What gaming keyboard can you recommend?

I just use the keyboard from my laptop, works fine enough..

But I know logitech always worked good, at least in the past when I used to build my own rigs..

For us to help you better...
what switch do you want? tactile? tactile clicky? linear?
Do you also need a Full Keyboard or are you open to Tenkeyless options?
Do you require LED or open for non-led options?
Are you also planning on changing the keycaps? so we can recommend standard layout keyboards.

I think gaming mouse > gaming keyboard, keyboard keys are usually so close eachother and in a weird places not very accesible for the normal hands position

sorry to hear you had problems with razor gear
i own a blackwidow keyboard and im actually pretty satisfied with it.
otherwhise i would say steelseries is a decent company. friends told be they have some great gear.

I was on gamescom 2015 and pretty much the most widely used keyboard was the Logitech 710+

When I got back from Germany I bought one myself because the design and feel is great. Imo it's a good buy.

I picked Cherry 1000, because of the upgrade potential

View attached image.

I choose the corsair strafe with cherry mx blue cus eargasm but if you're interesed in fps games pick red because of the travel distance and the action force

I have the G710+ and can recommend it. There are some stories however about the keycaps not being strong enough and breaking/coming loose. Hasn't happened to me in almost two years of use, but maybe you should keep that in mind. Also, the layout isn't a standard one, so you basically can't replace some keycaps. All in all, I find it to be a great keyboard, and it has served me well so far. If you have any questions I could help you with, just let me know.

i've contacted logitech support a half year ago because my G15 had problems with the LED's. just asked if they can send me some of the LED lights so i can fix this on myself. (the keyboard is more than 10 years old) but they wanted me to send the keyboard to them. after that i got a totally new G15 keyboard for free... awesome logitech support. maybe you should buy a used one via ebay for 20 bucks, and ask logitech if they can fix the lights ^^ :D

(Edit: just forgot, i would suggest any logitech keyboard because of the quality and awesome support)

I use a Corsair K70 with Cherry Red switches.
This thing is solid. You could probably type a paper, then defend your home with it.
After using this, my old Logitech G15 feels like a child's toy

I'm still using a Logitech G15 version 2 and lucky me that I have 2 of them in reserve! ^^

I'm using a Razer Chroma BlackWidow with the clicky green switches, it's fantastic, the best keyboard I've ever owned.

Personally I'm using a Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 5 (along with a R.A.T.7 mouse) and have had no issues at all with it (them ;) ) with one exception; I have to plug in a second keyboard if I want to get into my CMOS for any reason (probably something in my CMOS USB settings I need to change, but cba to find out).

I have a friend that knows a LOT about computers. and he FIRMLY reccomends you spend the money and get the Corsair. Stay away from the Logitech keyboards as they have a short life span these days.

I put Logitech and Razor in the same category. The bin.

Corsair and SteelSeries ftw.

I tested many different mechanical keyboards and I ended up getting Razer's BlackWidow Ultimate Stealth.
No complaints after using this one over 6 months now.

voted for corsair, all my logitech crap died so fast...

I'm using a G710+ for just over a year now and am very happy with it but I actually wanted the ducky shine but I was impatient and went for the one that was available and I need cherry brown!

Still, can't go wrong with the G710 (although g610 looks nice as well) but I recommend ducky all the way.

Logitech K260 wut wut.

I've got a maxKeyboard nighthawk x7 and love it. fairly inexpensive for a mech and has nice led backlighting. Nothing too fancy but still great quality.

I recently acquired a Corsair Strafe mech keyboard to replace my dying Gigabyte K7. Cost me around 100 euro. So far it works great. It takes some time to get used to the keys since they're very easy to press and you don't even have to press them all the way down to register the stroke.
It's pretty basic (no additional macro keys or anything) but does the job flawlessly.

I have found that Cherry MX Brown switches are very close to the sound and feel of the Logitech G15 series so if you know what they are like and like them, thats something to look into.

Logitech G710 with the cherry mx brown switches is what I am looking at right now but pretty sure I would be happy with any cherry mx brown switches.

Pretty unhappy with my G510s. Coating on the S and D key have worn off and the button to cycle the LCD needs to be pushed really hard. I also have no need for 18 macros keys. Next Keyboard will most likely be corsair.

Thanks to all of your for your input! I will order a Logitech G710 and a Corsair Strafe and will return the one I'm less satisfied with.
