Hey everyone! I was hope you all could help me with choosing my next keyboard. I am currently rocking a Razer Blackwidow Chroma v3 which has done me good overall but my situation has changed a bit. I am starting to move back and forth a lot recently with going from my University to home and back so im moving my set up a lot. Luckily i already got a mini itx build so the pc is no problem but ive noticed that the bulky and full size keyboard hinders me a bit as i constantly have to unplug and reroute it every time (same goes for the mouse). Ive decided to make my life easier and get a wireless and smaller form factor keyboard so id appreciate the help as im not too well versed in keyboards (ive been with razer since i started building pcs 10 years ago)
My Criterias:
-Wireless but also has wired functionality
-75% or smaller just as long as its not as big as a full size
-good battery life with usb c charging
-under $150, $200 if its really worth it
I do not care much about rgb or programability, as long as it has some sort of backlight. Ill prob just leave it at a single color anyways. I use the yellow switches on my blackwidow v3 and i like them so if there is one with similar switches that is great but im open to suggestions.
I will be mainly using it for school work and gaming so durability and stoke life is important.
I was thinking of getting the Razer Huntsman mini but ik “real” keyboard people disapprove of razer so i thought id ask. Ive also been told that the RK Royal and KeyChron are good but wanted to confirm.
Thank you for your help (and if u have any wireless mouse recommendations, send them over as well)
I currently own a Black Widow V3 Razer keyboard that is wired. The 'W' key has started to become unresponsive and unpredictable, and after trying tons of troubleshooting steps I've made peace with the fact that the board is toast.
I'm now in the market for another keyboard, and was eyeing up the Logitech G195 Wireless keyboard as a replacement as I have a G Pro Superlight Wireless mouse and I love it.
What are people's thoughts on wireless boards though? Are they just as good as wired these days or should I avoid wireless and stick to wired?
Thanks in advance!

Hi I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive wireless keyboard. I will be using it mainly for writing and programming. Some keyboards that I'm interested in are the Logitech K585, K270 and the Logitech pop icons.
Which keyboard would be the best for a writer?
What I'm looking for in a keyboard:
Comfortable. I want a keyboard that I can type for hours on end on without wrist pain. This is the most important aspect.
Affordable. My budget is a maximum of $90
Wireless (2.4 GhZ and/or Bluetooth)
Able to connect to multiple devices.
Spill resistance is a huge plus but not necessary
If it helps, I have relatively large hands ( 7 inches long)
I'm in the market for a HE keyboard that's wireless (I would like to be able to take this with me for university) to offset my current laptop keyboard. When I'm home I would then like to hook it up to my PC so I can use it for regular desktop use. In terms of requirements:
> A bit obvious but must be wireless
> Must be 75% or smaller, since its intended for portability.
> It needs to have SOCD/Snap Tap, as well as a good implementation for Rapid Trigger.
> It must not be too heavy
> One of the most important things - it must have a nice and creamy sound.
I'm not *too* into my keyboards but I've done my fair bit of research. I'm not too sure about whether polling rate really matters to me or not but I would prefer if it could also do 8k polling (at least wired if not always).
From my research, I am left with only 3 options for manufacturers.
> Monsgeek/Akko
> Keychron
> Attack Shark
My, perhaps only, issue with the Monsgeek Fun60 Ultra is that its 60%, not 65%. Notably. its missing arrow keys. This isn't a huge issue when I'm doing work on my laptop for university, but if this keyboard is meant for use both at university as well as at home, then I would be left without arrow keys on my desktop PC - and as someone that also does work on their desktop PC, I'm not sure if that's a sacrifice I can make.
EDIT: On further research, I stumbled across the Akko/Monsgeek M1W V3 HE. I wanted to know if anyone knew about it, and whether it was worth considering against the Keychron K2 HE?
FINAL EDIT: I finally settled on the Yunzii RT80 because of similar levels of creaminess to the K2 HE, lower weight, decent software and receiver storage.
What's your top 3 wireless keyboards for 2024 that is full sized?
I prefer mechanical, and that it lasts longer than 3 hours unlike my existing keyboard.
Budget has no limits.
Hello everyone,
I’m in the market for a new wireless keyboard and could really use some advice from the community. I’ve got quite specific requirements, so I’m hoping someone here has experience with similar needs.
My Use Case
Gaming: Primarily FPS games, so I need something responsive with minimal latency
Professional work: Long-form writing sessions and statistical analysis work
Mixed usage: This will be my daily driver for both gaming and productivity
Key Requirements
Full-size layout: I absolutely need a numpad for my statistical work, so TKL is out of the question
Wireless connectivity: Preferably 2.4GHz or Bluetooth (or ideally both)
Comfortable for extended typing: I spend hours writing reports and documents
Reliable build quality: This needs to last through heavy daily use
Also I have some Qs for community
Any recommendations for keyboards that excel at both gaming and productivity?
How’s the latency on modern wireless gaming keyboards compared to wired?
Battery life experiences with your wireless keyboards?
Any brands/models I should avoid?
I’ve been looking at some options online, but there’s quite a lot of conflicting information about wireless performance for gaming. I’d much rather hear from people who’ve actually used these keyboards day-to-day.
Budget isn’t a massive concern if the quality justifies the price, but I’d prefer to stay reasonable rather than going for the absolute top-end models.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Basically title. I see a lot of mixed reviews on wireless keyboards but I am looking to upgrade my old Corsair mechanical. I want to still have mechanical keys and RGB. Doesn’t have to be full sized. Even considering 60%. Primarily gaming at my desk but want the option to step back and use my peripherals on a TV. Any recommendations?
Preferably around 60-75% My budget is max 70 dollars or a little over. Tell me if you need anything more specific.
Hi. So i have a budget of 200€ and i don't know what keyboard should i buy. I want a wireless connection and I would preffer the TKL size. It should not be loud but i wont mind if it wasn't too quiet. I was looking at the Razen Blackwidow V3 Pro and the Razer Blackwidow V4 TKL.
I am looking to buy a new wireless keyboard and mouse but there are loads of options.
Please can anyone recommend one they have that they really like?
Thanks in advance
My keyboard is always plugged and stays on my desk. To me the less lithium batteries I have to deal with the better, it's just another unnecessary fire hazard especially when it's always plugged and I sleep next to my desk. Wireless mice are great but keyboards? There are some uses for wireless keyboards like using them from bed or couch but you're not going to use an expensive and heavy mechanical keyboard for that. Also they just make keyboards more expensive and lower their lifespan.
Edit: by wireless I mean it has a batttery but can be used wireless or wired.
My budget is around ₹3k. My primary usage will be coding. I am in 3rd year. I dont want to buy a full black color keyboard, I would prefer if it looks and sounds good. There are lots of them shown in youtube reviews, dont know which one to go for. I would really appreciate any input.
Planning to get a dedicated wireless keyboard for my work laptop that i will only be using for coding.
Im leaning towards mechanical keyboards but if you can recommend non mechanical keyboards im open to that
I have a RK65 but realized i need the F keys (lol) so maybe 75% layouts kinda like the Royal kludge RK75 cuz its compact but still has the F keys
Any recommendations around 3k?
There will be no gaming, only the usual office / home work. No need for fancy RGB, just white is fine.
So, I'm still new to this cool community and to ergonomic keyboards. One thing, which keep surprising me is how often I see wired keyboards. Or better to say I see almost only wired keyboards.
This is surprising for me, because I've been using only wireless keyboards from Logitech since 2016 and I've never experienced a single problem.
What is the reason for that?
are there problems with nano!nano v2?
when I understand it correctly, it is only ZMK compatible, is this a reason?
what are the possibilities for wireless? I though nano!nano v2 is pretty much the best option, but for example the FalbaTech builds use something else with WLAN, but I saw posts in mechMarket saying there problems with ghost strokes (something which never ever happened to me with any Logitech keyboard I have had and something I wouldn't accept)
Do you prefer wired or wireless keyboards?
I'm after a wireless Mechanical keyboard with backlit keys, prefer 60-75% boards and something like a mx brown switch. At this point, I just want something that is going to work well and be less than $300CAD.
I have two Keychrons already that struggle to get along with Linux.
Thank you for any suggestions!!
I am looking for a mechanical keyboard that is wireless and can work with multiple devices simultaneously. I've read that Keychron keyboard can do this and I really like their look.
However, I am kind of overwhelmed by all their options and setups. ( Q K V, max / pro / standard, etc)
My requirements are fairly simple I think:
- Wireless keyboard (that can connect and easilty switch between my laptop / desktop)
- Full size (100% I believe they call it)
Any advice on which keyboards might be best for me?\
UPDATE: Bought the V6 Max from a trusted Dutch retailer, to make sure that defaults or issues are handled well. So far really happy with the product and the typing experience is very good. No issues and being connected to multiple devices is a game changer for me as well.
