Top Keyboards 2023

The Logitech G613 is a good gaming keyboard. Its Romer-G tactile switches have a short pre-travel distance and a low actuation force, which makes the keyboard feel responsive. Unfortunately, the build quality is just okay, and the lack of backlighting may be troublesome for those who play late at night, in the dark.

The Razer Turret is a great keyboard and mouse combo for Xbox One and PC, though it needs more Xbox games that support it.

The Logitech POP Keys is okay for office use. The TTC Brown switches on our unit are quiet to type on, and they provide tactile feedback when a key is registered, but the bump is very subtle. You can use it via Bluetooth or its USB receiver, and you can pair it with up to three devices. Unfortunately, the round keycaps are close together and might cause you to make more typos than usual. Also, there are no incline settings or wrist rest, though the board is low enough that you should feel comfortable without it. The board lacks the usual keys that most other boards have, like Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down, but you can remap the emoji keys if needed.

The Logitech G213 Prodigy is a decent gaming keyboard. The rubber dome switches have a low actuation force that makes typing feel very light, but their high pre-travel distance makes the keyboard feel less responsive overall. It doesn't feel well-built and the backlighting is zone-lit instead of per-key. The function keys are macro-programmable, but there aren't any dedicated macro keys for MMO games.

While it’s not the best gaming keyboard in terms of raw capability or value, Roccat’s Vulcan II simply can’t be beaten for giving your desk an RGB light show.

The Vulcan II is a more budget-friendly version of the prettiest keyboard we’ve seen, with super smooth mechanical linear switches.

The Logitech K350 is almost 20 years old, but it’s still kicking, with a low price and decent typing experience that make it a surprisingly viable option for a budget keyboard.

The iQunix ZX75 is a very good keyboard that delivers a unique look and great design for the money. Software to replace its missing keys is absent, but if you can get by without Page Up / Down, it’s another solid entry from iQunix.

As a showcase of Cherry’s thinnest switches, the K100 Air is interesting. But it won’t outperform any gaming keyboard, despite being the most expensive one on the market.

SteelSeries’ Apex 9 series is an attractive option for those interested in a slightly-less customizable Apex Pro Mini.
