How to choose a gaming keyboard

How to choose a gaming keyboard and not regret your choice will help us to tell Ruslan Sharipov, an experienced gamer.

Is buying a mechanical keyboard really that important?
Even though the gamer community now believes that mechanics are the best for gaming tasks, I do not completely agree with this. For an ordinary lover to play, enough with the top and a good membrane. Especially if you don’t play online shooters. I have both a membrane keyboard and a mechanical keyboard, I mostly use the former because of its quiet operation.
Helpful backlight?
For me personally, not so much. Usually I play “blind” and I don’t need to look at the keys, day or night. Usually, when you play a particular game, you quickly remember all the necessary keys and poke on the machine. It seems to me that lighting is more about aesthetic pleasure and appearance. In some games where a lot of keys are used, it can come in handy.
How much does the price affect the quality of the device?
Modern keyboards (naturally without marriage) usually work out their cost and work well. The choice is usually about personal preference and comfort. Well, durability, of course. You should not hope that the keyboard for 200-300 rubles will last a long time. Adequate cost for a more or less high-quality model is in the region of a thousand rubles from well-known companies.
