Hi fellows,

What are recommending as the best full size high-end gaming keyboard for FPS?

I read some reviews, but they are all over the place!

Thank you,

CG :)

Keyboards are so subjective. For full size I'd probably suggest the Mountain Everest Max, there's a few people on here that have them and are pretty happy with them. Hot-swappable so you can change the switches if reds aren't your thing.

I find very little difference between the Cherry MX switches and Gateron Pro. Again, it's very subjective.

Everest is pretty highly regarded but the price is eye-watering.

I have a Kinesis RGB and it's been pretty decent if you like the split 'ergonomic' layout, but you need to buy the adjustable stands separately if you want to tilt the keyboard at all.

I had a Corsair K95 back in the day and I was pretty happy with it. Came with Cherry Reds or Blacks and had good build quality and was built as a metal plate with the keys mounted on top so it was very easy to clean. No plastic shell that collected dirt, dust or whatever inside, you just blew air in from the side of the keyboard and gave it a couple shakes.

I mentioned it elsewhere I really like the optical switches in the rx scope, more than the regular mechanical switches. But very few keyboards have these

I haven't used it myself, but I really like the design of the linked Mountain Everest Max. I'd personally find the included red switches (cherry btw) too light for my tastes, but they're hot swappable and thus easily swapped for the user's preference.

The detachable num pad and media control look handy.

Hi fellows,

Have the advanced wireless technology keyboards surpassed the wired keyboards yet for Response Time, Latency and any other factors?

If so, what units are you recommending?

Thank you,

CG :)
