Havit HV-KB390L Low Profile Mechanical Keyboard: $63.99, Havit

This keyboard is big, functional, and tested. You’ve probably already heard, this is hands down the best gaming keyboard around. Like all great gaming boards, it’s mechanical, has a row of hot keys, is very responsive, and is extremely customizable. It’s also sturdy, well-made, and easy to maintain. This keyboard is expensive, but its quality is undeniable. If you take gaming seriously and are willing to spend the capitol, stop searching, this is it.
Crosair K63 Wireless: $103.99, Amazon
Sticking with Crosair for your gaming is generally a good decision, but if you just can’t spend the premium bucks, fear not, the K63 Wireless retains the Corsair quality as well as the core of a good gaming keyboard for a fraction of the cost. It’s small, so some of the keys on the premium sets will be missing, but that also means it’s a lot more portable. Unless you’re a pro-gamer you won’t notice very many, if any, differences between this and the higher end version.
Microsoft Sculpt: $129.95, Microsoft
This keyboard prioritizes comfort over everything else. All useless, repetitive, or superfluous features found on most keyboards have been eliminated in order to make it smaller and the keys have been rearranged for comfort and convenience. The ergonomic shape and feel are noticeable right away, but where this product really shines is in repetitive use. If you have an office job, this is almost a necessity to reduce the wear and tear of typing.
Logitech K350: $32.88, Amazon
It’s hard to go cheap and ergonomic at the same time, but the K350 is a somewhat cheaper option that feels pretty good. It’s curved, which means finger length shouldn’t be much of a problem, and the wrist-rest works well. It’s not going to blow your mind, but anyone with repetitive use injuries should at least spend the money to get this. Even if it hurts your wallet, your body will thank you later.
Das Keyboard 4 Professional: $145, Amazon
This keyboard is mechanical, absolute quality, and has every bell and whistle. This is a professional keyboard which means it is catered to writing, audio-editing, video-editing, and ANYTHING you might remotely think about, including extra USB ports and a volume nob. Not ergonomic, but it somehow feels great - the keys even have a tactile touch to them. The Youtuber, writer, DJ, and movie editor within beg you to at least look this up. So many features, you’re bound to fall for something.
Topre Realforce: $222.72, Amazon
This is a behemoth, both in size and features with by far the most customizable keyboard we have ever used. Back-lighting, key-switching, sensitivity of keys, RGBs, and our favorite, every individual key’s actuation can be customized to your liking. This keyboard is beyond and definitely meant for Keyboard fanatics. We would also recommend this to serious gamers due to the actuation customization.
Jelly Comb Wireless Keyboard: $43.99, Amazon
There isn’t much to this one. This is for anyone looking to buy a cheap office keyboard. Why recommend this? Simply because it’s sturdy and better made than the alternatives at the same price point. If you are going to spend this little on your keyboard, you might as well get the highest quality option. Perfect to keep as a backup or for the extra computer in your guest room. It’s relatively quiet, responsive, and it will last you.
Microsoft Universal Foldable Keyboard: $99.95, Microsoft
Easily the most useful tablet keyboard you can find, this keyboard folds for easy portability, is super lightweight, low-key, and connects to any Bluetooth-capable device. Microsoft really thought about the consumer and how they might use a tablet day to day when creating this. It’s also spill-resistant, held together by magnets to avoid wear and tear, and very responsive. You can connect to multiple devices and switch between them on the fly - including Ipad, Surface, or any other tablet. This is a higher-quality option that works well with everything.
Arteck Universal Keyboard: $19.99, Amazon
This is the most portable keyboard. It’s small and connects to almost any device via true Bluetooth. It doesn’t feel flimsy and is very reliable for flights, buses, long car rides, crammed spaces. It’s also the perfect accessory to just leave in your back pack for random use. You can find "better" travel keyboards, but they all eventually prove to be a hassle or intrusive. Not the Arteck, and did you see that $20 price tag?
The Verdict: Keyboards
