Best keyboards for gaming in 2025

If you play games often, you've probably heard pro players talk about the keyboards they use for matches. However, what really makes a gaming keyboard better than a regular one? Here are five gaming keyboards to consider the next time you're looking to change your setup.

According to Consumer Tech Review, the Wooting 60HE+ is a top pick for one of the best gaming keyboards of 2025. The Consumer Tech Review YouTube channel, run by a content creator named Los, is all about keyboards, setups, and everything technology.

His latest video featuring the top keyboards of year described how the Wooting 60HE+ is great for modifications. It's also tray-mounted to provide a good amount of dampening. The Wooting 60HE+ uses Lekker L60 switches, which are very smooth as well.

In terms of the software for Wooting 60HE+, Consumer Tech Review called it "the best software in the entire industry for gaming keyboards." It has a lot of customization options, it's easy to navigate, and regularly updates its modes for advanced keys. One standout is Tachyon Mode, which helps reduce latency for faster response times.

For players on a budget, the Epomaker X Aula F75 is one of the best choices on Amazon, according to Switch and Click on YouTube. The Switch and Click channel, known for its keyboard expertise, praised the Epomaker X Aula F75 for its affordable price, "creamy sound," and overall feel. The keyboard also uses Leobog Reaper switches, which adds to its satisfying sound.

"It also has a squishy feel when you type on it," Switch and Click explained. "And this is not on accident, either. It's actually a feature called a gasket mount. This makes it softer to type on and sound better, too."

The Epomaker X Aula F75 comes in a variety of colors and includes a useful knob at the top-right corner for volume adjustments as well.

Consumer Tech Review mentioned this particular keyboard in a video dedicated to budget gaming options, too. It's even praised on the Toasty Bros YouTube channel.

Both Switch and Click and Consumer Tech Review highlighted the Wooting 80HE+ as a fantastic gaming keyboard. Switch and Click, for example, described it as "decked out with the best software, the best hardware, and a huge online community for support."

The base edition of the Wooting 80HE has a plastic case, but players can upgrade that to a zinc alloy one. Switch and Click noted that this keyboard even raised over €7.5 million in pre-sales in 32 days. The official Wooting YouTube channel talked about this milestone in a video as well.

When it comes to the Wooting 80HE's software, it offers the same high level of customization that Consumer Tech Review praised earlier. Switch and Click noted that gamers can tweak just about everything, including adjustable actuation distances and rapid trigger. Switch and Click added that the keyboard is very mod-friendly, too.

Next, the Yunzii B75 Pro Wireless deserves a mention, according to a recent video by the Toasty Bros channel on YouTube. It's only second to the aforementioned Epomaker X Aula F75. In the video, this keyboard was praised for its aesthetic, price, and sound. It uses a plastic case, but that's alright for the price.

Other features of the Yunzii B75 Pro Wireless that Toasty Bros highlighted include a knob at the top-right corner for sound and RGB adjustments, two adjustable keyboard feet, and anti-slip pads.

The video also included a typing test, giving folks a chance to hear how the Yunzii B75 Pro Wireless sounds in action.

Finally, the Pulsar PCMK 2 HE TKL has a bunch of pros, according to BadSeed Tech. This YouTube channel is dedicated to high-end PC gaming peripherals, components, and so on. In a video dedicated to keyboards, BadSeed Tech provided alternatives to the aforementioned Wooting brand.

The Pulsar PCMK 2 HE TKL keyboard is compact due to no media controls, is a plastic build with a thick aluminum top player, has double-shot PBT keycaps, has LEDs that face south, and uses the Gateron x Pulsar magnetic switches. These switches are quite stable and light. Additionally, folks can swamp these with other Hall Effect switches that are on the high end.

"[It] sounds pretty good," BadSeed Tech continued, referring to his keyboard test. "It's got a cleaner, clackier, high-pitched sound." He then went over how there are three layers for dampening sound.

Overall, although this keyboard lacks a bit of personality, it's nonetheless a great alternative due to its price, performance, sound, hot-swap options, and web-based software.

That's all for now. Good luck with your gaming adventures!
