I've been looking for a wireless keyboard I can use for gaming. Something with decent key feel and response. Any ideas?
thanks
 
I'm going to bite the bullet and try a wireless "gaming" KB out
IOGear's Kaliber GKM602R
Newegg had the package on sale for $40 bucks, so why not? I'll keep the mouse as a spare, I have no intention of replacing the Logi G602
 
Wireless and gaming don't mix to be honest, unless you are strictly a MMO / rpg / single player gamer - and it's fine for that. The only thing "gaming" about that keyboard is the "cool" shape. It is still probably rubber dome and as with all wireless devices it does have input lag. It will be great for casual games, but it isn't going to win you any Counter Strike tournaments.
 
I am going to agree 100% with HeavenCloud.

What makes real gaming equipment is the reduction in delay. If you are trying to be a competitive gamer than wireless will not work well for you.

There are plenty of wireless devices that do add latency, but wireless does not inherently add delay. Logitech has had wireless gaming mice for over a decade that don't add any latency. The G700s has lower latency than the majority of wired gaming mice.

But I don't know of any good gaming grade wireless keyboards. I don't think anyone has made one.
 
I'm a casual gamer...and don't give a rat's butt about wining MP matches, All I care about is at the end of my day, reclining back in the theater chair and playing Fallout4 on the big screen. :D
I don't need lighting response...just smooth play.
 
Well I am on a recliner in front of a 32" LED LCD screen which serves as my computer monitor. The last thing I want is a bunch of wires draping over me everywhere. Bad enough to have to have a board with the keyboard and mouse on my lap!

I never understood the latency arguments. It simply has never, in all my years of using wireless equipment, been an issue. I have had Microsoft and Logitech. Have an MK30 Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse right now.

The only problem I have, which I wish to solve, is playing Unreal Tournament 2015, swishing the mouse to turn and it doesn't turn! It could be a pre-alpha issue, but I have experienced this before as I recall.

All I want is a mouse that will turn when I turn. As far as a keyboard I just want something comfortable for my hands. I don't need anything fancy, but I do want something that will last more than 6 months. I also need more buttons on my mouse.

So fi any of you have suggestions, please post them. Also to the OP please tell me about your experience with your new keyboard.

Thanks!
 
I just bought the Royal Kludge RK-61 for my Steam Link and so far its the bee's knee's. I wanted something with rechargable batteries, bluetooth, and small. It checks all the boxes and feels great.
