A decent gaming keyboard is very important if you want to take your experience to the next level. It is the interface between your lightning fast reactions and the game you are playing and when you develop your skills it could mean the difference between winning or losing. Here’s our top 3 picks of the best gaming keyboards available, plus a budget conscious choice thrown in for good measure.
In at number one is the Razer BlackWidow Elite. This is a mechanical gaming keyboard, so has a very tactile response. It features Razer Green Switches and is RGB Chroma Illuminated, so will look stunning on your desk. It also has fully programmable Macro Keys. For quick access to some of the features on your computer it also sports Multi-Function Digital Dial with dedicated media controls.

The number two spot goes to the ROCCAT Vulcan 120 and this also features mechanical switches. It has different styling to the Razer and features AIMO LED Per-Key lighting and in my opinion looks stunning. The ROCCAT Titan switches are very accurate and great to use during gameplay. The quality is here too with a durable design and aluminium top plate. This keyboard also features a multimedia wheel and detachable wrist rest which works via magnetic mechanism and helps with ergonomics.

In third place is a keyboard that should not be dismissed. The Logitech G613 Wireless Gaming Keyboard features Lightspeed Wireless technology which is more responsive and faster than most wired gaming keyboards. The Romer G mechanical switches deliver a quiet, precise mechanical performance. The short-throw actuation at 1.5 mm is 25% faster than the competition's standard key travel.
The G613 is nice and configurable too, with six programmable keys that can be assigned commands per profile and have been positioned for optimal speed and accessibility. Logitech certainly make some great gaming peripherals and claim that the G613 is the world's first high performance wireless mechanical gaming keyboard, designed for a wireless world.

Last but not least is our more affordable wildcard and still a great performer. The Logitech G213 Prodigy Gaming Keyboard allows you to personalise five individual lighting zones from a spectrum of over 16.8 million colours, so will look great whilst performing admirably. It has a slim body that is built for gamers of all levels with a durable construction that repels liquids, crumbs and dirt. The anti-ghosting gaming matrix on this keyboard is tuned for optimal gaming performance, keeping you in control when you press multiple keys simultaneously. It also features dedicated media controls that can be used to play, pause and mute music and videos instantly.
