6 Best Bluetooth and Wireless Keyboards of 2026


It’s compact

The Logitech MX Keys Mini and Logitech MX Keys Mini for Mac are compact keyboards like the MX Keys S — they have comfortable, backlit keys, and can pair with up to three devices via Bluetooth. But compared to our development choices, these models feel less satisfying to write and lack more additional features.

Apple’s Magic Keyboard offers a solid typing experience, but it’s expensive and lacks device flexibility, and Apple doesn’t make a Windows version.

The Keychron B33 is a decent budget option with square keys and deeper travel than usual on inexpensive keyboards, and is fully customizable in the browser-based Keychron Launcher app. But it has a small built-in battery that cannot be replaced.

The Satechi Slim EX1 supports Windows and Mac and has a replaceable battery, but it doesn’t feel good to list it as our top pick, despite its high price.

The Mokibo Fusion keyboard feels like magic. It includes a trackpad that you use by swiping your fingers over the keycaps – and it works great! In my testing, it occasionally failed to register click-to-click, but overall swipes and gestures were more reliable than I expected. But the Fusion keyboard’s space bar is separated from the physical click button, which is very difficult to get used to if you’re used to hitting the middle of the space bar. And several keys on the right side are so small that they prevent accurate typing.

Our testers prefer the square keys of the Keychron B1 Pro to the round keys on the Keychron B3 Pro.

The Jlab Epic Mini has a usable knob, but its keys feel cheap and clunky. The company claims only four months of battery life with the backlight off, only four days on.

The foldable ProtoArc XK01 Plus feels mushy and hollow to type on, and the hinges around the keyboard get in the way of pressing the keys on the bottom row.

The Cherry KW7100 Mini BT flexes under pressure, and has sharp, uncomfortable edges.

The Cherry KW 9200 Mini, Satechi Slim X1, and Zagg Pro Keyboard 12 are expensive compared to our top picks and have limited features.

The Logitech Keys-To-Go can only pair with one device at a time and is covered in a Cronenbergian texture that Logitech calls FabricSkin. Typing on it felt like poking someone’s clothed thigh or squeezing a Band-Aid on someone’s arm.

The Satechi OntheGo Bluetooth Keyboard with Stand is quite heavy for a portable keyboard, and the lip at the bottom of the case blocks the space bar.

The JLab Go Wireless Keyboard and JLab JBuds Wireless Keyboard flex under normal typing pressure, and their keys feel cheap and rattly.

The Arteck HB030B has small, compact keys. The Arteck Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard feels cheap, its keys rattle, and it flexes under light pressure.

Samsers Foldable Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad has small, hard-to-press keys for certain characters. Because it folds backwards, it collapsed when I used it on my lap.

The keys of the Omoton Ultra-Slim Bluetooth keyboard are incredibly well spaced, and they don’t come with batteries.

Full size

The HP 725 Multi-Device Rechargeable Wireless Keyboard feels great to type on but costs more than the K585 with similar features.

Like its compact counterpart, the full-size Keychron B36 is a decent budget option, but it has a small and non-replaceable built-in battery.

The HP 460 Multi-Device Bluetooth Keyboard has deep key travel, but it feels hollow and hollow compared to our picks.

The Logitech K780 Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard is wider, heavier, and usually more expensive than the K585, and its round keys are distinguishable.

The Logitech Signature Slim Solar+ K980 and the Lenovo Self-charging Bluetooth Keyboard both charge from sunlight or room light, but both models require at least 200 lux to charge. Of the 10 people we asked to rate, only two had enough light on their desks to charge these keyboards: one person whose desk sits in direct sunlight, another whose workspace is lit by a light therapy lamp. The Logitech solar keyboard doesn’t have a USB-C port to charge the keyboard in other ways if you don’t have enough light, and the Lenovo keyboard feels mushy to type on and doesn’t have a macOS layout.

The Logitech Signature Slim K950 keyboard doesn’t match the premium build quality of the MX Keys S, and it doesn’t feel as nice to type on as the less expensive K585.

The Logitech Craft is expensive compared to the MX Keys S and isn’t as fun to type or as feature-rich as our upgrade picks.

The Keychron B4 Pro has round shaped keys that are more distinguishable than the square keys of the B3 Pro.

Typing on the Logitech K250 Compact Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard feels loud and clear. It does not have a USB dongle and can only connect to one Bluetooth device.

The Satechi Slim X3 Bluetooth Backlit Keyboard has no Windows layout and no USB dongle.

The Contour Balance Full-Size Keyboard provides the same typing experience as the MX Keys S and negative tilt, but lacks backlighting and macOS support.

The Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad is expensive and Mac-only, and can only pair with one device at a time.

The Satechi Slim EX3, Dell Premier Collaboration KB900 keyboard, JLab Epic Wireless keyboard, Zagg Pro 15 keyboard, and Zagg Pro 17 keyboard feel as good to type as our picks.

The Targus Energy Harvesting EcoSmart keyboard dropped keys during our testing, a problem we haven’t had with other less expensive models.

The performance of the Logitech MK850 felt cheap and unsatisfying to type on.

Low profile equipment

The Nuphy Node75 feels and feels nice to type on, but it has a nice touch bar instead of a rotary knob. The unreliable and unclear touch bar made it difficult to change my computer’s volume, and when I succeeded it was only in six increments.

The Iqunix Magi65, Magi75, and Magi96 cost more than our upgrade picks and are only available as line switches. They are also very heavy, bulky, and demanding to rearrange.

The Iqunix MQ80 is also expensive and heavy. Our review unit had several overloaded switches that felt dull, and we saw other user reviews citing similar issues.

The Lofree Flow Lite84 and Flow Lite100 have smaller batteries than our upgrade options and require a software download for customization. And they fall short of our choice to improve on their build quality.

The Asus ROG Falchion RX Low Profile feels nice to type on and looks stylish, but compared to our picks, it’s available with fewer replacement options, lacks hot swapping, and is difficult to configure using Asus’s Armory Crate software.

The Chilkey ND75 LP is heavy, its wireless switch is awkwardly hidden under the right Shift key, and it takes an educated guess to change the display to English. The backspace key on our review unit felt mushy and stuck repeatedly.

Keychron’s K Max series keyboards — which include the K1 Max, K3 Max, K5 Max, K7 Max, and K17 Max — feel comfortable to type on and have excellent build quality, but they all have much smaller batteries than the NuPhy Air75 V3 and Air96 V2.

Compared to our upgrade picks, the Keychron K3 QMK Wireless, K1 QMK Wireless, and K5 QMK Wireless have cheaper ABS keycaps and smaller batteries. They also don’t have a USB dongle.

The Lofree Flow feels nice to type, but compared to our upgrade selector, the Lofree offers fewer switch options and the Flow’s hot-swap sockets aren’t compatible with most switch types. The Flow also has a short battery life, lacks full customization via VIA, and lacks RGB lighting.

The full-size Jlab Epic Mechanical keyboard has cheap-feeling ABS keycaps and a spacebar buzzer. It also lacks RGB and thermal modulation, which NuPhy models have at the same price.

The Satechi SM1 or SM3 don’t feel as good to type on as we prefer the upgrade, and both lack thermal switches and RGB lighting. And they have small batteries.

Keychron’s K5 Pro doesn’t feel as smooth and satisfying to type on, and you have to pay more for RGB and thermal modulation.

The Logitech MX Mechanical Mini and Logitech MX Mechanical are more expensive, don’t feel great to type on, and lack more exciting features compared to our upgrade picks.

The Cherry KW 550 MX LP sounds scratchy, and the keys take a lot of pressure to operate. The Cherry KW X ULP 2.0 Mini also feels solid and crisp to type. Both models lack RGB lighting and thermal switching.

The Royal Kludge F68 collapsible folds in half like a tall candy bar, but the keys aren’t secure when you want to slip it into a bag. Its shape is flimsy and doesn’t work if you use the keyboard on your lap, and the F68 feels softer and cheaper to type on than our pick.

The Razer Joro isn’t really a low-profile mechanical keyboard; it’s a $140 scissor keyboard. Its keys are compact and don’t feel as comfortable to type as the mechanical shift keys of our upgrade selectors.

Number pads

The Foloda Wireless Number Pad wobbles and jiggles under normal typing pressure, and its keys rattle.
