Looking for a new keyboard? Why not invest in a wireless keyboard? They can
bring a clean uncluttered look to your desk. You can banish cables from your
desk and feel more productive!
Wireless keyboards have come on leaps and bounds since their earlier
counterparts which may not have been as responsive as you would like.
However, Bluetooth and USB technology has improved dramatically since the
early days and now wireless keyboards are just as good as wired ones in terms of
responsiveness and reliability. Their battery life is much better too. They have
improved their range (how far away can you have the keyboard) and their
latency which is why they are so much more responsive.
Even the gaming keyboards have a better battery life. Many gaming keyboards
have RGB lighting (stands for Red, Green and Blue LED lighting which can be
combined to make any colour combination) and they still don’t drain the battery
as much as in the past. And they look good!
Here’s a look at some of the best wireless keyboards on the market.
This isn’t the best-looking keyboard out of all the ones here but it certainly is one
of the most affordable. It’s also the easiest to set up as you literally just plug in
and it is ready to go! The keyboard is big so it’s not the most easily transportable
but if you are looking for something to work with at home and are looking for a
clutter free desk, then this will more than do the job.
The other downside is that it only connects to one device whereas some of the
others that we will look at can connect to more than one device.
Here’s a review from Tech Radar with all the details you need if this is the
keyboard you are considering buying. It’s for the combined package of mouse
and keyboard which both run off one USB stick so freeing up some of your
computer/laptop ports.

Here’s one of the most expensive keyboards in our review. Built for gaming, it
has many premium features including RGB lighting. The keyboard is well built
and feels premium too, with a plush wrist rest, and lots of impressive switches. It
can be connected to up to 5 devices (3 via Bluetooth, one via USB cable and one
via Razer HyperSpeed wireless) which is great if you like to multi-task between
your PC and your phone!
The price of around £150 is one of the major disadvantages but if you like
gaming, it’s well-built premium keyboard that could be worth the investment.

Of course, the major disadvantage of this keyboard is that it only works with Apple products. However, we couldn’t not include it as it does work well with Apple Macs. It’s very sleek and compact. There are not many features on it but if you have an iPad or Mac, then this is the only keyboard you can use. We found some reconditioned magic keyboards on Amazon for £51.50 but here’s the link to a new “British English” keyboard: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-Magic-Keyboard-British-English/dp/ B09BRFWN1T/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2VDNEEQ5GFGNU&dchild=1&keywords=apple %2Bmagic%2Bkeyboard&qid=1633600743&s=computers&sprefix=apple%2Bma %2Ccomputers%2C178&sr=1-4&th=1
This keyboard falls into the category of best budget buy. Retailing around £39.99
(cheaper on Amazon), this is great value for money as it allows you to connect
up to 3 devices and allows you to toggle between them at the switch of a button
on the keyboard.
It’s also super sleek and travel friendly so you can take it with you wherever you
go. Handy for typing on the go if you want to travel with your phone.
One of the drawbacks is that it isn’t rechargeable but it comes with 2 AAA
batteries which have a 2-year lifespan so that may make up for the loss of that
feature.
Take a look at the keyboard on Logitech’s website and see all the different colour
combinations that it comes in.

Did you know that TKL stands for TenKeyLess keyboard? It means that the
numeric keypad has been removed to create a smaller keyboard. It’s perfect for
those who want to create more space on their desk and perfect for gaming
keyboards.
So, the Logitech keyboard here is much smaller than the rest that we have
reviewed. It can be used for gaming or for productivity as there is a button that
can switch between the two modes. It has responsive keys and a host of other
features that just about justify its price tag of around £170!
Here, Razer have taken all of their gaming expertise and put it into a keyboard
exclusively for productivity. Although it has mechanical keys, it is incredibly
quiet. You can pair up to 4 devices and it offers USB-C charging so it’s very
versatile. It’s not the cheapest at around £139.99 but doesn’t it look great?
