Gaming Keyboard?

[RoccoNZ]

I'm looking at buying a dedicate gaming keyboard. Something with programmable keys and appropriate backlight for ambiance in the man-cave.

What gaming keyboards are people using? Any advice/tips?

my opinion is a back lit one, so can play in the dark, macro's so keys can be programmed, Cherry if you wish to spend on a good keyboard and Mechanical plus silent helps.

i've used a few but tend to like Corsair with Cherry quality while Razer BlackWidow is another good choice, for the cost i'd go for one with the Cherry keys instead, will be high cost but last a life time.

buy from some retailers and they will warranty for 3 to 5 years, i've had a cherry one for 12 years and only just had to replace it last year, was as good then as when i first bought it, but didn't no longer support windows 10 as software was to old so upgraded, good macro's and onboard memory, colours to suit, i like blues and red at night, but can or have the option for any colour i choose, high use and silent and no matter how you hammer it, it will last.
