Okay, let's get into it! Here are the top five best Mechanical Keyboards.
The fifth product on our list is the Logitech G413.
The Logitech G413 is an affordable full-sized keyboard with precision key lighting.

play or pause, lighting, and all the other things that function keys usually do.

It's perfect for a beginner setup or as a work keyboard.
The fourth product on our list is Razer BlackWidow Elite.
The Razer BlackWidow Elite is a premium keyboard with thoughtfully placed keys.
It features the BlackWidow's basic design with keycaps that reflect the backlighting.
On the left side, you'll find a USB pass-through and a 3.5-millimeter audio cable pass-through.
There are circular buttons that act as discrete media controls and a dial to control volume or
lighting levels. The standard wrist rest makes typing very comfortable. It has a
durable construction and is magnetic, so you can remove it if space is an issue.
You've got three different key-switch choices: Loud, tactile green switches,
quiet tactile orange, or quiet linear yellow. The new design of the key-switches is more
responsive and durable. This allows you to take your typing to the next level.
You can program the keyboard's lighting as a rainbow wave, a solid color,
or choose from one of the many other presets. You can also go nuts and build your own effects!
This is a keyboard built for gamers and productivity with a fun design. If you're
looking for outstanding construction and flexible use, the Razer BlackWidow Elite is perfect.
The third product on our list is the Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB.
The Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB is a split ergonomic keyboard for gaming and work.
The two halves are durable hard matte-grey plastic connected by 20-inch braided cables.
This gives you plenty of space to move it into a comfortable position.
The keys are configured in a 75-percent layout that makes it compact. It comes with wrist rests
for a comfortable typing experience and keeps the stress off your back. The rests are plush
and detachable, great if you're short on space. It comes in three Cherry MX switch options:
Blue is for heavy typists, red is ideal for gamers with high responsiveness,
and brown is the perfect middle ground. You get 9 customizable macro keys that
you can program to trigger specific actions. You’ll find SmartSet keys on the top edge to
swap profiles or set up the configuration app. Kinesis has a dedicated app with 11 customizable
color schemes. You can even freestyle and set different colors for each key.
The Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB is great for gaming, work, or a fun blend of both.
The second product on our list is the Corsair K100 RGB.
Corsair's K100 RGB keyboard features multithreading that delivers a 4KHz polling rate.
This makes your performance four times faster than other mechanical keyboards.
You get two switch options: optical-mechanical or
Cherry MX silver switches. Both deliver a lightning-fast response.
There's also a programmable metal control wheel and a volume rocker.
The keyboard boasts an improved wrist rest with a larger cushion area that attaches via magnets
for a more solid feel. The PBT keycaps feel luxurious, and the RGB lighting looks fantastic.
The construction is a durable light metal frame with a 44-zone, three-sided RGB light edge.
The center wheel changes color to let you know what mode it's in. The default settings have
blue for controlling brightness, green for fast-forwarding or rewinding media content,
white for skipping through files, and red to record macros. You can use the iCue software
to customize these presets to suit your tastes. You'll find six programmable G
keys on the left edge of the keyboard. Overall, the Corsair K100 RGB is the
ideal keyboard if you're looking for a highly customizable option.
