Comparison of gaming keyboards
A good keyboard is an important prerequisite for a great gaming experience - we compare three gaming keyboards for you in this practical tip.
Gaming keyboard: Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013
The "BlackWidow" from Razer is not a very cheap variant at around 130 euros, but this mechanical keyboard is very well made. You can also program all buttons as you wish.
- The mechanical keys on the BlackWidow give you a good typing experience. The response time is also very short, which is particularly important for games.
- The keyboard offers you five macro keys. In addition, all other keys can also be assigned as desired. The only disadvantage: you need the cloud software "Razer Synapse 2.0".
- Pretty: The buttons can be illuminated in green in different brightness levels. This is particularly helpful in low light.
With display: Logitech G19
Logitech's G19 is also a high-end keyboard. For just under 140 euros you have to put something in your wallet. You will receive a well-made keyboard with twelve macro keys.
- You can program the G-keys of the Logitech keyboard as you like. You can play macros or start programs.
- The G19 also has a display. Here you can see information about your game, for example life points or remaining ammunition.
- The keyboard can be illuminated in different colors. For example, you can assign a color to individual profiles. So you always know which profile is currently active.
- The further development of the G19s differs only in color and a rubberized palm rest - but costs around 10 euros more in the basic price.
The cheapest: Skiller Gaming
Last but not least, we present the "Skiller Gaming" from Sharkoon. At around 13 euros, it is by far the cheapest keyboard in comparison.
- With the multimedia buttons of Skiller Gaming you always have access to the sound of your computer.
- You will also receive software for the keyboard with which you can assign different keys to all keys.
- The processing is not quite as good as with the other keyboards, but this keyboard is very suitable for beginners.
The extravagant: Razer Nostromo
- Insider tip: The Razer Nostromo Gaming Pad is a slightly different type of keyboard.
- This keyboard is a bit minimalistic, but offers everything you need as a gamer of MMOs, strategy games or shooters.
If you only need a mouse for the perfect gaming setup, then you should take a look at this practical tip.
