The best keyboards for PC of 2024

Giving you everything you could ever need in a keyboard, a variety of colour options, switches, and all for a very reasonable price. Epomaker's collaboration with Aula gives way to their F76, combining all of the most desirable features on the modern keyboard market into one great product.

It offers three ways to connect, if you'd prefer it plugged directly into your computer, connecting though Bluetooth or through the included receiver, switching modes is simple especially if you share a keyboard across multiple setups. This gives you more versatility than most otherwireless keyboard on the market.

If you'd prefer a quiet and subdued typing experience, opting for the ice vein linear switches is your best bet, though there are options for clicky switches for a more "gamer" feel, as well as tactile for those who are after a more subdued typing experience but still like the responsiveness of clicky switches. The included RGB backlighting can be edited or even turned off at any time through the included software. Switching from work to gaming has never been easier.

Made with high-quality ABS plastic, the included acoustic dampening pads across the gasket-mounted PCB means your typing experience will be as cushioned as possible, with minimal pinging across the board (literally).

For a little more cash, the Arteck 60 per cent keyboard is perfect for travelling light and keeping your productivity high. With the same build quality and design as the Arteck full-size keyboard, but without the number pad, this smaller Arteck wireless keyboard is ideal for moving about the room, lounging back in your chair and casually scrolling through social media, without being remotely bulky or obtrusive at all.

With the loss of the number pad, however, those with more number-oriented jobs might want the speed and convenience of a dedicated number pad, so it's worth getting the slightly more expensive model.

That being said, for a light, comfortable and well-made 60 per cent keyboard, the Arteck wireless keyboard is just for you.

If you're desk-bound most of the day, though you're not moving and lifting heavy objects, your hands and wrists can certainly begin to develop soreness after hours of typing.

To alleviate pain and discomfort, you should absolutely consider switching over to Logitech's brilliant Ergonomic desktop keyboard, a brilliantly innovative keyboard that's made to fit human hands.

Though it may look strange, this brilliant ergonomic keyboard contours to the shape of your hands, giving you a much more comfortable typing experience overall. What's more, there's also a plush wrist rest, which prevents all sorts of wrist issues in the long run, including carpal tunnel.

Perfect for the office or home, though this great keyboard for PCs may take some getting used to, it's worth using to minimise straining and boost your productivity.

If your desk space is limited or you prefer the simplicity of a smallish keyboard, the RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61 Plus is simply brilliant at its price. Mechanical, made well and ultra-responsive, this speedy linear keyboard is great for home office workers to get through whatever work they're doing as fast as possible, and doubles as a great gaming option.

The two colourways offer a nice pop of colour for any desk, a departure from the typical dark greys and bl

Thanks to its size and RGB lighting, however, the battery life of RK61 isn't amazing at 13 hours, which is particularly low for a keyboard, though it has good standby times. But with a good cable and some patience, you'll find there's enough for whatever you set your heart on doing.

The switches are a membrane construction, though still give a satisfying bottom out, allowing for a quiet (but not silent) typing experience, especially useful for busy offices where the surrounding noise is high enough as it is.

The adjustable feet allow you to change the height of the keyboard for improved ergonomics at your desk, avoiding back pains as you go. Though the construction is a little cheap, as long as you know this is a no-frills option and are just looking for a basic option to get your inputs in, look no further.

If the included Cherry MX Red switches are great for gaming with an ultra-smooth travel, but if you'd prefer something else you can change out the switches at any time thanks to the hotswap PCB design.

On top of those switches are durable PBT double-shot keycaps, meaning the legends will never wear out since it's all plastic and no printing.

If you want a wide range of connectivity while maintaining outstanding quality, the Galaxy70 from Epomaker has everything you'll need with a fully aluminium outer case, high-quality PBT keycaps and pre-lubed mechanical switches, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's expensive. But at only £99, it offers great value as well as great materials.

Olivia reviewed the keyboard, and had this to say:

"When I first saw the Galaxy 70, for the price it was advertised, at first I was admittedly very sceptical. I’d heard of the keyboards before, but never used one, and it all seemed a little too good to be true. As someone who knows far more about the workings of keyboards than any normal person, I have never been so happy to be proven wrong.

"When it comes to recommending it, to me, this is the best keyboard on the market for the price right now. Yes the software may be a bit clunky, but that's a very forgivable flaw when you look at the sum of the keyboard's parts. I wish I'd discovered this keyboard before I sunk money into another brand, as this offers everything I want in a keyboard, with great materials and a great cost."
