Product Description: 

Gaming keyboards are highly customizable keyboards that are designed to be more accessible than a standard keyboard. They feature programmable hot key and macro key shortcuts that allow users to run complex computer tasks with a single stroke on their keyboard—reducing the need to use a mouse. Additionally, gaming keyboards typically feature an ergonomic design, and *mechanical models have ultra-sensitive keys that require less force to type than a standard keyboard.

*Gaming keyboards are classified as either "mechanical" or "membrane." The mechanical models require less force and are typically more user-friendly; membrane keyboards actually require more physical force to type than a standard keyboard.
