my serial number wasn't included regarding his issue. Wireless mode is very nice, the battery also. Feels good, maybe a bit too loud. I hate the software.
If I could undo my purchase , I would probably go with wooting, but I was a bit scared cause I kinda hate my keychron (I listed to the Internet and bought one) despite everyone loving theirs.
If we are sticking with these four, then I would personally go with the Corsair one.
Here is why: I personally would not count Keychron in a list of gaming keyboards. They are definitely still more office-oriented. If you are not playing at the highest competitive level, then I think a rapid trigger keyboard is completely unnecessary, so Wooting is out as well.
Then between the Corsair and the Logitech, I would say the Corsair is just the better and more recent choice.
Iād say the Corsair board has an overall better feature set compared to the Wooting or Keychron keyboards shown in this choices list. Youāve got a wrist rest, multimedia controls, and an overall better layout *(also shine-through keycaps, which the Keychron board doesnāt have)*
I guess that is how opinions work, right? People can like different things.
As for quality and build, the Corsair board is also solid, the switches are hot-swappable as well, and it is overall a well-reviewed keyboard coming from a reputable keyboard manufacturer. So you are getting both the features and the things you mentioned, which is why I still think it is the best choice out of this lineup, and that is what the OP is asking for, isnāt it? Opinions on what to buy?
Naturally, you are going to get different opinions, but sometimes people on Reddit seem to forget that, as shown by the downvotes. I have not lied about anything or forced the OP to choose only the board I think is best. Of course, I am not saying you are part of that, but it is interesting to me how this platform works sometimes.
Well, that keyboard is not in the lineup now, is it? That is why I specifically said āIf we are sticking with these four.ā The Keychron K2 is definitely more office-oriented. It does not even have a dongle, it is either wired or Bluetooth. So if you buy that board for gaming, wired it is, because you are not going to get good latency with Bluetooth.
