The 6 best gaming keyboards for digital domination

You’ve built yourself a snazzy PC kitted out with all the latest hardware, but it won’t feel complete until you pick up a gaming keyboard to match.

If you’ve just coughed up hundreds of dollars on a top-of-the-line gaming rig, you might be tempted to skimp on the added peripherals, but you’d do well not to. For all the processing going on inside your PC, it’s the external hardware that you’ll be handling. Picking up a gaming keyboard can radically change the feel and function of your rig, and might even boost your multiplayer performance in the process.

With so many keebs (that’s the very cool slang word for keyboard) to pick from, and a whole bunch of jargon to read, wading through the RGB-laden world of gaming peripherals can feel like a slog. Pick the right keyboard, though, and your gaming and typing experience will feel anything but.

We've rounded up six of the top gaming keyboards on the market, so you can spend less time doing research, and more time actually gaming.
