SeekerMountain Everest Max
The Mountain Everest Max is excellent for gaming. All its keys are macro-programmable, and the dedicated software is easy-to-use, but it's only available on Windows. The keyboard is available with different Cherry MX switches, so you can get the ones you prefer, and it's hot-swappable. It's also customizable, as you can remove the Numpad if you want some extra space on your desk. Its latency is low enough for most competitive gamers, but it's still a bit higher than other gaming keyboards.

The Everest Max is a great keyboard. It’s innovative and absolutely feature rich. I really, really like what Mountain is up to, but for $269, small things like poor keycaps and case ping really do stand out. Still, this is a solid keyboard no matter what type of game you play and offers features you can’t find anywhere else. One thing is for sure, Mountain is a company PC gamers should keep a close eye on.
