Top Keyboards 2023

The Logitech G413 is a great gaming keyboard. It features Romer-G switches that have a smooth bump for tactile feedback and have a quick actuation point. The board is well-built and features red backlighting. Unfortunately, you can't use any key to set macros and need to use the functions keys, which isn't ideal for most.

The Microsoft Surface Keyboard is a very good office keyboard. Its low profile is comfortable even without a wrist rest, and it provides a great typing experience while keeping noise to a minimum. It works fully on Windows, but some keys don't work if you're on macOS or Linux.

The Keychron C1 successfully delivers the minimum required of a wired mechanical keyboard for a nice price. It's an excellent value for an 87-key board.

You can expect all the same great features from the Ducky One 3 Mini Daybreak Edition as with the Ducky One 3 series, but with a little compromise in its RGB lighting. Despite this, this is one of the most visually beautiful keyboards available, thanks to its high-quality construction, sturdy chassis, and meticulous attention to detail. It’s a good keyboard, but its small size won’t appeal to everyone. However, this premium typing experience has honestly surpassed all expectations from consumers. Because of how fantastic it is, this keyboard will make its way into your travel bag because of its enhanced portability.

Roccat’s Vulcan II Mini is a 65 percent keyboard with bright, colorful, and admittedly ostentatious lighting, but at least it doesn’t look like every other ultra-compact keyboard on the market. Oh, and don’t get me started on the software.

The Logitech G715 is a fantastic gaming keyboard. You can choose from three GX mechanical switch types at checkout, and regardless of which you choose, they're all well-suited for gaming. Its latency is extremely low, making it well-suited for any genre of game you want to play. Also, its build quality feels premium, and it's very comfortable to use for long durations thanks to the included wrist rest that adds great ergonomic support. Plus, the Logitech G HUB software allows for thorough customization of the RGB backlighting, though macro programming is limited only to the F1-F12 keys.

The Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro is an outstanding gaming keyboard. It has extremely low latency and feels very well-built. The linear optical mechanical switches on this unit feel very light and have a very short pre-travel distance, making them feel very responsive. The low profile design also makes it comfortable to use without a wrist rest. The keycaps are made of ABS plastic, but they feel good on the fingertips and aren't flimsy or cheap feeling. Unfortunately, the keys wobble noticeably during use, especially some of the modifier keys.

The Corsair K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS is a remarkable gaming keyboard. It offers great in-game performance thanks to its extremely low latency and high polling rate options. The PBT keycaps feel great to use and have a rough texture that adds some grip, which is great if you're prone to sweat. It comes with your choice of Cherry MX linear Red or Speed switches, both of which are great for gaming. However, it has a hot-swappable circuit board, so if you want a different switch, you can swap these stock switches out for several other options without having to solder. It's compatible with the iCUE software, which you can use to program macros, adjust the polling rate, enable some gaming modes, and customize the RGB backlighting. Unfortunately, its ergonomics are only mediocre as it's a compact, high-profile board that doesn't include a wrist rest.

The Keychron Q4 is a very good office keyboard. It offers an excellent typing experience and feels incredibly well-built thanks to the premium materials used. It has a toggle at the top for operating system compatibility, and its companion software is available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Also, it's great to use in a noise-sensitive environment as it's very quiet to type on by design. Unfortunately, it has a high profile and fixed incline, so it's uncomfortable to type on for long periods, especially since it doesn't include a wrist rest. Also, it lacks dedicated arrow keys for navigating through spreadsheets or documents.

The NuPhy Air75 is a remarkable keyboard for gaming use. Thanks to its low-profile switches, the pre-travel distance is incredibly short, meaning keypresses feel responsive. It feels well-built and comfortable to use without a wrist rest, thanks to its low profile. Its latency is great, meaning games will feel fluid and responsive. Also, every key is macro-programmable, and its companion software allows for profile creation and RGB lighting customization. Unfortunately, the RGB backlighting doesn't shine through the keycaps, so the legends are hard to see in the dark.
