best keyboard for gaming



hard question... what kind of gaming? Do you want many macro keys? If yes, i could recommend the Microsoft Sidewinder X6. This keyboard has over 80 macro keys if i remember well

Tactx or Razer Black Widow. Both have pros and cons.

Do you even need that many macro keys? >.>

Before you can truly understand someone else, you must first fully understand yourself.

Steelseries Shift. Based on the old Ideazon Zboard design where the base keyboard uses replaceable keysets and have built in macros depending on the game. They even sometimes have a kick-ass graphic that corresponds to the game you are playing. Each World of Warcraft expansion had a different keyset and I bought every single one. As long as Steelseries continues producing keysets, the upgradability is endless. Customizable macros as well!

Razer BlackWidow Ultimate. The mechanical keys provide great feedback, so playing shooters is fantastic since every move feels incredibly responsive. It's also a relatively small form factor, so it's easy to take to a LAN, or work with on a small desk.
