10. VicTsing Mechanical Keyboard
Number 10 on our list of the best gaming keyboard of 2022 is a mechanical keyboard. At less than $40,00 this is an amazing budget keyboard for any gamer. Not only does it look elegant, but it’s also spill/dustproof, meaning you have no need to panic if you spill your mountain dew all over the keyboard while gaming or streaming.
This VicTsing keyboard also has a detachable wrist rest for extra support. While that is nice, it would be even nice if you could change the backlight color on this mechanical keyboard but unfortunately, you are stuck with the red color.
Pros:
- Affordable
- Braided cable
- High quality
Cons:
- Non changeable backlight

6. Razer Ornata Chroma: Mecha-Membrane
If you like colors then the Razer Ornata Chroma is for you. Each key can be adjusted to your desire with an insane amount of color choices. However, the software that comes with it is said to be difficult to use. The Razer software is fine for color tuning, but anything else might give you a little bit of trouble.
The keys feel great, the wrist rest is magnetic and can be removed as well which is great. The only downside is that the keys might need to be lubed every now and then to avoid sticking but that is a rare and minor inconvenience.
Pros:
- Individual backlit keys
- Amazing feel when typing
Cons:
- Terrible software
- Keys can stick if not lubed enough
