The best wireless keyboard overall
If you're looking for a wireless mechanical keyboard that puts comfort at the forefront then the Cooler Master MK770 is the wireless keyboard to get.
The gasket-mounted design and Kailh Box V2 switches are what help make typing on this keyboard such a delight. The design reduces vibrations and noise while the switches deliver smooth yet tactile keystrokes. And since this board is hot-swappable, you're free to mod it how you want, though the typing experience is great right out of the box.
We like the "Macaron" color option, which features pastel-like green, pink and yellow keycaps. The keyboard looks like it came right out of a candy store. It's a striking colorway, even for those who prefer black or gray devices. But if you want, you can get this board in a Space Gray option.
The only main negative we can lobby against the MK770 is that its MasterPlus software. It gives you the basics for customizing the RGB lighting and setting macros but the software can be too sluggish. Thankfully, you can mostly ignore MasterPlus.
Despite its disappointing software, the Cooler Master MK770 is a phenomenal mechanical keyboard that’s worth the $119 asking price.

It's also as dependable as any wired keyboard you're likely to find, meaning you don't have to fret over dropped signals or lag while typing. In action, it's as speedy and responsive as any wired alternative you'll find on the market.
Due to its RGB lighting and low-profile key switches, the G915 is both comfortable and striking to look at. The only downside to picking up this board?

The best budget wireless keyboard
The Epomaker DynaTab75 is a standout in the world of mechanical keyboards, offering a blend of aesthetics, premium construction, and versatile functionality that is hard to match. This keyboard’s stunning blue and white colorway — paired with minimalistic RGB lighting — makes it a treat for the eyes. Its build quality is impressive too, featuring layers of sound absorbing foam that enhance the typing experience by reducing metallic pings and other unnecessary noise.
One of its unique selling points is its integrated slot for phones and tablets, which adds a level of convenience for users who multitask or game on smaller devices. The DynaTab75’s typing experience is exceptional, thanks to the comfortable double-shot PBT keycaps and excellent switches (especially the Wisteria tactile switches we tested). It’s great for both typing and casual gaming, performing well in first-person shooters and third-person RPGs alike.
Despite its big footprint and weight, which make it less portable, the DynaTab75 has earned its place on my desk. At $89, and often available for much less, this keyboard offers high-end features and exceptional value, making it a highly recommended choice for anyone in need of a robust and stylish keyboard.

The best work wireless keyboard
On the hunt for a premium mechanical keyboard that offers a high degree of customization, incredible construction and stellar typing experience? The Lemokey P1 Pro should be at the top of your list. Priced at $129, it’s fantastic value for money. Its CNC machined aluminum construction feels both luxurious and durable. Since it’s hot-swappable, you can use whichever 3-pin and 5-pin switches you prefer. The double-shot PBT keycaps, in conjunction with the stock banana switches, provide an unbeatable typing experience. There’s no need to install any bloatware on your machine as the P1 Pro can be customized via the web-based Lemokey Launcher.
However, at 3.63lbs, the P1 Pro is on the heavier side so it’s best-suited for a stationary setup. Also, it lacks a dedicated switch for toggling between operating systems, which could be a potential minor inconvenience for some.
Overall, the P1 Pro is a solid choice for anyone seeking a durable, customizable and aesthetically pleasing mechanical keyboard.

The best ergonomic wireless keyboard
The Logitech G915 TKL is exactly what it sounds like: a tenkeyless version of the similarly excellent Logitech G915. Like the full-size model, the G915 TKL is a stylish and expensive peripheral. It's also one of the only wireless mechanical gaming keyboards on the market. If you want to ditch your wired setup but don't have a lot of desk space available, this is probably the model for you.
As with other Logitech models, the G915 TKL benefits from excellent key switches, intuitive software and a durable design. You still get discrete media keys, as well as thin, elevated keycaps and per-key RGB illumination. While the G915 TKL costs almost twice as much as similar wired models, it's arguably worth the premium, especially if you find yourself moving the keyboard around to take advantage of its USB dongle and Bluetooth connection profiles.

The best compact wireless keyboard
The Logitech MX Keys Mini is as nimble as they come, weighing in at under 18 ounces and 12 inches. This little productivity weapon is designed for fast typing, and boy does it deliver, thanks to its super low profile concave keycaps. It’s built well, features strong battery life and is easy to hook up. What’s more, it comes with dual labeled keycaps for macOS and Windows — a boon for anyone that switches between the two regularly.
All that said, this is a pricey board for what it is. You can get awesome mechanical 75% boards for similar money that offer more features and more customization. It also features a couple of annoying quirks, including Bluetooth keys that completely knock out important macOS functions, and a backlight that turns itself off.

How to choose the best wireless keyboard
It can be tricky to find the best wireless keyboard for your needs. Whether you want a peripheral to work or game on, price, size and what switch types a board supports should also be considered before you take the plunge on a device your fingers will probably be typing away on every day.
That's why we’ve broken down and explained the key factors you should consider before buying your next wireless keyboard below.
- Working vs gaming: which is your main priority? Will you primarily be typing on a keyboard for work? Or are you going to be putting those WASD keys through their paces in your favorite PC games? Read our best keyboards guide if you want the finest peripherals to type on for productivity tasks, while check out our picks of the best gaming keyboards if play is the priority.
- Mechanical or membrane? This comes down to type feel and noise. Mechanical keyboards have individual switches under each key, providing a satisfying click with each press, akin to using a typewriter. Membrane boards normally use silicon switches, which mean they offer less travel distance when typing and are far quieter than their mechanical alternatives.
- What size do you need? Most of us are used to full-sized keyboards, which have separate number pads. But if you want something a bit smaller, consider getting a tenkeyless wireless keyboard, which forgo separate number pads. Smaller form 70% and 60% "mini keyboards" are becoming increasingly popular, so if you don't have much desk space, they're definitely worth considering.
- What kind of switches do you want? If you go the mechanical wireless keyboard route, you need to consider the type of switches you desire. There are lots of options to choose from when it comes to mechanical switches, but they generally vary in two big ways: how noisy they are, and when they register a keypress. Once you know whether you want quiet vs noisy and linear vs tactile, you'll have narrowed your options down from dozens to a handful.
- How much should you spend? A good wireless keyboard will likely cost you between $50 to $200. While the latter price might seem high for a keyboard, remember that you're paying for quality: A $20 to $30 membrane keyboard from a trusted manufacturer, like Logitech or Dell, will work well enough, but it won't be nearly as comfortable (or last as long) as a high-quality wireless board.
- Do you need a hot-swappable keyboard? If you’re a casual PC user, no. Hot-swappable boards let you replace the switches beneath your keycaps, giving you the option of clickier key presses. Hot-swappable keyboards are primarily aimed at hardcore PC players, so if you just need a good wireless board for work, the simple answer is no.
How we test wireless keyboards
To find the best, we run each keyboard we review through a variety of tests. The first, and most important, test is to play through a number of different games, and see how the keyboard holds up.
After that, we take a deep dive into a keyboard's software suite, evaluating how easy (or difficult) it is to reprogram keys, set up macros, adjust lighting and create profiles for games. Particularly intuitive software gets high marks; convoluted software can lose some points, even if it's very robust otherwise.
Finally, we make sure to use a keyboard for productivity and personal gaming for at least two or three days. Most of us don't swap keyboards in and out; what you use for general computing, you'll need to use for work and gaming as well. The better a keyboard is at everyday tasks, the better the recommendation we give it.
