15 Best Keyboards for PC (2024): Gaming and Work

Logitech makes some of my favorite keyboards, and the G Pro X TKL (or “tenkeyless,” meaning it lacks a Numpad) is among the best gaming keyboards. It has vibrant RGB LED backlit keys, and a choice of clicky, tactile, or linear switches, and it uses Logitech’s Lightspeed wireless adapter for competitive gaming-level response time. I love that the adapter lets you pair multiple devices with a single, low-profile USB dongle, so you don’t need to use all your ports for your various accessories.

The build quality of this keyboard is slick and stylish. It’s minimal and doesn’t take up much space on your desk, and it has a subtle metallic rim around the edge that gives it a little flair that most plain keyboards lack. The volume wheel in the upper right is smooth and easy to reach, and along the top are handy media controls so you can pause your music when you finally get into a game after a long queue. For my tastes, the more clicky-clacky a keyboard, the better, and the Black Clicky switches have served me well. Each keypress feels like I’m sending tiny thunder down to my game. However, if you prefer something softer, you can choose another switch type. The only thing I dislike is the lack of a Numpad—yes, I’m one of those weirdos who prefers having a Numpad. But for most people, this is the keyboard to beat.

★ Alternative: The Logitech Pro X 60 for $180 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has virtually all the benefits of the Pro X TKL in a smaller, more compact package. It keeps the volume wheel, Game mode switch, and Bluetooth/Lightspeed buttons by moving them to the edges of the keyboard, while slimming the whole thing down to a 60 percent layout.
