Top Keyboards 2023

The Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum builds on the strengths of its predecessor, the G910 Orion Spark, while cutting the fat. This results in a stronger, more streamlined gaming keyboard.

The SteelSeries M500 is a sleek, minimalist mechanical gaming keyboard that is comfortable, customizable, and reasonably priced.

Although they pack few fancy features, Logitech's G610 Orion Red and Brown keyboards offer simple, reliable performance that mechanical keyboard enthusiasts will appreciate.

The Logitech G810 is a solid keyboard but it faces tough competition from just about every gaming keyboard manufacturer. Although its plastics feel solid and resist fingerprints, it’s not as premium feeling as some of its metal-clad competitors. I love its minimal footprint and understated design, but you can find other keyboards that do the same. Where the Logitech G810 truly shines is in its software. While it doesn’t have any macro keys, the Logitech Gaming Software can be configured to turn the F-keys into macro keys by detecting specific apps and games. Its software also allows you to download pre-configured game profiles that utilize the keyboard’s RGB lighting in unique ways. And if you have other Logitech peripherals, you can control all of them from the same app and can even sync your lighting effects across your devices with a click of a button. At $159, the G810 is far from cheap, although slightly cheaper than the hardcore G910. The G810 will appeal to gamers who love Logitech’s Romer-G mechanical switches, slick software, and understated design. But if you’re not impressed with Logitech’s keys or software, your money is better spent elsewhere.

The Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2016 is an impressive, reasonably priced keyboard with a comfortable configuration and helpful software.

This mechanical, tenkeyless keyboard is a gaming winner for those short on space. Its software lets you assign complex macros and elaborate lighting effects to any key, and gives you supreme control over game-specific profiles, too. It's worth the hefty outlay if you commit to harnessing it.

The K70 RGB is one of the best gaming keyboards available, offering a plethora of lighting options and solid performance in a sleek design.

Logitech's K480 Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard lets you connect a computer, your phone, and tablet, all of which could be using different platforms, to a single keyboard—with solid results.

The wireless Microsoft All-in-One Media Keyboard lets you easily stream music and other content from a home-theater or living-room PC from the comfort of the sofa.

If you want a catch-all input device for your HDTV-connected Android device or PC (on which you don't plan to type entire tomes), the Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. M is a solid pick.
