Keyboard and touchpad: RGB-minus
Medion’s keyboard has large buttons, a numberpad and anti-ghosting alongside RGB LED backlighting, and the buttons are fast, pretty snappy, and comfortable. For all-day gaming it’s easily good enough.
Good enough, though, isn’t quite enough to compete. The Alienware and Razer units omit numberpads, but they offer faster and crisper typing – and the Alienware can be upgraded with a proper mechanical keyboard.
Both rigs have more versatile per-key RGB LED backlighting, while the Medion makes do with unsophisticated four-zone lights. And, as ever, the trackpad is fine, but anyone who wants to enjoy games should buy a USB mouse.
