What’s the most important part of your PC? Is it the processor? The videocard? The motherboard? How about the keyboard?Don’t scoff—your keyboard is the part of your computer that you get up close and personal with. It’s the conduit between you and the PC, and having the right one can make you faster, more comfortable, and give you an edge in games. Because of that, we want to help you pick the plank that’s just right for you. There are a lot of contenders out there, but we’ve narrowed the field to eight boards that we think offer a solid cross-section of the options available in high-end keyboards, whether they focus on gaming, comfort, or speed. There are some boards that we’ve reviewed before in this list (and they’ll keep their original verdict—it’s only fair) and some that are a year or two old, but that’s what it takes to give you a look at the best of what’s available to you today.We know that everyone is looking for something different in their keyboard, so don’t think of this roundup as a winner-takes-all contest—we’re judging every keyboard on its individual merits, including comfort, build quality, and the unique features that it brings to the table, er, desktop. So keep reading—you owe it to your hands.
