It's time to talk about mechanical keyboards. They are characterized by a clearer return than membrane due to the excellent principle of operation. The basis is mechanically opened contacts, due to which the tactile connection is felt more clearly. The keys of such models do not have backlash and work until the end of their stroke. This not only has a positive effect on the gameplay, but also helps when working in copywriting. A longer period of use and a high pressing resource served as an impetus for a price increase, which is quite logical, since the quality of mechanical models is an order of magnitude higher, and the return is better. However, having bought such a model, you can immediately forget about the noise created as a result of the workflow.

Keyboards with MX Cherry switches are the most common today. There are models for every taste, the difference lies in the course of the keys, the effort when pressed and the sounds when triggered.At the same time, options with similar characteristics are grouped not by parameters, but by color, which is much more convenient for the buyer. We have prepared for you a rating of the best mechanical keyboards for gaming and work.

Top 10. Logitech G G413 Carbon

Rating (2022): 4.02
Accounted for 2668 reviews from resources: Amazon, DNS, Citylink, Yandex.Market, Onliner
  • Average price: 7105 rubles.
  • Country: Switzerland
  • Switch type: Romer-G
  • Communication: wired, USB
  • Digital block: yes

If everything is bad with the company in the budget segment, then good, but controversial models start from 5000 rubles. The G413, for example, has a simple yet stylish Skeleton-style look and features backlit keys, with little to no space underneath, making cleaning easy – you can just blow compressed air around and dust is gone. Of the additional options, there is an extendable cable to which you can connect a card reader. Keycaps are very thin, so be careful when installing. The main materials are aluminum (the main plate) and high-quality plastic, which does not bend or wear out for a long time. As for the switches, everything is ambiguous here. There is a specific feedback, expressed in a low response threshold and an extremely small key travel. Partially, the damping mustache saves the situation, smoothing out the blow at the end of the stroke. The keyboard comes with backlighting, but it's not RGB.

Pros and cons
  • Nice backlight
  • The gap sits tight
  • Laconic design
  • Additional keycaps
  • Good build quality
  • Double clicks may appear
  • Long buttons have play
  • Keycaps are very thin - easy to break

  • Average price: 3990 rubles.
  • Country: China
  • Switch Type: Jixian Red
  • Communication: wired, USB
  • Numeric block: no

The futuristic-looking keyboard has branded switches that are in no way inferior to MX. By pressing the device does not seem cheap and leaves a pleasant impression with prolonged use. The large Enter and Space keys suffer from small flaws, they feel backlash. However, this is a disease of many models. The keyboard comes with a backlight, and it's great. High-quality LEDs have their own color, which gives rich color and pleases the eye. The Skeleton-style design is made without a number pad. F-block shifted to the right. The model does not bend even with considerable effort, the body is made of aluminum and thick plastic. Equipped with red switches, which are considered among the quietest in their segment. The names of the keys are not painted and are located immediately in the keycaps. This makes them more durable, after a couple of years of use, you will not even think that something has been erased there.

Pros and cons
  • Braided cable
  • Excellent backlight
  • Keycaps don't erase
  • Problems appear after a year
  • Noisy rattling gap
  • No digital block

The cable is braided, the overall rigidity of the case is at a good level, although some reviews note that the keyboard can be bent if desired.If you're looking for a mechanical keyboard with the smoothest possible key travel, this is the best one - just put your finger on the button, and it will register pressing.

  • Average price: 10990 rubles.
  • Country: USA
  • Switch Type: Cherry MX Speed ​​Silver
  • Communication: wired, USB
  • Digital block: yes

Introducing the best keyboard for gamers according to many users. It is not compact, it has a separate numeric keypad and multimedia keys. The assembly uses durable metal and high-quality plastic, which had little effect on weight. It features Cherry MX Speed ​​with a short throw and instant response, ideal for gamers. Along with RGB backlight comes proprietary software from the company. Buyers in their reviews note the indescribable feeling of printing and resistance to pollution. Accidental spillage of water or tea is not able to disable it. The keyboard comes with 2 USB wires, but it's not entirely clear why this is done. The main disadvantage is the small area of ​​the Enter button, but here you already need to look at personal feelings. Finally, Corsair has released a product that matches the price tag in quality.

Pros and cons
  • Lots of extra keys
  • Rich equipment
  • Suitable for gamers
  • Resistant to pollution
  • Shortcut Enter key
  • High price

Best price

This is the most budget mechanical keyboard in our top. The closest model costs almost twice as much as this one.

  • Average price: 2070 rubles.
  • Country: China
  • Switch Type: Outemu Blue
  • Communication: wired, USB
  • Numeric block: no

The most budget-friendly mechanical keyboard yet backlit (with six colors and 10 modes), metal body and pleasant tactile sensations. The reviews say that pressing the keys is accompanied by a clear click - just like mechanical switches should be. Long buttons respond equally well to touch when pressed even in the center of the key, even from the edge. The backlight is not functional enough - the manufacturer has provided a wide range of modes for its operation, but they do not allow you to set one color for the entire keyboard - only a rainbow. Russian letters are printed in small print, and for those who are going to type a lot without knowing the touch typing method, this can cause inconvenience.

Pros and cons
  • Great price tag
  • Many lighting modes
  • Metal housing
  • Clear key response
  • Can't make single color lighting
  • Small font Russian layout

The backlight is moderately bright - it does not hit the eyes and improves the visibility of the layout, although in some modes it works too actively. Software from A4Tech functions correctly and is quite convenient. This keyboard does not have a wrist rest.

  • Average price: 10775 rubles.
  • Country: USA
  • Switch Type: Cherry MX Red
  • Communication: Wired, USB
  • Digital block: yes

One of the best mechanical keyboards. It is expensive, with a huge number of keys - 108 pieces, backlit, with a long cable and a USB hub. From it you can adjust the volume and control multimedia. There is a detachable wrist rest, which is rubberized, pleasant to the touch and is great for most users.The backlighting of the keyboard here is not just an aesthetic function, but also a practical one - thanks to it, the signatures on the keys become more visible. The long keys make a strumming sound due to the stabilizers. The software is functional enough, but to customize everything for yourself, you will have to spend a lot of time.

Pros and cons
  • There is a volume wheel and multimedia keys
  • Not too noisy work
  • Good backlighting with customizable per key
  • Passthrough USB
  • Marked white keypad

Optimal price-quality ratio

Inexpensive model with stable operation, pleasant key travel, additional keys and a full-fledged number pad. It works correctly, and the build quality is excellent. Other mechanical keyboards with similar functionality and quality levels are more expensive.

  • Average price: 3750 rubles.
  • Country: China
  • Switch Type: Outemu Blue
  • Communication: wired, USB
  • Digital block: yes

Good value for money mechanical keyboard, which is great as a first try. Its design uses Outemu switches, an analogue of Cherry MX Blue. Simplicity is complemented by a standard keyboard layout with no bells and whistles. The F keys can be used as multimedia keys, since the developers have provided such an opportunity at the software level. Weight is almost 1400 grams, which is too much for the model.The second revision dropped significantly in quality, almost 50% of buyers in their reviews complain about backlash and incorrect operation of the model. It is better to look for the version of the first revision, but as a first mechanic it is good. Those who like to work and play in silence will not like it either, the pressing sound is very loud. All indicators are placed on the left panel.

Pros and cons
  • Nice response
  • Buttons are well protected from abrasion
  • Space does not always return to the top
  • noisy
