I’m a bit of a sicko when it comes to keyboards, and have built the kind of collection that makes my wife duck for cover when I bring them up in conversation.
Why am I telling you this? Well, Dear RPS reader, it’s not a therapy session. No, I’ve found some more deals (of course), and specifically, I’ve found the keyboard and mouse I’m writing this very article on, as well as one of my gaming keyboards of choice.
When it comes to keyboards, I’d consider Keychron my “first love”. Now, I’ve got eight of the things, and the one I keep coming back to is the Keychron Q6 Max.
This full-sized keyboard has a numberpad, the company’s oh-so-satisfying-to-turn volume knob (behave), and hot-swappable switches.
The Q6 Max is big and beautiful, but doesn’t come cheap. Thankfully, it’s reduced by 15% at Amazon right now, meaning you can snap it up for $203.98 rather than $239.99.
Next up, Logitech’s MX Master 4 is almost certainly on the horizon following a series of leaks, but the MX Master 3S is a dependable workhorse just like the MX Master 3 before it.
The most obviously noticeable difference this time is that the sound of the clicks has been dampened considerably, making it an ideal mouse for any office where you’re spending time working around other people.
You can get it for $99.99 now, down from $119.99, or £72.99 in the UK. I use it mostly for work, with shortcuts for Photoshop edits and all that fun stuff assignable within Logi Options.
Still, neither of these are gaming hardware, so I found a solid deal on one of my favorite gaming keyboards as well that’s also comfortable for everyday use.
The SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 might be the kind of name that you have to split into multiple breaths, but don’t let the over-the-top RGB lighting in the product picture fool you.
It’s a slick keyboard, comfortable for work, and then has adjustable actuations, presets assignable via SteelSeries GG, and more. There’s an OLED screen which I use for pointing out what I’m listening to on Spotify, but you do you!
It’s down to $199.95 from $239.99, a saving of 17%, and even down to £116.92 in the UK.
