Wireless mechanical keyboards

Wireless mechanical keyboards connect by Bluetooth, by a small 2.4 GHz USB receiver, or both, and nearly all of them still work over a cable when the battery runs down.

Bluetooth is the convenient one: no receiver to lose, and many boards remember several devices so you can switch between a laptop, a tablet and a phone with a key combination. A 2.4 GHz receiver gives a steadier, lower-latency connection, which is what you want for games. Boards with both are the most flexible.

Things to check: battery size and how long it lasts with the lighting on, which can be a small fraction of the figure with lighting off; whether the board charges and works over USB-C at the same time; and whether the remapping software works while wireless. Our wireless guide goes through each of these.
