You should use a wireless keyboard if you don’t have enough ports on your PC or want to reduce clutter on your iPad or Surface tablet. With wireless keyboards, you don’t need to worry about fussy cables tangling around your feet. In addition, if you’re looking for a gaming keyboard, you should find a wireless model that offers the best performance and connectivity range/types. With our reviews, you can find some of the best wireless keyboards on the market right now, beginning with the G915 Lightspeed from Logitech.
Omoton Bluetooth Keyboard
You can get the Omoton keyboard for the absolute cheapest price you can find. Though it initially looks like an Apple Magic Keyboard clone, it’s entirely plastic, not aluminium like Apple’s. The Omoton is relatively thin and light, so it’s easy to stuff it into a backpack or computer bag. Two AAA batteries (not included) are claimed to last 30 days. Omoton Bluetooth Keyboard appears to have been designed for iOS but should work with macOS, Windows, and Android.
Razer Blackwidow V3 Pro Wireless
This Razer keyboard combines professional (and highly programmable) Chrome RGB lighting and durable green mechanical switches for a responsive feel that gamers will love. Because of that, you can easily complement your gaming setup with this keyboard without sacrificing performance.
As well as Bluetooth integration to save battery life, HyperSpeed wireless to reduce lag when playing competitive games, and USB-C for charging, the BlackWidow V3 Pro features three separate connections. Extended sessions will be made more comfortable by the wrist rest. The top plate is made of military-grade metal, and 8 million clicks are expected from the switches!
Apple Magic Keyboard
It’s everything Apple fans (and others) could want in a Bluetooth keyboard. AA batteries were inserted into older Magic Keyboards via a rolled base. Its rechargeable battery allows it to lay flatter than previous versions. A slight increase in weight has been added to Apple’s upgraded keys when typing. Although the arrow keys have been redesigned, the overall benefits are hard to ignore.
A Bluetooth battery can last a month, too, so you don’t have to worry about the keyboard wearing out. It’s slightly larger than other options on our list, but it’s compatible with iOS and macOS. You should buy this keyboard if you are an Apple fan.
Logitech K400
Logitech’s K400 Wireless Keyboard has received high praise in terms of convenience and mobility. Its lightweight design and minimal size allow it to be easily transported anywhere. It also boasts a variety of easy-to-use features. We often use our devices at home while relaxing.
As much as we like to work on a computer, we don’t want to sit at a desk or table and push a mouse. By adding a 3.5-inch touchpad, the Logitech K400 eliminates this problem, letting you browse the web as you type. With a 33-foot range, 86 convenient keys, and a USB dongle, the Logitech K400 facilitates great web browsing.
Logitech G915 Lightspeed
It has a low profile, a numeric keypad, RGB backlighting, and a mechanical design that makes it hard for you to guess that it’s a wireless keyboard. A top plate with an aluminium top is excellent for durability and has indicators to show what mode you are in and battery life. Providing gamers with a wireless solution they can afford, the keyboard is designed so it won’t slow them down.
The G915 Lightspeed can last up to 30 hours on a three-hour charge. As with mechanical keyboards, Logitech designed the keyboard to provide excellent feedback at the point of actuation. Your customized settings will always be available in the onboard memory. Besides the volume control, there are a few onboard media controls.
Logitech MX Mechanical
The Logitech MX keyboards and gaming keyboards we already love. A near-perfect mechanical wireless keyboard is created by combining Logitech’s G-series and MX series into the MX Mechanical. In addition to working with both Mac and Windows systems, this keyboard can pair with three devices. As well as being backlit, it does not have distracting RGB lights but instead uses plain white patterns.
Logitech Craft Advanced Wireless
With the Craft model, Logitech has created a unique keyboard designed for digital creatives who work with a lot of art, design, and editing at work. In this case, the critical feature is the small, direct-to-the-keyboard “crown” dial, which lets you change various program settings. Using them will speed up your work by enabling swift actions.
You can quickly switch between up to three devices using the Craft Advanced Wireless keyboard, which is perfect if you work on a complex project. Using motion sensors, the backlighting only illuminates when your hands are approaching, preventing you from being distracted when working intensively.
Microsoft Surface Keyboard
Several Surface-branded convertible tablets are available from Microsoft. Among the high-end options is the Surface Book 23, which offers an extraordinary battery life, and the Surface Go, which is highly portable and one of the most affordable. The Surface Keyboard from Microsoft is a great accessory whether you own one of those laptops.
Two AAA batteries (included) are required for the keyboard’s battery life of up to 12 months. It’s not as durable as a mechanical keyboard, but it should last a long time if used remotely. In an office environment, Bluetooth 4.0 can reach up to 23 feet but has a range of up to 50 feet in the open. It is compatible with Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
Logitech MX Keys
MX Keys is another excellent keyboard from Logitech. Both PCs and Macs can use this keyboard; it even has a layout that works for both. Having USB-C connectivity also makes it easier to charge it quickly. In addition to having backlighting, this keyboard is also made by Logitech. You can therefore type at any time of the day. Also, you can connect desktops, laptops, and tablets simultaneously, allowing you to work on different computers quickly.
Are Wireless Keyboards Good?
Your purchase will determine that. A $20 product won’t offer a premium experience (though you’ll save money if you buy one). Logitech and Razer are both companies with fine-tuned proprietary wireless connections, which make wireless keyboards better now than ever before. Since wireless devices remove the cords, they are constantly refined so that their response is indistinguishable from wired devices. The keyboard switches designed by Logitech and Razer are also more accurate and durable than those manufactured by other companies.
However, cheap products have cheap components. In a budget model, a switch will not last as long as one in a premium model. Cooler Master products, Logitech products, Ducky products, Steelseries products, and Razer products are some of our favourites. Some of their keyboards are great, but not all. You’ll need to choose the right one according to your preferences and budget.
Bluetooth and RF wireless keyboards are available from some manufacturers. When latency and speed are essential, Bluetooth is better suited to PCs than RF. RF specifications explicitly designed for enterprise use, like Logitech’s enterprise-ready Logi Bolt, enable connections to be reliable and secure even in congested wireless conditions.
Units with higher prices tend to last longer than those with lower price components. Battery life depends on the keyboard’s use, model, and type. Battery life can be reduced over time with rechargeable units. Duracell or Energizer batteries outlast budget batteries. Battery life can be extended substantially by turning off the backlighting.
Generally, battery life varies from hours to years. The most common method of connecting a wireless keyboard is via Bluetooth or by using a USB dongle. Wireless keyboards are typically not related to computers via Bluetooth. Those models don’t use Bluetooth, so they ship with a USB dongle. Manufacturers sometimes use proprietary connections rather than 2.4GHz.
It would be ideal if you were sitting on the couch and needed to control media. A durable and usable backlighting system is what you need, not something expensive. You may want to avoid gratuitous lighting if you’re never planning to connect the keyboard with a USB cable if you’re a gamer. LAN parties and tournaments can benefit from wireless keyboards from Corsair and Razer.
If you’re shopping for a laptop or tablet, get one that is as portable as possible without sacrificing the keyboard. Ideally, you should purchase a desktop computer with backlighting for typing in the dark. In general, Bluetooth or proprietary wireless connections aren’t a problem if you do not need extremely low latency.
However, it isn’t easy to load media on the couch without twitching fingers, whereas gamers need instant response time. A mechanical keyboard (specifically with Cherry MX Blue switches) is better for people who like the clicky feeling of old-style typewriters. Both mechanical and membrane keyboards use keycaps with encased stems and springs.
Mechanical keyboards operate by pressing two contacts together, while membrane keyboards operate by pressing two references together. Flat keycaps typically pop back into place through a “scissor” mechanism. It’s essential to choose a wireless keyboard that works with your operating system if you’re looking for a new one.
Choose either a Windows or macOS keyset if you plan to buy one for multiple devices. Switching between your PC, smartphone, and tablet is easy with products that can connect to various devices simultaneously. In the past, wireless keyboards caused concerns about latency and interference. Today, these concerns are not nearly as prevalent. Despite some latency, the suitable keyboards don’t even notice it.
Our Razer BlackWidow recommendation even features a dedicated wireless gaming mode. A USB-C cable or parallel connection is commonly used to recharge wireless keyboards containing lithium-ion batteries. It is still possible to find some models that require two AA batteries. Lithium-ion batteries last for months despite not being replaceable. You can charge this keyboard by connecting it to a power source.
