1. STEEL SERIES APEX PRO:

The first product on our list is the steel series apex pro the best full-size gaming keyboard we've tested is the steel series apex pro it feels very solid and durable and has good ergonomics thanks to its detachable rest and adjustable incline setting.

It has full RGB backlighting with individually backlit keys which is great to play in the dark it's also compatible with the steel series engine software giving you plenty of customization options it features linear omnipotent switches that let you set your preferred pre-travel distance which means you can choose a short pre-travel while playing.

To increase the responsiveness and then switch to a longer pre-travel to improve typing accuracy while working it also has a customizable OLED screen that lets you display almost anything you like and all of its keys are macro programmable unfortunately the included wrist rest collects dust quite rapidly which can be annoying.

The incline feet to open up vertically so they can involuntarily fold back if you move your keyboard forward that said this is the best full-sized gaming keyboard that we've tested it's full of gaming features that should satisfy both casual and competitive gamers. 

2. CORSAIR K100 RGB:

 The second product on our list is the corsair k100 RGB optical when you want to go the extra mile and upgrade to the absolute best of the best it's hard to find a more premium option than the corsair k100 RGB.

Be warned though this is a big keyboard its enormous footprint still requires some desk clearing before it can be nested comfortably feature-wise the k-100 RGB is got it all dedicated media controls and a USB passthrough a metal volume wheel RGB lighting.

Speaking of RGB there is an aggressive amount of RGB in this keyboard during our tests, we noted excellent key responses a decent spread of keys for most hand sizes a satisfying tactical click to each press and wonderfully dimpled keys to help you rest your fingers when you're not actually pressing down while this all seems quite obvious.

It shows that the k100 RGB nails the basics as well as including the fancy extras and that's why it's top of the list. 

3. HYPERX ALLOY ELITE RGB:

The third product on our list is the hyperx alloy elite RGB for a board that can be illuminated in up to 16.9 million colors the hyperx alloy elite sports a relatively simple aesthetic while still packing the features we expect out of a quality gaming keyboard.

It comes in your choice of Cherry MX brown blue and red what it lacks in a dedicated macro column it makes up for with its reasonable price and quality and durable design the hyperx alloy elite RGB leaves no feature box unchecked it's equipped with dedicated media controls USB passthrough detachable wrist rest and a full RGB backlighting.

It also includes an extra set of silver keycaps for was and the first four number keys to up its aesthetics the board supports full and key rollover meaning you never have to worry about keypresses not registering the new hyperx alloy elite 2 has now been launched featuring some gorgeous abs pudding keycaps but only seems to be available on hyperx website right now it is damn pretty but you don't get the wrist rest you win some you lose some. 

4. RAZER CYNOSA CHROMA:

 

The fourth product on our list is the razer Spinosa chroma if even mecha membrane keys don't suit you and you demand a full membrane typing or gaming experience.

The razer Sinosa is the deck for you I know there are people out there who prefer the soft embrace of a pure membrane switch and that's fine to each their own the sinosa has some of the best feelings low profile membrane keys I've ever tested and at a retail price of sixty dollars is one of the most affordable gaming keyboards out there.

Well past a certain threshold of quality while it may lack some of the features several gaming keyboards pack in these days stuff like a dedicated wrist rest or media controls it does boast razer's extensive RGB lighting which can be programmed on a per-key basis or applied by zones.

It's a solid no-frills nice looking keyboard that's the best membrane option of a huge range that I've tested there is a step-up version of the sinosa available still for an extra twenty dollars the only real addition is the underflow RGB so unless that kind of ground effects package is massively appealing to you I recommend you save your cash and invest in the base model. 

5. ARGENT K5 RGB:

The last contender in our list is the argent k5 RGB mechanical gaming keyboard the keyboard that ticks all the boxes and looks good doing it the argent k5 features premium grade aluminum faceplate construction and is specially designed with an asymmetrical curve to help ensure you can game or type in comfort for hours.
