Pink gaming keyboards may seem a silly topic for an entire article, but trust us, it’s worthwhile. 20+ years ago everything PC-related was beige and 10+ years ago everything came in black. in the past 5 years, we’ve seen explosive growth in RGB lighting, allowing for gamers to choose from 16.8m colors to personalize their fans, cases, GPUs, etc. It’s almost ubiquitous in gaming peripherals too. However, lighting is only half the battle, and to fully commit to an aesthetic, we need more variance in the colors of the actual hardware.
Luckily, peripheral companies have begun to understand this, and have been getting more and more creative with their designs and colorways. Gaming keyboards, in particular, have experienced growth here with the ever-increasing popularity of aftermarket keycaps and other such upgrades. This has resulted in functionally limitless potential. So join us, friends, as we explore the best pink gaming keyboards of 2022.

In-depth Review
Razer BlackWidow V3 – Quartz
Razer BlackWidow V3 – Quartz
Of course, the pink coloring isn’t the only reason we included the Blackwidow V3 in this list. We also enjoy the clicky green switches (Razer Yellows, a linear switch type is also available). Additionally, it ships with Doubleshot keycaps and the switch housings are transparent allowing for really vivid RGB, this is further enhanced by the frameless design, making it one of the most well-illuminated gaming keyboards on the market these days.
An oft-forgotten feature is present on the Blackwidow too: media controls. These comprise a tactile volume roller and play/pause button on the upper left of the keyboard. This means instant control of audio, which is a huge gaming bonus as tabbing out to pause or adjust the volume is super annoying and can often spell death for you, which results in furious chastisement from your teammates. We also like that it comes with a wrist rest. Most people don’t use wrist rests, but the fact that it comes with it at no extra cost is a nice move by the Singaporean peripheral legend.

Of course, the keyboard is as pink as they come, but the RGB takes it to the next level. The keyboard’s perimeter houses an RGB lightbar that covers the entire distance around the board, with an extra broad section on the top. Switching the lighting to pink will make this board borderline unusable, but the most pink, the pinkest, in fact.
But it doesn’t stop there, dear reader. The i-rocks K71M ships with your choice of Gateron switches, a brand venerated by mechanical keyboard enthusiasts. Other enthusiast-grade aspects include the pre-installed sound-absorbing panel and a premium companion software that can be used to control lighting, record macros, create keybinds, and more.
Redragon K617 Fizz
Redragon K617 Fizz
As mentioned in the main body of this page, 60% keyboards are all the rage these days, especially for gamers. Luckily enough Redragon has managed to cover both 60% and budget picks in this list. List efficiency aside, we also had to include it for its hotswappabillity, comprehensive RGB, and convenient accompanying software package.
Other positive features aside from the adorable color scheme and compact size are the linear switches. These are ideal for FPS games as they typically feature the lightest actuation force and quickest debounce time. This makes for lightning-fast response times and improved player performance.
Hotswappability is the biggest thing here. Key switches are the easiest and cheapest way to upgrade the feel of your keyboard and give the typing and gaming experience a boost. If you dislike linear switches, then simply swap them out for your preferred type of switch and get going.
