Here are my top choices for a new gaming keyboard to grab during the Amazon Spring Sale.

I’ve never trusted anyone who says their keyboard is “just fine.” If your spacebar sounds like a rusty stapler and your RGB barely flickers, it’s time to stop pretending. You deserve better. The Amazon Spring Sale is stacked with gaming keyboards that actually keep up with your reflexes and don’t sound like you’re punching a calculator from 1994.

I’ve picked out some of the best deals below, and honestly, I want all of them. Hall Effect switches? Yes, please. Per-key actuation? Of course. A keyboard that doesn’t squeal when you type? Revolutionary. Let’s get into the goods.

I think this is the sweet spot for people who want pro-level speed without turning their desk into a runway light show. The K70 PRO TKL has Corsair’s magnetic MGX switches with customizable actuation on every single key, plus Rapid Trigger for ridiculous response times. It’s also tenkeyless, which gives me more room to fling my mouse during a rage-fueled Overwatch match. Absolute win.

This one’s for keyboard switch snobs who like their keystrokes smoother than a fresh jar of peanut butter. In my opinion, Razer’s Gen-2 Linear Optical switches are some of the best feeling out there, and the included wrist rest actually makes marathon sessions tolerable. You also get a multi-function media dial, because obviously your volume knob should glow like a sci-fi reactor core.

This is the board I’d buy if I wanted my keyboard to feel like it came from Tony Stark’s desk. The K70 MAX gives you fully adjustable MGX switches and lets you assign two actions to one key. That means I can jump and reload at the same time, which is perfect for impressing absolutely no one except myself. Also, the thock is real. Corsair even layered in sound dampening so you don’t sound like a mechanical woodpecker.

If you’re short on space but still demand a ridiculous amount of tech under your fingers, I can’t recommend this enough. The Apex Pro Mini Wireless packs per-key actuation that goes down to 0.1mm. That’s absurd. You can also assign two actions to one key, switch between Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless, and pretend you’re a minimalist while secretly running a command center.

This is what I grab when I want a board that works hard, looks sharp, and doesn’t try too hard. The ROG Scope RX gives me tri-mode connectivity, solid optical switches, and actual PBT doubleshot keycaps instead of those slippery budget ones that shine after a week. The magnetic wrist rest is a nice touch, and the “Stealth Key” is perfect for closing five tabs and muting my shame at the same time.
