The best keyboard for FPS at around £60?

[thetankshell]

I am looking for a new keyboard to use for gaming at the £60 price range. I mainly play BF4 and Planetside 2. Any ideas?

Well i have the Razer tartarus keypad not a keyboard but thats what i use for BF4. I would have to say if your going to get a keypad I'd recommend spending a little more on the Razer orbweaver because it has an extra row of buttons i wish i had(for 1-6) but i just managed to map the ones i needed on the round thumb stick.

Razer Tartarus:

Razer Orbweaver:

Right now they have open box orbweavers for $80 damn i wish i waited now but here it is:

Or if you only want a keyboard what are you looking for your keys to be? chicklet, mechanical, or membrane? wired \wireless preference?

I have been lead to believe mechanical keyboards are the best for FPS. So I would really like a mechanical keyboards in and around this price range.

This is a good keyboard: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CH-9000040-UK-Vengeance-Performance-Mechanical/dp/B00DOTQ15M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398551809&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+k65
The Red switches are a linear switch so it's easy to rapidly spam a key.

+1, the Corsair Vengeance is a GREAT keyboard. Especially for the price.

There's a Razer keyboard (forgot the name) that is pricey but it is mechanical and durable.

Razer black widows are also great mechanical.

i would also recommend the razor series. mechanical is the best so if you are willing to spend a little bit more then go for the blackwidow. other wise the deathstalker is also a really good choice

Razer keyboards aren't really worth it. The older versions tended to break fairly quickly for a mechanical keyboard, but I'm pretty sure they fixed that issue with the newer 2013 and 2014 models. However, just that history of bad quality keyboards despite the fast that they're such a big brand makes many people uneasy when buying their keyboards. Also, their keyboards are expensive and you can usually find a better or just as good board at the same price or cheaper.

To be honest i think they have there quality control for the most part under control i own a razer mamba mouse(basically wireless deathadder) and a razer tartarus; sometimes i feel with these peripherals i have a unfair advantage over someone using different peripherals....at least in bf4....with them someone who has never played the game before and hops on and uses my peripherals would have a better chance at success and getting more kills then if i let them use my logitech junk......I LOVE LOVE LOVE my razer mamba and i love my tartarus also but still wish it has another row of buttons like the orbweaver.....

To each his own!!

this seems to lack any mention of the Steelseries merc stealth keyboard, its a pretty solid all rounder started using my first one back when it was Zboard and yet this is only my second one .

Good choice if you picked the black widow. I just recently upgraded to the Razer black widow ultimate stealth and couldn't be happier love this keyboard!
