The Best Wireless Keyboards of 2024

• Dimensions: 17.9 x 5.8 x 1.6 inches
• Weight: 3.5 pounds
• Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB

The metal and leather Azio Retro Classic keyboard is the most unusual keyboard in this roundup. It’s styled like an old-fashioned typewriter and feels amazingly authentic. The build quality is superb. And it’s substantial—exactly right for a keyboard emulating a typewriter. This full-size mechanical keyboard is definitely not a portable device you’ll throw in your overnight bag.

It comes set up for Mac, but there are alternate keycaps for PC use and a switch on the back to change modes. It pairs easily and you can use it with up to three devices. The backlighting is bright, even in a well-lit office. As for the battery, it will last a year with the backlighting off or one to two months with it on.

Like traditional typewriters, the Azio is not quiet. The keys are very bouncy and have a typewriter-like thunk when you’re working. However, the round keycaps could feel small if you have large hands.

The Azio might not be the most practical keyboard in this group, but it’s the most fun. But beyond its good looks, it’s a real workhorse once you get used to the shape of the keys.

The Logitech K750 Solar is a good option for people who don’t want to worry about ever charging their keyboard again.

Logitech says that once the K750 has been charged for two hours, it will remain powered for up to three months in the dark. However, during testing, we needed direct sunlight or a very bright office for it to work well.

It’s a good, inexpensive, full-size membrane keyboard. At first, it might seem a bit flimsy, but it’s got the solid build you’d expect with a Logitech device. It’s designed for Mac computers, but it also can connect it to a Windows PC.

With the Logitech Options app installed, the keyboard started immediately and was ready to work. The pairing was quick and never faltered.

The keyboard is no better or worse than most membrane types—the movement of the keys feels a bit flat and dead, and working on the K750 for long periods is more tiring than other keyboards we tested. However, one nice feature is that the keyboard can either lie flat or sit at an angle thanks to small, foldable legs in the back.

• Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB-A

Anyone looking for a compact mechanical keyboard should consider the Keychron K6. The keys are comfortable to work on and pleasantly bouncy, with less noise than some other mechanical keyboards. It’s small, portable, and solidly built.

It’s both Windows and Mac-compatible, and there’s a handy tool in the box that lets you switch keys to make the Keychron K6 friendlier for each system.

The backlighting is bright and there are several modes, great for gaming. The light modes are easy to change by a single dedicated key. However, the effects key is right next to the backspace key, so it’s easy to hit it and suddenly find yourself in a blinking wonderland.

People used to a full-sized keyboard might struggle with the layout. For instance, the Light, Home, Page Up, and Page Down keys are in a vertical row on the right side of the keyboard. Also, there are no macro-programmable keys.

While this keyboard supports Bluetooth, our main problem with the Keychron K6 during testing was that Bluetooth connection frequently failed if the keyboard was idle for a few minutes. That said, it can pair up to three devices at once.

• Dimensions: 11.65 x 5.19 x 0.82 inches
• Weight: 17.86 ounces
• Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB-C cable

The Logitech MX Keys Mini takes everything you love about the full-sized MX Keys and Apple’s Magic Keyboard to create a well-made, attractive, and easy-to-use compact keyboard.

There are two versions of the Logitech MX Keys Mini: the standard version and a Mac-centric variant. The standard version supports Windows and macOS, iPadOS, iOS, Linux, Chrome OS, and Android devices, while the Mac-centric version is only compatible with Apple devices.

The tenkeyless keyboard layout features low-profile concave keys which are comfortable to use for prolonged periods of time and make relatively little noise. There are unique keys like voice dictation, emoji, and screen capture.

The keyboard’s battery life is preserved with the help of a manual on/off switch and a proximity sensor, and Logitech’s claim of up to 10 days of battery life with backlighting on seemed accurate in our testing. (The total battery life is up to five months without backlighting).

Overall, the Logitech MX Keys Mini is the best all-around compact keyboard and can be anyone’s go-to when traveling or juggling multiple devices at once.

The Arteck HB030B is small, portable, and minimal—and at less than $20, downright affordable. It’s thin and light and, at first glance, almost toy-like, but it’s very functional and compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. With all of those options and its size, it’s made for being thrown in a bag and taken anywhere—and for that it works well.

There are some downsides to the Arteck. The keys feel a bit dead. They don’t travel down much and there’s minimal bounce at the bottom. Due to its small size, when typing on it for long periods, it felt cramped. The layout can also be a nuisance if you have large fingers.

The backlit keyboard helps with the cramped keys. You can change the multicolored settings with a couple of keystrokes. There are seven steady color choices: cyan, light and dark green, light and dark blue, purple, and red.

Being so small, Arteck claims that the keyboard will run for six months on a single charge—but only if you turn off the backlight and use it for a couple of hours a day. It’s made more for hit-and-run typing as you travel than for long stretches of work. In the end, it feels exactly like what it is: as minimal a keyboard as you could have that’s both good quality and extremely portable.

After working with the RK61 Royal Kludge I have to admit that I’m not a fan. It’s a budget device and it feels like it.

The RK is a mechanical keyboard geared to gaming—it says so right on the box. The 60% layout might be good for games, but it feels cramped for work. The backlighting will do amusing tricks, but if you want full RGB backlighting, you’re out of luck. Still, the pastel hues are pretty in their own way and programmable.

When it comes to typing, the RK is extremely unremarkable. While it has the typical depth and clunk of a mechanical keyboard, it’s not as pleasant to use as others we tested. Plus, the keys are made of a light plastic and don’t always feel entirely stable when you push them hard.

It does have features some people will love. You can switch between five devices, and it works well with Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. Most people will use it via Bluetooth, but you can run it wired, too.

The RK is small but somewhat heavy for its size. It’s portable, but if you want something light enough not to think about, this isn’t the keyboard for you.

The Omoton is a $20 keyboard and behaves like one, which is too bad. Unlike some of the other budget keyboards we tested, the Omoton’s cheapness shows.

The good news is that it’s a light Bluetooth device that can run on two AAA batteries for up to 30 days, per the company. The Omoton looks very much like an Apple Magic keyboard, but looks can be deceiving.

While it can work with Windows, the keyboard is laid out for Mac users. However, we had trouble pairing it with both a laptop and an iPad. Worse, we found the keys to be very rigid. In fact, the space bar was stiff enough that we frequently had to go back and add spaces between words. Along with the pairing problems, we had trouble getting the function keys to work properly..
