Best gaming keyboard 2018

What is the best gaming keyboard? Well, that all comes down to exactly what you're looking for. Whether that's a full-size or compact board, membrane or mech switch, full RGB or just simple single-colour backlit, we’ve rigorously tested each and every gaming keyboard that has crossed our desks to help you make a decision. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to spend all day gaming hard just to test them out… We’ve picked the best Logitech, Corsair, and Razer keyboards, as well a host of options from established, and some up-and-coming, manufacturers, to help you choose the perfect gaming keyboard for your setup. The humble keyboard is an intrinsic part of the PC gaming experience, it's even set to become part of the console experience too, with Microsoft repeatedly claiming official support is coming to Xbox One and One X. Despite that support still remaining resolutely unofficial, coming via third-party adapters, right now... Together with a gaming mouse the keyboard forms the perfect peripheral partnership, one that offers us PC peeps the most accurate and most immediate control system of any gaming machine out there. It doesn't matter whether you're rocking even the best controller, anyone playing FPS games on their PC is going to need the level of control you can only get with the classic ol’ WASD/mouse combo.
