The best wireless keyboards of 2024

It's no surprise that this keyboard also takes prime position in our other rundown of the best Logitech keyboards. The brand is something of tech's answer to the Swiss Army Knife - with a peripheral for every occasion. Cue the K780 - apart from being a good practical size with a Numpad included in the layout, this is also a multi-device wireless keyboard. So, if you are looking for a one-size-fits-all solution, it's compatible with computers, phones and tablets running Chrome, Android and iOS. There's even a built-in stand for mobile devices too.

Utilising Logitech's Flow system, which requires a Flow-enabled mouse, this keyboard can actually switch between systems on the fly: perfect for multitasking between systems. The keys are a good size, with a low profile for speed and accuracy. Finally, it lasts up to 24 months on two AAA batteries and comes with a dongle for computers that don't include Bluetooth.

Tried and tested by Affiliate Operations Editor Adam Binnie: "Often discounted to a price that would be temping for a budget keyboard alone, this product from Trust is made all the more tempting by the fact it also includes a mouse.

"It's a really affordable way to upgrade and detangle your desk, with a single receiver stashed inside the mouse that plugs into a USB socket. Batteries are included, but you'll need two AAAs when they run out (plus another two for the mouse).

"The keys sit on a pretty standard membrane mechanism and claim to be silent in use - this is a bit of an exaggeration, but they are very quiet compared to the keyboard your IT department will likely have given you. The action is very positive, and I've yet to experience an absent letter from miskeying.

"Strategically placed holes in the base of the keyboard will also let spilt coffee drain away, while the ergonomic, ambidextrous mouse has a DPI button on it to adjust sensitivity on the fly. Basically, if all you want is a wireless office set-up, this pair from Trust covers all bases admirably."

Logitech's G915 TKL Lightspeed is an excellent gaming keyboard that will give you the edge. Whether that's a first-person shooter, a round of battle royale, or exploring a vast RPG universe. When we reviewed the Logitech G915 TKL LIGHTSPEED we found it to be a solid performer with lots of gamer-friendly features.

A well-thought-out addition is the Game Mode button. It deactivates the Windows key for disruption-free gaming. No gaming keyboard would be complete without RGB lighting with brightness control, but the crucial inclusion here is the Logitech LIGHTSPEED wireless technology. The latter is essential for gamers as it ensures your connection is ultra-fast with low latency - a blistering 1MS response time. All in all, this is a killer combination of looks and performance that will give you the drop on your enemies.

Tried and tested by Affiliate Operations Editor Adam Binnie: "I wanted a small wireless keyboard that I could fold away into my desk at the end of the day and fit into a small rucksack when I was heading into the office. Most importantly though it had to be Bluetooth because my laptop USB slots are already a bit of a premium.

"This one from JLab ticks all the boxes and does so at a very approachable price. From edge to edge, it's not a lot bigger than the keyboard on my laptop, and the keys themselves are slim to keep the overall bulk low but have a much more positive action, more like a full-sized desktop keyboard.

"It tucks very neatly into a rucksack and takes up next to no room in my fold-up desk, but is big on features like programmable hotkeys, a volume knob and optional 2.4g connectivity. Flexible in use, you can connect it to a phone, tablet, PC or Mac, and it can remember up to three devices for later use.

"The only downside really is that it's AAA battery-powered rather than rechargeable, but I've been using it for a couple of months now and haven't had to replace them yet."

If you want a high-end keyboard without the high-end price, the Galaxy70 from Epomaker has everything you'll need. With a fully aluminium outer case, high-quality PBT keycaps and pre-lubed mechanical switches, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's expensive. But at only £99, it offers great value as well as great materials. Though it lacks options such as Snap Tap, it is highly customisable, allowing you to tune it to your game and your setup.

Olivia reviewed the keyboard, and had this to say:

"When I first saw the Galaxy 70, for the price it was advertised, at first I was admittedly very sceptical. I’d heard of the keyboards before, but never used one, and it all seemed a little too good to be true. As someone who knows far more about the workings of keyboards than any normal person, I have never been so happy to be proven wrong.

"When it comes to recommending it, to me, this is the best keyboard on the market for the price right now. Yes the software may be a bit clunky, but that's a very forgivable flaw when you look at the sum of the keyboard's parts. I wish I'd discovered this keyboard before I sunk money into another brand, as this offers everything I want in a keyboard, with great materials and a great cost."

Microsoft is certainly no stranger to making affordable but reliable peripherals, but this wins our top spot for best ergonomic keyboard simply because it's a familiar design that doesn't break the mould - but still offers an ergonomic layout with some handy extra features. It is well suited to anyone who just needs comfort with a more traditional keyboard experience. It provides a natural typing position, with a slightly curved layout. This in turn allows for a natural movement in the wrist joint, while the palm rest offers additional comfort and support.

Some of the best features on offer here are ideal for anyone's working day, whether that's from home or the office. There are dedicated function keys for things like launching applications, volume control and media playback. An ideal all-rounder with solid Microsoft build quality.

In our review of the Logitech MX Keys, we found it to be a worthy alternative to Apple's own Magic keyboard in terms of its beautiful finish, minimalistic profile and enhanced functionality. And if you're an Apple fan, this is more than capable of syncing with three Apple Macs, MacBooks or iPads if you need to. This is accomplished by the simple touch of a button too, making it a seriously useful tool for both typing accuracy and multitasking. One great Logitech innovation is that this keyboard integrates with any mouse that has the Logitech Flow system, allowing for seamless use across multiple devices without pressing any buttons.

Thankfully, the keys are Perfect Stroke - specially designed scissor switches. So you can expect a light but satisfying feel. They're large enough and well-spaced too, so the addition of adaptive backlighting will mean visibility is well looked after in all lighting conditions. The battery is respectably good too, is charged rapidly via USB-C, and will last around 10 days. The Logitech MX Keys for Mac is a favourite of What's The Best Deputy Editor William Lobley, who used it daily for over a year. There's also a Logitech MX Keys for Windows.

There's no doubt that the keyboards of the 80s and 90s were big, chunky, and loud - but in a totally endearing way. Those who have fond memories of IBM's Model F or Commodore's classic C64 will get a welcome boost of geeky excitement. 8BitDo's homage to the C64 from days of old is convincingly awesome.

It comes fitted with Kailh Box mechanical keys - but thanks to the hotswap PCB you can swap switches in and out. As for connectivity, you have a choice between Bluetooth, wireless or wired. Plus, thanks partly to the lack of a numpad, it's small enough to be incredibly versatile or even portable, making it perfect for all types of uses. All-in-all, if you love your retro, the 8BitDo Retro keyboard is your blast from the past.

Resident retro expert Chris was very impressed, with it having style and substance to back it up:

"Yes, this is a keyboard aimed squarely at C64 and retro tech fans like me, but of course it has a job to do. For a tenkeyless hot-swappable mechanical keyboard under £100 I think it’s impressive. The keycaps on this version share the a slightly concave profile of the original C64, making for a very positive, tactile typing experience.

"A retro 80s computing classic that manages to deliver both style and substance. You don’t have to be a gamer to appreciate its charms as a mech keyboard sporting an iconic design."

If you're a fan of the old-fashioned typewriter, or perhaps even the Steampunk aesthetic, this Rymek is a fully modernised blast from the past. The keys are mechanical of course, but they've also been engineered to emulate the feel of a typewriter. One lovely piece of attention to detail is the small scroll knob on the side of the 'carriage' - this is a power button and a volume control.

And that carriage is actually a tablet stand if you need one too. It pairs with anything with Bluetooth connectivity, and will even plug into a PC using a cable. Illuminated keys add another touch of understated modernisation, and if you're on a Windows or a Mac, or Android and Apple smartphones, it'll work with those too. If you like the eccentric style and traditional feel as you write your next novel, this is it.

If you have a Mac or similar Apple product, you'll need a compatible keyboard for it, and this is the best wireless design for that. It's a full layout, so it will take up a lot of space, but this way you won't have to sacrifice any keys. That means the Numpad remains, so it's a great keyboard for tasks that involve a lot of data and numbers.

Unfortunately, this Apple Magic keyboard doesn't possess any backlighting. As such, you'll want to consider your lighting situation, or else you may end up struggling to see the keys.

Another keyboard from Logitech, this wireless model has a slim and sleek profile that helps to keep your desk looking tidy and less cluttered. Even though they're low to the build, the keys are programmable, so you've got plenty of customisation to experiment with.

The adaptive backlight is a nice idea, but in practice, a regular version would be preferable. It's supposed to adapt to lighting conditions and brighten when your hand approaches, but we think it's better for keys to always be as visible as possible.
