Best Wireless gaming keyboard 2024
1. Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless
The best wireless gaming keyboard
SPECIFICATIONS
- Switch: ROG NX switches, Snow or Storm
- Size: Full size
- Backlights: Full
- Passthroughs: No
- Media controls: Dedicated
- Wristrest: None
Wireless keyboards pass through our hands often, but every now and then a stand out keyboard appears that blows us away, and the Asus ROG Strix Scope II 96 Wireless stands out as simply the best wireless gaming keyboard we’ve seen in, well, forever. The fact that it’s wireless is more than just a bonus point, but given all the great design and feel on offer here it’s almost difficult to know where to start.
The typing feel is outstanding, thanks to lubed switches straight from the factory that provide a sublime typing and gaming experience right out of the box. Lubing keys is normally something reserved for people who are really, really into their keyboard feel, but Asus has deemed the process worth doing for the ROG NX switches used, and the results are extremely impressive.
2. Keychron K2 (Version 2)
The best budget wireless gaming keyboard
SPECIFICATIONS
- Switch: Gateron
- Size: 84-key
- Backlights: White LED
- Passthroughs: None
- Media controls: Function shortcuts
- Wristrest: None
The Keychron K2 redefines affordability as the best wireless gaming keyboard. It starts out at just $69 and you get a decent-sized gaming keyboard with great wireless functionality and Gateron mechanical switches.
You may think that for this sort of price you’re going to have to make major sacrifices. Maybe even ditch mechanical switches. But you don’t. The Keychron K2 offers swathes of features that are more likely found on pricier boards, including both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and simple swapping between Windows and MacOS.
There are a few Gateron switches to choose from. Your usual fare of linear, clicky or tactile. We have tactile Gateron switches in our review unit, which are unspectacular and quite pingy on the enter and backspace keys, but otherwise pleasant enough to use for both typing and gaming.
3. Logitech G915 Lightspeed
The best low-profile wireless gaming keyboard
SPECIFICATIONS
- Switch: Logitech GL low profile
- Size: Full size
- Backlight: RGB LED
- Passthrough: None
- Media Controls: Dedicated
- Wristrest: None
- Keycaps: ABS
The Logitech G915 remains our pick for the best low-profile wireless gaming keyboard. This wireless keyboard has been around the Sun a few times but it doesn’t cease to be a great pick, even in 2024.
I have owned the Logitech G915 for many years now, and it remains in constant use to this day. It’s dustier than ever, requiring some extreme deep clean that I cannot be bothered to do, but all the switches, caps and even the battery remain as in tip-top shape.
One of the primary benefits of picking up the G915 today is that it’s often going for under MSRP in the sales. Most days it’s under $200, but it’s often going even less in the seasonal sales, and you can score a really good deal on some stellar features if you time it right.
4. Asus ROG Azoth
The best high-end wireless gaming keyboard
SPECIFICATIONS
- Switch: ROG NX Linear|Tactile|Clicky
- Size: 75%
- Backlight: Per key
- Passthrough: None
- Media Controls: Dedicated
- Wristrest: None
The Asus Azoth is the best high-end wireless gaming keyboard for good reason: it oozes quality. From the sleek lubed switches under the surface to the neat OLED screen with equalizer and multifunction tactile doo-dad, everything on the Azoth makes me want it more.
You have to want what the Azoth is offering to justify the price. It does not come cheap, and if you consider its compact frame and fewer keys than normal, that’s an even dearer cost to surmount. But this is the best high-end gaming keyboard for a reason.
What Asus gets extremely right with the Azoth, and the Strix Scope II 96 Wireless for that matter, is the feeling of each key press. Each key comes down with a soft and satisfying clack. It’s gorgeous to type on, but the ROG NX switches are also plenty responsive enough for gaming. If you don’t like them for whatever reason, though you’d be silly not to, you can pluck them out of the chassis thanks to its hot-swappable design.
5. SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Wireless
The best competitive wireless gaming keyboard
SPECIFICATIONS
- Switch: OmniPoint 2.0
- Size: Tenkeyless
- Backlight: Per key
- Passthrough: None
- Media Controls: Volume wheel and mute button
- Wristrest: None
There are a lot of great wireless gaming keyboards on this list, but this is one we’d recommend for its compact frame and competitive gaming edge. That’s because this SteelSeries board comes with magnetic OmniPoint 2.0 switches, which allow the user to make this keyboard more responsive than most today.
The actuation point of each switch can be set anywhere between 0.2–3.8mm via the SteelSeries software. What that means is, if you have your keys set to 0.2mm actuation, the lightest of light key presses will register a key press. You really don’t have to depress the keys at all to see that action play out on screen. That’s great for the WASD keys, or action keys surrounding it.
For typing it’s less good, as you might find you make more mistakes, but that’s where the Apex Pro’s profiles come in handy. You can set these up to change the stored settings for whatever games you’re playing at the time, one for typing, whatever. You can also set a fun image on the built-in OLED screen on the keyboard which helps easily differentiate which profile you’re using at the time.
