Right now, you can find a wireless version of virtually any product, from HDMI cables to keyboards. One might even argue that there are too many wireless products. A simple Amazon search for “wireless keyboards” can turn into an anxiety-fueled shopping nightmare. It’s honestly hard to pinpoint which wireless products are genuinely reliable, affordable, or completely useless.

We love wireless products, but we’ve been disappointed by some of our purchases. That’s why we’ve taken the time to find the best wireless products on the market, from affordable wireless mice to premium wireless gamepads. All of these products are reliable, easy to use, and guaranteed to help you live a cable-free lifestyle.

Now, not all wireless products come with a handy USB dongle. If your computer doesn’t support Bluetooth, you may want to grab a USB Bluetooth receiver. These receivers work flawlessly, they’re cheap, and they can connect to up to seven devices at a time.

Wireless Keyboards for Typing and Gaming

The Logitech K790 and the Logitech Craft — Logitech

Let’s be honest; the wire behind a keyboard is an eyesore. It’s plagued the desks of good people for decades, and it should be eliminated from existence. Immediately. OK, OK, even if you don’t feel as strongly about the matter, you have to admit that a desk looks sleek without a cable trailing across it.

Thankfully, wireless keyboards are better than ever. They’re responsive, they look fantastic, and they come in all shapes and sizes. Plus, some wireless keyboards can quick-switch between multiple devices, which is great if you use an extra computer or a tablet at your desk.

Logitech K780 Multi-Device Keyboard ($60) – The K780 is a great little keyboard. It’s stylish, it has a kickstand for phones and tablets, and it can connect to three devices at a time (including keyboards and tablets) via Bluetooth or USB dongle.
Logitech Craft Multi-Device Keyboard with Creative Options Dial ($170) – The Logitech Craft is like the K780’s big brother, and it’s an excellent pick for digital artists. It has a built-in knob that can be programmed for app functions, and it can connect to three devices at a time via Bluetooth or USB dongle.
Arteck Slim Rechargeable Keyboard ($23) – This slim, affordable keyboard is easy to use and easy to take care of. It connects to computers via USB dongle, and it can be recharged with a Micro-USB cable.

Now that you have a clean looking keyboard, it’s time to replace that wired mouse.
