The Best Wireless Mechanical Keyboards (2024) our top picks

Opting for the best wireless mechanical keyboards allows you to bid farewell to cumbersome cords while still savoring the advantages of smooth linear or satisfyingly clicky switches. Despite the advantages wired peripherals offer, it’s worth acknowledging that wireless keyboards have made significant strides in reducing latency and enhancing speed. Besides the obvious cord-free convenience, discerning the disparity between the crème de la crème of gaming keyboards and their wireless counterparts has become quite the challenge in the modern era.

If your dongle can connect to more than one wireless device from the same brand, you can free up a USB port and make your desk less cluttered by going wireless. There are many things to think about when looking at wireless mechanical keyboards, such as their styles, sizes, and specs. Some wireless keyboards connect via Bluetooth, which lets them work with more devices, while others connect to laptops and PCs with a 2.4GHz wireless dongle.

Best Wireless Mechanical Keyboards Comparison Table

Asus ROG Azoth

Check Price

The Asus ROG Azoth is the best wireless gaming keyboard we’ve used. It’s fast, quick, and reliable while gaming, and it’s also a joy to type on. It’s also very customizable, with a 2-inch OLED screen and hot-swappable switches, and it comes with a full accessory kit (including a DIY lube station) for people who want to have full control over their game keyboard. The ROG Azoth is a gasket mount mechanical keyboard with hot-swappable switches, per-key RGB, and doubleshot PBT keycaps.

Its body is made of plastic so that it doesn’t interact with its wireless connections (2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth), but its top plate is made of metal and it has three layers of sound-dampening foam inside. As a result, it sounds great. It also has a great battery life, lasting up to 2,000 hours over 2.4GHz wifi with the OLED screen and lighting turned off.

Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro

Check Price

The Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro is our best wireless gaming keyboard because it has full-size, full-height mechanical switches and all the other features you’d expect from a high-end gaming keyboard. This includes high-end doubleshot ABS plastic keycaps that felt good and looked good during tests. They also resisted smudges much better than competitors and the aluminum top plate of the keyboard. You also get a soft leatherette magnetic wrist rest and four memory settings that are stored on the board.

The BlackWidow V3 Pro can connect with a wireless dongle, the charging cable that comes with it, or Bluetooth, which lets it link with up to 3 more PCs. Depending on the strength and effect of the backlight, the battery life can be anywhere from 5 to 25 hours with lighting and up to 192 hours without. At 3% battery life, the BlackWidow V2 Pro can start to act up, with key presses not being registered right away and apps having trouble finding it.

Keychron Q1 Pro

Check Price

The Keychron Q1 Pro is a great choice for people who are willing to pay more for wireless connection and a better typing experience. Like the non-Pro Keychron Q1, it is made of strong metal, has a volume dial built in, feels great to type on, and can be fully customized. But it also has Bluetooth so you can link it to your computer, phone, or tablet. It’s a big step up from Keychron’s V-series keyboards, and we think the Q1 Pro is a better choice than the wired Keychron Q1.

This is because, for only $20 more than the wired Q1, it has everything the wired Q1 has plus the freedom of Bluetooth. But if you don’t need wifi and are happy with a “good” rather than “great” typing feel, many of the Q1 Pro’s best features, like VIA programming, hot-swappability, and per-key south-facing RGB backlighting, are also available on V-series boards.

Epomaker TH80

Check Price

We really like the Epomaker TH80, which is a portable mechanical keyboard that costs less than most. It feels great to type on, can connect to up to three devices via Bluetooth, and comes with a 2.4GHz wireless USB dongle if you don’t want to mess with Bluetooth pairing. We also like that it comes with different keycaps for Mac and that you can switch between Mac and Windows layouts with a simple keyboard shortcut. Compared to the Q1 Pro, it’s also lighter and easier to carry around.

The Epomaker TH80 is a 75% keyboard like the Keychron V1 and Q1 Pro. It has hotswap switches and a volume button. It has a plastic case and a steel switch plate. It doesn’t feel as high-end as Keychron’s Q-series keyboards, but it has nice crisp PBT keycaps in MDA profile, smooth stabilizers, and a typing feel that’s about the same as the slightly cheaper wired-only Keychron V1. Our review sample had linear Gateron Pro Yellow switches, but you can choose from a variety of linear and clicky switches.

Razer Pro Type Ultra

Check Price

At first look, you might mistake the Pro Type Ultra for the $20 cheaper Pro Type. It’s a full-size, 104-key keyboard with white keycaps above a silver top plate and all-white backlighting instead of the customizable per-key RGB rainbow of Razer’s gaming models. The Ultra is only slightly bigger, measuring 1.6 by 17.3 by 5.2 inches (HWD), not including the soft 17-by-3.7-inch vinyl wrist rest you can put in front of it if you want. (The wrist rest is a separate piece that isn’t connected to the keyboard by a latch or magnet, so you can put it wherever you want.)

The sculpted keycaps are made of soft-touch ABS plastic, and if you like to type at an angle, you can prop the keyboard up at one of two small angles on the bottom back. There are no extras like a volume roller or USB pass-through, but the F1–F3 keys on the top row automatically stop, lower, and raise the volume. The F11 and F12 keys change how bright the backlight is. At its brightest, the backlight is quite bright.
