Look, picking a keyboard is personal. You really should try one out before dropping any serious cash. It doesn't matter how big the brand is or how high the price tag is if the thing just feels wrong to you. On the flip side, a cheap unit might actually be perfect if you can hammer away at it endlessly and it still holds up—like this Genius model here:

The selection over the last few years has been pretty solid, and every keyboard caters to a specific crowd:

Honestly, the best move would be to find one in a store and actually touch it to see if it clicks...
I don't even game, but from a purely build-quality standpoint, the Asus Echelon stands out to me.

If all that sounds like too much work, you won't go wrong starting with something basic, like that first Genius model. Just start gaming, see what happens, and eventually look for a permanent solution. 😁
