For wider movements and saving space on the desk, a 60% keyboard is recommended. The Corsair K65 Mini is one of the best 60% keyboards on the market.

You don't need to worry about the missing keys such as the function keys, num-pad, arrow keys, and more. All of them can be pressed by combining the 'Fn' and various keys on the keyboard which are marked on the keys facing towards the user.

This form factor is slowly becoming the standard for gamers because this allows the keyboard to be kept at various angles, giving up more space to move the mouse around.

The keyboard connects via a detachable USB Type-C to Type-A and has a polling rate of 8000 Hz. There are various models with different switches including Cherry MX Red, Silent Red, Speed Silver, Brown, and Blue, and you can buy the one that suits you best as they all feel and sound different.


2) Corsair K63 Wireless - $109

A Corsair keyboard with all the features you'd need and more. It has a polling rate of 4000 Hz, which means it will register every press 4000 times every second, making it one of the most responsive keyboards on the market.

It is built with an aluminum top plate and PBT plastic keycaps with a large magnetic wrist rest. It also has dedicated media controls, including a metal scroll wheel for volume. A USB-passthrough is included in this keyboard so that you can connect more USB devices directly into it instead of using up one more USB port on your PC.

It is a mechanical-optical keyboard, which means it uses infrared light to detect a keypress instead of a metal contact. This increases the keyboard's lifespan and removes debounces. Though it is an expensive keyboard at $200, it has great quality and is very suitable for Apex Legends.
