The best gaming keyboards provide a genuinely tactile interface with your gaming PC. And, as much as people might like the odd dalliance with a gamepad, it’s the heroic mouse and keyboard combination that makes PC gaming such an involved, fast, and accurate a hobby.
And, like us PC gamers, gaming keyboards come in all shapes and sizes. That means you will always be able to find one that suits you, your needs, your aesthetic, and your budget. And we review a host of keebs every year, in fact we’ve actually reviewed more gaming keyboards than gaming laptops over the past couple of years.
Right here is a list of the best gaming keyboards we’ve reviewed throughout 2025 that have scored 80% or above in our rigorous tech testing.

Jess’ verdict: 93%
“It’s finally time to haul my verdict out of the shadows: though by no means silent, I’m definitely a fan of the sound-dampened clacks on Be Quiet’s Light Mount. It lives up to its name in more ways than one, too, boasting vibrant, head-turning per-key RGB lighting—even the software offers few reasons to complain!”

Jess’ verdict: 89%
“A modular keyboard boasting versatile, ambidextrous placements, an impressive suite of customisation options, and a just lovely sound-dampened typing experience. Vibrant per-key RGB lighting coupled with a light bar that runs along the entire outer edge of the keyboard makes the Dark Mount a board not so easily overshadowed.”

“The Logitech G Pro X TKL Rapid is Logi’s first attempt at rapid trigger and, despite being a bit loud and a bit niche, it’s as solid as its aluminium front plate.”

Hope’s verdict: 86%
“I’m not sure the design fully justifies the $50 extra over the black edition, though, that seems a bit steep no matter the customisation. The lilac keys pop wonderfully against the black main chassis, and I enjoy the difference the circle media keys at the top add to the design.”

“A powerful gaming keyboard that makes a bit of a mockery of more expensive rivals with beefy Hall effect switches, pleasant physical touches and decent software.”

“Quieter clacking alongside a rich, customisable feature set make this a slightly more affordable alternative to the Corsair K70 Max. It’s comparatively compact to boot though, alas, still chunky for a tenkeyless design.”

“Compact and great to type on, the Kinesis mWave is a good introduction to the world of ergonomic keyboards. It’s ideal if you want all-day comfort for office work and gaming, but it’s an absolute grease magnet.”
