I review some of the best gaming keyboards money can buy for a living, and it’s far too common that attaching the adjective “gaming” to a keyboard is an excuse to raise the price while adding very little in the way of actual performance features. I love RGB lighting as much as the next person, but come on!

I’m the type of person who gets a little too angry with myself if I can’t hold a shot in “Counter Strike 2”, or if I get robbed of the perfect colony in “Stellaris”, and I am really I hate to blame my equipment. However, my keyboard often does too little to give me any advantage.
