Keyboards

Mechanical and Hall-effect keyboards for gaming and typing - compact 60-65% and 75% layouts, full-size boards, wired and wireless, from budget builds to full-aluminium flagships. Every board is chosen for switch quality, build and value, and most are hot-swappable so you can retune the feel over time.

Buying guide

Choosing a mechanical keyboard

The right board comes down to three questions: how big, how it feels, and how it connects. Layout decides desk space — 60–65% boards drop the numpad for a tighter mouse arc that FPS players love, while 75% keeps arrows and a function row for work.

Switches

Linear (Red) is smooth for gaming; tactile (Brown) gives a gentle bump for typing; clicky (Blue) is loud and satisfying. Most of our boards are hot-swappable, so you can change the feel later without soldering.

Key terms, explained
Hall-effect (magnetic) switch
A switch that reads the key position magnetically with a Hall sensor instead of a metal contact - nothing wears out, the actuation depth is adjustable, and rapid trigger becomes possible.
Rapid trigger
A magnetic-switch feature that registers a press the instant the key moves down and resets the instant it moves up, so fast repeats and counter-strafes fire without waiting for a fixed reset point.
Actuation point
The depth at which a keypress registers. On magnetic boards it is adjustable, often 0.1 to 4.0mm - shallow for fast gaming input, deeper to avoid mistypes.
Hot-swap
Sockets that let you change switches by hand with no soldering, so you can retune the feel or repair a switch yourself.
Layout (60 / 65 / 75 / TKL)
How many keys the board keeps. 60% drops arrows and the function row for desk space, 65% adds arrows, 75% adds a function row, and TKL keeps everything except the numpad.
Polling rate
How often the keyboard reports to the PC, in Hz. 1000Hz reports every 1ms and 8000Hz every 0.125ms, for lower and steadier input latency.
Gasket mount
A build style that suspends the plate on soft gaskets inside the case, giving a cushioned, quieter keystroke that plate-mounted boards cannot match.
PBT and ABS keycaps
The two common keycap plastics. PBT resists the shine that develops where fingers rub and has a drier, more textured feel. ABS is smoother and takes sharper legends but polishes to a gloss over time.
Stabilisers
The wire-and-housing mechanism under long keys such as space, shift and enter, which stops them rocking. Badly tuned stabilisers rattle, and they are the usual source of the cheap noise on an otherwise good board.
N-key rollover
The ability to register every key you press simultaneously, however many that is. It is what prevents dropped inputs when you hold several keys at once, and anti-ghosting is the same idea described from the other direction.
South-facing RGB
LEDs positioned at the bottom of the switch housing rather than the top. It matters because north-facing LEDs can foul the tighter keycap profiles, so south-facing avoids interference when you change keycaps.
Foam and tape mods
Layers added inside the case, or tape on the underside of the circuit board, to remove hollowness and deepen the sound. The cheapest way to change how a keyboard sounds without replacing a single component.
FAQ
What size keyboard is best for gaming?

For FPS, a 60–65% board frees desk space for wide, low-sensitivity mouse movement. For mixed use, 75% keeps arrow keys without going full-size.

What does hot-swappable mean?

You can pull and replace switches by hand — no soldering — to change the typing feel or fix a faulty switch.

Is a wireless keyboard good for competitive play?

Modern 2.4GHz wireless is effectively latency-free. Tri-mode boards also offer a wired mode for zero-compromise ranked sessions.

What is rapid trigger, and do I need it?

Rapid trigger resets a magnetic switch the instant the key starts moving back up, instead of waiting until it passes a fixed reset point. In practice it lets you repeat a key far faster, which matters for counter-strafing in shooters and for rhythm games. Outside those, it changes very little - if you mostly type, it is not a reason to buy.

Are Hall-effect keyboards better than mechanical ones?

They are better at specific things rather than better overall. A magnetic switch has no physical contact to wear out, and it can report how far a key has travelled, which is what makes rapid trigger and adjustable actuation possible. Traditional mechanical switches offer far more variety in feel and sound, and tactile or clicky options that magnetic switches largely cannot match.

What is the difference between linear, tactile and clicky switches?

A linear switch travels smoothly with no bump, which most players prefer for gaming. A tactile switch has a noticeable bump partway down that tells your finger the key has registered, which many people prefer for typing. A clicky switch adds a loud, deliberate click to that bump - satisfying alone, and unwelcome in a shared room or on a call.

How do I make my keyboard quieter?

In order of effort: swap to quieter keycaps, add a foam layer or tape mod inside the case to remove hollowness, then tune the stabilisers on the long keys, which are usually the loudest part. A gasket-mounted board is quieter to begin with because the plate is isolated from the case. Lubricating switches helps but is a slow job.

What is gasket mount and does it actually matter?

The switch plate is suspended on soft gaskets instead of being screwed hard to the case, so the typing surface flexes very slightly and the sound is softer and lower. It is a genuine difference in feel rather than marketing, but it is a comfort and acoustics preference - it will not make you faster.

Do I need 8000Hz polling on a keyboard?

Almost certainly not. At 1000Hz the keyboard already reports every millisecond, which is faster than a 240Hz monitor can display. Higher rates shave a fraction off input delay and increase CPU load. Treat it as a specification you happen to have rather than one to pay extra for.

Can I use these keyboards with a Mac?

Yes. They work as standard USB or Bluetooth keyboards on macOS, though the modifier keys sit in Windows positions, so Command and Option land where you may not expect. Many boards ship with a Mac layout toggle and replacement keycaps, and macOS can also remap modifiers in system settings.

Which keycap material should I choose?

PBT if you dislike shiny keys - it resists the polish that develops where your fingers land and feels drier and more textured. ABS if you prefer a smoother surface and crisper legends, accepting that it will gloss over time. If you plan to change keycaps, check the board has south-facing LEDs so they do not foul tighter profiles.

What is adjustable actuation, and what should I set it to?

On a magnetic keyboard you choose how far a key must travel before it registers, often anywhere from around 0.1mm to 3.5mm. A short setting reacts faster but produces accidental presses when your fingers rest on the keys. A useful approach is a short actuation on the movement keys and a longer one everywhere else, which most bundled software allows per key.
