We have talked a lot in the previous series of posts about gaming and in particular gaming with laptops. If you read those last posts you will know that my personnel recommendation, if you are looking for a computer system for which the main use will be gaming, is to go for a desktop system. This is because you will get a much better price performance ratio, more bang for the buck.  And the money you save on the key components, CPU, GPU and memory for the desktop system can then be put towards gaming peripherals, like gaming keyboards, mice, joysticks etc.

Good gaming peripherals essential

Now I cannot  profess to having a deep knowledge or experience of gaming, apart from the odd long game of Civilization. But having talked to some gamers and my own sons they tell me that good gaming peripherals can make a big difference.  Take keyboards for instance, they need to be good quality to take all the bashing that a gamer is going to give it, but they also have to be responsive and easy to use.  While the best often provide gaming specials like programmable keys which can be assigned on an as required basis to command macros. These can be extremely useful to the under pressure gamer.

Logitech G11 Gaming Keyboard

One really good and rated gaming keyboard is the Logitech G11 Gaming Keyboard which has nice big responsive keys,  and a whole array of programmable keys and provides the tools to get the best from these.  If you are looking for a gaming keyboard it may be worth taking a good look.

Have you bought a keyboard specifically to support gaming? Do you want to tell us about it?
