How to choose a gaming keyboard on Black Friday

While you can just head straight to our roundup of the best gaming keyboards and go from there, it’s useful to know exactly what you’re looking for. One key thing is how committed you are to having the best gaming hardware. Are you looking for esports or pro streaming level of tech? In that case, budget to spend in the $100-$150 mark and possibly more than that. However, if you’re more casual and an occasional gamer, this will be overkill. Aim to spend under $100 with $50 being the sweet spot during sales.

Look for if you need a full-size keyboard or if a smaller build without the numeric keypad (like many laptops) will suffice. Two different types of switch are also available: mechanical and linear. Mechanical keys are louder and more expensive, but feel great and are highly responsive. Linear may suit your budget better or your situation if you need something quiet. Finally, check for an ergonomic design that works best for your joints and how your desk is laid out.
