How do I look for a good keyboard?

| Been using a basic Logitech keyboard for most of my life but my sibling and I have been playing a lot of fighting games lately and the keyboard is starting to not feel up to par. We'll probably get a leverless controller eventually, but for now I just want to upgrade this keyboard.

I don't know how to search for one though. What's the terms used for this? I want something responsive and where multiple buttons can be pressed at once. I don't want fancy lights.


| Logitech K120, otherwise a skill issue.

Yeah that's exactly the one I have. Sometimes it doesn't register my input, I guess because I press too lightly? I'd like something more responsive, if that makes sense?


| "multiple buttons can be pressed at once" is called key rollover. Closest to "responcive" would probably be actuation force.
May I recommend looking into mechanical keyboards?


| Adding to what the other g/u/rl is saying, if you do look into mechanical keyboards spend a bit on a key switch tester. Mech keyboards vary a lot in how they feel like if they're tactile or loud. Knew someone who bought an mx red switch keyboard, didn't like it, and returned it for an mx brown.


| get a controller now

Time to buy a new one then, good thing they are cheap.


| if you dont want fancy lights you either have to buy something old, something extremely cheap, or build it yourself. Everything has fancy lights now, if you like it or not.


| I normally use my eyes to look for one.

Thanks for the info! There really is a lot of mechanical keyboard variations, huh? I should probably look for an offline store where I can just try these directly.

I actually did end up buying a leverless controller after posting this thread, haha. I still want a better keyboard eventually, though.

The main question is your budget. If you want something cheap (like, below 70$) than your best choice is good membrain keeb.
If you want something better - that would cost more. At that point I would recommend getting switch tester and 1 keycap.
