Razer BlackWidow V4

The Razer BlackWidow V4 is priced just above Rs 15,000 but it is one of the best gaming keyboards you can buy right now in this price range.

Corsair K70 RGB Pro

The Corsair K70 RGB Pro ticks all the essential boxes for an exquisite gaming keyboard. It rocks Cherry MX Speed RGBSilver switches which have an actuation distance of 1.2mm. The PBT double-shot keycaps feel solid and wear-resistant. You also get a soft-touch palm rest with the keyboard that can be magnetically attached to its shell with ease. The per-key RGB backlights on this keyboard are not in-your-face and can be set to a static profile when you need to focus on gameplay.
MSI Vigor GK30
Price: Rs 11,579 on Amazon
The MSI Vigor GK30 has mecha-membrane switches which replicate the tactile feel of a mechanical keyboard while reducing the sound. If you’re looking for a muted gaming keyboard, this is the one for you. Another reason why you should consider buying the GK30 is its water-resistance chops. This keyboard has a drain hole that lets the liquids out of the shell if you accidentally drop a drink on it. Talking about the aesthetics, this keyboard has 6 RGB zones which can be customised by the user.
Razer Huntsman Mini
Price: Rs 15,000 on Amazon
This portable gaming keyboard from Razer has a 60% form factor and is suited for gamers who want more desk space. The Huntsman Mini achieves this form factor by getting rid of the function keys, home cluster, and numpad. The media controls, function keys, macros, brightness control, and other functionalities can be accessed from the regular keys. The shell of the Huntsman Mini is made out of aluminium and has a matte finish. It also features Razer Optical Switches (Clicky, Linear, Analog) and Doubleshot PBT keycaps.
Redragon RED-K550
Price: Rs 14,900 on Amazon
Redragon is one of the biggest players in the gaming peripherals industry. Its RED-K550 mechanical gaming keyboard is one of the best you can buy under Rs 15,000. Its casing is made out of aircraft-grade aluminium (as claimed by Redragon) and the user-replaceable mechanical switches can withstand rough use. The switches on this keyboard do not produce an overtly clicky sound, making it ideal for shared spaces. To top it off, there are 12 programmable macro keys on this keyboard along with 18 backlight modes.
Redragon HORUS K609
Price: Rs 14,606 on Amazon
The Redragon HORUS K609 has a 68-key layout which reduces its form factor to 65%, making it ideal for smaller desks. There are dedicated media keys on the keyboard but no vertical numpad. The volume scroller on the keyboard case is a nice addition as well. The keycaps on this keyboard are slimmer than their traditional counterparts and the low-profile red switches offer a good response. Talking about connectivity, you can pair the K606 to your PC using a USB Type-C cable, Bluetooth 3.0/5.0, and a 2.4GHz wireless receiver.
Razer BlackWidow V3
Price: Rs 14,779 on Amazon
The Razer BlackWidow V3 features Green and Yellow mechanical switches. The former offers tactile and clicky feedback along with an accurate response. The latter is suited for a muted response and smoother keystrokes with no tactile bump. The UV coating on the keycaps makes them resistant to wear. The digital roller on the keyboard can be used to adjust the volume and carry out other customised tasks. The RGB lighting on this keyboard looks stunning, mostly due to the transparent switch housing.
Adium CK61 RGB
Price: Rs 14,978 on Amazon
This portable gaming keyboard has 61 keys that make use of advanced mechanical Blue switches. The Red Switch variant costs upwards of Rs 17,000. The per-key lighting on this keyboard looks amazing. If we’re only considering the RGB lighting design, the Adium CK61 makes the case for being the best-looking gaming keyboard under Rs 15,000. It can adapt its lighting to match the mood of the game. On top of that, the CK61 is durable and can easily withstand rough use.

The HyperX’s body is made out of aircraft-grade aluminium, giving it a premium feel while also being very rigid. You can connect the keyboard to your PC using a USB Type-C cable which can be easily detached from its body. On top of that, you can save up to 3 light profiles on the keyboard.
