At first, glance, choosing a gaming keyboard might seem like an easy task. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Every gamer needs a keyboard that not only suits their needs but also provides them with the right amount of features to suit their own style of gameplay. It’s not just about having all the keys you need or finding one that has RGB lighting and all the bells and whistles, it’s about finding a keyboard that is going to enhance your experience while you’re playing your games. Below are some factors to consider when choosing the best Razer keyboard for your needs.
- Cost
This is the most obvious, yet often overlooked factor by those looking for the best gaming keyboard. It’s a given that the more you spend on a keyboard the better quality you will receive. In terms of keyboards, this is most important when it comes to durability and frame. If you are planning on using your gaming keyboard in-game or while you are working, then it is imperative that you get something durable, especially if it costs more.
- Brand
Do you want to use the keyboard in your home, at work, or while traveling? Razer keyboards are designed to be used in all of these environments. Razer has a wide array of keyboards for different purposes, to suit the needs of everyone from gamers, programmers, or anyone looking for a productivity keyboard.
- Backlighting and Enhanced Features
Razer’s Gaming Keyboard has integrated Chroma back-lighting that allows for customizable light patterns and animations with 16 million colors. This is a feature that comes in handy when you’re gaming in the dark or even just working late at night.
- Mechanical Key Switches
Razer Gaming Keyboards have mechanical key switches that are specifically designed for gaming and require less force to actuate. When combined with anti-ghosting technology, you will get the ultimate gaming experience without any keys being missed during gameplay or typing.
- Connectivity
There are many different connectivity options available on Razer keyboards, depending on your environment and needs. The most popular of these include wireless connection, Bluetooth connectivity, and USB connectivity. The most common of these is the wireless option. This allows for a more mobile and flexible gaming experience but it does come at the cost of connection speed. However, it does allow for more freedom when gaming as you no longer have to worry about wires getting in the way of your gaming or navigating your work desk.
- Design
Design is undoubtedly the most important element of a keyboard. It is where you can really tell the difference between a computer keyboard and a gaming keyboard. With that in mind, Razer has different design options available, including compact, ergonomic, and angled designs. When looking at the different options available, it is important to look at how they can assist you while playing your games, while also looking at how they will enhance your experience when using other productivity programs.
- Number pad and media control buttons
The number pad button is a great addition to any gaming keyboard as it serves a dual purpose; being able to press the numbers 1-0, giving more control when needing to input characters in a game or document, and being able to change game settings depending on what platform you are playing on.
Conclusion
Choosing a gaming keyboard can be a difficult task as it requires you to decide on the features you need and what you plan on using your keyboard for. It is important to choose the right one for your needs and Razer is proud to provide gamers with a keyboard that allows them to play their games at peak performance while also allowing them to interact with their computers while they are away from home.
