Six Keyboards Under $20

There is really no question that most users out there are simply not that particular about the keyboard they use. And since this is the case, why not work at finding them for a decent price?

It’s true.

We’re finicky about keyboards. We write a lot of stories here, and the right keyboard makes typing a few thousand words a week much easier to bear. We also play a few PC games around here. Yes, we realize that you’re shocked at that idea, because it’s obvious that we’re such a serious bunch here, ranting about Windows Vista or trying to crash power supplies.

The needs of PC gamers and the needs of touch typists aren’t always the same. A touch typist needs to be able to, well, type—often at fairly high speeds with reliable keypresses and tactile feedback. A gamer needs a responsive keyboard with a layout that’s not too odd. Therein lies the problem with dedicated gamer keyboards, like the Wolf Claw. A keyboard like Logitech’s G15 is a good compromise, or even Microsoft’s Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, but all these keyboards tend to be pricey. Source: ExtremeTech
