Best Wireless Keyboard 2024: Our top eight picks
In This Article
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 thebest gaming keyboardandbest mechanical keyboard.

How we test
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
TheLogitech MX Keys Sisn’t a huge upgrade on the three-year-oldLogitech MX Keysbut 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
TheKeychron Q1 Maxis our top pick for the best enthusiast wireless keyboard around, replacing theQ1 Promodel 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
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 latestAsus ROG Falchion RX Low Profileis 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 theROG Azothto theROG 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.

Wooting 60HE+
Best gaming wireless keyboard
Packed with lots of customisation options, powerful hall effect switches and tactile keys, all housed in a surprisingly compact 60% keyboard, the Wooting 60HE Plus is a fantastic gaming keyboard.
Available in two options including a fully customisable configuration which needs to be built and comes with the hall effect PCB, polycarbonate plate and screw-in stabilisers. While this shouldn’t faze anyone who has worked with keyboards before, if you’re daunted by the prospect of building a keyboard then the standard option comes pre-assembled.
We tested the customisable configuration of the 60HE Plus and found that while the 60% layout does sacrifice certain keys such as the function row and number pad, the small form factor offers more desk real estate for mouse movements.
The 60HE Plus uses hall-effect switches which help to make gaming feel smooth, especially when analogue or rapid-trigger was enabled.
You can completely customise and configure the keyboard to best suit your preferences with the neatly organised and easy to use Wootility software. Here you can configure RGB lighting, set rapid triggers on individual keys and even remap keys entirely.
Otherwise the 60HE Plus does come with preset programmes if you’d prefer not to customise everything yourself.
Overall we don’t think you could do much better than the Wooting 60HE Plus keyboard for gaming.

Lemokey P1 Pro
Best wireless mechanical keyboard
A mechanical keyboard is more tactile and can usually be customised more than other keyboards. They’re typically favoured by gamers and workers who require precision when typing quickly.
The Lemokey P1 Pro is a well-built and customisable wireless keyboard which sports tactile switches and vivid underglow lighting all for an affordable price.
Like its more expensive alternative, theQ1 Pro, the P1 Pro has a 75% layout with additional keys such as a function row and a single-column nav cluster for easy navigation and editing. There’s also an aluminium dial in the top right corner for volume control too.
We found its included flat keycaps are easier to type on than regular alternatives and, as they are made of PBT plastic, they’re impressively durable too. However you have the option to change the keycaps if you’d prefer.
For everyday use we found the included switches feel responsive and tactile, however they can also be swapped with other alternatives such as K Pro Browns or Cherry MX Brown instead.
That’s not where the customisation ends. The P1 Pro offers two different suites for software configuration: VIA and Lemokey. Both are designed for programming and remapping functions and macros, however the latter is available via a web browser as long as the keyboard is plugged in.
As a Bluetooth keyboard, the Lemokey P1 Pro can be paired with up to three devices at once, with a battery life that can last up to 200 hours (with the backlighting switched off).
The P1 Pro is a fantastic wireless keyboard that offers you the convenience and flexibility of customisation without needing to worry about pesky wires.

Logitech Wave Keys
Best ergonomic wireless keyboard
If you’ve become accustomed to an ergonomic keyboard or you just fancy a change, we think theLogitech Wave Keysis 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
At Trusted Reviews, we cover a lot of enthusiast keyboards and they don’t necessarily appeal to the average user. TheLogitech Pebble Keys 2 K380sfalls 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
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.
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.
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.
