When looking to purchase a new keyboard, it can often be a challenge to find one that is exactly what you need. If you play various PC games, you may want a little more from your keyboard, like extra buttons, or if all you do is type, than you may need an ergonomic keyboard. So what makes a gaming keyboard better for games than your average keyboard? Mainly that gaming keyboards can add a variety of different buttons and switches that can make your life easier. Gaming keyboards also utilize more intensive switches for each key and in general the keyboard is typically composed of better quality materials, as they do go through the ringer a bit more than your average keyboard.
Some other aspects that you be aware of when purchasing a keyboard is the ease to start typing. and the comfort of the keyboard. If it takes you five minutes to type to your guild members about something happening in a raid, then it defeats the purpose of the keyboard. Additionally, if you are playing for hours on end, comfort may be one of your biggest priorities.
