What keyboard does Athieno use in Rainbow Six Siege?

Athieno plays on a MelGeek Made68 Pro, a 68-key compact mechanical keyboard.

Is a compact keyboard suitable for tactical shooters?

Yes; a 68-key layout keeps your hands closer together and lets you reach utility keys without moving your arm, which helps in fast-paced games like Rainbow Six Siege.

What are the benefits of a 68-key keyboard for gaming?

Compact boards free up mouse space, reduce hand travel distance, and suit players who prioritise desk real estate and quick access to binds over a full-size layout.

Can I find a cheaper alternative to the MelGeek Made68 Pro?

Budget 68-key mechanical keyboards exist from various brands, though the MelGeek sits in the mid-range for build quality and customisation options.
