Why a gaming keyboard matters

A good gaming keyboard isn’t just a tool—it’s a total game-changer. 

From lightning-fast response times to the satisfying feel of mechanical switches, a proper gaming keyboard can sharpen your reflexes, improve your comfort, and take your performance to the next level. 

It’s not about flashy lights for the sake of it; it’s about precision, durability, and gear that keeps up when the pressure’s on.

Gaming keyboards are built to handle intense use, rapid keystrokes, and complex in-game commands. 

Standard office keyboards just don’t cut it when you’re dodging bullets, executing perfect combos, or micro-managing an army in real-time strategy games. 

A gaming keyboard gives you that edge—on every level.

Find the right gaming keyboard for you

Choosing the right gaming keyboard comes down to three main things: layout, switch type, and features.

Layout: Do you want a compact 60% board, a space-saving tenkeyless model, or a full-sized keyboard with all the extras?

Switch type: Prefer quiet keys or satisfying clicks? You’ll want to choose between linear, tactile, or clicky mechanical switches.

Features: Do you need custom macros, RGB profiles, or software support? Or are you more focused on pure performance and build quality?

Once you’ve figured out your must-haves, we can help match you with a keyboard that hits every mark.

Gaming keyboard frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a gaming keyboard and a regular keyboard?

Gaming keyboards are built for speed, durability, and precision. They often come with mechanical switches, customisable lighting, programmable keys, and faster response times than standard office keyboards.

Are mechanical switches really better for gaming?

Most gamers prefer mechanical switches because they offer more tactile feedback and quicker actuation. They also last longer—often rated for tens of millions of key presses—making them a solid investment for heavy use.

What’s the deal with RGB lighting on gaming keyboards?

RGB lighting isn’t just about looks (though it does look awesome). You can customise lighting to highlight key bindings for specific games, which helps with visibility and reaction time during intense gameplay.

Do I need a wired or wireless gaming keyboard?

Wired keyboards are still preferred for competitive gaming because of their zero-lag input. That said, many modern wireless gaming keyboards offer excellent performance and flexibility, especially for casual gaming or clutter-free setups.

Are gaming keyboards compatible with consoles like PS5 or Xbox?

Some gaming keyboards do work with consoles, especially for games that support keyboard input. But always double-check compatibility with your specific console model before buying.

What are macro keys and why do gamers use them?

Macro keys are extra buttons you can program to perform complex commands or sequences with a single press. They’re especially useful in MMOs or strategy games where quick access to combos gives you a tactical edge.

How important is keyboard size for gaming?

It depends on your preference. Full-size keyboards have a number pad, while tenkeyless or 60% keyboards save space and are easier to transport. Smaller boards are popular with FPS players who want more mouse room.

Can I use a gaming keyboard for typing too?

Absolutely. In fact, many people love mechanical gaming keyboards for typing because of the satisfying tactile feedback. Just be aware some switch types can be loud if you’re in a shared space.

How do I choose the right switch type?

That comes down to feel. Red switches are smooth and fast (great for FPS), blue switches are clicky and tactile (good for typing), and brown switches offer a middle ground. Try a few out if you can.

Are all gaming keyboards backlit?

Not all, but most modern gaming keyboards come with at least some form of backlighting. RGB backlighting is the most customisable, letting you create effects or highlight specific zones for different games.
