Yeah but Kensington Slim isn´t be a gaming keyboard... Sorry i didn't mention it. I am looking about gaming keyboard.

"gaming" meaning what to you? Usually it's nothing but marketing for fancy lights and larger plastic case. Any keyboard you like can be used for gaming. What exact features are you looking for?

Do a search for "low profile gaming keyboard" see what comes up that you like.

They also have shorter travel and low profile mechanical keyboards...

Hi,
Thank you for tips.
Gaming= i mean some keyboard with n-key rollover, anti-ghosting ect..These function dont have all keyboards, or?
Some keyboard with similar profile like sidewinder X4, maybe with membrane caps because i don´t like mechanical keyboard. With wrist pad...

Yes you are correct not all keyboards have the n-key rollover feature. Web search is the way to go here, 99% of the times it's the same thing that everyone else uses to answer questions, just takes some looking and reading. If you don't find anything you like exactly, not likely anyone else will either with all of your requirements. Take away the need for low profile keys and you have many more options, same thing for mechanical, there are good keyboards with low profile mechanical switches.

Issue with your search is that very very few keyboards with low profile keys are made for the gaming market, they are more for general office work and to look nice to people for the sleekness. Gamers, programmers and people that do a lot of typing generally like the mechanical keyboards with a nice keypress feedback and feel.

It's a bit like trying to find a Toyota Corolla with Brembo brakes and Recaro racing seats, the markets for the products are just different.
