Affiliate Disclosure

Effective Date: May 20, 2026 Website: Gaming Keyboards (https://www.gamingkeyboards.net)

1. Introduction

Thank you for visiting Gaming Keyboards, an independent gaming keyboard review blog operated at https://gamingkeyboards.net (the “Website,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we earn revenue through affiliate marketing, the relationships we maintain with third-party retailers, and how those relationships affect the content you read here.

We believe in full transparency with our readers. This page is provided to comply with the United States Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) guidelines, including the FTC’s “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising” (16 CFR Part 255), as well as the disclosure requirements of the affiliate networks we participate in. By making our financial relationships clear and easy to find, we want you to make informed purchasing decisions with complete confidence in our recommendations.

If you have any questions about this disclosure, you can contact us anytime at contact@gamingkeyboards.net.

2. What Are Affiliate Links

An affiliate link is a special tracking URL that identifies our website as the referring source when a visitor clicks through to a third-party retailer. If a qualifying purchase is made after clicking that link, the retailer pays us a small commission as a thank-you for referring the customer.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click an affiliate link on Gaming Keyboards, a small piece of data (commonly called a “cookie”) may be placed in your browser. This cookie tells the retailer that you arrived through our website. If you complete a purchase within the retailer’s cookie window, we earn a referral commission on that sale.

Affiliate links are a standard, widely used method of supporting online publishers, journalists, and review websites. They allow independent publishers like us to continue creating in-depth content without charging readers a subscription fee.

3. How We Use Affiliate Links on This Website

Gaming Keyboards publishes editorial content focused on gaming keyboard reviews, comparisons, buying guides, mechanical switch breakdowns, and product recommendations. Within this content, we may include affiliate links to:

  • Specific keyboards we have reviewed, tested, or recommend
  • Related accessories such as keycaps, switches, wrist rests, and cables
  • Retailers that sell the products discussed in our articles
  • Curated product lists in our “best of” and “top picks” guides

Affiliate links may appear as standard text links, product names, buttons, banners, images, or comparison tables. Where required by law, we may also include phrases such as “As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases” near the relevant content.

4. Affiliate Programs We Participate In

Gaming Keyboards participates in several affiliate networks and programs. These include, but are not limited to:

4.1 Amazon Associates

Gaming Keyboards is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc., or its affiliates.

4.2 Other Affiliate Networks

In addition to Amazon Associates, we may participate in other reputable affiliate networks and direct partnerships with brands and retailers in the technology, gaming peripherals, and computer hardware industries. These may include, but are not limited to, manufacturer-direct programs, specialty keyboard retailers, and third-party affiliate platforms.

The specific list of partners may change over time as our content evolves and as new products and retailers become available.

4.3 Google AdSense

Gaming Keyboards also displays advertising served by Google AdSense and its partner ad networks. These advertisements are separate from our affiliate links. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this and other websites. For more information, please review our Privacy Policy and Google’s Privacy & Terms.

5. No Extra Cost to Users

Using our affiliate links never costs you anything extra.

The price you pay for any product is exactly the same whether you click an affiliate link on Gaming Keyboards or go directly to the retailer’s website. The commission we earn is paid by the retailer out of their existing marketing budget, not added to your purchase price.

In some cases, the affiliate programs we work with provide exclusive coupon codes or promotional offers. When this happens, using our link may actually save you money rather than cost more.

6. Editorial Independence and Honest Reviews

Our editorial integrity is non-negotiable.

6.1 Reviews Reflect Our Genuine Opinions

All reviews, ratings, comparisons, and recommendations published on Gaming Keyboards reflect the honest opinions, findings, and experiences of our editorial team. We test products based on real-world use, performance, build quality, value, and suitability for the intended audience.

6.2 No Pay-for-Praise

We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews. Brands and retailers cannot purchase favorable coverage, ratings, or rankings on this website. A product’s inclusion in our content is based on its merit, not on the size of the commission we might earn from it.

6.3 Commissions Do Not Influence Coverage

The fact that we may earn a commission on a product does not influence whether we recommend it. If a product underperforms, fails our testing, or simply isn’t worth the money, we will say so plainly — even if it means losing potential affiliate revenue.

6.4 Sponsored Content

If we ever publish content that is sponsored, paid for, or otherwise materially influenced by a third party, that content will be clearly and conspicuously labeled as such (for example, “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” or “Advertisement”).

7. Why We Use Affiliate Links

Producing thorough, well-researched gaming keyboard content takes significant time and resources. Affiliate commissions help us cover:

  • Purchasing keyboards and accessories for hands-on testing
  • Website hosting, security, and maintenance costs
  • Photography, video production, and editorial expenses
  • Continued research into new products and industry developments

This revenue model allows us to keep Gaming Keyboards completely free for readers, with no paywalls, subscription fees, or required registrations to access our content.

8. Transparency Commitment

We are committed to maintaining a high standard of transparency with our audience. This includes:

  • Clearly identifying our website as an affiliate publisher
  • Disclosing material connections with retailers and brands
  • Updating this Affiliate Disclosure as our partnerships evolve
  • Responding promptly to reader questions about our editorial process

If you ever feel that a piece of content on Gaming Keyboards is not properly disclosed, please let us know at contact@gamingkeyboards.net. We take such feedback seriously and will review the content promptly.

9. Third-Party Links Disclaimer

Gaming Keyboards contains links to third-party websites operated by retailers, manufacturers, and other publishers. These third-party websites are not under our control.

We are not responsible for:

  • The content, accuracy, or availability of any third-party website
  • The privacy practices, terms, or policies of any third-party retailer
  • The quality, condition, delivery, or warranty of any product purchased through a third-party site
  • Any transaction, dispute, or interaction between you and a third-party retailer

When you click a link that takes you away from Gaming Keyboards, you are subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policy of the destination website. We strongly encourage you to read those policies before completing any purchase or sharing personal information.
