Treat yourself to a clicky, premium typing experience.

We're already well underway with Prime Day and while there haven't been too many of the best mechanical keyboards discounted for gamers and typists, we compiled a shortlist of only the keyboards worth considering.
Razer BlackWidow TE Chroma v2
Orange mechanical switches, Chroma lighting support, ten-keyless design with some gaming features, what more do you need? This is a great keyboard from Razer that gets the job done.
ROCCAT Vulcan 121 Aimo
This gaming keyboard from ROCCAT comes rocking premium switches and solid build quality, allowing for fast actuation for a quick in-game response. This is also a good pick if you support the ROCCAT esports organization.
Redragon K556
Even the more affordable mechanical keyboards have pretty good switches and this Redragon is a great example. It has custom keycaps, brown switches, and 18 lighting modes for the ultimate experience.
Razer BlackWidow Elite
