Peripherals

My team and I have tested and compared over two dozen keyboards, and we have finally rounded up the best six options for gaming.

The Fantech EOS Pro WGP15 is a versatile gaming controller offered for those looking for advanced customization and multi-platform compatibility without a hefty price tag. It has a striking, cyberpunk-inspired design with interchangeable thumbsticks and a D-pad, while its hall-effect triggers and sticks provide drift-free performance.

SOCD cleaning is all the rage nowadays. On that note, we’ve selected the best magnetic gaming keyboards for you. Say hello to winning.

The Fantech Aria II Pro is a stellar option for gamers looking for unique design and performance. Retaining its signature egg-shaped design with thoughtful refinements, it weighs just 53 grams and has an upgraded NRF52840 MCU that supports an impressive 8K polling rate for ultra-responsive gameplay.

With custom gaming keyboards on the rise, I tested plenty of them from different manufacturers to round up the top six options.

After months of testing, I have finally rounded up the best wireless keyboards that are perfect for gaming.

The Aula M75 is a fantastic aluminum keyboard with virtually no flaws, not even in price. It’s got all the essential components for a flawless typing experience, but its wireless performance falls short. The battery life, on the other hand, is truly the best in the game. As long as you don’t mind its simplicity, the M75, with its excellent build quality and packaging, stands as a top-tier keyboard.

The Aula F75 Max delivers a surprisingly satisfying typing experience for its price, thanks to well-lubed switches and impressive stock stabilizers. The sleek design compliments the side-lit keycaps well, but the illusion quickly falters when you look at its highlight feature. The screen is poorly implemented with little functionality, and it ends up worsening the volume knob along with it. Ultimately, you end up with solid fundamentals but a clear lack of polish around everything else.

The Tecware Spectre 75 is a fantastic budget keyboard with no apparent flaws, as long as you’re willing to pay for it. The build quality matches well with the simple design, but the inclusion of a screen and volume knob diversify the package nicely. Not only does the company nail the basics, but the superb implementation of the screen transforms it from a gimmick to a genuine feature. This is the best budget plastic prebuilt out right now.

The Ajazz AK820 Max is a good budget keyboard let down by its frugality. It offers a competent overall package with satisfying sound and feel, along with strong build quality but it fails to extend its appeal beyond that. With boards like the Aula F75 still thriving, the AK820 Max, despite being a robust keyboard, can only live in its shadow as a substitute. It serves as a good replacement rather than a good first choice.

The Epomaker RT80 is an ambitious keyboard that features dual screens and a unique layout, aiming to stand out in the crowded budget mechanical keyboard market. While it excels in certain areas like build quality and wireless performance, it falls short in others, particularly in the practicality of its features. The touchscreen is tricky to use and, in turn, makes typing on what’s an otherwise excellent stock experience harder than it needs to be.

The Corsair Virtuoso Max Wireless delivers exceptional audio quality through its 50mm graphene drivers, providing a rich and balanced sound profile suitable for both gaming and multimedia use. Its sturdy aluminium frame and sleek design give a high-end feel which is further complemented by subtle RGB lighting on the earcups.
