10 Best Mechanical Keyboards 2024 | UK Gaming Blogger Reviewed

The selling point of this product is its "Lightspeed" wireless technology which will ensure you have no lag or latency issues whatsoever, whether you're gaming or working on an important project. The Romer-G brown-style key switches also make typing or carrying out gameplay functions effortless. We also love the additional media and macro keys, which are invaluable for gaming. 

The lack of backlighting means you can use the same device at work and home without turning your workplace into an impromptu disco while also extending your battery life! A real winner at both the office and at home.

This is another great budget option that you can buy for under £40! The TKL size makes it more portable than your average keyboard, but it's not so small that you'll have to adapt your usual typing style. 

The blue key switches are extremely responsive and are perfect for those who like to hear clicking as they're typing. Compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Mac, this product is a no-brainer at this price point that will certainly stand the test of time.

Velocifire has created this delightful looking keyboard that'll look just as good in the office as at any gaming event! The tactile brown key switches are perfect for gamers and typists alike. While the limited colour lighting won't appeal to everyone, we think the combination of teal and navy blue looks great with the black keyboard. 

We also love that this keyboard is compatible with almost all operating systems, which can't be said for a lot of our other recommendations. Best of all though, is the fact that you can pick it up for under £35!

We love the sturdy steel design of this HyperX Alloy Elite 2, especially because you get such good build quality for a very reasonable price. Whether you want to use it for video editing, watching movies or gaming, you'll find it speedy, responsive and durable for all your activities. 

In addition to a volume wheel, dedicated media controls and red key switches, you get dynamic RGB lighting effects, which is an improvement to the previous HyperX Alloy Elite model. If you're a gamer, streamer or multi-tasker, this is the keyboard for you as it allows for more control at your fingertips!

Looking like something right out of the Death Star, this high-grade aluminium keyboard is incredibly stylish and feels robust. Instead of a glossy plastic finish like most of our other recommendations, it has an almost sand-blasted grainy texture - great for warding off unwanted fingerprints or sweat stains! 

As well as looking great, it has top-notch technical aspects too. The brown switch keys are smooth and tactile, making typing a breeze. It has multiple media buttons and an oversized volume dial that is easily accessible whilst gaming. Another nifty feature is the extra-long cable that allows you to move it around your workspace easily.

The Cooler Master SK622 is our favourite 60% keyboard on the market, without a doubt! You can choose between black or silver designs, but black is particularly dazzling. It's made with aluminium so it's surprisingly solid considering its petite stature. 

The small size makes this a naturally more ergonomic keyboard, as your hands aren't required to stretch very far - about 12 or 13 cm, in comparison to 30 cm on a full-sized keyboard. Again, using this product is going to be a steep learning curve for some, but we reckon it's worth the effort!

A firm favourite of the wireless gaming community, this product's straightforward design and technical prowess are often highly praised. In particular, it has a stable Bluetooth connection that has minimal latency (screen delay) and lagging issues, as well as brilliant blue backlighting.

However, this product isn't made from the best quality materials - which is a shame considering that it's pretty expensive! The cheap plastic palm rest isn't held together very well, and it sadly lets the rest of the keyboard down.

If you're looking for a mechanical keyboard with all the bells and whistles, then the Razer BlackWidow Elite has you covered! With slightly elevated keys that show its colourful backlighting, easily accessible media controls, and a stylish dial that controls the volume and lighting levels, this is a very aesthetically pleasing product.

This is a rather large keyboard that requires a lot of room so it's not suitable for those who are short on space. The green switches do require a little more force than the average so this is one for serious gamers rather than a work option.

Equipped with a cosy palm rest and an aluminium finish that's cool to the touch, this keyboard has lots of attractive qualities that'll particularly appeal to gamers. The Romer-G tactile switches, which are designed to be similar to brown switches, require a decent amount of pressure to work.  

Unfortunately, this product is missing the customisable macro keys that many gamers find essential. Also, the software that is used to tailor the keyboard can be a bit tricky to get your head around. Overall though, this is a quiet and stealthy-looking gaming keyboard.

The HYBRID Type-S has a bit of a cult-like following online thanks to its simple yet chic design and a multitude of customisation options. As a 60% sized product, it's tiny and incredibly easy to travel with. On top of this, it has tactile key switches which make a satisfying thudding sound as you type.

The obvious downside is that learning to type on this product is going to be a steep learning curve if you're used to a standard-sized keyboard and there are also a fair amount of new functions to learn. As it's rather expensive, you'll want to make sure this is a challenge you're willing to take on!
