If there is a computer in the house, it does not matter if you work on it or just relax playing games and social networks. Buying a keyboard, I want to get the best.

Now there are many models with different bells and whistles, useful and useless functions. Below we will try to understand the full variety of products offered and the benefits of the latest functional improvements.

Keyboard Types

To understand what exactly we choose, you need to know at least the basic types of devices. In this case, there are two of the most common - membrane and mechanical.

Membrane Mechanical
+ inexpensive - the service life is less than that of mechanical + comfortable - high cost
+ perfectly protected from dust and moisture - there is no "proprietary" mechanical response + nice key travel - absolute insecurity from external influences (dust, moisture and others)
+ flexible devices are created on its basis + clear response
+ push force adjustable
+ durability of mechanical switches

Mechanical keyboards are rightfully recognized as the best in the world. Thanks to the highest accuracy, such a device is indispensable for gamers. Having tried it in work once, it is already very difficult to refuse it.

Backlit keyboards: useful or just beautiful?

It has long been fashionable - a bright keyboard with backlit keys. Do you need her? If you work or play in the dark (for example, when everyone sleeps at night) or in dim lighting, then you need it.

So this device not only looks aesthetically pleasing, but also beneficial.

2nd place ranking is COUGAR 200K Black USB.

A rare model is the scissor keyboard. Will work great with a laptop. Lovers of classics and mechanics will like it - the classic case in combination with the scissor mechanism (the closest tactile to the mechanical type). 104 keys and backlight (7 colors to choose from).

Another of its advantages can be considered a coating - fingerprints do not remain on it.

In general, a good model for the money - 2,600 rubles. Perhaps its only drawback is that at first double clicks are possible. This is due to the feature of the mechanism.

The A4Tech X7-G300 Black PS / 2 is recognized as the best in its price segment.

The cost of the model is about 1,000 rubles. For this amount you get:

  • digital block;
  • the ability to turn the gaming keyboard into a regular one in a couple of minutes, replacing the buttons with the ones that come with the kit;
  • a device that is not afraid of moisture.

But there are a couple of minuses:

  • lack of backlight (although for such money its presence would be strange);
  • To connect to a laptop, you must separately purchase an adapter.

Perhaps someone will not consider this a big problem.

If you prefer to purchase a mechanical keyboard, then the following rating is for you.

A pair of the best mechanical keyboards

One of the best models of mechanics - SteelSeries 6Gv2 Black USB + PS / 2.

High-quality and durable keyboard that gamers will certainly enjoy.

And another leader - Logitech G910 Orion Spark Black USB.

Among the top-end keyboards, this one is endowed with the best functionality in its price segment.

Useful  How, knowing the main characteristics of the keyboard, choose the best model?

Thanks to the installed ROMER-G switch, the device works quickly and gives an excellent response. The backlight color can be chosen from 16 million available.

104 standard and 21 additional keys are installed, on which you can record macros (maximum 27). In general, this is perhaps the coolest mechanical keyboard for such a price.

But unfortunately, the model does not have a USB port and textile cable sheath, which is completely unforgivable at this price (11,000 rubles).
