How much should I spend on a good mechanical gaming keyboard with RGB?

The amount you should spend on a  great RGB mechanical gaming keyboard really depends on your use case and budget. A simple, good mechanical gaming keyboard with  RGB lights may cost $50 to $80. That last one offers  mechanical switches, good lighting effects, and solid gaming performance. If you're willing to spend $80 to $140, you'll get better build quality, more lighting options, and a  few extra features, such as programmable keys or media buttons.

Keyboards in this upper tier  are more durable and can withstand the test of time. For premium keyboards with very sturdy bodies, excellent lighting software, hot-swappable switches , and additional gaming functions, the cost can range from $140 to $200 or more. The highest price isn't what most gamers will want to pay for good performance. A keyboard in the $80 to $140 range is generally the sweet spot for quality, lighting, and longevity. First, set a budget and choose one that fits how much you play games and how long you’re looking to keep it.

Are wired or wireless RGB mechanical keyboards better for gaming?

It all comes down to the kind of gaming you do when deciding which is better for gaming : RGB wired vs. wireless mechanical keyboards. Wired keyboards plug into your computer with a  cord. This makes it much faster and more stable. Wired keyboards don’t generally lag and never need to be charged. For this reason, serious gamers prefer wired keyboards for competitive gaming—wireless keyboards link up without a cable.

They provide a cleaner desk and allow for more freedom of movement. Quality wireless RGB mechanical keyboards can still be fast and reliable, but they must be powered by batteries. The light and the wireless connection drain the  battery faster, so you will have to charge them regularly. You got the wireless keyboard if you care about a clean setup and don’t mind charging. If you play ultrafast games in which every millisecond  matters, wired keyboards might be a better choice because there's less chance of lag.

What mechanical switch types are best for gaming?

Mechanical switches are the components beneath your keys that make them click and clack when you press down. For gaming, the superior switches are responsive and feel smooth to press down without requiring much force. Many gamers prefer linear switches because they move straight down, without a  bump or click. That means they feel silky smooth and really quick, great when you have to stamp on multiple keys in  quick succession in a game. Among linear switches, the most popular in gaming are  Red and Black mechanical switches.

Red switches tend to require a little less force and are quieter, while Black switches take more effort and feel harsher. Some gamers like a tactile switch, as well. Tactile switches feature a tiny bump you can feel when you press down on the key, indicating that it's clicked. Brown switches are a popular tactile switch that many  people enjoy using for gaming and typing. They're not too loud and they still feel good in action.

Clicky switches (such as Blue switches) have a loud click and are generally better for typing  than for gaming. In short, linear switches, Red or Black, are best for fast gaming, and tactile switches, like Brown, are good for both gaming and typing. Pick the one that feels most comfortable.

How do I customize RGB lighting on gaming keyboards?

You will need to download and install the software from the keyboard maker's website first. Once you've opened the software, you'll find  lots of lighting options. The colours, brightness, and speed of the lights can be adjusted. Typing Keyboards will  have effects such as wave, breathing, ripple, and rainbow, among others. Per-key  RGB is also supported on some keyboards so that you can assign a unique hue to each key. It is helpful to focus on some gaming keys, such as W, A, S, D, or MOBA QWER and  DF.

Some  gaming keyboards can change RGB lighting without software. There are shortcut keys (a combination of the Fn key and another  key) to change the colour or lighting mode. This is useful if you type on separate computers. You can also make profiles for individual games. For instance, one set of lights to game with, and another while typing. Once you’ve got your favourite style, save it so the keyboard can recall it. Custom RGB lighting makes your gaming setup look fresh and also helps you to identify the keys you need  on the fly for precise control during games.
