I'm in the market for a new mechanical keyboard primarily for gaming. With so many options available, I'm finding it challenging to decide. Which mechanical keyboard do you suggest?

For gaming, the NuPhy Field75 HE is a top contender. If you're on a budget, consider options without RGB or a USB receiver.

Don't fall for marketing hype! Any decent mechanical keyboard will work fine for gaming. The most important factors are: 1) switch type that feels good to YOU (try before you buy if possible), 2) build quality, and 3) polling rate (1000Hz is standard now). I game competitively with a budget Keychron K8 and perform just as well as friends with their $200+ "gaming" keyboards.

After trying several keyboards, I settled on the SteelSeries Apex Pro. The adjustable actuation is a game-changer - I can set shallow actuation for gaming and deeper actuation for typing. The magnetic switches feel incredible and should last forever. However, it's definitely on the expensive side, so consider if those features matter to you.

Logitech Mechanical Keyboards are recommended.

The Logitech G915 with its low-profile switches gives me the speed of a mechanical with the comfort of a laptop keyboard, and the wireless latency is imperceptible (1ms response time). Battery lasts about a week with RGB on. Expensive but worth every penny if you hate cable management.

Suggest the Redragon K552. https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K552-Mechanical-Keyboard-Equivalent/dp/B016MAK38U?tag=7649-20

There's no single "best" gaming keyboard - it depends on several factors:
- Switch type (linear like Cherry MX Reds for speed, tactile like Browns for typing+gaming, or clicky like Blues)
- Form factor (full-size, TKL, 60%, etc.)
- Extra features (RGB, macros, media keys)
- Budget
Personally, I recommend the Ducky One 3 for quality at a budget price. What's your budget range?

Honestly, it depends on what games you play. For MOBAs and MMOs where you need lots of macros, the Corsair K100 with its extra macro wheel and dedicated G-keys is fantastic. For FPS games, I prefer something minimal like the Ducky One 3 with Cherry MX Speed switches. Consider your gaming style before dropping cash on the "best" keyboard.

I've been using the Razer Huntsman Elite for about 2 years now and it's been fantastic for gaming. The optical switches have virtually zero input lag and the actuation is incredibly responsive. If you're mainly into FPS games where reaction time matters, I'd highly recommend linear optical switches. Just be prepared for the price tag - quality doesn't come cheap!
