1. Know Why You Need a Keyboard

Are you buying one for gaming? Work? Or both?
Understanding your main purpose will guide the kind of keyboard you really need.

2. Learn About Switch Types

There are 3 main switch types you should know:

• Linear – Smooth and quiet, often for gaming
  
  

• Tactile – Has a slight bump, great for typing
  
  

• Clicky – Loud with a distinct click, fun for some!
  
  

Each has its own feel  try to test them if you can.

3. Consider Customization

Want your keyboard to match your vibe?
Custom boards let you swap keycaps, tune switches, and more. It’s fun, and you can build a board that truly feels yours.

4. Pay Attention to Latency

If you're into competitive games, look into keyboards with rapid trigger or hall effect switches.
They respond faster and can give you a solid edge in fast-paced matches.

5. Think About Extra Features

Do you want RGB? Bluetooth? Hot-swap?
Make sure the keyboard has features you’ll actually use not just what looks cool.

Final Advice

Before buying, take time to watch reviews or read hands-on articles.
And if possible, test the keyboard yourself at a store or a keyboard event.
The more you explore, the better your final choice will be.
