The best wireless keyboards are reliable, convenient and comfortable to use. The right one for you will have all the keys you need and none that you don't, as well as rock-solid wireless connectivity to your device(s) of choice via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Since they're wireless, they're also easier to travel with. For some, these are the only keyboards worth buying.
Investing in the best wireless keyboard can pay big dividends in terms of comfort and ergonomics. Sure, some of the best laptops have good keyboards that are comfortable to type on for hours on end. However, we strongly recommend you consider a standalone keyboard rather than spend hours a day hunched over your laptop typing. After all, having your neck craned downward for long periods is a big ergonomic no-no.

If you're looking for an all-around fantastic wireless keyboard, look no further than the Cooler Master MK770. The gasket-mounted design and Kailh Box V2 switches make for a pleasant typing experience. It's also hot-swappable, so you're free to mod it however you want.
The Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro is an excellent wireless keyboard for gaming thanks to its comfortable key switches, robust functionality, and low-profile design. Though it isn't cheap, it's worth it if you want to take your gaming to the proverbial next level.
The Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini HyperSpeed is an excellent choice for those who want a small wireless keyboard. What it lacks in a function row, it makes up for with solid performance and an overall sturdy build. This is a great choice.
The NuPhy Air75 V2 looks, sounds and types great. It has high levels of connectivity and an impressively large battery given its low profile. We had a few minor issues, but nothing that is detrimental. Overall, though, this is a lovely board.
The Logitech G915 TKL is a smaller version of its full-sized sibling and it's arguably better for it. The low-profile keycaps, comfortable switches, gorgeous RGB lighting, reliable wireless connectivity and discrete media keys make it an all-around winner.
The Logitech Ergo K860 is an ergonomic wireless keyboard that's ideal for those who want to maximize their comfort by reducing wrist strain. It connects via USB dongle or Bluetooth and features a split-keyboard design and adjustable wrist rest.
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.

The best wireless gaming keyboard
If you're a gamer and need a reliable board, the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro is one of the best wireless keyboards for the task. It features a thin and light low-profile design, the company's optical switches, and full RGB lighting.
Connectivity-wise, the DeathStalker V2 Pro supports USB dongle or Bluetooth, and you can actually connect it to three different Bluetooth devices at once. And don't worry about losing the USB dongle since there's a compartment for it on the board's underside. And if you want to reprogram any (or all) of the keys, you can do so through the Razer Synapse app.

The best 65% wireless keyboard
The Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed is one of the best mini-gaming keyboards you can buy. Unlike smaller models, the V3 Mini Hyperspeed features a 65% profile. That means you won't have to sacrifice discrete arrow keys or a dedicated delete button. That's great news for touch typists. For gamers, the V3 Mini Hyperspeed features comfortable Razer Green or Yellow switches and full RGB lighting, which you can sync with your other Razer gear.
Granted, the BlackWidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed is extremely expensive, considering its size. (The good news is that you can probably find discounted prices at many retailers.) As a wireless keyboard with powerful lighting capabilities, you can run through the battery pretty quickly, at least on default settings. Still, if your desk space is limited, the BlackWidow V3 Mini Hyperspeed is good for typing, gaming, and saving room.

The best 75% wireless keyboard
The NuPhy Air75 V2 seemingly has it all. It has a charming minimalist but playful aesthetic, excellent build quality and a nice, dampened sound. We also really liked the RGB lighting, which isn’t too garish and is highly customizable.
The Air75 V2 is a phenomenal typist’s board thanks to the low profile PBT keycaps, and features an impressively large 4,000mAh battery given its size. It’s also been designed to fit over a laptop’s keyboard without touching the keys or trackpad, making it great to use in confined spaces, such as on a train.
However, we experienced a freezing bug when using the board with macOS. This ended up fixing itself, but didn’t inspire confidence about the keyboard’s long-term reliability. It doesn’t have much height adjustment either, and while it’s hardly outrageously priced, there are great 75% boards out there for less, from the likes of Keychron and Epomaker in particular.

The best TKL 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 ergonomic wireless keyboard
Looking for a wireless keyboard that's reliable, versatile and comfortable to use? The Logitech Ergo K860 is all of these, with a split-keyboard design that's meant to help you keep your hands in place to reduce strain.
One of our favorite features on the keyboard is the feet towards the front side of the chassis so you can change the height of the deck of the keyboard. For those of us with standing desks, that's crucial, as we're often moving between sitting and standing, which changes where our arms hit the table.
The Logitech Ergo K860 works over both Bluetooth and Logitech's own USB receiver for ultimate compatibility. Three device-pairing keys let you easily switch between paired devices, like a laptop and an iPad or a desktop PC and a phone.

How to choose the best wireless keyboard
Design: What size keyboard do you want? Most of us are used to a full-sized keyboard, which has the separate number pad on the right-hand side. But if you don't care about that number pad and/or want something a bit smaller, consider getting a tenkeyless wireless keyboard like the Logitech G915 TKL, which doesn't have the separate number pad. There are a variety of sizes to choose from based on your needs, usually denoted as percentages of a full keyboard (so a 60% mini keyboard is 60% the size of a full keyboard and typically only includes the main typing keys and the number row, for example).
Switches: If you want a mechanical wireless keyboard, what kind of switches do you want? There are lots of options to choose from, but they generally vary in two big ways: how noisy they are, and when they register a keypress. Switches that register a keypress (or actuate) when you press them all the way in are called linear switches, whereas those that actuate when you press them roughly halfway down are called tactile switches. 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.
Our guide to mechanical switches will give you more details on some of the top switches on the market, but if you're not sure, it's a safe bet to get Cherry MX switches on your keyboard as they're some of the best in the business.
Price: A good wireless keyboard will likely cost you between $50 to $200, depending on which one you want and when you buy it. (Hint: Black Friday and Cyber Monday are great days to find good deals on keyboards.) While that might seem high for a keyboard, remember that you're paying for quality: A $20 to $30 membrane keyboard from Microsoft or Dell will work well enough, but it won't be nearly as comfortable (or last as long) as a high-quality wireless keyboard.
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.
