Do you feel like the keyboard that came with your laptop is holding you back from gaming greatness? If so, you might want to take the Lenovo Legion K500 gaming keyboard for a spin. You want a keyboard that reacts as quickly as you do to all the gaming action — and feels good after hours of play. The Legion K500 keyboard checks all of these boxes, and the $64.99 price point (normally $109.99) is a pretty sweet deal for what you get. Here are a few more reasons why the K500 should be on your holiday list if you want to up your game.

The Legion K500 is a solid piece of equipment that won’t hold you back in a firefight, while still looking spiffy on your desk. Want to make it look even better? Just add a new lighting profile, and you can customize each and every key and seriously make it your own.
Game uninterrupted with the game mode button

If you’re a serious gamer — or are buying for one — the game mode button on the Legion K500 is a huge perk. It basically prevents usage of certain keys like Windows, Shift+Tab, and Alt+Tab, in case you accidentally hit them while you’re deep in combat.
Stay in the zone with a comfy tilt stand and palm rest

If comfort is important to you for those long sessions, the K500 is a dream. The easy tilt stand goes from 2.58 to eight degrees and keeps your wrists nicely angled. The K500 also comes with a detachable plastic palm rest that feels fantastic and non-slip feet that stay put when things heat up.
