Sometimes your touchscreen or built-in keyboard alone just won't cut it if you're typing all day long. That's why you need a wireless keyboard. Wireless keyboards connect via Bluetooth to your laptop, smartphone, tablet, or streaming device to help you type more comfortably. Plus, they're portable, ergonomic, and they don't take up as much space as traditional wired keyboards.
We've researched several wireless keyboards and have tested a handful of them to find the best one for your workspace. Our picks include both compact and full-sized keyboards with number pads for folks who need them. Although we have included a handful of mechanical keyboards in this guide, the truth is, most mechanical keyboards are not wireless. If you opt for a mechanical keyboard be sure to read this guide for deciding on what switch type will work best for you.
For everyone else, we're still confident in recommending chiclet-style keyboards — which are the most common types of wireless keyboards. These keyboards typically come with rechargeable batteries, standard keyboard layouts that are suitable for Windows or Mac OS, and they have the ability to pair with multiple devices. So, shop our favorite keyboards below so you can have a more comfortable, ergonomic, and wire-free office setup.
The MX Keys from Logitech is arguably the best wireless keyboard out there. It pairs to a total of three devices that you can easily switch between, whether you're using a Mac, a PC, a smartphone, or a tablet.
The keyboard features a built-in number pad and backlit keys. Its rechargeable battery offers an impressive 10 days of power before you'll need to recharge it with the included USB-C cable.
We think if you're in search of a premium-looking and feeling keyboard that offers an excellent blend of comfort and features, you simply can't go wrong with this one.
If you want to stay within a tight budget, the K380 by Logitech is, hands down, your best option. A top pick from Wirecutter and a favorite of our senior home decor editor, this compact accessory is a true powerhouse that can connect with up to three devices — whether they run Mac OS X, Android, iOS, Windows, or Chrome.
The K380 keyboard is comfortable, sturdy, and portable. It also looks great. We like that it can last for up to 2 years before its AAA battery needs a replacement. There are also three colors to pick from: dark gray, rose and off-white.
The Keychron K2 is an outstanding Bluetooth-compatible mechanical keyboard that won't break the bank. It sports a compact 84-key design and tenkeyless layout without sacrificing important keys, is Mac-compatible, and looks nice while still feeling great to type on.
The K2 uses Gateron switches (as opposed to Cherry MX switches). We think most folks will prefer to type on brown switches since they provide the perfect amount of clackiness and tactile response.
We love that the keyboard features a rechargeable battery (which recharges with the included USB-C cable), and has RGB backlighting for typing at night. You can expect a week's worth of battery life before needing to recharge the Keychron K2.
If you're a PC user in search of a mechanical keyboard, we recommend the similar ANNE PRO 2 compact keyboard, which swaps the Mac keys for Windows-centric ones.
Microsoft's Sculpt wireless ergonomic keyboard is the best option for most users looking for a pain-free typing experience. A top pick from both Wirecutter and Digital Trends, it has a split design and a nicely cushioned palm rest.
A separate number pad is a feature that sets this keyboard apart from all of its competitors. The accessory uses a USB hub for connectivity, and it requires two AAA batteries to use. Hate batteries? Consider the rechargeable Logitech Ergo K860 instead.
The Logitech Craft wireless keyboard is made with pro users in mind. It features an input dial that allows you to toggle between functions depending on the application you're using. It's illuminated, extremely comfortable to type on, and has plenty of shortcuts.
We like that you can customize the keyboard's functionality via a desktop software suite and easily switch between devices with a push of a button. So, one minute you can use the keyboard to type on your Mac, and the next, you can shift to easily crank out a text on your iPhone.
The Craft is a pricey but powerful option with a premium-looking design. Although it's designed for laptops and desktop computers, it'll work with your smartphone or tablet, too.
If you have a modern office, you'll absolutely love this keyboard's minimal design! A great pick for Mac users who frequently work with spreadsheets, or for those who just have a lot of numbers to punch in, we recommend Apple's full-size Magic Keyboard. Previously, this ultra sleek space-gray keyboard was only bundled with Apple's 5K iMac Pro, but now Apple sells it as a standalone product.
Key features of the device include an aluminum body, backlit keys, and a rechargeable battery. The latter can provide a month of wireless typing between charges.

Best Wireless Gaming Keyboard
Corsair K63 Wireless Special Edition Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Most gaming keyboards only work with a wired USB connection, and Corsair is one of the few manufacturers that sells a wireless variant of its popular gaming keyboards. This one is the best option for PC gamers who like to game on the couch. It's equipped with Cherry MX Red keys, plenty of hotkeys for music playback, and LED backlights.
You don't have to worry about any delays with this keyboard because its 2.4GHz connection is solid and reliable. We were quite impressed with its battery life, too — you can expect 10 hours of use with the backlights enabled. If you turn off the lights, you can expect a full day of use.
The Matias Laptop Pro is the best option for Mac users who are looking for a wireless mechanical keyboard. This option is the keyboard of choice for our senior electronics editor Brandon Carte. He said that its mechanical switches have excellent tactility and its battery "seriously seems to never die." His only complaint is he wished it recharged over USB-C instead of the full-size USB port.
The laser-etched keys are also impressively quiet, allowing you to type without bothering nearby coworkers, family members, or friends. The keyboard has a trio of USB 2.0 ports. Its built-in battery can last up to a year between charges.
The Apple Magic Keyboard is perfect for Mac, iPhone, and iPad users — and no one else. The latest variant of the compact keyboard has a rechargeable battery via a Lightning port, so it can use your iPhone or iPad's charger. Switching between devices is a tad laborious, but the excellent typing experience makes the exercise well worth it.
Our only complaint about this minimalistic keyboard is that its white keys show dirt and grime over time. On the plus side, it's slim enough to fit in any laptop bag.
The Logitech K480 Bluetooth keyboard is great for typing on the go. It can pair with up to three devices, and it makes it easy to switch between them.
Additionally, it has a nifty slot that lets you prop up your phone or tablet for easy viewing. Best of all, it works with iOS, Android, Windows, and OS X devices, and it has an impressive 2-year battery life.
