Best Black Friday ergonomic keyboard deals

If you're someone who frequently spends hours typing at a time, an ergonomic keyboard is a good investment. This is because these keyboards are designed to maximize comfort and minimize stress and fatigue buildup in your hands, ensuring that you'll be able to work long periods without cramps or pain.

Best Black Friday gaming keyboard deals

PC players and, in some cases, even Xbox ones can enjoy the benefits of a quality gaming keyboard, which include switches with fast actuation, textured keycaps, macro keys, durable designs and materials, snazzy RGB lighting, and more.

Best Black Friday wireless keyboard deals

If you want to cut the cord while working or while gaming, a wireless keyboard will be right up your alley. You'll have to deal with managing battery life, but the tradeoff is that you'll be able to get typing or playing without any cables whatsoever.

Getting the best Black Friday keyboard deal for you

Getting any good Black Friday keyboard deal is great, but ultimately what matters most is that it's a good deal for you. Therefore, there are a few things you need to think about before pulling the trigger.

Firstly, give yourself a budget. In most cases, it won't be worth going over your budget just because there's a deal on a very pricey keyboard. Instead, try to look for deals where a keyboard that's usually not in your price range has fallen into it thanks to the sale. Alternatively, you can opt for keyboards that were already in range of your budget but have become even more affordable thanks to Black Friday.

Secondly, think hard about what you need out of a new keyboard. If you want something that's optimized for all-day typing, you'll likely be best off with an ergonomic keyboard. However, if you like to play games a lot too, then it may be worth it to go with a gaming keyboard instead since they're still great for typing and are much better for gaming than ergonomic keyboards. Lastly, if the freedom provided by cutting the cord would be useful for you, consider opting for something wireless.

Finally, consider the bigger picture. While having a good keyboard is incredibly important, it's not the only thing that matters. If you need them, make sure that you're including space in your budget for deals on other peripherals, too. If you need to spend a little less on a keyboard to do that, that's fine — it's better to roll with a balanced suite of well-rounded accessories than having to pair a premium keyboard with, say, a low-quality mouse.
