Frequently Asked Questions 💬

What's the difference between mechanical and membrane?

Mechanical keyboards have individual switches under each key (more responsive, more durable, unique typing feel). Membrane keyboards (such as the G213 or Magma) have a membrane under each key (cheaper, quieter, perfect for beginners).

Is it worth getting a wireless keyboard?

If you love ultra-clean set-ups and move your keyboard around a lot, yes! The Corsair K65 PLUS has a battery life of several weeks and can switch between wired and Bluetooth/2.4GHz. On the downside, it's more expensive.

What is hot-swappable?

It's the ability to change the switches on your keyboard without soldering. The K65 PLUS has it - you can test different switches and find the ones that suit you perfectly. It's great for perfectionists!

Corsair or Turtle Beach?

Corsair = absolute premium, powerful iCUE software, legendary durability (but more expensive). Turtle Beach = excellent value for money, intelligent RGB AIMO technology, great to start with. Both are excellent brands!

Is RGB really useful?

Technically, no, but honestly... it's a blast. And intelligent RGB (AIMO from Turtle Beach, iCUE from Corsair) can adapt to your games for maximum immersion. So why not?

AZERTY or QWERTY?

If you're in France and you write in French, AZERTY without hesitation. All the keyboards in this top 5 are French AZERTY!

What is anti-ghosting?

This is what allows you to press several keys simultaneously without the keyboard crashing. Absolutely essential for gaming - all our keyboards have it.
