The entry level EVGA Z12 keyboard with IP32 Spill-Resistant to protect against accidental mishaps while gaming. With 5 zone RGB, dedicated media keys, macro keys, and Cherry stem compatible key caps the Z12 is a great introduction into EVGA's Z series gaming keyboards.

RTINGS

Looking for a non-mechanical option? We recommend the EVGA Z12, the best non-mechanical keyboard for gaming that we've tested. This full-size board comes with rubber dome switches, which offer a smoother and softer feel over their mechanical counterparts. Though, it's important to note that this switch type doesn't offer the same tactile feedback that you might get from a clicky or tactile switch.

While this keyboard's latency might be a tad too high for competitive gameplay, it's well-suited for casual gaming. The RGB backlighting is customizable in zones using the companion software, and it shines through the keys, making them easy to see in the dark. Also, it comes with features usually found on more premium keyboards like full macro-programmability, dedicated media keys, and a Game Mode, which disables the Windows key.

Unfortunately, its build quality feels a bit cheap, which is normal given its budget price point. The whole body is plastic, and the ABS keycaps are prone to becoming slippery and shiny over time. With that said, it's a good choice with great features if you're looking for a non-mechanical board to use for gaming.

If you don't want to spend the extra money on mechanical switches, the best cheap gaming keyboard we've tested is the EVGA Z12. It uses EVGA's proprietary membrane switches, which feel light to press and actuate easily, making them a good choice for gaming as keypresses feel very responsive.

This full-size keyboard comes with a few extra features, like dedicated media keys and a Game Mode feature that disables the Windows key, so you won't accidentally minimize your game. Using the companion software, you can assign macros to any key, and customize the RGB backlighting. However, you can only customize the backlighting in five zones as the keys aren't individually lit.

Unfortunately, its latency is high for competitive gaming, but casual gamers will have no problem. Also, its plastic frame flexes a bit and the ABS keycaps feel cheap, but that's normal considering its cheap price point. With that said, it's a good choice if you're looking for an inexpensive starter board to put into your gaming setup.

While the EVGA Z12 may be the cheapest gaming keyboard we've tested, it certainly isn't the worst. It's quite incredible how well this keyboard performs, considering it frequently goes on sale at a sub-$20 price point. Its latency is low enough for casual gaming, and the companion software allows you to customize the RGB backlighting in zones as well as program macros to any key. Plus, there's a column of dedicated macro keys on the left for easier access.

Unlike the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition, which has optical-mechanical switches, the EVGA has rubber dome switches. Rubber dome switches are a silent alternative to mechanical switches, making this keyboard a great choice for kids or gamers in shared spaces like dorm rooms. They're a lot heavier to press and don't feel as snappy as mechanical switches.

While many gaming keyboards can cost a small fortune, there are options available that don't break the bank, like the EVGA Z12. In addition to being the cheapest gaming keyboard we've tested, it has many features that even more expensive boards lack, like RGB backlighting, a braided cable, and a column of five macro keys on the left. Plus, along the top, there are dedicated media keys and a &quot;Game Mode&quot; toggle, which prevents you from accidentally minimizing your game when enabled.

In terms of its actual in-game performance, its latency isn't as low as higher-end options, but it's still good enough for casual gaming or playing slower-paced games. It uses rubber dome switches, which feel less crisp and satisfying than mechanical switches. However, the rubber domes in this board are surprisingly light and pleasant to type on while also being extremely quiet. All told, it's an excellent entry-level unit for a new or younger gamer that gives you a taste of the common gaming features without the steep price tag.

 Being a budget-friendly option, it lacks some features the higher-end options have, like individually lit keys and an included wrist rest, but you still get zone-lit RGB backlighting, and you can buy a wrist rest separately. It uses the EVGA Unleash RGB software, which is basic software that you can use to customize the backlighting or reprogram any of the keys, including the five extra macro keys.

EVGA Z12

If you don't want to spend the extra money on mechanical switches, the best cheap gaming keyboard we've tested is the EVGA Z12. It uses EVGA's proprietary membrane switches, which feel light to press and actuate easily, making them a good choice for gaming as keypresses feel very responsive.

The 7 Best Gaming Keyboards - Spring 2022

 Not all keyboards fare as well, -- lookin' at you, Dell and Lenovo -- but after a week or so of using it about 6+ hours a day, I can't see any smearing or discoloration.  When I received the keyboard, the box was pretty beat up. The inner boxes looked fine, but at least two keys were 'popped off' and freely floating inside the bag with the keyboard. I was able to pop these back on with prior knowledge of mechanical keyboards

 It would have made 100x more sense to put it on the right side, and not just for the reason of accidental pressing. Let me explain:  If you've ever bound any key on your mouse (such as a forward/back button) or used the mouse/keyboard for work tasks, you'll likely have used your mouse-thumb to hit enter or something similar on the keypad. The macro keys would have made a lot more sense on that side, allowing for quick taps of your macro keys with your mouse-hand, ensuring the placement of your left hand was always in the right spot. Just like cupholders in cars, I am pretty sure these designs look good on paper but suck in real-world practicality

I think this keyboard is great. It feels solid when typing, makes a satisfying sound when keys are pressed, and has really nice lighting effects, compared to my old NPET RGB keyboard. I'm not an overly greasy person. That being said, the plastic material is, surprisingly, not getting smeared with skin grease as I expected, given the type of plastic it is

  This is a good keyboard. It feels nice, it sounds nice, the colors are fluid, and the construction feels solid. The placement of those macro keys prevents this from being a 5-star, in my book. Oh, and if you use a standard keyboard at another location, prepare to be frustrated for the opposite reason -- getting used to the hand placement with the macros on the left, only to have your hand be off with your other keyboards

I Want to Love This Keyboard

.  Still it's one of the sturdiest keyboards I've ever used. It also weighs a ton compared to other keyboards I've used in the past. The parts don't feel cheap and the keys have some bounce

Great Keyboard... But....

 The brightness is great and adjustable without additional softwear. Over all this keyboard is an above average entry-level keyboard and if you are on a budget is probably the best bang for your buck you can get.

Smaller mechanical keyboard worth the money

 I originally assumed I would be buying something lower in quality but I was wrong. It's made of a hard sturdy plastic, with a decent RGB array. Keys are smaller they typical but not by much. The RGB features are really good with the EVGA software, easy to use and simple

Best "Budget" Keyboard

This keyboard is feels good, not so loud and it has RGB. The shipment came to me in it's original box with a label slapped on it so box abit dang up, but the keyboard works. RGB light seems okay but not as bright as I wanted it to be, still it looks awesome. I got this for working the office and now everyone knows, I work and play hard
