Top Performing Brands in the Channel (by Total Searches) Entry-Level Keyboards (Quarter 3 2024)

Modern keyboards are packed with exciting features like vibrant RGB lighting and mechanical designs that offer satisfying, audible feedback with every keystroke. While these innovations attract many users, there remains a strong demand for simple, no-nonsense keyboards that focus purely on function. In this edition of Eagle Eye BI, we explore the world of entry-level keyboards – those with an average trade price under £25 – offering a detailed look at their growing performance in the market. Interest in these affordable keyboards has been on the rise, with user searches increasing by 9% between Q3 and Q4 of 2023. This steady growth underscores the continued demand for reliable and budget- friendly options. Brands like Trust, HP, and Phillips have seen the fastest surge in user interest, solidifying their standing as key players in this competitive, cost-conscious segment, among top searched brands like Logitech and Microsoft. Additionally, it’s common to find these entry-level keyboards bundled with mice, providing cost-effective solutions for businesses outfitting new offices or equipping new employees. For many customers, these combos offer a practical and efficient way to meet basic office needs without compromising on quality or affordability.
