A quality computer keyboard forms the basis for the comfortable and efficient use of more than just a PC. You can choose from a range of options, from office keyboards, multimedia keyboards, gaming keyboards and compact or mini keyboards. Here's some advice on how to choose the right keyboard to meet all your requirements.
Keyboards differ from each other in a number of aspects. We will discuss all the important ones, including the type of keyboard, the connection method and the functional equipment. First, let's look at the types of keyboards and the differences between them.
Office Keyboards
Office keyboards are best suited for general text work. They are available in many designs and with different functions. Some office keyboards may also have backlighting and multimedia keys.
Computer Keyboards: Gaming Keyboards
Gaming keyboards are computer keywords that have to satisfy the most demanding gamers. These keyboards have the fastest keystroke response, attractive designs, macro buttons and anti-ghosting features. Many gaming keyboard models also offer fully controllable backlighting across the entire RGB spectrum.
Computer Keyboards: Multimedia Keyboards
Multimedia computer keyboards have multimedia keys to easily control the playback of content on your computer. These keys include volume control, skip track and play/stop buttons.

Wired vs wireless Computer Keyboards - Which Ones are Best for You?
Whether to buy a wired or wireless computer keyboard - that's a key question. The range of PC keyboards, whether wired or wireless, is very wide and so it really depends on your preference. What are the advantages of the USB cable variants and what more does a wireless keyboard add?
Wired Computer Keyboards
A wired keyboard uses a cable with a USB port to connect to the computer. It is one of the most widely used PC peripherals ever. Compared to wireless keyboards, wired keyboards tend to be cheaper. What other benefits do they bring?
With wired keyboards, you don't have to worry about recharging or replacing batteries.
The wired connection still delivers a lower key response. 100% stability is of course a given.
Wireless Computer Keyboards
A wireless computer keyboard connects to your computer using WiFi or Bluetooth technology. A WiFi keyboard comes with a USB receiver that must be connected to the computer. Bluetooth keyboards do not require a receiver.
Wireless keyboards are not limited by the length of the cable
Another advantage is the ability to connect wireless keyboards to multiple devices at the same time.
Choosing a Computer Keyboard for a Mac or a Console
Looking for an Apple computer keyboard or a keyboard to use with your gaming console? We also offer keyboards with MacOS, Xbox and PlayStation support.
A computer keyboard for consoles adds comfortable typing and computer control to Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
The offer is also complemented by computer keyboards for TVs and keyboards meant for use with tablets.
Keyboard and mouse sets are the ideal way to get two indispensable computer peripherals at a bargain price. You can choose both wired and wireless sets.
A Mechanical Computer Keyboard
A mechanical computer keyboard differs according to the switches used. They have several valuable qualities in their favour: high durability and longevity, a short activation distance, low activation force, high stroke and also a strong tactile response.

Other Computer Keyboard Types
Mechanical keyboards are not the only option available in terms of key type. Membrane, chiclet or virtual (laser) keyboards are also available.
A virtual keyboard is a compact device that projects keys onto a pad.
The Chiclet or island computer keyboard has keys in the style of separate squares with soft edges.
A Computer Keyboard Specific to a Country or Language
Computer Keyboards by localization gives you the opportunity to choose keyboards according to the language or country you prefer. Keyboards with a UK layout differ from keyboards with a US layout. Many other keyboard variations exist, such as Czech, Hungarian, German or French.

If you're looking for a portable option, try a silicone or folding keyboard.
Computer Keyboard Accessories
Computer keyboard accessories are a varied category containing pads, Bluetooth adapters, spare USB cables, key binders and cleaning products.
Other Useful Features of Computer Keyboards
Computer keyboards, whether wired or wireless, gaming or office, multimedia or programmable, can have many useful functions and features. Which are the most important?
Backlit keyboards are great for typing in low-light conditions.
With the included USB Hub, you can, for example, plug in a flash drive or charge your phone via it.
Macro keys allow a wide range of configurations. You can perform even complex sequences with a single key.
