What is the plus of a gaming keyboard?

A lot of them tout lower latency. It might be true, though I haven't noticed too much. It's probably more true with mechanical keyboards.

I'm more concerned about the look and feel of a keyboard. I'm very picky. I'm a fan of the mechanical keyboards and the way they feel and sound, but the computer is in the bedroom, so I don't own one out of respect for my wife (They're loud, like the IBM keyboards of the 80s and 90s)

I also like other features such as lighted keys, extra buttons for macros and such, and I like my G510's display. You can make it display a lot of different stuff like FPS, CPU and other hardware usage, temps, even news headlines. I mostly use it to display the time so my evening gaming session doesn't turn into 4am

A cool but unnecessary feature of my keyboard is being able to change the backlight color to any RGB color.
