64 keyboards · 8 makers · 12 switch types
Good keyboards outlast the computers they're plugged into, and used ones cost less. Here's which boards to buy and what to check first.
A well-made keyboard is built for tens of millions of keystrokes, and the good ones from Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China change hands all the time. What a listing photo can’t show is a key that double-types, a space bar that rattles or a battery that’s tired. Each page covers one board with its story, its versions and what to check before you pay.
