Wired PC Keyboards
Wireless PC keyboards can be very convenient, but for gamers who cannot afford a high error rate in keyboard input, only wired PC keyboards are really an option. PC keyboards can otherwise be divided into two groups. Rubber dome keyboards are especially suitable for office work and typing tasks. With their usually flat keys that are very easy to press, they are very well suited for efficiently typing longer texts.
For professional gamers, however, these PC keyboards are rather disadvantageous over time, as they often lead to finger slippage during fast gaming, provide less precision, and are not customizable. Mechanical PC keyboards have the advantage of an adjustable keystroke path. This allows for a tactile actuation point or minimal resistance. Mechanical PC keyboards come in different variations with noticeably different key modules. The most common type, "Cherry MX," has replaceable keys and is available in several variations.
Wired PC Keyboards with Plenty of Room for Individuality
Today, many PC keyboards also allow for the exchange of keycaps. In addition to keycaps of a different color, there are also those with a more textured surface. Non-slip keycaps with a rubberized surface texture provide better control when gaming. Other important factors when purchasing a PC keyboard include:
- The transfer rate of PC keyboards usually depends on the connection. While PS2 keyboards were standard in the past, USB 3.0 keyboards are now more common.
- Anti-ghosting ensures that multiple keys can be pressed simultaneously. Some PC keyboards allow only a limited number of keys to be pressed simultaneously, while others can process all keys on the PC keyboard at the same time.
- A USB hub and audio connection can be built into the PC keyboard itself, so that no port is occupied by the USB connection and additional peripherals such as headsets can be conveniently connected directly to the PC keyboard.
- In addition to the German layout of a keyboard, American, English, French, and sometimes even Russian layouts are usually available.
