ROCCAT Magma

The ROCCAT Magma keyboard is good for gaming. It has low latency, a Game Mode button, and customizable RGB backlighting; however, the keys aren't individually lit, and there are only five lighting zones. You can set macros to the alphanumerical keys on the left side of the board, including 5, T, G, and B, and you can also set an Easy-Shift
