The realm of enthusiast-grade keyboards is chock-full of options, with experiences ranging from the budget board, all the way to the ultra-premium, containing all the bells and whistles. Pulsar’s XBOARD QS falls squarely at the premium end of that spectrum, and despite its hefty price tag, it doesn’t disappoint. Pulsar put extensive effort into making this thing feel great to use, and everything from the typing experience to the quick-switching feature feels responsive and works great out of the box.

The aforementioned quick-switching feature is the main calling card of this keyboard; the ability to connect two different PCs and swap the input between them seamlessly does come in handy for someone like me, who works at a two PC setup. The integrated USB 2.0 hub further plants this keyboard firmly in “content creator” territory, allowing one to connect additional devices, like a stream deck. For the budding content creator, this keyboard is an absolute knockout, but even for those just looking for a keyboard that feels excellent to type and game on, as long as the steep price doesn’t scare you off, look no further.
