The Best Keyboards
You touch your keyboard more than anything else on the desk, so it should feel and sound right. This guide covers mechanical boards for typing and gaming, compact layouts and low-profile keyboards, from collector-grade builds to the board that ships with a Mac. It is for anyone who types all day and has an opinion about how a keystroke should feel.
