KITGURU SHORTLISTS: THE BEST KEYBOARD OF 2025

This is the ASUS ROG Falcata - a split 75% gaming keyboard with magnetic switches, Rapid Trigger, SOCD and up to 8000Hz polling. You can run it as a full board, or just the left half for maximum mouse room. It’s incredibly versatile, packed with competitive-focused gaming features… and it costs £335.

The ROG Falchion Ace HFX is the first keyboard from Asus to support the ever popular rapid trigger and SOCD, or 'speed tap' as Asus call it. The board features factory lubricated ROG HFX magnetic switches and proprietary stabilisers. In addition to the standard array of gaming keyboard features, the Falchion Ace HFX sports a touch strip which can be used to adjust various settings, including switch actuation distance.

Keychron is a brand that is well known amongst the keyboard enthusiast community, but maybe not so much amongst gamers. The company has been honing its craft for quite some time now and releasing keyboards that aim to deliver great typing feel, satisfying acoustics and good build quality. Well, the Q1 Max, one of the company's latest wireless 75% mechanical keyboards, aims to do just that...

Corsair has added to its extensive line-up of peripherals with the release of the K65 Plus Wireless. Featuring a 75% layout, factory lubed switches and stabilisers alongside a focus on the core aspects of a keyboard, this new board aims to improve previous products where it matters most.

MSI may not be the first name you think of when it comes to keyboards, but they’re hoping to change that with the release of the Forge GK600 TKL Wireless. This is a modern and clean tenkeyless board offering 3 way connectivity, hot-swappable linear switches and 5 layers of dampening material. All for just £74.99 RRP, setting a new standard in the sub £100 mechanical board market!
