5 good gaming keyboards from cheap to luxurious
A good gaming keyboard does not automatically ensure success in the game, but it can make a lot of things easier: Illuminated keys help in the dark, quick access to multimedia functions brings comfort and anti-ghosting ensures reliable command input. We present five good PC keyboards for gamers – from inexpensive to opulent.
HyperX Alloy Core – the entry-level keyboard
the HyperX Alloy Core is a good gaming keyboard that has a lot to offer despite its low price. The keyboard offers a stable frame and is even splash-proof. The keys have RGB lighting that can be divided into up to five areas. The built-in light strip on the top also offers six different lighting effects.
Membrane switches are used in the HyperX Alloy Core, making it significantly quieter than mechanical keyboards. Of course, the keyboard also offers anti-ghosting, which is so important for gaming, and has dedicated media keys.

Roccat Vulkan TKL Pro – the compact one
If you only have limited space on your desk, you need a compact gaming keyboard. That’s exactly what it offers Roccat Vulkan TKL Pro. The abbreviation TKL stands for “Tenkeyless” and means that it does not have a numeric keypad.
The gaming keyboard is a real eye-catcher. The frame is made of brushed aluminum. The key switches are encased in transparent elements and are accentuated by the customizable RGB lighting. The quality of the mechanical switches is high. According to Roccat, they should withstand up to 100 million keystrokes. A light barrier built into the Schlater ensures that inputs are registered even faster than with conventional mechanical switches. A mixer-style audio control completes the stylish keyboard.

Corsair K100 RGB – the ultimate
The all-round carefree package with all important gaming features offers the Corsair K100 RGB. Visually, the gaming keyboard impresses with a brushed aluminum frame. The RGB lighting is not just limited to the keys, the sides of the frame are also shrouded in light. Thanks to 44 lighting zones, the Corsair K100 RGB also offers atmospheric lighting effects.
The K100 RGB also offers freely configurable macro keys, an illuminated iCUE rotary switch with practical multimedia functions and a wrist rest with memory foam that can be easily attached to the keyboard with a magnet. The only downer: the proud price.

Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro – the noble one
the Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro It’s not exactly cheap, but it has a lot to offer: its opto-mechanical switches and a shortened key travel enable particularly fast reactions. With a battery life of more than 40 hours (at 50 percent brightness), the Deathstalker V2 Pro is also quite enduring for a wireless keyboard. You can connect the keyboard either via a 2.4 GHz wireless connection, which offers particularly low latency, or via Bluetooth 5.0. Thanks to the latter standard, the keyboard is also compatible with tablets, smartphones or smart TVs.
The RGB lighting on the Deathstalker V2 Pro is rather subtle. Both the characters and symbols as well as the backgrounds of the keys are wrapped in RGB colors. The lighting can be adjusted individually via Razor Chroma RGB and can also be synchronized with other hardware that has RGB lighting.

For the key switches, Logitech relies on mechanical GL switches, which come in three versions: Clicky – with an audible click, Tactile – with a slightly tactile feedback and Linear – with a flowing stroke. You can customize the F-keys individually via software and also assign macros to them. Several profiles, dedicated multimedia keys and RGB lighting are also offered.
