Gaming Keyboard

Choosing the right gaming keyboard can be difficult. It can feel like navigating a jungle full different manufacturers, light effects, sizes and switches. To ease the process, we at MaxGaming have broken everything down to three critical components; switches, dimensions and the choice between the membrane and mechanical keyboards. Switches come in either mechanical or membrane style. Membrane keyboards use a plate that stretches over the entire keyboard.
In contrast, mechanical keyboards have a switch under each individual key, independent from other keys. This results in a quicker response and gives no limitation on how many keystrokes you can do at the same time, which is useful for games that require combinations of keystrokes. There are loads of different colours on mechanical switches, and each colour signifies different sensitivity, resistance and overall feeling.

The most usual switches are blue, red and brown. Blue switches have tactile feedback that emits a clear click sound every time the switch is activated. The red switch is linear and has no tactile feedback to confirm audibly when a key is pressed down. Since the red switch has a linear resistance, it is sturdy and reliable. It is considered by many to be the best switch for gaming. The brown switch is a cross between the blue and red. It doesn't have a definite click sound, but it has tactile feedback. The brown switch is therefore usually considered the best choice for those who want to use the keyboard for both work and gaming. At MaxGaming there are many different sizes of keyboards. Still, the three most common are full size, TKL (without the ten-key/number pad) and compact which is around 60 per cent the size of a full-size keyboard. Since many gamers want a lot of space for the mouse, a compact-sized keyboard is becoming more and more popular among players.
