Premium gaming keyboards aren’t cheap, but spending more than $100 on one can be a little bit much for some gamers. That’s why we like this deal on the Logitech G316 X 98, a ‘board featuring mechanical switches, doubleshot keycaps, and stylish Lightsync RGB lighting, with a $29.76 discount at Amazon. The deal price for the G316 X 98 is $90.23, a sub-$100 cost that is the lowest seen so far from the retailer.

Why we like the Logitech G316 X 98

Compact 98% footprint

Full-sized keyboards can be problematic for gamers limited in desk space. The Logitech G316 X 98 has a 98 percent keyboard layout, but it’s compact, trimming unnecessary space. The result is a keyboard that includes a numpad and all the keys you’d expect, but is less likely to collide with your mouse while you’re gaming.

Responsive and tactile

There are two key reasons you buy a premium keyboard. The first is performance, exemplified by the G316 X 98’s lightning-quick 8 kHz report rate, resulting in super-responsive performance. That’s backed by tactile, hot-swappable mechanical switches, kept enjoyably quiet thanks to sound-dampening silicone and foam.

Durable and stylish

The second reason for spending on a premium keyboard is usually durability. Here, the G316 X 98 features double-shot PBT keycaps, which are engineered to be wear and shine-resistant – something to look for if you’re a heavy keyboard user, in-game or outside of it.

What to consider before you buy

Our two points to note are the keyboard footprint and the price. While a 98 percent keyboard will take up less space on your desk, this size isn’t for everyone. If you regularly use yours for non-gaming tasks, the keyboard may feel a little cramped. On, the price, if you’re spending this much on a gaming keyboard, it needs to work for you. And full-sized alternatives are available for a little extra expenditure.
