The best wireless gaming keyboards do more than get you in the action cord-free. They're fast, with a sturdy battery life, all the extra features you could ask for, and a form factor that lends itself to your setup. That means one wireless gaming keyboard might work perfectly for one player and not another, and considering these can be expensive accessories it's crucial you work out exactly what you need from your deck before you buy. 

We've put together a full list of the best wireless gaming keyboards on the market right now, after putting a range of models through their paces across work, play, and everything in between. Many of these are some of the best gaming keyboards money can buy overall, so you know you're not sacrificing anything important by opting for a cordless model. However, we have still paid due attention to every budget here, so you won't have to break the bank to achieve that untethered lifestyle. 

We test wireless gaming keyboards in the same way we would test any other device - we run through actuation speeds and response times, assess durability, design, form factor, and scale, and run each keyboard through a series of in-game tests. To find the best wireless gaming keyboards, though, we're always keeping a close eye on that battery level and RGB brightness to make sure no corners have been cut.

One of the most expensive decks on the market

The Asus ROG Azoth is the best wireless gaming keyboard overall, but you're paying a lot of cash for extra features here. That means it's not one for those just after a cable-free setup, but rather for those who want to completely change their experience (and then change it again... and again). 

Buy it if:

✅ You're happy to invest: With a $249 starting price, the Asus ROG Azoth isn't a cheap piece of kit. However the durable build and hot-swappable switches mean we're confident this is a deck that can last. 

✅ You want hot-swappability: Very few gaming keyboards with hot-swappable switches are this fast, so if you want that extra customization without sacrificing speed this is the way to go. 

✅ You prefer a snappier typing feel: The ROG NX switches supplied out the box are particularly snappy with a faster actuation than more traditional linear options from Cherry MX.

Don't buy it if:

❌ You need a full-sized deck: In our experience a 75% deck walks that perfect line between size and functionality, but if you want extra controls or a number pad you'll need a full sized option.
❌ You rely on dedicated macro buttons: There are no dedicated clickers for programmable macro controls here, so while the full deck is customizable anyone after some spare keys will be better served elsewhere. 

Design: The Azoth takes inspiration from the expensive world of custom decks, packing a 75% form factor that keeps all your navigation and arrow buttons but leaves plenty of room for wilder mouse sweeps. That inspiration extends into the aesthetic as well, with lighter gray keycaps surrounded by darker ones for a custom keyboard design. That gives the Azoth an air of subtlety, which is only pierced ever so slightly by the RGB lighting running through each keycap and the angular lines across each side. Slim bezels, a stout but sturdy form factor, and excellent key spacing makes this a stunner in look and feel. 

Features: The hot-swappable, gasket mounted design of the Azoth not only means you'll be able to swap the switches for a completely different feel, but you're doing so in comfort and style. Add in super tactile PBT keycaps and a softer but still snappy feeling ROG NX switch out the box and this is a recipe for a seriously luxurious typing feel. Of course, the Azoth doesn't stop there. You're getting both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connections as well as an OLED display panel in the top right corner. This can be configured for a number of purposes, from displaying your music to system info. Next to that you'll also find a programmable switch for media playback or profile settings. 

Performance: You're getting the best typing experience we've had in a long time here, and with excellent wireless performance on top. We ran the Azoth for a week straight in our testing, and only had to refuel once in that time.

The worlds of the pro typist and pro gamer have collided here, to create a supremely comfortable, endlessly customizable, solidly durable gaming keyboard.

Asus ROG Azoth review

We often find that hot-swappable wireless gaming keyboards lack the speed to truly keep up with their standard switch-sticking competition. However, there's plenty of responsive action under the hood here, all the anti-ghosting and N-key rollover you can handle, and space for up to six profiles. A fully programmable deck is also difficult to find in these enthusiast level decks, and even the OLED display in the top right corner shines with a surprising level of detail. 

Verdict: This is an all-in-one powerhouse. It's not a cheap powerhouse, but if you're looking to sink some cash into a wireless gaming keyboard with plenty of premium extras, this is your best bet.

The best cheap wireless gaming keyboard

2. Corsair K63 Wireless

The best cheap wireless gaming keyboard

Specifications

Type: Mechanical
Connection: 2.4GHz / Bluetooth 4.2 / wired
Size: TKL
Switches: Cherry MX Red
Keycaps: ABS
Media keys: Dedicated
Wrist rest: Detachable
Battery: up to 20 hours full brightness / 70 hours no RGB
Weight: 1.9kg

Reasons to buy

+
Affordable price point
+
Compact design 
+
Reliable connection

Reasons to avoid

-
No onboard memory
-
Shorter battery life
-
Blue lighting only

The Corsair K63 Wireless may carry a $109 / £119 MSRP, but in reality we haven't seen this cheap wireless gaming keyboard go above $100 / £100 in a seriously long time.

Buy it if:

✅ This is your first wireless gaming keyboard: The Corsair isn't going to be something to upgrade to, but if this is your first time cutting the cord and you don't want to invest too much it's an excellent jumping off point. 

✅ You don't need custom profiles: If you rarely set up full profiles for certain games the lack of onboard memory isn't going to harm your everyday experience. 

✅ You don't want to move into three figure pricing: If you're on a budget there are plenty of wireless gaming keyboards out there offering far less at this price point. This is where we've found the best value in two figures so far. 

Don't buy it if:

❌ You play competitively: The speed of the K63 Wireless can't compete with newer, more expensive machines. If you're after something designed for speed this isn't it. 

❌ You have a full RGB setup: The K63 doesn't offer control over its LEDs, so you'll be stuck with this blue aesthetic. That's not ideal if you're running a full iCue setup.

Design: If you're simply after a wire-free setup, and don't mind losing out on some of the more premium features, this is a must-see. The TKL design keeps that footprint small on your desktop, and also provides space for wider sweeping mouse movements.

Features: The tech touted by these cordless planks usually makes them considerably more expensive than their wired counterparts, but the Corsair K63 is an exception. That's because you're dropping a few quality of life features like onboard memory, longer battery life, and full spectrum RGB lighting to secure a deck with a reliable wireless connection for a great price. 

You can still enjoy blue LEDs under your keycaps as well, a 1,000Hz polling rate, full N-key rollover, and macros assigned to any key. All of that, along with the dedicated media controls and wrist rest, means the Corsair K63 Wireless is serving some seriously impressive value for money these days.

Performance: Cherry MX Red switches are working hard to keep your keypresses snappy and light as well. You can even slot it straight into a separate lap board for couch play on Xbox. The sound of each keypress does reverberate across the board a little more than we'd like, as is a staple of these cheaper Corsair keyboards. However, you're getting plenty of speed for everyday gaming without the bells and whistles of onboard profiles.

Verdict: The Corsair K63 Wireless is an oldie, but its low price point and solid value proposition keep it moving off the shelves. It's the best wireless gaming keyboard for those saving the pennies and an excellent jumping off point into the world of dedicated play decks overall. 

The best full-sized wireless gaming keyboard

3. Logitech G915 Lightspeed

The best full-sized wireless gaming keyboard

Specifications

Type: Mechanical low profile
Connection: 2.4GHz / Bluetooth
Size: Full
Switches: GL low profile mechanical - linear, tactile, clicky
Keycaps: ABS
Media keys: Dedicated playback, volume roller
Wrist rest: None
Battery: Up to 30 hours full brightness / 96 hours no RGB
Weight: 1kg

Reasons to buy

+
Sleek mechanical switches
+
Slimline design
+
Dedicated macro keys
+
Solid battery life

Reasons to avoid

-
ABS keycaps pick up oil
-
No wrist rest

The Logitech G915 Lightspeed has long been considered the gold standard for wireless gaming keyboards.

Buy it if:

✅ You want a low profile set of keys: If you don't like the heavier feel of a full-sized set of keys, a low profile deck is perfect. This is a particularly slimline model which means speedy movement across the board.
✅ A reliable wireless connection is a must: If you're after rock solid reliability in your wireless connection, Logitech's Lightspeed tech is hard to beat. We've never experienced a drop in our device.
✅ You want dedicated macro buttons: With five macro buttons running up the left side you've got plenty of choice when it comes to additional commands and combos. That's perfect for a number of genres and playstyles. 

Don't buy it if:

❌ A wrist rest is important: We would have expected a wrist rest considering the higher price tag and full-sized length, but unfortunately Logitech doesn't include one in the box.
❌ You prefer longer key travel: Low profile clickers aren't for everyone, so if you prefer the extended travel of a more tactile, larger keycap it's worth sticking to something more traditional.

Design: With its slimline, sleek aesthetic and snappy low profile mechanical keys, you'll be flying across this board in no time. The Logitech G915 boasts a more subtle design than other larger boards. The brushed baseplate feels solid underhand, and each of the skinny keycaps feels securely placed. A volume roller and dedicated media controls are easy to access in the top right hand corner, as are the macro buttons running along the left. By nature, this is a larger deck, so if you have a cramped setup it's not going to leave much room for mouse sweeps.

Features: You're getting bags of extra features for your cash here; five dedicated macro keys, a suite of media controls, an aluminium top casing, and the ability to pair to two devices at the same time. That means this isn't exactly a cheap gaming keyboard, but thanks to its age, we are seeing that $229.99 / £209.99 MSRP sliding. Prices are closer to $180 / £140 these days, which is still a considerable investment, but by no means knocking on the doors of Razer's pricing. 

That 30-hour peak brightness battery life certainly stands out from the crowd too (the far more expensive Razer Blackwidow V3 Pro featured below only offers up to 13 hours on full whack). While it can't quite match other options on this list with that RGB switched off, those looking for a bright and colorful experience should prioritise this best of both worlds approach. 

Performance: Not only that, but your wireless connection will keep up thanks to an excellent Lightspeed dongle receiver feeding information to your PC with aplomb. Each key actuates with perfect response time, offering up snappy gameplay and a particularly speedy deck to manoeuvre. That's down to the low profile design offering up a shorter travel distance between each key. It doesn't sound like much, but on the battlefield (and once you've got the muscle memory down) it can make all the difference. 

Verdict: The Logitech G915 has some stiff competition from the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro. We love both, but the lower price point, additional controls, and skinnier keys of Logitech's entry earns it the top spot here.

Battery: 30 hours
Weight: 976g

+

+

+

Reasons to avoid

-
Fully customizable option is expensive

Can get similar features for less if you don't care about aesthetics

The Logitech G715 posed a conundrum for us when it first launched back in 2022. At the time, this was a $200 / £200 keyboard with additional extras that pushed it well past that threshold. We were impressed with the deck overall, but for the cash there were better options on the market. Flash forward to 2024 and those costs have dropped, making now the perfect time to consider it one of the best wireless gaming keyboards on the market. 

Buy it if:

You don't like the traditional gamer aesthetic: The matte white design, soft rounded corners, and cloud shaped wrist rest certainly sets the G715 apart from the blacks and grays we've become accustomed to. 

You want a high quality typing experience: Super satisfying switches and luxury PBT keycaps make the everyday typing experience here particularly enjoyable.

You prefer a clicky switch: We tested with Logitech GX Tactile switches which provided a super clean sound and crisp actuation bump - perfect for those who prefer a clicky experience.

Don't buy it if:

You prioritize extra features over aesthetics: The G715 packs a range of extra features, but other models also offer hot-swappability and dedicated macro controls without that cozy aesthetic.

You want a full suite of keys: Of course, if you want access to a full number pad, a TKL form factor isn't going to be the best route. 

Design: While other wireless gaming keyboards keep things traditional with blacks, grays, and a blaze of RGB LEDs, the Logitech G715 keeps things cozier. With soft rounded corners, an all-white design, and a pillowy cloud-shaped wrist rest, this is a super soft aesthetic that looks fantastic in a range of setups. 

That matte plastic covering feels super high quality, though we did note in testing that it picks up a good amount of dust and shows it. The more pastel aligned RGBs are still present under each keycap, though shine through with surprising force. If you do get tired of that plain white chassis, there are swappable faceplates available separately.

Features: The G715 comes with a range of Logitech's GX switches to choose from. We received the clicky option and, despite preferring a linear switch for most of our testing, were pleasantly surprised by the lightness of each clack and the clean auditory profile. Logitech has packed its 2.4GHz 'Lightspeed' connection in here as well as a Bluetooth and wired option should you need it. A solid range of dedicated media controls tops everything off, with a comfortable volume roller to boot. 

Performance: Despite preferring a softer switch, the GXs under each keycap here were particularly pleasing in testing. In combination with the luxury PBT caps up top, both gameplay and everyday typing were super snappy and responsive. Faster paced titles benefitted from the speedy actuation of that bump, with more than enough time for quick repeat keypresses. That battery life also held up well. Logitech marketed a 30 hour lifespan here, though we managed to stretch just beyond this benchmark - running the keyboard for a full work week with gaming in the evening without having to plug in. 

Verdict: With its suite of media controls, luxury keycaps, alternative design, and satisfying typing experience, the Logitech G715 is a go-to for anyone after a TKL form factor. While that price may have been prohibitive in its early days, with current sales it's a must-see.

The best 60% wireless gaming keyboard

The best wireless gaming keyboard for adjustable switches

Specifications

Type: Mechanical adjustable
Connection: 2.4GHz / Bluetooth
Size: 60%
Switches: SteelSeries OmniPoint 2.0
Keycaps: Doubleshot PBT
Media keys: Dual-function
Wrist rest: None
Battery: 30 hours 2.4GHs / 40 hours Bluetooth
Weight: 543g

Reasons to buy

+
Dual-step actuation is a game-changer
+
Satisfying, comfortable typing experience
+
Super fast response times

Reasons to avoid

-
More expensive than Razer's wired model
-
Slight RGB issues
-
Slow charging battery

The SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini Wireless is no cheap affair. This thing clocks in at $239.99 / £219.99, which is a big ask considering it's a smaller 60% deck. While we do think that MSRP is a bit audacious, this could very well be one of your best setup decisions if found on sale.

Buy it if

✅ You want a more personalized key feel: The customization of each switch's actuation point means you can nail the exact moment you want a keypress to register. That makes for extremely accurate inputs once you get the numbers right.
✅ A wireless connection is a must: There are few keyboards offering this kind of switch personalization in a wireless form factor, so SteelSeries is one of your best options at the moment.
✅ You don't mind losing arrow keys: This 60% design foregoes traditional arrow keys, which can be difficult for certain games. 

Don't buy it if:

You want to spend less: If adjustable switches trump a wireless connection in your list of priorities, there are cheaper wired options out there from Razer.
You want a speedy charge: We did notice that the internal battery charged up a little slower compared to other competitors, which means this is one you'll be leaving overnight for a full juice up.

Design: The Apex Pro Mini Wireless comes with a pretty stock design. The black keyboard sits on a solid baseplate with minimal bezels and no flex in the main deck. We did note the lack of arrow keys in this design, an outdated feeling throwback to the core 60% decks of yesteryear. Plenty of compact machines are keeping these all-important clickers these days, so it's frustrating that SteelSeries has abandoned them in this premium product. 

Features: The OmniPoint 2.0 switches housed under each doubleshot PBT keycap do the heavy lifting here. These switches can be customized to actuate between anything from 0.2mm and 3.8mm which means you can fine-tune your typing experience to the sensitivity that you prefer. Elsewhere, you'll find media controls and macros bound to dual-function keys and you'll also enjoy a wide range of RGB customization options as well. 

Performance: In our testing, we noticed the shortest setting of those switches to be a little too feather-light for our touch, clocking a slower overall WPM rate compared to the standard out of the box 1.8mm setting. The real benefit is dual-actuation, though. Using the SteelSeries GG software you can program up to eight keys to offer two macros per keypress - one assigned to a lighter press and another to a full bottom out. 

We used this to map a walk function to a light press of W, upping things to sprint when pushing all the way down. That's a game-changer if you're looking to keep your macros even closer to hand than usual - especially if you're balancing between skill cooldowns. 

With a miniature 60% form factor, a whole world of customization tools, and a fancy set of switches under the hood, things are looking good for SteelSeries right now.

SteelSeries Apex Pro Mini review

Verdict: There's a caveat here. This is the best wireless gaming keyboard to offer variable switch actuation points. The wired Razer Huntsman Mini Analog packs a far lower price point and extra analog features into its own clickers. Razer's model allows for variable actuation as well, which means you can adjust the command based on exactly how hard you're pushing, rather than relying on the remaining on / off system of the SteelSeries. If you're not completely sold on a fully untethered setup we'd point you straight in that direction. If you're here purely for wireless gaming keyboards, though, this is the best of the cable-free bunch.

The most portable wireless gaming keyboard

The best wireless gaming keyboard for portability

Specifications

Type: Mechanical low profile
Connection: 2.4GHz / Bluetooth / Wired
Size: 65%
Switches: Cherry MX Low Profile Speed
Keycaps: ABS
Media Keys: Dual-function
Wrist rest: No
Battery: 20 hours (tested)
Weight: 762g

Reasons to buy

+
Slick, compact design
+
Featherlight but durable construction
+
Super speedy switches
+
Smooth, soft keycaps
+
Excellent connectivity options

Reasons to avoid

-
Not ergonomic enough for longer typing sessions
-
65% means fewer onboard controls
-
PBT keycaps would have been nice at this price point

One of switch manufacturer Cherry's first gaming keyboards in partnership with Xtrfy, the MX-LP 2.1 manages to cram a high end set of clickers into an impossibly compact shell. 

Buy it if:

You travel regularly: The low weight and compact size, as well as that solid form factor, makes this an excellent option for anyone taking their setup on the road.
You don't mind low profile keys: The low profile design keeps those keys safe, so if you're after a nippier typing experience with less travel you're sorted from both angles here.
You need plenty of connection options: Going to be switching between PCs regularly? With a whole host of different Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connection options, the MX-LP 2.1 is ready for anything. 

Don't buy it if:

You'll be typing for longer sessions: The smaller size did leave us feeling a strain after longer typing sessions, so this isn't one for constant use.
You need more onboard controls: The compact design doesn't leave much room for dedicated media or macro buttons. If you're after more control at your fingertips, it's worth checking out a 75% option. 

Design: That smaller frame does mean you're dropping certain additional features like dedicated media controls, but the 65% form factor ensures those all important arrow keys are still alive and kicking.

The lighter weight doesn't mean this is a cheaper build, though. Everything about this construction feels solid and durable - it's just not going to weigh your backpack down. Yes, this is a full plastic design, but considering it's still well put together with very little flex on the main deck we'd gladly take the extra portability over a stocky, cumbersome aluminium frame. It also looks great on just about any desk you can think of. Between the super skinny bezel and vivid orange accents across space, escape, and enter keys, there's plenty to love here. Cherry has taken its aesthetic inspiration from the world of custom keyboards, with a darker gray main set of keys and lighter navigation and function elements to the sides. 

Features: Underneath all those soft keycaps (at over $100, we could have expected to see PBT here instead of the cheaper ABS), you'll find a set of well tuned switches offering a fluid typing experience and particularly speed bounce back. If you're taking your wireless gaming keyboard on the go, you'll also be glad to hear there's not just excellent connectivity options here, but switching between the three Bluetooth channels with a simple key command. Of course, you're still getting a speedier 2.4GHz connection as well. 

Performance: All of that meant we were springing across the main deck in both work and play, moving slightly quicker than we did on our daily driver, the Asus ROG Azoth above. 

This is by far the lightest wireless gaming keyboard I've had my hands on, and it's a go-to for anyone who travels to play or work.

Cherry MX-LP 2.1 review

The size did start to impact comfort levels during our testing towards the end of a longer working day, especially considering the extra height offered around the back still leaves the experience a little flatter than we would have liked. 

Verdict: The Cherry MX-LP 2.1 isn't going to be for everyone. It's limited by its size in terms of extra features and battery life, but that low weight and durable build make it an excellent travel companion overall.

Wireless gaming keyboards FAQ

Corsair K70 Pro Mini side

(Image credit: Future)

Are wireless keyboards good for gaming?

Wireless gaming keyboards have traditionally taken a bad rap from players. However, while older models did struggle to keep up with wired models when it came to latency, connection reliability, and features, we're seeing many of those concerns disappearing. Of course, cheaper models will still lag slightly behind similarly priced wired keyboards. With speedy response times and reliable connections, though, they will still provide a solid gaming experience. Plus, up at the upper mid-range and top price ranges, the battlefield is a little more balanced as well. 

Should you buy a wireless gaming keyboard?

The best wireless gaming keyboards can combine incredible performance with a portable form factor that keeps your setup clean and tidy. However, they can come with a premium. If you're just looking for a nice set of keys under your fingers, we'd recommend checking out standard cabled decks. You'll likely find better performance and more features for your cash, and you'll find a far greater range of budget-minded devices to boot. 

All the same, if you're willing to invest a little more, a wireless gaming keyboard can make your whole gaming desk feel just a little more cohesive. If you're facing a particularly tricky connection situation, or you're simply on the move a lot, it might be worth spending a little more on a connection type that can keep up. 

Should you use Bluetooth or 2.4GHz on your wireless gaming keyboard?

The best wireless gaming keyboards will offer a 2.4GHz connection via a USB dongle that attaches to your PC. Bluetooth simply doesn't offer the speeds or stability that this newer wireless connection method can, but can be relied on for everyday productivity tasks.
