KITGURU SHORTLISTS: THE BEST KEYBOARD OF 2025

The lastest keyboard from Asus is their first to feature rapid trigger and SOCD

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.

The Everest 60 is a remarkably good keyboard for the price. The switches are responsive and feel good, plus they are incredibly quiet. The overall typing experience is like nothing else you can get for this price so for me it is a must have keyboard if you don't want to spend a fortune but still want all the thrills of modding and a premium feel. 

The BlackWidow V4 75% is one of the best keyboards Razer has ever made. Their focus on the core aspects of what delivers a great experience from a keyboard shines through in the end product. Their new 3rd generation mechanical switches feel great to type on and the stock stabilisers are much better than we've seen in previous 'off the shelf' keyboards. Small finishing touches like the inclusion of tape on the bottom of the PCB and the use of a gasket mounting system as opposed to case mounting all combine to deliver a very nice keyboard that is a pleasure to use.  We would like to see a wireless, full aluminium version in the future.
