Best Wireless Keyboard 2024: Our favourite sets of wire-free keys

Want a clutter-free desk? But, also, fancy an excellent typing experience? We’ve tested the best (and worst) wireless keyboards around. Here are the very best.

PC gaming continues to boom, while many are looking for new keyboards to boost their WFH space. As such, companies have raced to fill this demand, meaning there are a lot of keyboards around. It’s tough to find the right one for you.

Never fear, we’ve done the leg work for you. The technology experts here at Trusted Reviews spend their days testing the very best gadgets around and we’ve put wireless keyboards through their paces too. Only the peripherals with top scores from us have made it onto this prestigious list.

We completely understand that different users have very different needs. So, we’ve combined a wide range of wireless keyboard options, from those made for gamers to those focused on working from home as well as some that do a great job of both.

When it comes to testing them, we spent at least a week with each, exploring just how good the keys feel, playing with any stand-out features, seeing how the size and connectivity affect using them as well as key factors like battery life. Once we’ve done all that, we bring it together in a full in-depth review with a score to tie it all together. If it got 4 stars or above then it’s up for consideration for this very list.

The testing never stops at Trusted Reviews so make sure to bookmark this page and head back to check out brand spanking new entries, as we update this list regularly. Also, if you’re not set on a wireless board, check out our list for the best gaming keyboard and best mechanical keyboard.

We use every keyboard we test for at least a week. During that time, we’ll check it for ease of use, how good it feels for general typing, and put it through its paces by playing a variety of different game genres, including FPS, strategy and MOBAs.

We also check each keyboard’s software to see how easy it is to customise and set up.

Logitech MX Keys S

Best wireless keyboard
rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star

Pros

  • Modern, sleek looks
  • Comfortable tactile typing experience
  • Extensive software functionality

Cons

  • Expensive for a membrane keyboard
  • May not be enough of an upgrade for some

The Logitech MX Keys S isn’t a huge upgrade on the three-year-old Logitech MX Keys but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. The new MX Keys S adds some pleasing tweaks to make our top wireless keyboard pick even better.

The typing experience is exactly the same with the new MX Keys S as it is with the MX Keys, and that’s no bad thing. It isn’t a mechanical keyboard but its membrane keys are impressive in their own right. There’s a pleasantly surprising amount of tactility, and that’s despite a middling level of travel. It’s snappy and extremely comfortable.

The look of the MX Keys S isn’t flashy, it’s understated and professional, ready to comfortably fit into any office setup. It’ll fit seamlessly in terms of connectivity too, with support for Logi Bolt and Bluetooth connectivity.

One of the key changes for the Logitech MX Keys S is in the software department. You’ll now use Logitech Options+ alongside this keyboard, offering more powerful customisation. The headline feature is Smart Actions. Smart Actions is essentially macro functions, allowing you to assign certain keypresses, and combinations of keypresses, to speed up many tasks. These include opening certain programs or saving time on specific actions in apps like Zoom and Teams.

Keychron Q1 Max

Best enthusiast wireless keyboard
rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star

Pros

  • Heavy aluminum shell
  • Wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz wireless
  • Ultra-satisfying keystrokes

Cons

  • Lighting won’t be for everyone
  • Barebones version is still expensive

The Keychron Q1 Max is our top pick for the best enthusiast wireless keyboard around, replacing the Q1 Pro model it has built upon by adding a 2.4GHz connection to beef up its connectivity chops.

It may be wireless but this certainly isn’t a keyboard made for the portable life. However, its all-aluminium chassis adds a huge dose of luxury. For some, the Q1 Max may be an acquired taste, with its luxuriousness being combined with a retro look. But, it’s a wondrous thing to look at. 

The nitty-gritty of this excellent enthusiast option is, of course, the typing experience. It is what our reviewer described as “ultra-satisfying”, with a lusciously tactile keypress that doesn’t go overboard on travel.

Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile

Best low-profile wireless keyboard
rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star

Pros

  • Gorgeous looks
  • Smooth and snappy switches
  • Vivid RGB lighting

Cons

  • Armoury Crate is clunky

Portable, low-profile keyboards are all the rage right now, with big brands like Asus offering its takes, alongside newcomers like Keychron and NuPhy having a go. But, right now, the latest Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile is our top choice for the best low-profile wireless keyboard.

Over the last few years, we’ve been mightily impressed with the keyboard offering from Asus, from the ROG Azoth to the ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless. The ROG Falchion RX Low Profile is another top-drawer option, its low-profile switches enable a lightweight and portable chassis while still providing an exceptional and speedy typing experience.

Along with the impressive performance and design, this keyboard offers stunningly long up to 400 hours of battery life and useful connectivity through Bluetooth and 2.4GHz options.

Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless

Best gaming wireless keyboard
rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star

Pros

  • Good looks
  • Pre-lubed switches feel excellent
  • Vibrant RGB lighting

Cons

  • Fiddly and slow software

The Corsair K100 Air Wireless used to hold the top gaming keyboard position on this list but it was dethroned by the Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless, which left a serious impression on our reviewer. It’s built with a solid frame, plastic chassis and metal top plate with absolutely no deck flex to speak of and a decent amount of heft that makes it feel sturdy to use. 

The keycaps, which are comprised of a textured PBT, felt excellent under one’s fingers and are a lot more durable than other, cheaper plastics, which should ensure a long lifespan. The keycaps also have dedicated sub-legends for controlling recording functions on Windows Game Bar, as well as a multi-function button and roller that can be used to toggle lighting and media playback. 

Our review model came with Asus’s own pre-lubricated NX Snow switches; the lubrication made them feel supremely smooth with no form of scratchiness. Our reviewer noted that the ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless was a joy to use in testing, with the layers of foam inside the casing also offering excellent acoustics. 

This keyboard is also hot-swappable, allowing you to use any switches you like, provided that they conform to the MX standard of three or five-pin mounting, giving you virtually infinite customisation options. We found the default NX Snow switches to be comfortable to use with smooth actuation and light force. 

Asus delivers on the lighting side of things too, offering a full spectrum of vivid colours that can be customised to best suit your style. We did find the software to be a little fiddly and slow at times, but nothing too arduous. 

Overall, if you’re looking for the most premium gaming keyboard experience on the market right now then the Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless is the perfect solution.

Logitech MX Mechanical

Best wireless mechanical keyboard
rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star

Pros

  • Great build quality
  • Responsive, tactile switches
  • Excellent battery life

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Lack of software-based customisation may not please some

The Logitech MX Mechanical is another fantastic office-based wireless keyboard, but this time features low-profile mechanical key switches for snappier key presses.

It’s based on the same formula as the standard MX Keys above, but features Logitech’s Tactile Quiet switches inside that we think bring with it an excellent typing experience. These provide a satisfying bump halfway down the key travel, as well as a snappy actuation force that makes day-to-day working a real breeze. There are also Linear and Clicky variants available if the tactile bump isn’t to your tastes, but as a handy all-rounder, you can’t go wrong with Browns.

We found the design here to be elegant yet functional with a two-tone grey colouring on the keycaps that looks excellent, alongside a sturdy metal and plastic construction. Everything here looks modern and reflective of an increasingly premium peripheral, as the pricing of the MX Mechanical suggests.

The battery life here proved to be outstanding, as the MX Mechanical lasted as long as Logitech said – two weeks or so with the backlighting fully on, while they also state it’ll last for up to 10 months with it off. The backlighting here is kept clean with a single white light adorning the MX Mechanical’s keys, and we found it to offer a handy boost when working after dark.

You can also connect the MX Mechanical to up to 3 devices at once and switch between them with no delay at all. The keyboard can be connected to your PC via the bundled Logi Bolt USB receiver or Bluetooth, with the dual options proving to be very useful when working on a MacBook and a PC at the same time.

This is an expensive option compared to other wireless office keyboards, but it’s definitely worth it for those looking for more tactile keystrokes. If you do want to save a little bit of money though, then you also have the option of purchasing the slightly more affordable Logitech MX Mechanical Mini which ditches the number pad to achieve a more streamlined design.

Logitech Wave Keys

Best ergonomic wireless keyboard
rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star

Pros

  • Good looks
  • Comfortable typing experience
  • Clever software
  • Not too expensive

Cons

  • Layout takes some getting used to
  • No backlighting may not please some

If you’ve become accustomed to an ergonomic keyboard or you just fancy a change, we think the Logitech Wave Keys is the best one around, especially when you consider value for money, at its £69.99/$59.99/€79.99 price.

The wavy, ergo-friendly chassis is deftly designed to ease the burden on your wrists. It isn’t a luxury pick necessarily, with plastic used throughout, but this makes it a sturdy and durable option. And, despite this, it is still rather stylish, especially with the comfortable cloth wristrest adorning its bottom section.

The typing experience itself is comfortable if taking some getting used to if you’re not a typical ergonomic keyboard user, but you’ll get there in no time. There’s also an impressive three-year battery life and handy connectivity over Bluetooth and Logi Bolt for up to three devices.

Logitech Pebble Keys 2 K380s

Best mini wireless keyboard
rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star

Pros

  • Funky looks
  • Comfortable and quiet typing experience
  • Rather powerful software

Cons

  • Smaller layout can feel a little cramped at times
  • Cheaper feeling chassis

At Trusted Reviews, we cover a lot of enthusiast keyboards and they don’t necessarily appeal to the average user. The Logitech Pebble Keys 2 K380s falls directly into this bracket, and it’s our top pick for a mini wireless keyboard.

The Pebble Keys 2 K380s catches the eye with its stylish variety of colours and its remarkably portable size. Despite this, the performance is surprisingly component, with a keypress that is both comfortable and, ideal for the office, it’s quiet.

The Logitech software is helpful too, with its Smart Action enabling speedy custom keys to be assigned to make your working day more seamless. Given it’s powered by a pair of AAA batteries, you’re able to get up to a long 36 months out of this keyboard.

FAQs

Is a Bluetooth keyboard better than 2.4GHz wireless?

Not really. Bluetooth has a slower response time than proprietary 2.4GHz wireless such as Razer’s HyperSpeed. You probably won’t notice a difference for general productivity tasks, as it’s only really beneficial for gamers. Bluetooth is more power efficient, so will see a greater battery life, making it the better choice for an office keyboard.

Is 60 or 65 keyboard better?

We prefer the 65% layout, just because you have arrow keys which can be important. However, if you don’t need arrow keys at all, then a 60% keyboard may serve you well too.

Why are wireless keyboards better?

That’s subjective. The benefits of a wireless keyboard is that you don’t have as many wires cluttering your desk, while they can also function a long distance away from your PC. However, they can have drawbacks such as latency issues and you’ll also need to make sure the battery is charged up.
