1.Logitech G19 Keyboard

g19 Top 10 Gaming Keyboards
The general consensus is that Logitech’s latest gaming keyboard, the G19, is better in nearly every way than the G15 it’s poised to replace. The most notable improvement of the G19 is the inclusion of a bright 320×240 tilting LCD screen. Users can view the time, resource load, VoIP communication data, and even watch YouTube videos on the nifty display, in addition to a host of other uses.More macro keys are found on the G19, along with the ability to adjust the color of the backlight. All in all, it’s a worthy successor to one of the most popular gaming keyboards on the market.

2. Saitek Cyborg Gaming Keyboard

For the big gamers, this keyboard will keep you on the up side of gaming with its many different programmable keys and its “Cyborg” mode to do away with modern day keys.
i)Setting Up :Setting up the keyboard is a piece of cake, as most of the functions work without the need to install the driver software. Find the USB connector labeled ‘KBD’ and plug it into a spare USB slot on your PC.
ii) Lightning: The lighting is one of the Cyborg’s biggest selling points and is controlled from the touch-sensitive panel at the top of the keyboard.
Iii) Programmable Keys: There are twelve C-keys in total, six down each side of the keyboard, and their functions are decided by the setup in the driver software.
iv) Metal keys Another unique feature of the Saitek Cyborg is its metal keys. Saitek claim that the key gaming buttons have ‘hard-wearing, metal-plated key caps’, although this only includes the four arrow

3.Razer Tarantula

The Razer Tarantula just oozes style. With its glossy black finish, soft rubber-coated keys and cool blue backlighting it really does look good.
It’s not all show, either, as it packs a host of features into that black case. As you’d expect there are programmable keys, including ten special gaming keys down the sides of the keyboard. The Tarantula is particularly good in this area as it has 32KB of on board memory that can store up to five key profiles. This means you can take the keyboard with you, plug it into another PC and still be able to access your stored key profiles.

4. Logitech’s G15

Logitech’s G15 was an awesome keyboard, and was generally great for gaming. Not so much because of the multitude of macro keys and the largely useless LCD, but rather because of the backlit keys and the comfortable layout..The biggest change is that it’s now much smaller, which is a good thing in our opinion. There’s no longer a huge array of macro buttons on the left-side of the keyboard. Instead there is just a single strip of six keys, and then three “channel” keys giving you access to 18 macros.
There’s a “macro record” button that makes recording macros very simple. You just press the MR button, press a macro key that you want to use, then type out your combination of keys, and press the MR button again and you’re done. You can also use the included software to make macros and assign keys to certain functions.

5. Optimus Maximus

This is out of the price range of most gamers, but you have to take a look at it! It’s the wave of the future. Each key is its own OLED display, so you can change the keys to a variety of different setups. You can switch from a Qwerty display to a gaming display. The OLED displays are color and fully customizable. If you have to have the best out there, then this is the keyboard for you. At the very least, it will make great conversation the next time you are with your gaming buddies.

6.Ideazon Merc Stealth

The Ideazon Merc Stealth takes a different approach to the idea of a gaming keyboard by including a dedicated gaming keypad built into the left-hand side of the keyboard.This keypad area groups all of the usual gaming keys into a natural layout with direction keys larger than normal. In total there are 34 programmable keys, which can store macros for your favourite game actions.
The gaming keys are programmed through Ideazon’s Z Engine software, which is intuitive and easy to use. Once setup, the gaming keys are comfortable to use with a nice rubber coating, and give good tactile response when you press them.

7.Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Review

The keyboard is certainly the star of the show here, as it features an unusual wave design that runs contrary to the established ergonomic keyboard design philosophy. The Wave, however, takes a different tack by using a straightforward orientation of the keys, but including a gentle down slope on both sides of the keyboard to compensate for the fact that our middle fingers are longer than our index and pinky fingers. It’s not just that some buttons are shorter than others, though. The keys are all specifically designed to curve smoothly up and down, and if you look at the keyboard from a profile view, you can see the difference in key size.

8. Gyration’s Media Center Remote and Keyboard

It allows you to access every aspect of your Media Center PC from up to 100 feet away from the base unit. The keyboard works flawlessly and has some great multimedia features. The gyroscopic mouse was comfortable to use as well as easy to learn, however, the remote control functions and design could use some serious improvement.Gyration has come up with some innovative ways to incorporate their Gyro technology into a Media Center remote, but we feel they still have a bit of work to do. Its main flaw is the lack of number buttons which are often used while watching TV, but there were several other issues we had with the remote.

9. SideWinder X6 Gaming Keyboard

Including in SideWinder Division which is High-End Gaming Peripheral Microsoft Division and released with the newest generation SideWinder Mouse which are X5 and X8, X6 those are the ones of Gaming Keyboard in SideWinder series. Thin, Low-Profile with sharp shape design that in all can called minimalist also completed with bright red backlighting and soft amber yellowish. Unification between design and interesting color. With size 513 x 234 mm (included numpad),it’s wide enough but Low-Profile factor makes X6 still looks simply and unseen as wide like general Gaming Keyboard in market. Standard features in Gaming Keyboard like Macro, Backlit, and Media Player Keys still available, only in this keyboard all of that available in dense shape.

10. Razer Lycosa Mirror Special Edition Gaming Keyboard

The Arctosa and Lycosa. Both of these keyboards are very similar, and their major selling point is the customizability of every single key on the board.
