A gaming keyboard is one of the most important peripherals for any PC, Mac, or console gamer. The best gaming keyboards can offer unmatched performance and tactile feedback that feels just like a traditional mechanical keyboard.
By investing in a high-quality keyboard, you will be able to improve your game play experience by offering faster response times. In addition to this, you will also produce fewer errors and be able to avoid any frustrating moments during gameplay.


For gamers, the keyboard is an essential piece of equipment. This is because it's used for a variety of gaming actions such as chat and commands. A good gaming keyboard will provide ample space for all of these actions, as well as being responsive to your inputs.
The best gaming keyboards have thick and durable keys so they are more resistant to wear and tear from constant use than a standard keyboard. They also come with special features such as macro keys which allow you to program keystrokes into the keyboard instead of relying on the mouse or other input devices.
There are a lot of factors to consider when buying a gaming keyboard.
A lot of people prefer mechanical keyboards because they provide a tactile and audio feedback that is not available with membrane keyboards. A mechanical keyboard also has a life span of around 50 million keystrokes.
If you are looking for the best gaming keyboard, then you should be considering factors such as how much your budget is, what type of games you like to play, and what types of keys it has.
In today's digital world, we are in a very competitive game - to get the top spot. It is a great way to build up your portfolio and do it in an efficient way.
Many keyboard manufacturers are still trying to build a successful PC gaming keyboard. There has not been much innovation in the past few years but the products do come up with some interesting features.
The folks working on these keyboards have built-in in-built sensors that detect whether you are holding the analog or digital keys at the same time. The product name is based on that fact and also comes with a feature of being able to switch between key values in different combinations by using either an input button or a key sensor. These keyboards can be used for typing, typing and gaming and even for all three at once using cross modifier keys.


A keyboard is a tool that you use to play and interact with games. These typically require a certain set of keys, which have more than one function.
The problem is that the same keyboard can perform multiple functions in different games. So if you are playing a game where there are only three buttons, but the keys on the keyboard can change those numbers in some way, then it is quite difficult to discern whether your actions or mouse movements are actually doing something useful for the game or just changing the number with your fingers.
The use of the gaming keyboard in daily life has reached a new level. The basic keyboard is timeless and does all that it was intended to do well. It is not only functional but also aesthetically appealing as well.
But why is this useful and how can we make it better? Some companies want to go beyond the basic functionality and design an elegant keyboard for their clients. They want to design a gaming keyboard that will give them an edge over their competition. The most common reasons for wanting such a keyboard are:
To encourage creativity: A good gaming keyboard allows its users to type faster, more accurate, and with more force. It should therefore be ergonomic enough for people who spend hours on end playing video games or other games like chess or billiards .We are all familiar with the keyboard on our computer. It is generally made up of keys that are designed to help us write, such as the backspace key, enter key and the delete key.Although gaming keyboards and mice have existed for a long time, they are still in their early days. As gamers, we tend to be very attracted to these products and are willing to pay huge amounts of money for them.
The reason behind this is the fact that there is no standardisation of their design and the quality of the products varies significantly. It's also hard for a brand new manufacturer to get established because they don't know how to design a keyboard or mouse so that it will look good in every type of computer environment.
As a result, manufacturers have been forced to copy existing designs from other companies such as Razer or Logitech and make them most affordable - at least compared with other models - at a cost considerably lower than that of competing brands who offer similar features but with higher quality materials

The Red Devils officially announced today that their new e-sports mechanical keyboard is available for pre-order today. The price is 1,299 yuan, and the initial price is 899 yuan. It will go on sale at 10:00 on January 15th. The Red Devils gaming mechanical keyboard adopts the mainstream Gasket structure and hot-swappable base. Appearance Deuterium front transparent body design, 100-key compact key type, with PBT keycap, equipped with TTC quick silver switch V2 version, all keys support hot swap, customized as you like. It supports wired, bluetooth, and 2.4GHz three-mode connection, and has a built-in 4000mAh capacity battery, which lasts about 28 hours with the light on and 200 hours with the light off. It is worth mentioning that there is a 1.47-inch display in the upper right corner of the keyboard, which can display parameters and the wallpaper of Red Magic Girl in real time. Users can also customize wallpapers, and use the knob to complete quick operations such as system parameter adjustment.

The height of CHERRY, which is what we often call "original factory height", means that the height of the keycaps is consistent with the keycaps used by Cherry, and its height from top to bottom is R1-R1-R2-R3-R4-R4, long Time typing will be more comfortable. two
MDA height, the overall keycap height will be slightly higher than the original keycap, and the contact area will be larger, which may be better in terms of comfort (depending on personal usage habits). three
OEM height refers to the height of the keycap produced by the non-original factory (OEM is the abbreviation of foundry), which is higher than the height of the original keycap, and the arc is slightly larger than the original keycap. It is the most common key in China. hat height. Four The height of ASA is slightly higher than that of OEM. It belongs to the category of ball caps. The gradient of the key caps is R4-R4-R3-R2-R1-R1. five
OSA height, the height will be higher than the ASA ball cap, the top is larger, the finger tapping is more comfortable, and the keycap gradient is R1-R2-R3-R4-R5-R5. six
The SA highball cap is almost twice as high as the original keycap. The shape is more rounded, the keycap has a large concave arc, and the contact area between the finger and the keycap is small. If you don’t use the hand rest, it may be tiring. seven
MG height, the height is a bit lower than the SA highball cap, and the contact area is smaller. eight
MIX height is an improved version of the SA ball cap height. The height is lower, the surface of the keycap is flatter, and the contact area between the keycap and the finger is larger. It is a very small height keycap, and it is more comfortable to use than SA. , but it is best to use it with a hand rest. Nine
The height of the DSA ball cap is much lower than that of the SA high ball cap. There is no difference in the height of R1-R4. All the keycaps have the same height, which is commonly known as "flat chest keycap". ten
The XDA height is the first self-designed height in China. In 2016, it was designed and proposed by the domestic player "Wen Ruo Liu Xiang". In addition to the mass production OEM, this is the first key cap with a patented appearance. It is derived from the DSA ball cap. Based on the improvement of the short ball cap, all the keycaps are of the same height, which can bring a simple and high-end feeling like DSA. eleven The ARC height is a new height improved by Memories from the XDA height. There is no difference in the same height between the columns. The overall height will be slightly higher than that of XDA, and the contact area will be larger than that of XDA. twelve
The PG height is introduced by the rib design, and the XDA-like height will be lower than that of ARC, and the contact surface will be larger. Thirteen
The KAT height is a low-height ball cap designed by the Construction Bureau. Compared with the SA ball cap, the height is much lower. In addition to the 13 keycap heights introduced above, there are also niche keycap heights such as JDA, ADA, and SP. Interested friends can learn about them separately.

Before you know it, it’s 2023. Recently, the most popular topic in the key circle is the 70th anniversary of Cherry. As an axis factory + keyboard factory that has survived to the present in ancient times, whether you like it or not, you will respectfully call it "" original factory". As an old player who has played with peripherals for many years, this article will talk to you about the Cherry switches and keyboards that I have played with myself, and share the basic knowledge and my personal opinions for novice friends who plan to enter the pit. Lizi has a new understanding, a friendly reminder, there are many actual pictures in this article, it is recommended to use WiFi network to watch. Since Cherry is a manufacturer that ships switches and finished keyboards at the same time, it puts the switch in the front. The traditional color distinction is no longer applicable to the current switch classification. According to the current popular classification method, Cherry has the following five types of switches. . 1️⃣ Standard shaft The mass-produced switches normally refer to the traditional red, black and green tea. They are also the four switches with the largest shipment volume of Cherry. They are widely used in the mass-produced keyboards of various brand manufacturers. There are enough so that it is planned into the standard axis body. Most of the conventional axis bodies of friends also use the color naming scheme. In fact, the current players will classify the axis bodies in the form of triggers. The structure of the Cherry shaft is normally composed of the upper cover, the bottom case, the shaft, the shaft foot and the spring. Among them, the shaft and the spring have a greater impact on the hand feel. Of course, the sound section and the large section have separate designs, so that The structure of Cherry is collectively called MX axis, which is also used by friends to this day. Red axis (regular linear) It is the shaft body that manufacturers have chosen the most over the years. As a linear shaft body, it has a straight up and down feel. At the same time, 45±15cN pressure grams and 2.0±0.6mm trigger travel are also the industry benchmark for linear shafts. Other linear shafts will be pulled out. Compare with the red axis. The red switch is the switch with the largest purchase volume of almost all manufacturers who use Cherry switches. After all, few people will hate the red switch. I personally recommend this switch for beginners. It can be used as a reference for better understanding + comparison The difference in the feel of different axes. Black axis (large gram weight linear) Like the red axis, it belongs to the same type of linear axis, but the pressure is much larger. The pressure is 60±20cN, and the trigger key stroke is 2.0±0.6mm. The most obvious difference is that it needs a larger pressing force to trigger. For users with relatively large strength, they can experience the thrill of vigorous input. I liked the black switch very much when I bought a mechanical keyboard N years ago. After all, young people would prefer the feeling of typing vigorously. However, middle-aged and elderly users like us with muscle weakness are more tired after using it. It may be because of the current users typing. Due to the large quantity, few manufacturers now make large-gram weight linear shafts, and the 60g of conventional black shafts is considered to be the upper limit. Green axis (sound paragraph) In the early years, it was divided into the paragraph shaft type like the tea shaft. After several years of continuous publicity by friends, it has now become a separate shaft called audible paragraph. The pressure of the paragraph is 50±15cN. The number is 60±15cN, and the trigger key stroke is 2.2±0.6mm. Because the internal structure has a separate sound-generating design, it will have a unique crisp sound when pressed, and it is jokingly called the artifact of the dormitory. Friends who pay attention to e-sports competitions should know that many e-sports players will choose green switches as their competition equipment. The reason is that the trigger weight of the green switches is the same as that of the red switches, which is relatively light. At the same time, when the stroke reaches the trigger point, there will be very obvious Paragraph sense, this kind of paragraph sense combined with the sound unit can give the input user very strong feedback, which is very important for users such as gamers who need clear input. Tea shaft (large paragraph) It is of the same type as the green switch, but it does not have a separate sound unit, and the feel is also heavy. The pressure of the step is 55±25cN, the pressure at the bottom is 60±15cN, and the trigger stroke is 2.2±0.6mm. There are two differences between the two major types of shafts, green shafts and tea shafts: The first tea switch does not have a separate sound unit, so there will be no loud sound during pressing and rebounding. The pressure weight of the second tea switch is very large, and the trigger weight of the green switch is relatively small, and it will feel light when used. The brown switch is as suitable for the Dali King Kong finger as the black switch. Personally, I don’t like to use brown switches. The reason is the same as the black switches above. After all, the stroke and grams are relatively large, and the input requires a relatively large force to trigger. It is also a type of switch that manufacturers are not very concerned about. King Kong means that what users like is not good. Silver axis (small gram weight linear) It has become popular in recent years. It is a bit different from the above four switches that are mass-produced switches with high usage rate. They are small-weight linear switches. They were rare switches in the early days, and they have been used in many mass-produced keyboards now. Yes, the pressure in grams is 45±15cN, and the trigger stroke is 1.2±0.4mm, which are much smaller than the red axis. I have also used the silver switch on my own customized kit stably for more than a year. Compared with the red switch, the pressure of the silver switch is very small. When typing, I feel that the trigger is faster. For our middle-aged and elderly users, it is a The main shaft is quite comfortable, but the user of Dali King Kong finger will feel that it is easy to accidentally touch it. This difference is also the reason why the main shaft must be diversified. In addition to the above-mentioned well-known MX structural shafts, Cherry has a relatively large shipment volume. VIOLA shaft , Players are generally called V-axis, the main focus is dust-proof and durable, the purchase price of this axis is cheaper than the conventional MX axis, of course, the feel is indeed worse, and the dust-proof interface also has the problem of keycap incompatibility, I personally don't recommend getting started. 2️⃣ rare shaft Gray axis (large gram weight linear) It is a model that I collect alone. After all, the bottoming pressure is exaggerated to 80cN, and the trigger key travel is 1.2mm, which is much heavier than the black switch. Therefore, it is usually used for large keys when customizing or changing the keyboard. It is rarely used as a main shaft. Except for this one in my hand, Cherry also has rare switches such as green switches, white switches, and milk switches, but I haven’t received them yet, embarrassing. In addition, Cherry has recently launched a model that uses a special rare axis jade axis. As a segment axis modified by community players based on a white axis, the trigger pressure of the jade axis is 40 grams, the segment pressure is 55 grams, the trigger stroke is 2mm, and the total stroke is 4mm. It is more inclined to the tea shaft, and at the same time it has an excellent factory run, interested friends can pay attention to it. 3️⃣ silent shaft Although the mute shaft is also an MX structure, it belongs to a separate series. Currently, it is better to buy Mute red switch , because the axis is pink, also known as the pink axis, the axis will be different from the normal version, and it is less noisy and smoother to use. Cherry's cooperative brands generally have (Corsair, Logitech) keyboards that use this axis. On sale, and have had my own custom kit for a long time. 4️⃣ RGB shaft There is actually no difference in feel between the RGB switch and the normal version, the difference lies in the casing and light transmission ability: The conventional shaft body is a black shell, and the reserved lamp position is suitable for the early lamp bead scheme. Now there are still many manufacturers that use this common shaft body. The shell of the RGB axis body has higher light transmittance, and it will have a better light guide effect when paired with a patch lamp. It is the first choice for RGB fans. 5️⃣ Ultra-thin shaft Cherry released last year ULP shaft The short shaft has been rolled to a new height, the industry’s shortest 3.5mm, and it can still maintain a clear paragraph feel under the premise of an extremely low height. This shaft can be said to represent the current technology of the shaft industry Peak, in the previous Corsair K100Air review, I also mentioned the shaft type of the short shaft. The actual performance of this shaft body is really good, the trigger and bottoming of the paragraph are quite clear, but due to the complex structure, it is easy to dismantle the shaft and scrap it when dismantling, and it has not been cheap because of the good materials + complicated manufacturing process. Cherry will produce mass-produced keyboards using this switch body. Friends who are interested in ultra-thin keyboards can look forward to the performance of the original factory. Compared with a wide variety of switches, Cherry's original keyboard is also a favorite of players. The well-known G80 series without steel structure and the MX8.x series with suspension structure, the molds of these two product lines have been in accordance with ergonomics. The direction is constantly iterating. This paragraph introduces the corresponding models that I personally recommend novices to try and the reasons for recommending them. 1️⃣ Steel-free structure丨Cherry G80-3000 LPCEU-0 Keyboard players who entered the pit in the early years should have a G80-3000. The biggest feature of this series is the steel-free structure. Cherry calls it "restore the feel of the shaft body to the greatest extent". This structure has a unique experience that can only be experienced after actual use. Wonderful feel, if you plan to enter the pit of mechanical keyboards, the G80-3000 without steel structure is one of the classic series that cannot be missed. As the name of this structure says, the G80-3000 series does not use a positioning plate to fix the shaft body, but directly fixes the shaft body on the PCB. There are many manufacturers who can make this structure, and they are willing to take out the quantity There are not many products and sales. After all, if the production accuracy is not high, it is easy to deviate from the axis. Manufacturers with poor quality control of the production line will generally not touch it. The special structure without steel structure means a special feel. There will be no blocking of the positioning plate when inputting. Continuous tapping can not only clearly feel the stroke change of the shaft body, but also have a little feedback force of rebound when touching the bottom. It is a little bit similar to the current mainstream Gasket, and it also has a mahjong-like input sound. The actual experience is quite amazing. Personally, I strongly recommend you to try it out. In addition to the unique input feel, the G80-3000 series is also very comfortable to use. The concept of ergonomics was mentioned in the previous keyboard recommendation article. In human terms, it is not easy to get tired when using it, which is far better than the male model hull. The big chin makes it more comfortable to place the thumb, and the big forehead is also convenient for players to paint by themselves, so the G80-3000 series has always been a favorite of modders. In addition to the above G80-3000, I have another recommendation for the model without steel structure, which is the just-released MX3.0S RGB player version. This Scott signature version is also the 70th anniversary edition of Cherry. The shaft body is mentioned above. The rare jade shaft, the structure is an aluminum alloy shell that takes into account both light weight and stability. The RGB version and the non-RGB version are each limited to 999 pieces, which can be flushed. 2️⃣ Suspension structure丨Cherry MX8.2 The floating structure keyboard rarely appeared in my previous recommendation list. However, the high-end models of mass-produced keyboard manufacturers use this structure most. Compared with the ordinary hull structure, the floating structure tests the design skills and production accuracy. Cherry as The industry benchmark, the top model MX8.2 ammunition box series is a typical case of careful design in all aspects. The CNC anodized all-aluminum casing and the aluminum alloy ammunition box, which are relatively expensive to manufacture, will not be described in detail. The appearance is very recognizable. I believe no one can reject the high-value aluminum lump. MX8.2 does not use a conventional suspension structure. , instead of adding two layers of sound-absorbing pads to sandwich the PCB, the feel will be softer than the steel-free structure, and it can also effectively reduce cavity sound and other input noise. Matching the structure is Cherry’s exclusive original height keycaps. Many players will be obsessed with the material of the keycaps. In fact, different heights have a great impact on the input feel. The original height will be shorter than the widely used OEM height. For users who continuously input time, it can effectively reduce fatigue. If there is a requirement for portability, MX8.2 is a good choice. In addition to hardware design, as a three-mode keyboard, MX8.2 also has excellent self-developed wireless technology. The stability and delay of 2.4G connection can represent the strength of peripheral manufacturers. With the blessing of CAWT wireless technology, MX8.2 can not only It achieves an input delay of less than 1ms, and at the same time can quickly switch between multiple device connections, which is quite friendly to users with multiple devices. At present, the keyboard industry is in a state of full bloom. Some newcomers will indeed think that Cherry is outdated and not worth playing. In fact, Cherry has always maintained its original industry status. Both the switch body and the finished keyboard have been iteratively developed. It is more inclined to the input experience rather than "technology based on skin replacement", and old players can feel the obvious optimization. In addition, I also got some internal information. Cherry is researching a shaft (magnetic shaft) that subverts everyone's cognition. Through the chip and supporting drivers, the pressure can be adjusted in real time. Compared with the technological content of the ULP shaft mentioned above It is higher, but the cost has not been lowered yet, so it is not listed for use, and I am looking forward to the actual performance. Finally, I would like to congratulate Cherry on its 70th anniversary. I hope that in the future, we can bring players more options and more interesting and practical products. This is what our players want most. Thank you for watching. This article is over.

As a code writer and game player, I have followed the trend and bought many entry-level mechanical keyboards before. I was persuaded by the sound and feel, and I also bought easy-to-use and durable domestic keyboards. Recently, I have been using Thunder Cypress V700DIY. It is Rapoo's first 104-key full-size customized keyboard, with a functional area in the upper right corner, suitable for friends with relatively large desktops. Equipped with Rapoo self-developed KA-12 linear fast silver switch/spring white switch, comes with factory lubricant, supports full-size custom hot-swap, and 104-key Symphony RGB backlight system. From the configuration point of view, it almost meets the requirements. All my fantasies about office/gaming keyboards, let's talk about them next. The keyboard adopts a narrow frame, with a silver aluminum alloy base and a pure white keycap, and the temperament is accurate. The base has a very metallic texture, which matches well with light-colored keycaps, and changing to themed keycaps can highlight your personality. The keyboard is a bit heavy to hold. It is a pure wired keyboard and is suitable for fixed-point use. A 1.5-meter-long cable is included in the package. The key and cable are separated, which provides a lot of convenience for desktop cable storage. There are silicone feet and non-slip stickers on the back for double insurance, ensuring that it can be used stably on a smooth desktop, whether it is slightly lifted or laid flat. The keyboard switch adopts the Kuaiyin switch independently developed by Rapoo, and the feel of all keys is the same. It is compatible with most five-pin hot-swappable switches on the market, such as Kaihua, Gaote, Jiadalong, TTC and so on. The feel of this switch is similar to that of the red switch, but the key stroke is shorter and the rebound is faster. The most important point is that it is a satellite switch with built-in factory lubrication. It has a lifespan of 50 million times, and it is smooth when you click continuously. You don’t need to press hard deliberately, and the rebound follows your hand. I think it is better than the red switch. It is more suitable for typing for a long time, and it is also more suitable for playing MOBA games. In addition, I also tried another Rapoo white switch, a box of 12, with a key puller, it gave me the feeling that it has a shorter key stroke than the fast silver switch, and the key The force is lighter, the sound is smaller, and the continuous clicking speed is faster. When I have been coding for a long time or need to input a large amount of data for a long time, I will choose to change to this kind of shaft. It will feel easier to type and play. I also recommend this kind of axis for audio games. It is also very convenient to replace these types of shafts. Use a shaft puller to clamp both ends of the shaft body, and shake it slightly to get off the base. In this way, it is convenient to replace the shaft, easy to clean, and easy to maintain. It is also a great pleasure to use hot-swappable keyboards. It's just that in the process of inserting and removing the keycaps, I found that the material of the keycaps is soft. If I use too much force, it will cause scratches on the keycaps, which is a pity. My favorite area of ​​this keyboard is the functional area similar to the dorsal fin on the upper right. I may not be used to it at first, but I can't live without it after a long time. It has five major functions, of which several details are worth talking about. The M key is the office/game mode switching key. Several key schemes can be stored in the Beitong driver, and you can switch between the default and custom modes according to your usage habits. Here I will talk about my personal commonly used settings, because I often press the ins key by mistake when typing, which will cause a series of troubles, so the first thing I did when I received the keyboard was to disable the ins key function. Then set the infrequently used keys on the keyboard to the functions that I frequently use to close the web page, create a new page, forward, back, and return to the desktop, so as to make full use of the advantages of the full-size keyboard. When playing games, I also press the fn+win key to lock the win key to avoid cutting out the screen. The V1 key is the switching key of the lighting mode. The keyboard supports 104-key Symphony RGB backlight and supports most of the lighting effects. You can control the brightness, frequency, etc. of the lighting in the driver. What I like the most is the light effect of "which one to light up", the light effect is shown in the picture. Through the V2 key, you can quickly switch between the light brightness and the volume control function, so that you can directly control the volume of the computer or the brightness of the keyboard through the scroll wheel on the right. This volume scroll wheel and the V3 mute key are my daily use and I like it very much. Function, it is really convenient to control the volume, the kind that you can't go back after getting used to it. Another good detail is that the three function display lights of "NCW" are the kind of faint white lights. On this silver-white keyboard, it doesn't look obtrusive even at night. Compared with the keyboard I used before, the function The lights in the area are too bright, so I won't turn on its keypad function at all. Summarize the evaluation. I have also used Rapoo’s previous mechanical keyboards, and I always feel that they are cost-effective, but the feel is ordinary. The Pennefather V700DIY mechanical keyboard I experienced this time is really amazing to me. The overall workmanship and design of the keyboard are very careful. The experience of switching from red switches to fast silver switches is better. The more you use it, the more you like it. From full-size customization The hot-swappable factory run shaft, and then the lighting effect, it can be said that there is almost no place for me to criticize, especially considering its price of about 200 yuan, it may be the most worthwhile mechanical keyboard for Rapoo at present.
