Gaming keyboards are an important part and parcel of any desktop/laptop gaming setup. 

Owning a high-quality gaming keyboard makes significant changes in the gameplay experience. These days, hardcore gamers often consider a gaming keyboard as important as the processor or the GPU inside.

The most common type of gaming keyboards are mechanical and membrane keyboards. 

Mechanical keyboards have physical switches on them while membrane keyboards have a membrane sheet placed between the keys and the circuit and function similar to a standard television remote. 

Mechanical keyboards are the gold standard for gaming but people use membrane-type keyboards as well due to their affordability.

BUYING GUIDE FOR GAMING KEYBOARD IN INDIA

A gaming keyboard is a must-have for professional PC gamers and those who want to get the most out of their gaming setup. Gaming keyboards are specially designed to provide a competitive edge over standard keyboards.

The highly saturated Indian market is loaded with a wide range of gaming keyboards and everyone doesn’t need to know which particular product to spend their hard-earned money on. 

This is why we have made a short and concise buying guide that will touch upon a few important points that will help you understand the basics of purchasing a gaming keyboard.

Build

Build quality is an important factor when choosing a gaming keyboard. Gaming keyboards come with three types of builds – plastic, metallic build and a mixture of both. The most common build found in gaming keyboards is a combination of both metal and plastic. 

Metal is used in gaming keyboards because of its premium feel while plastic is used because of its affordability and durable nature.

The metal used in gaming keyboard construction is usually aluminium and it forms the frame of the keyboard or the top panel. 

We recommend going for a keyboard that has a mixture of both aluminium and plastic since you get both a durable and premium feeling gaming keyboard.

But if you would like to save some extra cash you could always opt for a cheaper all-plastic gaming keyboard. 

Mechanical and Membrane 

Mechanical keyboards are those which have a spring mechanism in them and every key has its switch.

While membrane keyboards don’t have actual switches in them and instead have a thin membrane layer below which lies a circuit that registers the key which is pressed. 

Mechanical keyboards have always been leagues ahead when compared to a membrane keyboard because of the tactile feel which one receives when using a mechanical keyboard. 

But of late, membrane keyboards have reached a point where they try to imitate mechanical keyboards. Although they aren’t as tactile as a mechanical keyboard, they have come quite far in terms of the feel. 

But the issue with the mechanical keyboard is that they are much more expensive when compared to a membrane keyboard. If one wants to purchase a good mechanical keyboard then he would have to spend quite a lot.

Features 

There is a wide range of features that you can find in a gaming keyboard, but there are certain features that truly enhance your gaming experience. 

Anti-ghosting and Windows lock are some of the basic features which set apart a gaming keyboard from a standard keyboard. 

Some additional features you can find in a gaming keyboard include splash resistance, dedicated media controls, USB pass-through, etc. 

So always make sure you go through the feature set of the gaming keyboards to know what are the features that you require. 

Lighting

Gaming keyboards are known for having flash LED lighting on them which make them stand out from your standard keyboards.

Although LED lighting is not a necessity when it comes to gaming keyboards since they don’t provide any important benefit other than visibility in the dark but if you are an avid gamer you would already know the key locations. 

LED lighting should not be much of a concern when it comes to gaming keyboards since even if you don’t like them usually all keyboards have the option to turn the lights off. 

Types of Keys

Types of keys are an important thing to consider when purchasing a mechanical gaming keyboard. The mechanical keyboards have various switches which are used in them that are of different colours and from different companies.

The common mechanical switches you would find are Gateron, Outemu switches, Cherry MX and Romer G. Cherry MX switches are considered the best type of switches while Romer G switches are found in Logitech’s mechanical keyboards and Outemu switches are a cheaper alternative found in most budget mechanical keyboards.

The colours of the switches are another important thing you should know about. Switches come in Blue, Silver, Red, Orange, Brown etc. Each switch has its unique characteristic.

For example, Blue switches are known to be tactile and clicky sounding switches while Red switches are known for speed. 

So depending on what your preference is you should check out the switches which suit your play style.

We hope that you go through all the above-mentioned points before purchasing a gaming keyboard since it is a factor that will decide your gaming experience.

If you have any other queries regarding choosing a gaming keyboard do feel free to comment down below and we will get back to you.
