Gaming Keyboard RGB

The last time I looked into gaming keyboard RGB controllers was in October of 2015 with a Razer Blade 15 II and Razer peripherals for the original Razer Blade 14, so it’s not that long ago. I had already spent several years on my own tinkering around keyboards and mice; first, building and modifying them. Then I went on to build and modify at least six different PC peripherals from other manufacturers. It’s really a laborious process with little parts to be welded to and then reminded to be welded back up again and so on; there is no one-size-fits-all approach here as there are too many components. A bit like those old photo booths where you’re required to have your frame stowed away somewhere while others were used to hang their canvases nearby. This past summer, after working hard to keep away any bad vibes from my home office, I started to look into buying new laptops. After thinking about how good or poor some certain laptops can be, I thought now would be a better time to try out an alternative. In this article — along with a video in which I set up a custom gaming keyboard RGB controller over HDMI from a USB port — we will go over: How gaming keyboards work, Why gaming keyboards are important, and The differences between gaming keyboards and gaming mice. How gaming keyboards work The idea of gaming keyboards comes from game designers who want computers like Nintendo Wii Sports controllers and Xbox One X/S, but they also wanted to make a more accessible experience through keyboards. These are things most people think about when making the decision to buy something new; there has always been more than meets the eye and what we see is often not what the device actually provides. For example, if they wanted a mouse that worked well on a laptop as well as on one of the recently released phones, then that would obviously be a superior option. Unfortunately, though, these devices (and many others) only exist within reach for gamers, as they do not allow for much flexibility with regards to performance, ease of use, or weight when compared to older consoles (and moreso smartphones). In short, when you look into upgrading to a newer device, you need to consider what the experience is like before you choose to invest in it. There are times when a great solution may come along that has a lower price tag, but as its costs to replace grow, the device becomes less affordable. So you have to think about whether that particular upgrade is right for you. If its design is good, why would anyone purchase it, but only if it works? The best gaming keyboards Now let’s get into our review of the best gaming keyboards ever made — and why gaming keyboards are important. The Razer Kapton Pro RGB If you’re looking to add another dimension to your gaming setup, check out the Razer Kapton Pro RGB. With its unique feature set, its comfortable keys, and its wide range of inputs, this is definitely worth a look. This is especially true since it adds Razer support to Razer peripherals even if its peripheral options are lacking. Its intuitive triggers (especially key presses), large touchscreens, tons of programmable functions, multiple lighting modes, anti-ghosting controls… you name it! And of course, its multi-core CPU makes this a great option if you’re planning on using that computer for both gaming and non-gaming work. The Razer Corsair Obsidian Black 10 The Corsair Obsidian Black 10 offers plenty of features for gamers that don’t take up a lot of space, but more importantly, it’s fun and unique too. Although the case does contain blasters, lots of power switches, and memory card slots, i.e., external drive interfaces and graphics card graphics cards, you won’t need to spend money on extra power adapters that aren’t needed, unless you plan on overclocking, as it will affect future overclocking compatibility. Yes, you are stuck with Intel processors, and no matter how cleverly you manage cooling or motherboard integration, that CPU will still continue to operate at full capacity until it gets replaced. But if you decide for whatever reason that you’ll be playing a game with 100fps frame rates instead of 60 fps, you can just switch out the GPU for one that supports 64 or 128 cores for faster or smoother gameplay (depending on what kind of game you want to play). What about us gamers? While there’s nothing wrong with having a dedicated monitor for playing movies, 1080p 30 frames per second videos, and anything other than high contrast monitors, we find that gaming monitors occupy very good amounts of space. Games play fine on decent displays, so it only makes sense to put them on monitors that are more compatible with the games being played. However, if you’re thinking about adding a gaming monitor on top of a regular display, you probably should consider either purchasing one separately or getting a separate piece to add to the existing screen. A single TV screen is usually optimal if you’re on the hunt for a high refresh rate and ideally low input lag, but if you’re using two displays, you might want to consider doing that. You can also place your main display onto that TV, although ideally, you should pair your primary showcase, otherwise called a "gamepad", with the other presentation for double headroom. Don’t expect smooth gameplay (or fast loading times) if you’re playing on your phone or tablet. Plus, while there’s plenty to enjoy playing and talking directly on your mobile phone or tablet, it’s likely that your tablet will render the same gameplay performance regardless of resolution or display size. The Razer Gavaskar S20 One of the coolest gaming keyboards on the market is the Razer Gavaskar S20, a fully redesigned flagship gaming keyboard from 2019 which uses RGB lighting and customizable lighting. What sets the Razer Gavaskar S20 apart from almost everything else out there is its modularity and customization capabilities. Unlike most other keyboards, it’s easy to change each of its individual lighting settings, allowing you to customize your keyboard according to your preferences lighting effects, and more. In addition, it has four physical RGB input pads, six customizable lighting patterns, eight mechanical keys, and a USB optical combo cable for easier connection, depending on your setup. Overall, this keyboard is a blast to play and to write on. The Razer Dragonfly Deluxe The Razer Dragonfly Deluxe is another gaming keyboard that is extremely capable of handling almost every task. The RGB lighting and customizable lighting effects add a great degree of coolness to the whole thing. When paired with its compact footprint (around 1.3 by 1.5 by 0.8 inches), wireless controllers, and powerful processor (the MediaTek Helio G60) it feels like you’re taking all the benefits of a mouse and replacing it with one of the latest tech-giant gaming keyboards. Like the Razer Kapton Pro RGB, the Dragonfly Deluxe is only $200 and available for around $200. It’s also available on Amazon for $198 but with free shipping. The Razer Apex x2 Wireless Mechanical Keyboards There are some seriously awesome gaming keyboards out there that are built to withstand a lot of wear and tear. We can speak with that because even though the Razer Kraken RGB wasn’t exactly designed for heavy gaming, its sturdy steel chassis does quite a job of protecting against knocks, drops, shocks, etc. That being said, the Razer Kraken x2 Wireless Mechanical keyboards also prove excellent. They’re incredibly durable with an IP65 rating, providing protection against dust, water, dirt, scratches, splinters, tears, stains, etc., and fit perfectly on everyday use computer peripherals, including keyboards (and mice), mice, headphones, mice, game controllers, monitors, and more. All these attributes combined make a great gaming keyboard that lasts longer and doesn’t break down easily. The Razer Kraken MX RGB Optical Mouse The Razer Kraken MX RGB Optical Mouse is one of the strongest gaming mouse alternatives out there. Similar to the Razer Kraken RGB, it boasts a rubber thumb rest, sturdy construction, and four linear actuators. Unlike many gaming keyboards, however, the Razer Kraken RGB Optical Mouse comes with three RGB lights rather than only one. This allows the user to override a selected color scheme and lighting effect, and create their own customized lighting patterns. Its small size and light weight make it ideal for travel or when you’re trying to keep your desk space as close to minimal as possible. The Razer Kraken MX RGB Optical Mouse is currently sold on Amazon for $150 with free shipping and customer satisfaction surveys. Conclusion There’s no denying that gaming keyboards are an integral part of modern gaming as far as immersion controllers go. Gone are the days when gaming was isolated, limited to simply console gameplay (which was often prohibitively expensive, for instance), and mostly limited to Windows and consoles or PCs (which were also rare and expensive). Nowadays, gaming keyboards can have just as strong applications in gaming as in general consumer electronics for both Android and iOS. Of course, the downside of gaming keyboards is that many users experience issues when using keyboards that aren’t designed for gaming. An overwhelming number of keyboards come equipped with software or firmware updates that often cause problems with sound or battery life. But remember, when investing in a new laptop or mouse, you’re going to need to think carefully about what the hardware has to offer and whether that hardware combination will provide enough value to justify having to pay out of pocket or bank interest, as you’re paying on the purchase price upfront, although it generally doesn’t.
