20 Best Keyboard For Typing Fast (2023 Updated)

First and foremost, the keyboard is awesome. I have been a lifelong mechanical keyboard user and recently had to switch something that was less “clicky” and also allowed me to switch between multiple machines.

To that end the MX Keys has been a great move for me. I also purchased the MX Master 3 mouse because of the need to move between multiple machines. These are both high quality items. My biggest problem with this setup is that there is no way to pair the mouse and keyboard together so that they switch from machine to machine together.

What this means is that if I need to switch from “Machine 1” to “Machine 2” I have to push the “Machine 2” button on the keyboard and select “Machine 2” on the mouse separately. I have read some articles that say this behavior can be achieved with the Logitech Flow application, but I don’t have the ability to install that software on all machines so it won’t work.

This is becoming a big enough hassle for me that I am considering buying a USB Switch and going back to a wired setup. All and all if you can deal with the issue pointed out above (or it isn’t something you are concerned about / doesn’t apply to you) then this is a great purchase.

I love this keyboard! The Dell KB212 I use it at work and have become accustomed to it. With covid19 occurring and site shutdown I cant go get that particular keyboard from my office. The keyboard that came with the work from home package isn’t manageable for me.

I tried the cheap way by just getting another keyboard and I should’ve just foot the bill and got what I truly needed from the beginning. The keyboard is slim and lightweight. Soft quiet keys. Excellent input/recognition.

Love this keyboard.

The keyboard looks nice and has a nice design. However, after a few years of use, the most used keys loose their responsiveness meaning you have to hit the keys harder to get them to register. The letters don’t wear off easily which is good.

Overall it’s a good keyboard however, if your keyboard sees heavy use, don’t expect it to last more than about 4 years. The Logitech K120 is a better keyboard in my opinion.

This is my go-to keyboard. I’m frugal, but I can’t tolerate an improperly designed keyboard. This keyboard hits the sweet spot for me in terms of good layout, low-cost, and nice tactile feedback. I can *feel* when I have typed words correctly, which gives me confidence to type faster.

Thanks, Dell, keep making good & inexpensive keyboards so I can continue smashing them when I get pissed off and replace with minimal $.

I use the G80-3000N for typing and gaming, both activities this keyboard excels at. It’s quiet enough to use late at night. The backlights are sharp and bright, with the added bonus of the CHERRY software (available from Cherry’s website) I was able to costumise the light colours to my taste.

The housing is sturdy and compact which is a bonus cause of my tiny desk. I decided to get this keyboard from SCAN because they have it at a price I was happy to pay for. Delivery was very quick to my chosen shop.

Has a really nice layout with the cherry profile keycaps good front height and I like the front ledge to rest my thumb on while gaming. very comfortable. The silent red switch are good but a little pingy.

Looking for an actual Silent mechanical keyboard? This is your fella. It dosent have that clicky feedback cuz its… well… silent.

This keyboard came at no additional charge with my last Dell XPS 4 years ago. When it stopped working recently, I ordered another to replace it. It was a pleasant surprise the same model was still in stock.

I used an older Dell keyboard I had sitting around while waiting for the replacement to arrive, and wasn’t used to the feel of it anymore. I’d come to like the firmer touch of this keyboard and the compact size, without the palm rest of the older model.

While I’m not thrilled that it died after 4 years, it’s not like losing a $100 gaming keyboard. It’s only about $20. It’s a keyboard. It works. And if not for the pandemic and supply chain problems affecting graphics cards, I’d have bought a new XPS 2 years ago and never known the keyboard didn’t last forever.

It seems to be decent quality, but nowhere near as nice as my older Dell multimedia keyboard. It is smaller than I expected, and the keys are a little too close together for those with large hands and long fingers.

The palm rest does not fit well, due to lack of support in the middle. On older models, there is a tab in the middle of the palm rest that attaches to the keyboard. This one only has a small rubber support.

It causes the palm rest to sag in the middle, which is disappointing, especially considering how expensive it is. If I had to make the purchasing decision over again, I would go with another brand.

I received my Dell Multimedia Keyboard-KB216 in a timely manner from Dell. It was fully compatible with my Dell XPS PC. It’s sleek design fits perfectly on my desk and its ergonomic angle supports my wrists excellently! The layout meets all of my needs with the FN keys combining other functions that allows it to be compact yet useful.

The smooth keystroke action allows me to type with confidence and feels great when typing. I would recommend this keyboard for anyone looking to upgrade or replace their current older model as I did!.

Picture this. You’re on vacation. You didn’t expect to be doing anything important, so you didn’t bring a laptop, only a 10-inch Android tablet for entertainment. And then you find yourself tasked with making a spreadsheet that needs to be done before you get home.

That’s the position I found myself in. And this keyboard did precisely what I needed, and it did it well. I have two complaints: 1. This is minor, but the slot to put your tablet or phone is hideous; what were they thinking with that color? 2.

This one is a bit bigger. I had to try several times to sync the keyboard to my tablet. I don’t really have any way of knowing which device is at fault here, but the keyboard really could’ve provided better feedback as to why it failed.

Was it a timeout? Did I type the code wrong? You’ve got an LED, use it for flashing error codes so we know what needs fixed. Still, after about seven or eight tries I was able to sync it, and it’s been great ever since.

A bluetooth keyboard is a must-have for tablet owners, and as long as you don’t need it integrated into the case, this one is a pretty good choice.

I’ve had great luck with a number of Logitech products ever since I spent some time chatting with its two young co-founders at their card table-sized “booth” in a huge computer show in Taipei a few decades ago and as a result have maintained a soft spot for Logitech ever since.

At least until I got my wife an iPad for Christmas and picked up this keyboard to go with it. Since my wife rarely, if ever, uses the iPad and has not even once tried the keyboard I decided to give them a try.

Big surprise. The iPad? Terrific but to my great disappointment the Logitech keyboard is so stiff it’s nearly unusable. For example, the space bar has to be pressed near its exact center to do its job and even then it demands way beyond normal pressure to get a space out of it.

And it’s the same story with just about every other key; they require about twice the pressure of any keyboard I’ve ever owned and I’ve had a bunch of ’em. One of the other reviewers mentioned that their keyboard had finally “broken in” after a while.

Really? I’ve never had a single computer peripheral require that it be “broken in. ” This keyboard is so bad that I’m returning it. When I bought it the only one left at BigBuy was this one in its sealed box so I couldn’t try it out and since unsatisfactory stiffness is mentioned in dozens of reviews I should have known better.

Could mine be a lemon? Maybe, but I doubt it. Sadly this thing is far from what I’ve come to expect from Logitech.

I got this thinking it would be really useful. I had another Logitech keyboard that I had used greatly for my PS3 which was useful because it had a built in mouse pad. I left that device to my parents.

Flash forward to now. I looked up that other keyboard and the problem is that it requires a “unifying receiver” (the dongle) in order for it to work. Hence the purchase of this product. I prefer typing on a physical keyboard rather than using touch screens.

I own a multitude of devices that are Bluetooth enabled for which this product solves the problem of using. The keyboard is sturdy. The buttons themselves are a little odd being circles rather than rectangular and takes little time to become as familiar with.

I acknowledge that for the devices of used it for (Firestick 4k, iPad, PS4), it actually sees very little use. I realized that I prefer a larger keyboard that isn’t as cramped. Just personal preference.

What’s neat is that it has the ability to remember and switch between 3 different profiles to connect to your devices. I think this is a 5 star product, but ultimately because I use this infrequently (due to size), I don’t think it was the perfect purchase.

I should have gotten a larger keyboard, but those ones with the touchpad are crazy expensive. This is a good alternative.

Bought this keyboard to replace one where some of the keys were sticking even after a good cleaning. I literally took that keyboard apart and scrubbed everything to no avail. Anyway, while this keyboard is indeed comfortable and the keys are soft and silent, what I didn’t take into consideration is that the letters and numbers painted on the keys are a light gray color and not white making them very difficult to see unless you’re in a well lit room.

The room where my computer is at is not well lit which is a preference of mine. Unfortunately, I misplaced the receipt so I’ll have to take the hit and purchase another keyboard. The fortunate part is that it wasn’t that expensive.

Lesson learned, make sure you look at the keys to see that they are a color that will be usable in low light.

Over all I think for a lapboard it is great and is pretty comfortable doing so. The keyboard I have yet to notice any input lag compared to a wired keyboard, though it does take a moment to wake up upon entering sleep (usually missing that first keystroke upon waking up).

I tend to be a controller player so when it eventually falls asleep on me while playing like Forza or Monster Hunter it does take a second or two to alt tab to go and message someone on discord or just view another window because of this.

My only other small complaint is that it’s K63 is purely blue led. It’s not a big deal breaker but if you like playing with iCue for lighting themes or want the ice blue version of the keyboard. Which for a lapboard that you’d be using in a living room or bed room might end up just not fitting it for a theme if you care for that little bit of extra look.

If you’re a function over form person though, yes it’s pretty comfortable and does what it should.

I love that the brightness button allows you to turn the LEDs down to 50% or even OFF in order to preserve power and reduce strain on the eyes. I’ve found, several times, that the keyboard, in the dark, is extremely bright and distracting, so bringing it down 50% has been a lifesaver- and during the day- or when I have my lights turned on in the room, there’s literally ZERO need for the RGB lighting in the keyboard.

It’s nice to have options. I REALLY miss my numeric keypad, but I’m hoping that it’s something I’ll get used to over time. It’s difficult to learn a new set-up when- on everything else, you’re still using the old set-up.

:/ I like that I can straight up turn it off entirely. It’s a good feature, but it also comes with the “sleep” feature that allows the keyboard (when not in use) to power down temporarily. However, this feature has a drawback: you can’t just jump right in.

You MUST tap one key and wait about 2 seconds for the keyboard to re-engage with the PC. The Game Board docking station (quite long) that comes with the keyboard (extremely short – due to the absence of the numeric keypad) is easy enough to use, but the parts seem a bit fragile on the inside.

I’m guessing that is why they include spare parts for the docking mechanisms. Hopefully, mine will break before my warranty is up, so I can just replace the whole thing. Although, I’m sure they took into account the length of warranties when they included those spare parts, so we’ll see.

The keys are quite high, so the depression of keys takes extra finesse and causes a louder than usual key-press noise. Although satisfying sometimes, it can be a bit annoying at others. For instance- you know how you might type something passionately, and on that last keystroke, you pull your hands away like a pianist finishing a concierto? That’s satisfying with the extra noise.

On the other hand, just typing out sentences that you haven’t fully formed in your mind or having to edit words that you have misspelled can be annoying- especially when they mistakes often stem from the keyboards super-sensitivity.

Did I mention that the keys are super-sensitive regardless of the fact that they are pretty high off the board? It’s a thing. I do with the cord for charging was about 2x longer, but that’s probably just my personal set-up (gaming from a lazy-boy about 8 feet from the PC case).

However, because it has great connectivity as a wireless, that’s not a necessity. ONE BIG THING – IN MY OPINION, the power cord connection, a MICRO USB, sucks. It’s very difficult to plug in the cord.

On the one hand, it’s better than a mini-usb, but on the other hand, it’s really quite difficult to insert and remove the cord. I find myself needing to remove and re-insert the cord about 1x per 2 days for charging.

I might end up leaving the cord plugged into the laptop permanently if I can figure out a solution to make it so the cord isn’t just laying all over the place when not plugged into a power source. Speaking of a power source.

THE BATTERY. The battery life is not great. Honestly, it can last about 4-5 days, with the RGB lights turned off and intermittent use of about 3-4 hrs per day. I need to recharge the battery about every other day on the weekends, when I spend extended periods of time gaming.

However, thinking critically about power management shouldn’t be an issue with a keyboard, in my opinion. The battery also places a large amount of weight on the keyboard. It’s VERY heavy at around 3 lbs on it’s own.

The weight. The whole set-up of the keyboard and game board weigh around 5-6 lbs. NOT ideal for any kind of moving around- despite the fact this this is supposed to be a wireless set-up. FOR MOVING AROUND.

It takes two hands AT ALL TIMES. Otherwise, be prepared to drop and destroy it. This keyboard has many ups and downs. In the end, I recommend you try it out for a few weeks and decide if it’s FOR YOU or not.

I bought the Corsair K63 keyboard as a modern replacement for my aging (and cheap) standard wired keyboard. Overall the feel and look of the product is fantastic. When combined with the Corsair iCue software it allows you to set up and alter the LED lighting effects and other features such as key bindings.

One slight cautionary note is that for me at least, the initial setup was somewhat tricky. Even though I had plugged the keyboard in as a wired connection to the computer – Windows 10 did not recongise the keyboard and therefore I was unable to type.

The solution it would seem is to continue to use the old keyboard as well, and install the iCue software. Once this has been installed (and updated), it will recognise the keyboard and then you can congiure it, unplug the original keyboard and reboot.

The iCue software is very useful, not only does it recongise the keyboard, but other corsair devices too – such as the Corsair Kator Pro mouse, or the a Corsair PC Case such as the Crystal 680x. Each of these devices is shown within a panel of the software and all the settings are exposed allowing full control of RGB lighting and the like.

The keyboard its self is excellent – hoever, its not a full sized keyboard as it lacks a separate number pad. It does however, have an arm rest and serveral media keys which run along the top of the keyboard.

I’ve tested the bluetooth connectivity and the wired connectivity and both work very well. Overall – very pleased and and excellent purchase.

It looks and feels excellent quality, it feels precision made compared to standard keyboards. It’s got all the functions you could need and probably more. It feels sturdy, the wrist support is comfy and very easy to connect.

Its heavy enough to not move on your desktop. The USB port is really useful for plugging in your mouse. The negatives are about you rather than the device: the keys seem higher and more sensitive than normal and so take some getting used to, the G buttons down the left may be useful but it means that the top left button is G1 rather than Escape, which again takes some getting used to.

It needs two USB ports on the PC, but you swap one for the mouse. Then there is the cost, expensive. Ultimately, if you want great quality and have the spare money then go for it, but if you want a keyboard that does the job you can get one for a fraction of this price.

Most gaming keyboards account for people who use the arrow keys and remove the right windows key for the lichting function key. MSI have gone with keeping both windows keys and replacing the key next to right ctrl which is the run key for anyone using arrow keys.

Because its now a specific key for lighting and pressing it and any arrow key changes the lighting no game will accept it as a valid key. Currently using r ctrl r shift enter 0 1 4 and 7 for halo and you cant stretch to right windows key as thats a special key and wont be accepted.

Basically if you play with arrow keys dont buy this. Shame as it seemed a nice keyboard but ruined by focussing on gimmicky lighting rather than the important bits.

2 years ago i had a stroke with left me with no feeling and tremors in one hand. This has made typing considerably more difficult. I’ve tried a variety of keyboards and none fixed the problem. This one however has eradicated it completely! Really good when it works, however.

This was my third one of these. The first two had dead keys. Literally didn’t work or only worked when you pressed two keys for some reason. This was why i’ve knocked a star off as they clearly have no QC/QA at corsair.

Back to the good points, it syncs up with my system lighting, the Macros keys do what you’d expect them too and you can make ANY key a macro key. Never type with the numpad? Remap them! I have a streamdeck and this keyboard integrates with that well.

As with other keyboards that have USB 2. 0 passthrough the cable is on the unwieldy side! It’s quite thick and unbending. The wristrest however is excellent and very soft. The keyboard comes with sets of extra keys for WASD, MMO keys so you can’t make these stand out from the rest of the keyboard but as the AXON keys are cherry compatible you can also buy a set of your preferred keys in whatever style you choose.

Pudding caps look quite nice! All in all you’d be hard pressed to find a better alternative except maybe the Steelseries Apex Pro. So get this or get that!.

TranslateShow in original languageIn erster Linie möchte ich betonen, wie schick diese Tastatur ist, und wie toll sie verarbeitet ist. Das Schreibgefühl ist großartig. Ich habe hier die sogenannte blaue Variante, also mit den blauen Switches unter den Tasten.

Damit habe ich den klassischen lauten Tastaturton einer mechanischen Tastatur. Wer es leiser mag, entscheidet sich für die rote Variante. Schade ist, dass diese Tastatur nicht kabellos ist. Eine Bluetooth Tastatur wäre eine tolle Ergänzung.

Außerdem fehlt mir der Zahlenblock, das ist für meine Arbeit sehr hilfreich. Dennoch ist es eine große Freude und Erleichterung, mit dieser Tastatur zu arbeiten. Sicher, es gibt andere Tastaturen von Logitech, aber die Verarbeitung und das Design sprechen mich an.

Und dass es eine mechanische Tastatur ist. Auf meiner MacBook Pro Tastatur habe ich wirklich keine Lust mehr zu arbeiten, nachdem man diese benutzt hat. Die Tasten sind schön groß, und ich habe endlich wieder die Funktionstasten, bzw Kommandotasten.

Ich finde die Touchbar sehr nervig. Also eine eindeutige Kaufempfehlung von mir.

TranslateShow in original languageÜberlegt Haben wir schon lange, ob nicht eine mechanische Tastatur doch besser wäre und uns nun zu dem Schritt entschlossen. Welch ein Glück! Die Tastatur vermittelt ein ganz neues Schreibgefühl, es ist unbeschreiblich, wie extrem der Unterschied ist.

Das Feedback durch den Tastaturdruck ist ein ganz anderes und fühlt sich einfach viel besser an. Zusätzlich ist die Tastatur hochwertig verarbeitet und schön dezent. Wir sind begeistert.
