Hi,

I think Optical Mechanical Keyboards are the way to go.  There are several, the one I like is the Razer Huntsman V2 Optical Gaming Keyboard.

Comments?

If you ONLY care about latency, then yeah, that seems to be the one. The higher the polling rate, the more CPU it's going to use though I believe. What's your system look like? Can it run the game and everything else while providing that keyboard with enough CPU to even get that latency? Honestly seems like overkill and an expensive keyboard. You can literally play with some generic Logitech membrane keyboard and do just fine. It's definitely nicer to have a decent mechanical keyboard though.

If you want to try different switches, springs, or replace switches when they go bad (usually chatter) then I'd do go with something with a hot-swap pcb.

I still think the Wooting 60HE is a better choice and cost less then the Razer. I'd personally vote for the Ducky One 3 mini, because it's pretty affordable, nice build quality, and has very low latency. Not the best, but not far off at all. It's good enough that Pro's probably use it kind of thing.

Keep in mind form factor as well. A 60% gives you a lot more room for your mouse and personally I find it aesthetically appealing. Plus you have the same amount of keys basically using the function key. On my board I use Caps Lock as my function so it's easy to reach. \

What kind of mouse and mousepad do you use? That's far more important in my opinion. A keyboard isn't going to make you better. Positioning, game sense, recoil control, map knowledge, being comfortable with your setup. There's so much that goes into being good at a shooter and keyboards are kinda at the bottom of that list. Your monitor is really important too.

Hi,

With respect, the Wooten is a nice keyboard like the many other nice keyboards, but it cannot match the Optical Mechanical Keys 🙂

Depends on your budget, on amazon this is cheap.

@Tank_KrusherSo did you actually buy one yet? Which one did you go with?

Yes, let us know.

And maybe do a short review like what you like/dislike about your choice.

If the keyboard is primarily used for gaming, a tenkeyless is a no-brainer.

I'm using the "Vulcan TKL Pro" with optical switches and are very pleased (used Razor and Corsairs previously). The keyboard is perfect for gaming, but very 'responsive'. For typing, it takes some time getting used to, the low travel-distance and high responsitivity of the keys feel 'strange' in the beginning. It has been through a lot of abuse (like physical abuse) and it holds up very well and the keys feels really really nice - like the best I have ever tried.

I would go to a physical store and try different keyboards and find one that you feel comfortable with, one that feels (and sounds) good to you. If the keyboard has n-key-rollover and 1000Hz polling, it will do the job perfectly no matter what (I think all gaming-keyboards have these features).

I have also found Corsairs quality to be not the best, I have had Corsair keyboards that had problems with the LEDs and also keyboards with switches that stopped working.

There is a few sites measuring keyboard input delay. Might be worth looking into.
